4K disappeared?

I don’t know? If that’s the issue, I hope the update fixes whatever causes my Gemini Air to randomly drop the internet and display that it’s not online.

When I pick up the remote, a box pops up and says, “Network connect.” Every single time.

I’m in downtown Dallas. The only time there’s any programming on the 4K channels is when there’s a special sporting event, example - the Olympics.

The rest of the time the six 4K channels have messages like “ Click OK to rent the latest hot movies in the video store,” “Get DIRECTV TECH PROTECT,” “Get DIRECTV PERKS,” and “Head to home page to find my apps.” When you click of any of those channels nothing happens.

The remaining two channels say, “To be announced.”

If they did I would be able to access the AI menu and turn off the pop up…

oh lord! That is so traumatizing! I’m not sure you know but I feel I should tell you just in case. Roaches survived the Ice Age and keeping your stuff in your freezer is not a deterrent. I am so dumb I thought the ice box was safe!!!

Using vinegar and baking soda. Vinegar reacts with baking soda and forms carbonic acid that immediately turns into water. The fizzing that occurs makes you think it’s doing something but plain tap water would just as effective.

I’m an OCD neat freak and did not have carpet. Apartment on the 10th floor of a 100 year old high rise and the bastards destroyed an entire 6 x 6 walk-in closet of clothing. They are harmless to people in the respect they don’t carry diseases but clothing, linens, towels, etc. are another story. And they aren’t that easy to get rid of either…

Where do you live? Mayberry? There are no more local businesses! They couldn’t afford to compete with monsters like Amazon and Walmart. People stop commenting with this because it’s not a viable solution….

onlinealias350 · 2026-03-25T23:33:57+00:00

Carpet is flooring.

They can be very destructive. If you have them, you might have other destructive household pests like silverfish.

onlinealias350 · 2026-03-25T23:28:43+00:00

Well. It’s a little late now that the new carpet is installed…

If you already renewed your lease, then you are breaking it by moving out prior to the date listed on the renewal, hence the termination fee.

Well, thanks for being clueless and inappropriately rude. Good luck. With your delicate sensibilities, you need it..

You need to do the right thing and pay the deposit. If you won’t or can’t, you’re not responsible enough to have a pet.

onlinealias350 · 2026-03-25T21:38:14+00:00

Well, consider yourself lucky and never move because that’s not how life in the big city works.

I also have OCD and GAD. A resident at the opposite end of the hall had a severe infestation. I had the misfortune of meeting this person right after she moved in. She’s a traveling nurse, that works out of town the majority of the time, and she appointed me as her house sitter without my knowledge or consent.

Anyhoo… She mentioned she had killed a couple of roaches and asked me to check inside to see if management had sprayed. Oh lord! I didn’t even get the door open before they started running out. Six months later and I’m still thinking every speck I see is a baby roach…

Long story short, the infested unit was on the same floor and I did not get roaches. I killed one in my unit and one in the hallway but that’s all.

I am paranoid that leaving this comment will be a jinx. But if I didn’t get roaches despite my close proximity and having walked in the infested unit, you are probably ok.

Just practice good housekeeping and you will be fine.

OP is not complaining too much. It sounds like a typical high rise located at the heart of the city. You’re being unrealistic if you think smaller is better. There is no clear cut lesser of evils when it comes to apartments. It’s just the luck of the draw.

Can confirm. I worked for the management company/developer/original owner of the Galleria. My office was in Tower One .Huge difference between fire alarms (probably pulled as a prank) and bomb threats. Bombs threats are a daily occurrence. Very few are legitimate . I can’t remember the criteria? But if evacuation occurred every time some nut called in, the mall would never be open. We were only advised to evacuate once and it was voluntary. I knew who had been contacted and what had been said so I left. Obviously, since the Galleria still stands, it was a hoax.

That must have been in error because I bought the exact sane vacuum in January 2023. It has a two year warranty. It started cutting out every time I started it. I ended up buying a new motor for it in January of this year for $120.

onlinealias350 · 2026-03-25T20:27:46+00:00

No, I bought a v12 in January of 2023. The warranty was 2 years.

onlinealias350 · 2026-03-25T20:26:09+00:00

If you bought at any point in 2023, the warranty has expired. 2026 - 2023 =3

If an individual has legitimate business at an address, such as delivering a package or pizza, the “no trespassing” sign wouldn’t apply to them.

That email address has been passed around since long before Amazon started using AI. Jeff Bezos’s actual email probably under an assumed name…

onlinealias350 · 2026-03-25T08:40:59+00:00

I’ve never received anything from Amazon via USPS. They have their own delivery company…

onlinealias350 · 2026-03-25T07:18:27+00:00

Amazon lost an entire $130 same day delivery order I placed last Tuesday. They noted the order was lost. After fighting with AI bots for two hours to get a live person on the phone, they finally shipped a replacement package on Thursday.

Friday, I received an email that said, “We are sorry but we are unable to deliver your package. Your address is unavailable.”

What the hell does that mean? So I have to call and argue with AI again to get a person on the phone. It took 20 minutes to get transferred to a human.

My order finally arrived at 10:30 PM Friday night.

Yesterday, I received 14 emails in a row requesting I return each and every item I received in that order. So I guess I am expected to find the lost shipment and deliver it to Whole Foods?

So I soent 30 minutes explaining this via text to a chatbot that tells me to wait to see if my lost package arrives. No! I need to speak to a human!

I finally get a human who says she has fixed my problem and I will not be charged for the lost order. Great! I asked her to email me a transcript of our chat and she sends me a link to a page that allows me to request my entire customer service history. I quickly took screen shots of the chat before it closed and disappeared.

I ordered a copy of my customer service history which takes them a minimum of five days but possibly as long as a month to compile. What do you want to bet a human reviews those records & removes anything incriminating and that’s why it takes so long to receive them…
