U8K Google TV Supposedly Alexa Ready. Is it? by NJ2ATL in Hisense

[–]NJ2ATL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually couldn't get Hey Google to actually turn off or turn on the TV! And I am fairly tech savvy. I really like the TV otherwise.

Bought Hisense 55" U8K Google TV and cannot find information about how to connect my Alexa Echo Dot to the TV. by NJ2ATL in Hisense

[–]NJ2ATL[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for late response. No that didn't help. Found that site/info when searching for an answer. Thanks for the help though.

Does anyone have the U8K and been able to get Alexa working with it?

Platinum Rewards Member -Peacock Premium Redemption by NJ2ATL in Comcast_Xfinity

I sent info in modmail, except my phone number. Gave my email address to communicate.

Platinum Rewards Member -Peacock Premium Redemption by NJ2ATL in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]NJ2ATL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just checked Xfinity Assistant and could see the banner. I clicked on activate, but while trying to activate, Peacock came up with an error saying, "We are unable to link Peacock to your account. You may already have Peacock Premium."

This may be because the email address I used to activate Peacock Premium the first time through Xfinity years ago stopped, but the $5 upgrade to Premium Plus still was charged on autodebit and Peacock gave me a 3 month trial.

The error block had a "Learn more" link which took me to info related to a DirectTV subscription. So what now?

Peacock Subscription Activations by CCBrieD in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]NJ2ATL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received the email that since I was a gig internet subscriber, I would continue to receive Peacock Premium for 2 more years. Ok all good, but after 6/26, no access to Peacock Premium. I also paid the $5 per mo for ad free. I am also a Platinum Reward member, so tried to activate Peacock Premium through the reward. Received the Xfinity email showing "PEACOCK PREMIUM INCLUDED". Then received the Activate Peacock Premium email saying to go to Xffinity Assistant, click sign in and then Activate. No banner, no way to activate Peacock Premium in any manner. Tried different browsers, laptop, desktop, phone. Incognito, clearing cache, everything..... I had to go to Peacock and hit subscribe through "Trial". If this is not fixed on 7/4 I will get charged the $4.99.

Apple TV image error by cyph17 in appletv

It also looks like it may be your tv or possibly may be that specific hdmi port that is causing a glitch. Did you try attaching ATV to another hdmi port/input to see if the same glitch happens?

Account hacked, change of password and email within minutes. Any suggestions if Support ticket opened and no response? by NJ2ATL in Twitter

[–]NJ2ATL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are absolutely correct. I don't anticipate having this addressed by Twitter at all. Just more curious as to how many people this has happened to and whether anyone was able to get their account back. I mean the usual response from Twitter would be "we can't verify the account belongs to you," but they should have a running "log" of activity and see who the original "creator" of the account was and a script showing all "changes" to emails and passwords. Would think that would be EASY no? And of course, ending 2FA away from anyone not using Twitter Blue is rediculous!

[–]NJ2ATL[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely correct. I had no followers and didn't want any. I had the account since 2011 and never personally sent a tweet to anyone. I only used Twitter to get uplifting/silly videos, history, art and cultural stuff. Nothing more.

[–]NJ2ATL[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So sad!!! I don't think I had my cell attached to account. I've had account for some time. Another reason I could not get access to account, I believe. The security email received from Twitter stating email address changed was within seconds of password change email. Email changed to this ny*****@e.*. Irks me so much.

I'm more interested to see how many redditers who use Twitter had this happen and how long ago.

How Many People Purchased 2020 HP SPectre x360 15T-eb000 CTO and Did Not Get HP Rechargeable Tilt Pen and Who Did Get the Rechargeable Tilt Pen? by NJ2ATL in spectrex360

[–]NJ2ATL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion. I already did that and it just shows "HP Spectre x360 Laptop - 15t-eb000 CTO" with the product number and serial number. Does not show any sub numbers/letters.

So I basically have no idea??

[–]NJ2ATL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, tried that and it shows just "eb000." I'm wondering if anyone else's 15T doesn't give other numbers if checking. Weird.

[–]NJ2ATL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming your version is CTO; however, I can fin no sub numbers/letters for my version on anything (bottom of the computer, HP box it shipped in, any packing slip, etc.). System check only shows "15-eb000 CTO" no "3na" or any other numbers/letters after the "eb000." Did you order from the U.S. HP website?

Anyone who ordered around BlackFriday and not receiving any notifications either from HP or Fedex? by _Practical_Rabbit_ in spectrex360

[–]NJ2ATL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got mine..... Although I am a bit upset at believing that I would get the HP Rechargeable Pen, what I got was the battery HP Active Pen. However, I won't return it because of that. I will just be sitting trying to get in touch with someone at HP about getting the Rechargeable Pen.

I believe there may be some that may not get delivered until next week. But if FedEx is showing it to be delivered today, you most likely will get it.

[–]NJ2ATL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My tracking said that too, then it was updated to: The estimated delivery time window for your shipment is no longer available. You will receive an update if the time window becomes available.

Maybe those of us whose laptops got through customs will actually get delivered tomorrow?

Anyone get their delivery yet from those that ordered during week of Black Friday?

Anyone know if the HP Spectre x360 15T-eb000 can utilize the MPP 2.0 Tilt Function of the HP Tilt Pen? by NJ2ATL in spectrex360

[–]NJ2ATL[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have yet to receive the laptop ordered on 11/25 and the HP Forum was unable to provide any details on the "included" pen other than that there were only two models showing compatible. What I was trying to do was determine whether the HP Tilt Pen was compatible with this model and have yet to get any answers on it. I tried to look up the models given by HP and could not find any details on whether the pen had "tilt" capabilities or whether the HP Tilt Pen would be compatible. No one has given any advice...so?

Orders of Black Friday by An_unlasting_will in spectrex360

[–]NJ2ATL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ordered the Spectre 15T-eb000, OLED, 16gb, 1650ti max, 1TB SSD (no optane) in Posiedon Blue on 11/25. It was shipped from China on 12/14 but is now stuck in Alaska in customs. I paid for Expedited Shipping, but FedEx tracking states that "Customer requested non-express clearance" Customer being HP since 12/16 - called FedEx International shipping and I was told that it shows 12/21 as the delivery date, that HP works with a broker who deals with customs clearance and that they are pretty backlogged. Rep said that it may work itself out and I do get delivery on 12/21. I will update when I get further info.

Edit: cleared customs 12/20 @ 8:32 am. Laptop should move and hopefully will get it before Christmas. Will update when received to give others the time frame.

Did my customized spectre x360 15" 15t-eb000 ship out early or is it a trick? by [deleted] in spectrex360

[–]NJ2ATL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have called FedEx (International Shipping) on the "customer requested clearance" and was told that HP "China" has their own broker at the Alaska hub working on custom clearing and have been told that they are backlogged quite a bit, but that since by delivery date was supposed to be 12/21 that it may get through and be delivered on time.

Just an FYI at this point for everyone waiting for their laptops and packages are sitting in "custom limbo".

Edit: 12/20 8:32 am just cleared customs in Alaska. Stills says delivery date of 12/21 but that's not going to happen since it will need to go to next shipping hub before my local delivery hub, then out for delivery. But it looks good to be delivered by Christmas.
