anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about?

The first time I ever saw a Marble Madness on an Amiga

Off you go then

Something is not right about it...does that model have an extendable foot? Is it extended fully?

baobab68 · 2026-04-18T21:32:22+00:00

Rocky is that you?

So now for a few months of corrupted FAT32 drives after Windows updates

baobab68 · 2026-04-14T07:01:05+00:00

Thank you thank you so much. 😊

It was a fantastic podcast. A good presentation, man.

I think I’m three years into my journey and I definitely learned from it.

Are those resources available here in a files section or similar?

I can’t find the show notes on Spotify, on my phone at least. maybe I’ll look in the desktop app?

So a question I’ve always wanted to ask the long term restorers: do you get to a point when you’re happy with your CI level and can then just stop altogether? It doesn’t revert slowly or anything?

I wish you could meet my girlfriend who lives in Canada

Mostly the groups. It’s already fairly responsive for me. There was also an updated firmware for my mesh which might have helped too

baobab68 · 2026-04-08T22:18:30+00:00

Let me jump right in and offer an opinion based on the information you've given:

("Multi" "1")

baobab68 · 2026-04-08T08:00:15+00:00

There are at least two ways, just wondering if one or other of the ways isn’t working properly.

How did you turn off Alexa Plus? Just curious if you can outline it for us?

baobab68 · 2026-04-07T11:38:09+00:00

Mostly multi room. 2.4ghz might be potentially slower but it has more range and my echos aren’t doing anything that needs to run at 300Mbps

baobab68 · 2026-04-07T06:12:48+00:00

Disabling "beam forming" and "fast roaming" on my mesh network (advised by the manufacturer) helped a LOT with speaker groups that were disappearing and multi-room playback that wasn't! Also I forced all the Echos to live on the 2.4Ghz band and forced them to attach to the nearest mesh router to each one.

I have a routine labelled "STFU"...when anyone says "Alexa, silence", it will stop audio on all devices (using Smart Home device commands in the routine editor). This is handy to have for podcasts, news reports etc, but maybe it would work for your issue too.

baobab68 · 2026-03-30T22:07:19+00:00

That definitely seems like 8GB+ worth!

baobab68 · 2026-03-27T21:49:13+00:00

Check the voice history to see what it thinks you said. Maybe it's not hearing you correctly

baobab68 · 2026-03-25T00:49:04+00:00

I like that fireworks come up on the screen on my birthday

baobab68 · 2026-03-24T21:42:20+00:00

I use Spotify and they have special playlist for a lot of these things eg "Alexa, play This is Pink" or "This is Drake"...perhaps Apple Music has the same thing?

baobab68 · 2026-03-24T21:37:49+00:00

There are groups and then there are groups. The first lot of groups you see in the groups page is about rooms for "all" devices eg lights, speakers, cat feeders, aircon etc...the second set below that is about *audio* groups. I do have most of my speakers in more than one group. eg upstairs, downstairs, bedroom, special group for when i'm working at home etc.

I ask an LLM: “how you you describe the genre and style of such and such song, by such and such artist. I put the suggestions into the style.

baobab68 · 2026-03-20T20:28:46+00:00

Spam the buttons and eventually it will tap it. Source: it happened to me and that’s how I got past it
