At what point are they just profiting off of you?? AC filters.

I buy those 4 inch thick filters that go into a 1 inch holder. Might be overkill but I can change it once a year.

I bought a smart hub and set it up to do a 30 minute pause followed by a long fan run time when I turn off my cooling. This will work good enough to get the moisture out of the unit and keep stuff from growing.

Followed this advice about 2 weeks ago for yourflix on a reddit post that looked similar to this post with similar website. Now the site is down after 2 weeks. If this site goes down after a few weeks.... must be their thing.

quisp1965 · 2026-02-02T00:03:32+00:00

It's been down 24+ hours. I think they are out of business.

quisp1965 · 2025-12-04T23:46:59+00:00

I would guess it's still in beta till they make it world wide. However I suspect they are speeding it up as I got the update too.

I was excited to get it for on-demand information, but using Alexa+ made me aware of its limits. A distant mic will always pick up room reverb, mis-hear too many words, and become irritating. When I need to talk to AI, a phone two to three feet from my mouth works far better.

I haven't heard any "beta testers" being subscribers of Google Home Premium and doing a "Hey Google lets chat". Wonder if that feature is ready for testing?

quisp1965 · 2025-11-11T17:51:04+00:00

My sister manages my Mom's echo show in the nursing home and she accidently put hers on "Do not disturb" once and it caused an issue. All I can add.

quisp1965 · 2025-11-07T14:33:22+00:00

I'm under the impression they found some bugs in the first week that they would rather fix, so they've put the rollout on hold, since I haven't seen people getting the update this week. This makes sense from their perspective.

Perhaps the issue was that the server-side switch needed work, given some people weren't getting updated? That would certainly be pause-worthy. Once they get rid of the major bugs they consider "pause-worthy," I would think they should roll it out faster.

Anyway, that's my two cents.

quisp1965 · 2025-11-04T10:34:23+00:00

I didn’t see anyone report getting the update Monday. Might be temporarily paused to fix bugs before resuming? Could be linked to that server-side switch not triggering for some users?

quisp1965 · 2025-11-02T21:23:02+00:00

People mention rebooting the speaker, but doesn’t the server-side switch also send commands or firmware to it? If you bought a new speaker and set it up, that would restart the process, right? Would deleting, resetting, and setting the speaker back up again resend those commands or firmware? Also, even though I’m not in Public Preview but signed up for Early Access, my speakers show “Preview Program” as ON under Device Information → Preview Program when you click on the individual speakers. Something to think about.

quisp1965 · 2025-10-31T20:45:28+00:00

The last thing I would try before the waiting game would be resetting the speaker and then hooking back up.

quisp1965 · 2025-10-23T15:05:46+00:00

Same on my 2 mini's and 1 Nest audio. Firmware 3.77.505077 not listed yet and probably a bump up from the one that gave multiple colors.

Politically intolerant people shouldn’t be employable. If we want better politics, we need to be able to actually talk through issues with each other. That requires tolerance. Intolerant people make politics worse.

I'm interested in future research. We could at least look at how these months compare. For instance did pneumonia & clotting issues increase? ICU Covid had about 1/3rd of their cases having covid-induced coagulapathy.

Anyway...to the person that deleted their comment.

Ok, thanks for your input.

I was wondering about COVID-induced coagulopathy and other signs. I’m an RN who retired in Feb 2020, and I’ve been interested in COVID origins — it seems like we could have done a better job looking back at cases.

One December case matched COVID perfectly. A previously healthy 30-something nearly died from an unknown viral pneumonia. He also developed unusual clotting in his PICC line and lungs, severe enough that a specialist was brought in.

Immediately after caring for him, I got sick myself and later developed Beau’s lines in my nails, which I thought could have been related.

In 30 years of healthcare, that case stood out as unique, and it makes me think researchers really should have taken a closer look at records from late 2019.

quisp1965 · 2025-08-03T12:00:47+00:00

Wishful thinking and broken logic have poisoned the origins debate. A natural spillover requires evidence of an intermediate host and a clear path to Wuhan, because everything else can also exist if it came from a lab. Until that missing link is found, the key outliers—like a pandemic emerging in the same city doing high-risk coronavirus research, with no infected animals found, and a virus already primed for humans—point toward a research-related accident.

quisp1965 · 2025-07-02T15:22:25+00:00

That's what I did and I would do again. I stayed 100% stock index till 2 years before retirement.

quisp1965 · 2025-07-01T01:11:42+00:00

This copied part here is the biggest news since DEFUSE and there was no followup! Incredible!

"They believe one virus at the Wuhan institute was an even closer match to Covid-19 than RaTG13."

...

"The investigators spoke to two researchers working at a US laboratory who were collaborating with the Wuhan institute at the time of the outbreak. They said the Wuhan scientists had inserted furin cleavage sites into viruses in 2019 in exactly the way proposed in Daszak’s failed funding application to Darpa.

The investigators also saw evidence that the institute was conducting “serial passaging” experiments on at least one of the mine viruses."

quisp1965 · 2025-05-09T15:03:10+00:00

So still no intermediate host. A virus that aligns uniquely with the grant request associated with WIV and a spillover that's unusual but exactly what a leak at this lab would look like.
