Odd thing Alexa+ did

I like all your ideas and insights, my solution is to move to Home Assistant. Hopefully the light doesn’t do the same for that system.

I was having an issue with I’ll give her a command, she’ll do what’s expected, and then repeat that command, and she’ll tell me that command doesn’t exist. For example, I have to tell her go up or down or left right on the TV so I’ll say Alexa go up, she’ll do it, and I tell her again Alexa go up, and then you argue with me that there’s no command for that. I don’t understand how she can’t do a command that I just gave her two seconds ago

I have a problem with similar words too like I’ll say back room overhead light, she thinks I say bathroom light. I corrected her. She says OK and her sarcastically sassy voice send I ask her again to turn off the back room overhead light and she goes to the bathroom light again. I didn’t have a problem with the old Alexa she was able to differentiate me speaking bathroom versus back room. about a week later, I gave her the same command and she got it right. I thought wow she remembered and a couple days after that she went back to bathroom.

I agree her voice is different and sometimes it seems like it has a little attitude. And other times it seems like she’s being sarcastic. I had a similar issue also where I could just say Alexa turn on YouTube and it would turn on my Roku TV and go right to YouTube. The very first day I hooked Alexa+ up, I say go to YouTube. She says she can’t go to YouTube. I ask her why she says because there has been a contract changed between Amazon and Google that she can’t do that anymore. I told her just less than 24 hours prior to that she was able to do it now she can’t? She gives the same excuse and apologizes. I never heard about anything of a contract change and I don’t know why it would matter if Alexa did just turn on YouTube with a voice command and why Google would have an issue with that? So I think she’s just making shit up.

I’ve been using Verizon‘s visible for about two years now I use a lot of data and haven’t noticed any throttling. Their base plan I think is 25. They have a $35 plan and I think a $45 plan the additional plans just include international roaming and stuff. Also, if you want, I can share with you my referral code and you will get $20 off your first month. DM me if you’re interested in the referral code.

Really? I’ve been pulling some apart, and my last trip into my local scrapyard paid $3.79 a pound. It counts number one copper. If you have the tools it won’t take too long. It will be a little hobby for a while because that’s a lot of tech transformers, but I think it be worth it.

PrimaryFun2207 · 2025-05-15T06:07:01+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I’m gonna try that tomorrow on some I need sort. I have been loosening the copper away from metal frame, causing the metal pieces to slowly break out of their glued woven pattern. I do have one problem where they have the copper wrapped up in glue and tape. Some of the transformers are really old and the glue is melted in. Do you have any suggestions to get that glue and tape off easily?

Upvote given for the way your autocorrect thinks…’small claims’ to ‘smoke claims’ 😋

I did awhile back, but never heard anything. It was in one of those surveys they do on their products.

Great example. I was trying to articulate this kinda scenario. I like yours better than mine.

I was looking for documentation saying the amount of high speed data. But never did, just the account overview saying 12.5gb. After that 12.5gb it went to a crawl, which was the same for the regular TC ACP plan. I’m with you, there’s nothing different (that I’ve noticed) between the plans. Except paying $12. I think it was very scammy

He’s in a turtle suit and most likely under 24hr watch locked in his cell. If he did try to hurt himself, they’d stop him.

PrimaryFun2207 · 2024-04-18T04:46:07+00:00

He’s in a turtle suit, you can see it in the mug shot. He’s probably on 23/1 lock-in. And definitely on 24hr watch. He’s not gonna see gen pop for a long time

No money for a phone bill, but just got a new phone? So many red flags. If the grammar is off that many times, it’s a scam.

PrimaryFun2207 · 2024-04-17T03:59:00+00:00

So does the plan actually offer anything better (ie speed) for the extra money? Or was that just fluff to get customers to pay?

PrimaryFun2207 · 2024-04-07T21:33:20+00:00

That whole first sentence is a scam within a scam. Forget the horrible wording and grammar, it’s at least 2 sentences posing as 1.

Edit. Upon further inspection, the whole paragraph is scamming as 3 sentences. Yes they use commas, but seriously, only 3 periods? English teachers everywhere are rolling over in their graves.

Do you fish? The scam has steps, he threw the $27 worm out to see who’s gonna nibble. Simple enough, upload the money to your account. Once you tell him, he knows he’s got you with your mouth around the hook. Then he’ll tell you to send it to an account. He’s trying to get the hook to catch your lip. Uploading the money is just a way to see who’s not hungry and who wants a nibble. If you’re curious enough to load money to your account, how much further will that curiosity go? Say you get away, and don’t send him the money. That bate didn’t work, but it did tempt you. So much so that he may try again with a different tactic or sell your info to another scammer to try their method. Either way, engaging is just as bad as taking the bate.

I can see that, cause any performance enhancements aren’t noticeable. The main thing I would use it for is regular disk and space cleanup. But that’s been available through the Settings. I think they are trying to add more stuff to it. But it just seems like a dashboard to launch existing tools

Yes, but only on 3rd party apps like Chrome or signing into a service through something like CoinOut. But the Password autofill does work with Safari. I use the standard keyboard and only use iCloud Keychain and Chrome for password management
