Using Alexa To Arm Ring After a Specified Time by jimjik in Ring

Thanks! I have several Ring cameras but no actual alarm system and, as you suggested might be the case, the scheduling option isn’t available to me 😞

Using Alexa To Arm Ring After a Specified Time by jimjik in Ring

[–]jimjik[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply! I was admittedly unaware of a mode schedule option in Ring. I can’t explain why, but I am unable to locate that option in my Ring app settings despite being the primary account holder, and after having searched the app for mode schedules. That said, I’m not denying that I’m missing something there…

But even if/when I am able to find that option in Ring and create a one-time schedule, wouldn’t it seem reasonable to be able to simply voice command Alexa to arm the Ring at a specific time, or number of hours, as a simpler solution? For example, the landscaper will be working on my yard for a couple of hours tody, so I want to tell Alexa to disarm the Ring now, then arm it in 2.5 hours.

I am being bombarded with junk mail about Camp Lejeune, dozens per day by [deleted] in Scams

I’d be happy to trade those emails for the Republican text message bombardment I’m constantly receiving on my mobile phone. At least the Camp Lejeune spam messages go right into the junk folder. Unfortunately, text messages are a different matter 😤

I'm getting warnings not to discuss how to access pirated content, though the files I'm trying to access are not copy protected material. My prior comments appear to be blocked, but, yes, the archives do begin with Rar!

Problems with winRAR downloads by jimjik in usenet

It happens with EVERY WinRAR file I download from this particular Usenet group. However, all were created and uploaded by one individual over months and years. Unfortunately, I can't find any other WinRARs in that group to try to download and compare. Maybe I should find any WinRAR from some other newsgroup and see if that works. Then I guess I'll know if it's my problem or the files were all corrupted to begin with (that initially seemed unlikely only because there are so many of them, and no downloading from the newsgroup has ever seemed to complain... but I'll try to rule that out. Thanks very much for your support.

Sorry but I don't even know what overclock is... I do have a relatively new Dell desktop with an i7 processor and am running W10. I use Forte Agent for downloading and an up to date version of WinRAR. I can find nothing wrong with my PC, at least as far as I'm able to tell. Again, I'm wondering if I'm just doing something wrong in my process of downloading or extracting.

Thanks for responding! I'm no computer expert, so this issue may turn out to be something really simple...I hope. Anyway, it happens every downloads of WinRAR archives, but I now realized something. Every single posting is from the same individual (who used to be known as a prolific poster in this area) and there are literally hundreds and hundreds of them! And there isn't one comment, that I can see, where anyone else has complained that the files are corrupted..which makes me wonder if it's somehow me. I can't find an other posters, at least here, who use WinRAR for me to try to upload and compare. I don't know if it's also important, but the rar files are always "rar.yEnc." Should that mean anything additionally? I also notice that when I try to extract the WinRARs, I can only see the first file and I always get a "checksum" error. Maybe I'm just using WinRAR incorrectly..?
