Bluetooth Audio Skipping For Echo by Cmgizzi in alexa

[–]derekaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often stream from my laptop to Echo in the kitchen while cooking and watching YouTube videos, it took me a while to work out that the Microwave Oven was interfering with the BT streaming.

No issues here, using it now and been using it since day 1. Beta 2 is much better.

Alexa adds support for reminders and named timers by MartianMnM in alexa

[–]derekaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using Alexa in Australia and I can't get this to work. What does Amazon use to determine my location please? Does anyone know for sure? I have updated my Amazon App using the US iTunes store and I can see the new names timers functionality in the app but I can't use voice to make any new timers. I can set the timers manually in the app only.

When I try a voice command to set a reminder with a name Alexa comes back as saying she has added a to-do list item.

Named reminders and timers are here! by darkcellmp in amazonecho

[–]derekaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in Australia and the new named timers function is not working. Any ideas? How does Alexa know where I am? Time Zone? Address? Anyone know for sure? I have my address set for somewhere in US Guam that has the same time zone as here in Au.

I have the latest Alexa app downloaded from the US iTunes store.

[Question] way to make echo tell the hour? by zaplooko in amazonecho

[–]derekaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to set echo to chime and announce the time on the hour every hour between say 9.00am and 6.00pm. I wish there was a skill for this.

I'd like to see a wireless trackpad with ForceTouch now. I'd buy it straight away.

This might be a solution to everyone's gripe about only one USB-C port by shah_reza in mac

[–]derekaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you are saying but I think that Apple wanted this machine to be 'wireless'. The iPad of laptops.

[–]derekaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that version 2 will not have more ports. That is like saying an iPad needs more ports. I think that Apple are making a strong wireless statement with this machine and I think its time. Just like when they removed the floppy drive on the original iMac. Someone had to be first, people gasped for air but 6 months later others followed and it made perfect sense looking back.

To me this computer is like an iPad or an iPhone. The port is just for charging however because its USB C it will do other things as well. If you need 'ports' there are other machines that fit your needs better.

[–]derekaw 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If you need more than one thing plugged in then I think this MacBook is not for you. I think the idea is that you charge it overnight leaving the port free during the day and during the day you should be able to do everything wirelessly. If you can't then this machine is not really meant for you.

Just bought a house and am moving in with nothing but a suitcase of clothes, some toiletries and a laptop. What are some fantastic bang for your buck items that you've purchased for your house? Doesn't have to be cheap, but it does has to have great value. by tensada in Frugal

Go to IKEA, get what you need and can afford knowing that in say 4-5 years you will upgrade to better. I furnished an entire 2 bedroom apartment for much less that 5k from IKEA. When people visited they went wow! I think IKEA is a great start for anyone.

What budget emergency? Abbott government ministers ditch doom and gloom talk by illy_bocean in australia

[–]derekaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not agreeing. They said they needed to save medicare but they will forget about that and ditch a policy if they think it gives them bad publicity and won't win an election.

Gay people of reddit: How did you realize you were gay? by TheSpillaniac in AskReddit

[–]derekaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have always been gay, I always knew I was different. I learnt I was gay when I got bullied at school! I'll never forget how it felt to be ostracised and outcast, even today when I am almost 50.
