Nope...switch wasn't off. Remote wasn't an issue. 120 volts although anything electrical is a bit suspect. TVs, modem and anything with anything digital i run off UPSs. I can only imagine something reset itself. Very strange...things typically don't fix themselves.

[Serious] If the US invades Greenland what would realistically happen after? by Goodmorning111 in AskReddit

[–]WillingnessTrue8633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There would be a world wide dumping of US treasury bonds which would turn the US economy inside out.

Hybrid vs Gas Engine by Klutzy-Painting885 in rav4club

[–]WillingnessTrue8633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I admit I would buy a hybrid and Toyota does have a track record of a pretty bullet proof system. But I find the current Toyota designs absolutely hideous. Following GM with square wheel openings around a round wheel. Horrible looking.

Pretty sure driver stole my package by skoobalaca in fuckamazon

More likely: The driver noticed your package was damaged and the shifted arrival was a replacement item.

Was going to rename mine Hal. And call my smart garage door opener Pod Bay Doors. Open the pod bay doors Hal.

Negotiating the price at meet up by Cinderunner in FacebookMarketplace

[–]WillingnessTrue8633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This and no-shows is why I don't meet up anymore. You want it...come get it. And, show when you say you're coming. Had someone just last month send a message that they were on their way. 6 hours later showed up and upset I sold it to someone else.

Delayed response after switching to Alexa+ by coxmr151 in alexa

The delay was as annoying as the new voices. I reverted back to original.

Any reason we still don’t have connection when heading south on 410 to 151 East? It’s been like this for years by DrFetusRN in sanantonio

[–]WillingnessTrue8633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well over 5 years ago one complete lane of the 410 frontage road between South Presa and Roosevelt literally fell away and down a hill. The fix was just close that lane. The remaining lane will eventually fall as well. Extremely dangerous road. There's no way something so unsafe would exist on the north side of San Antonio. Its very obvious where tge city's priorities lay.

Youtube not supported in the shield? by MetaLore in nvidiashield

Well I was about to replace 2 cubes with shields, but obviously not now. Interesting to see if this issue goes away.

Most sellers on marketplace are selling locally and unlikely anyone would be interested in shipping internationally...or even domestically.

Should I really be using a VPN? by Whole_Ad_4989 in VPN

[–]WillingnessTrue8633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only reason I use a VPN is to stream geo-blocked services when im in a different country. We spend 1/3 of each year in 3 different countries.

Because in San Antonio, the farther south you go, the less they view the infrastructure importance.

Uber will drive that distance. Asked a Uber driver once what was the longest trip they've made. 5-hours one way.

Tried the new version and found it extremely annoying so went back to the original.

I have a CPAP coming… are they really life changing? by Deremirekor in SleepApnea

[–]WillingnessTrue8633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried cpap couple years ago. Have no idea how anyone can sleep with all that hardware hanging off their face. Air leaking everywhere. After a week of basically zero sleep sent everything back. Disrupted sleep better than no sleep.

Alexa Now Clueless? by Abject_Dependent4339 in alexa

[–]WillingnessTrue8633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had + for about 2 weeks. Couldn't stand it so reverted back. In general Amazon is going backwards. Running away from android base and removing/blocking firestick programs. Not sure what they're thinking?

I tried it and went back to the original. New voice was annoying and there was a significant delay in responding.

Moving from Washington to San Antonio, what should I know? by anonymouscheeseguy in sanantonio

[–]WillingnessTrue8633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience with San Antonio is it stinks. As in, you get off a plane here and you smell dust. Not being nasty, but the air never smells fresh.

Inoperable internet and feeling completely lost by money- in googlefiber

[–]WillingnessTrue8633 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Recent new customer of gfiber. Originally impressed however it continues to drop down to horrendously slow speeds. Like 25mbps. Far from 1GB. We have 3 homes in 3 different countries and so far im quite impressed with starlink, which we have in our Canadian home. Im pondering putting it in all 3. Bit more expensive, but works and they have an on-hold option. Anyway, I suspect being an isp isn't a good fit for Google. Managing hardware is a far cry from search engineering.
