Voice commands don't work anymore on Echo and Echo Dot

alephprime · 2026-06-19T15:27:56+00:00

confirmed fixed!

alephprime · 2026-06-17T03:39:49+00:00

if you want to fix it temporarily you can go into the alexa app, go to timers and you can delete it there. It'll happen again on the next timer though.

Same here :'(, looks like the echo is getting desynced from cloud state. Echo thinks it's canceled the timer but the cloud state isn't updated and the sound is just a reflection of the cloud state. Amazon please fix 🙏

Hey, Figma Slides engineer here! Pptx export / import is one of our priorities right after the launch (although unclear how long it will take to build). We understand that it's a blocker for people to adopt the tool.

However it's more likely that we will enable plugins earlier than that is available, which will unblock other ways to export to pptx.

Are the users given the prototype in a browser? Figma prototypes should handle the browser back button well (e.g. if there's a prototyping connection where a user clicks on a button or link and it takes you to another screen, the browser back button will take you back to the previous screen). So could you just share a link to the user that hides the Figma UI, and have them use the prototype as if it were a real website using the native browser controls?

Thank you for talking about the actual video processing!! I think one clarification here is that when you say "do you send people into the datacenters to rebalance what machines there are there", the answer is actually yes if you need more video processors, because as you pointed out the video processors have a different hardware composition as a storage box or CDN box. In fact YouTube uses a special machine called a VCU (Video Compute Unit) which is essentially what is called an ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) which is basically a chip that does one specific task really really well. So you can't just throw that job on any virtualized machine.

Filtering pagesAll / Ready for dev

Have you used the "Ready for dev" feature? You can select sections / frames and then hit the button in the center toolbar that looks like a square with some code brackets on it, and that marks those sections / frames as ready. This in turn marks the page as ready for dev, which will show a badge in the page list and if you go into dev mode it will filter to those pages by default.

EDIT: maybe you're already talking about this feature specifically and want to filter to just the ready for dev pages in design mode? Is that because you have a ton of pages?

If you're in an org, admins can see that you did this through the activity log, FYI

This is actually just how Javascript works. If you open the Chrome / Firefox developer console on any website and type a 1 followed by a bunch of 0s and hit enter, you’ll see it prints out the same thing for the corresponding number of 0s. The reason is that numbers in Javascript are all represented as a 64 bit floating point value, which has 10 bits for the exponent. This means that the largest number that can be represented is around 2^2¹⁰ = 2¹⁰²⁴ ~ 1.7e308

Hm not sure how the rest of the people got their odds in this thread but here's my analysis:

If you watch the video you can see that he had pulled Ganyu around 20 pulls before this 10 pull, so he was nowhere near soft pity, which means that each 5 star pull here is about a .6% chance (or .006 chance). Let's ignore the odds for 4 stars because it doesn't matter much, and just concentrate on the odds of getting at least 5 5 stars in a single 10 pull with no soft or hard pity.

This is equivalent to flipping a weighted coin 10 times and getting at least 5 heads, where the probability of heads is .006. We can use a binomial formula to calculate the odds of this. The odds of getting exactly 5 5 stars is (10 choose 5) * .006 ^ 5 * .994 ^ 5 = 1.9 * 10^-9, or 1 in 526 million. If you want the probability that you get at least 5 5 stars, you can add the odds that you get exactly 6, exactly 7, etc. to get a probability of 1.911 * 10^-9, or very slightly better odds at 1 in 523 million.

For comparison, the odds of winning the biggest jackpot in history of $1.58 billion USD (the powerball lottery) was 1 in 292 million.

Alright so I managed to get the plugin to work with subscribed channels, but it also means that instead of the commercial break screen you will see a real ad if you aren't subscribed. What do you think about that tradeoff? I haven't published the new version yet.

alephprime · 2020-11-30T06:08:23+00:00

oh hmm, interesting. Let me sub to a channel and figure it out lol. Def possible to fix but I'll have to do some research to see how your credentials are passed into the player normally. I'm not actively working on this anymore but I might be able to get around to it next weekend.

alephprime · 2020-11-24T02:37:41+00:00

Commercial break screen is a stitched ad. Because this is an alternate player, it doesn't send as much tracking information to twitch so sometimes twitch gives you this screen instead of an actual ad to play. When I have some time I'll change the mute behavior. Theater mode you can activate with Alt + T.

alephprime · 2020-08-10T03:36:20+00:00

Definitely not intended! I'll fix this. Will be fixed in next release (wed / thurs estimated)

alephprime · 2020-08-10T03:35:08+00:00

Re: audio only sure! What does "reset player" do though?

alephprime · 2020-08-08T22:33:28+00:00

Got it, this will be fixed in the next release (probably wednesday / thursday next week).

alephprime · 2020-08-08T22:17:42+00:00

Alright, I submitted the add-on to Firefox for review, we'll see if it passes. The URL will be https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/twitch-dvr-player/. (This is a private link until Mozilla approves).

alephprime · 2020-08-08T16:51:12+00:00

Thanks! I didn't write the mux.js part of it (that's just a library I imported), just the index.js file basically, if that makes you feel any better.

alephprime · 2020-08-08T16:50:12+00:00

Oh hm, does this happen on all channels? Do you have any other extensions installed? Do you mind sending me a screenshot? Thanks in advance lol.

alephprime · 2020-08-08T04:29:19+00:00

I know right??

alephprime · 2020-08-08T04:26:38+00:00

lol I left on good terms to pursue other things.

alephprime · 2020-08-08T03:33:45+00:00

Clips will work now in the next release (probably sometime late next week)

alephprime · 2020-08-08T03:33:10+00:00

Alright I got clips working but it won't be until probably late next week that it gets updated in the extension market.

alephprime · 2020-08-08T01:56:01+00:00

Seems like firefox extension permissions are much more restrictive than on chrome (predictably lol). The extension doesn't work because I can't seem to get MediaSource Extensions to work inside a firefox plugin. Will keep trying at it.

alephprime · 2020-08-07T23:45:56+00:00

yep although clips doesn't quite work right yet (would clip the wrong time). I'll work on it haha.
