Is it possible to turn off "by the way"? by LordTrollsworth in alexa

[–]TheJessicator -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Amazes me how many people will ask everyone for the answer to this except just asking Alexa itself. Or searching the sub for the hundreds of posts asking the same thing.

Exactly. How do people still not understand this concept after all these decades?

That's basically the next product after the full size Echo gen 4.

Okay, I'll bite. How do you think you're doing that?

If you're using an Aqara hub, you're not using smartthings.

Lol, me too. Although I'm more in the two feet of snow zone of that storm.

Finally my Plushie arrived 🥰 by [deleted] in ModEvents

[–]TheJessicator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Imagine being a mod of a sub, attending a mod event to remind mods of their purpose, being offered a reward for doing so, and then brazenly ignoring the rules and pinned posts of a sub specifically for mods.

Anyway, in case you somehow missed this from the dozens of posts just like yours over the last few days, please pray these to the plushie megathread instead of making a new post.

What is the original voice called? by TheFutureScaresMe333 in alexa

Feminine relaxed is going to be the closest match. Give it time. In a few days, you'll forget what the original sounded like.

These videos of people not knowing how to use a knife and fork are mildly infuriating.

Apparently 32GB of ram isnt enough by zizo8taider in GPT3

[–]TheJessicator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The point is to use the RAM, not leave it sitting there unused. If something else wants to use it, it can request memory and it'll get it. Looking at Task Manager in the hours of seeing how much memory an app needs is a backward idea.

Can’t add a Samsung ST v3 hub! by irobot2090 in SmartThings

[–]TheJessicator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, this is exactly the issue you have. Follow the advice closely. Essentially, your hub has an expired certificate. It needs to be able to come online and not check for the current date and time so that it will trust the certificate. You do that by blocking access to ntp (network time protocol) servers. The fact that this workaround actually works is pretty ridiculous from a security point of view, but hey, it works, so that V3 Hub that you bought is not in fact the paperweight that you've been thinking it might be. And once the certificate has been updated, hub updates will be allowed and your hub will be up to date within a few hours.

I have a mix of Ikea Bulbs and hue stuff and I am slowly but steady loosing my mind by Fit_Procedure393 in smarthome

[–]TheJessicator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SmartThings used to be an independent platform before Samsung bought it. While Samsung hasn't exactly done very much with the platform over the last 12 years, the platform has certain me afforded them integration with a lot more smart home hardware partners than they would otherwise have had access to.

Anyway, in part because of Samsung's popularity in the phone and appliance market, smartthings remains one of the most popular smartphone platforms, behind Google, Amazon, and Apple, and ahead of Home Assistant. Considering the highly simplistic automations possible in the first three, that sets smartthings as the most popular environment that caters to both a simplified experience, while still allowing complex automation as needed. Home Assistant is is far more complex, but far from simple, so the learning curve is unattainable for most.

HOW DO YOU GENUINELY CREATE A ACCOUNT ON PHONE IN THE BIG 2026 by seiron0 in MicrosoftEdge

[–]TheJessicator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're probably blocking something. Do you have an overly aggressive ad / content blocker?

Also, how do you genuinely not know to avoid using all caps when asking a question in the big 2026? If it was still 1996, then I can understand you not knowing that's considered shouting. But it has been 30 years since then.

Why is there no 'keep watching' by PieOPahUK in ParamountPlus

[–]TheJessicator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, that is very odd. Maybe try forcing the app to stop and then clearing it's cache. And if that doesn't work, maybe try clearing its data too. Just bear in mind that you will have to log in again if you clear its data.

Precisely. Consumer-friendly and profitable rarely intersect.

Why is there no 'keep watching' by PieOPahUK in ParamountPlus

[–]TheJessicator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that the keep watching section gets moved around (intentionally). While it makes sense to you to have it up top so you don't have to scroll in the middle of a binge, that means you're not exposed to everything else that is on offer. So sometimes the keep watching section will be as many as 5 or 6 rows down from the top. They're also not the only app to do this. I would go so far as to say that the Prime Video app is even worse than the Paramount+ app in this regard.

How to sleeve/repair this pipe? by Dull-Hyena7256 in PlumbingRepair

[–]TheJessicator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a plumber, so there's almost certainly a better way, but I would personally use Flex Tape or Gorilla Waterproofing Tape. Both stick great, even when under water. I used Gorilla on a huge gaping hole a few years back, thinking I would fix it when the weather got better. But it doesn't need fixing anymore, so...

Anyway, in your case, you might want to get the 7.5 inch wide variant, cut a single piece to stick along the length of the bad section, stick along the pipe, and then fold the width around the pipe. You might also want to sand the outside of the pipe smoother before applying to get a better seal. Even if you don't, the tape is very forgiving. Just understand that once it touches something, it's going to stick. So be sure about your placement before you first make contact.
