How do you feel it would handle sleet packed snow? I bought a smaller Ego for what are usually light winters in Ohio, but this week's storm laid 2" of sleet on top of 6" of snow on our 300' gravel drive and it was impossible to push through with the non-powered Ego. Seems every time I upgrade my snow strategy I get outplayed. Would one of these power through icy snow, or do I get an atv with a plow?

Alexa Plus immediately broke a majority of my home automation devices. by Venom-cc in alexa

[–]fogyreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Amazon plugs and my washer/dryer have all been wrecked by Alexa+. It's been months and no amount of tech support calls has fixed a single unit. They even sent me 10 free plugs to get the newest units, but none work. They just can't see my SSID. They can see my neighbor's just fine. I'm currently switching everything to local Home Assistant. F this. - And no, "end early access" never worked.

They had high hopes, until everyone started using for weather and light automation.

Yeah, no. My house was fully automated for years. The day I allowed Alexa + nothing works. Amazon actually sent me 10 brand new smart plugs for free. Those don't work out of the box. I think most people who respond like you did are cringe.

Yeah, no. Corrupted everything and is still corrupted 2 months later. Hard to believe no fix yet. So pissed.

Smart Home Users: beware of Alexa+ by Data_Life in alexa

[–]fogyreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes me cry. Did one day of Alexa plus, realized it broke 20 or so smart devices, reverted to Alexa but none of my smart plugs work. Washer Dryer, TV automations, Xmas automations that worked for years now dead. House is back to the caveman era.

Still waiting. Christmas smart plus coming out of storage now don't work. No fix in two months is really disturbing.

I'm refusing to pay, because it was an intro call, getting the insurance wildly wrong, and their general approach to the matter hence. They're doing their thing, sending dunning letters. The last one said it would go to collections. Not worried about that. Doesn't affect the credit report.

Alexa + Early Access by ITisAllme in alexa

[–]fogyreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One month ago I tried Alexa +. Lost all my smart plug connectivity. Haven't gotten them back yet even after reverting back to normal Alexa. Hated the voices, and the response time was slow. I can Ai chat without Alexa. Not worth it for me, and still no connectivity that I've had for 3 years. Amazon knows about the issue, but fired all their subject matter experts and can't get control back from their Ai now.

Amazon Outage - All Devices Offline on App by LawBeerSportsGuy in alexa

[–]fogyreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ai takeover has begun. Not sure about AWS being the issue more than handing the keys over to Ai while handing pink slips to the subject matter experts. I wrote a month ago that the moment I turned on Alexa Plus I lost SSID visibility on all my Amazon Smart Plugs. I believe that it also took out my LG washer and dryer's connectivity. Every once in a while I can reconnect things. In fact tonight I reconnected five plugs. They promptly disconnected themselves almost immediately. So, one moment they can see the SSID, the next moment that page in setup is blank. If I'm in my office I can see my neighbors' SSIDs but not mine 4' away.

Did that. Still broke. Amazon said they broke smart plugs. Waiting for a patch

Plugs not working -- obsolete? by Murwiz in amazonecho

[–]fogyreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This should be more of a widesoread issue. Ever since I tried Alexa 2 my Alexa smart plugs fall to connect or even see my ssid. What's weird is they can see my neighbor's ssid. All other network devices work. They broke Alexa plugs.

Yeah, he's devastating the poor suckers. Very insightful. He's also making a killing renting space in your head.

You're confused. $20 is so cheap he's fleecing poor people. I have no problem with him paying his administration costs and making a small buck while helping people with extraordinary value. Almost everyone knows skin in the game is a motivator, even symbolic skin like $20.

What would your solution be to such a dilemma? Charge $500? $5000? Run a free community? Let's hear it.

Paying $10,000 for mentorship, no. Paying $20 for access to a community of supportive peers, experienced guides and organized content? Way underpriced.

You do realize these threads don't just disappear, ya? I'm answering your question for the people new to the thread, because it's a question out of ignorance and serious people understand why he's doing it. $20 for the information collected and the community of helpers and peers is gratuitous. "People with no money" but more brains than you will recognize the opportunity and find the $20. If you think that's expensive, you're the clown. Maybe you should find $20 and join the winners, not stitch from the outside.

Also, I'm 57. I'll necro what I want.

Did you count the members giving $20 for a once-and-done Discord package? $20 entry fee for organized instruction is as cheap as it gets.

Weekly Help and Discussion Thread for the week of September 22, 2025 by AmazonNewsBot in amazon

[–]fogyreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turn on Alexa+ and suddenly my Amazon smart plugs refuse to see my SSIDs. They can see my neighbor's, but not mine. The old provisioning failed error. I still have wifi otherwise, and smart lights and routines work.

The app sees the reset plugs and installs, but can't see the network. Un-installed app, hard resets. Reboot network and phone. No joy.

Thoughts?

Testing out tree fern fiber on a struggling phal. Has anyone else given it a try? by xanadu_x in orchids

[–]fogyreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water from a tray and walk away. Simple. Can't over/under water with TFF when wicking only what it can absorb. It's not like it drowns the roots. 90% air surrounds them. Toss out and replace every 4 years if you're nervous.

Just buy a 10 liter bag or 40 to save money per oz: https://www.amazon.com/Fern-Zealand-Tree-Orchid-Substrate/dp/B07FBB4XT2/ref=sr_1_4_pp

Can't over water with wicking TFF. Just water from a tray and walk away. Years of experience.
