The Retirement Thread

It's not actually human with a brain
Only had it a few hours but it seems to work fine up to now.

Sky Glass "works" like that. Always listening, and has replied with those words when I've been asked to try it.

I've got Sky Stream. It's just a tiny little puck and seems to work well. The remote also has a button to hold and speak.

I'm sure the picture quality and sound is better than the ancient Sky box I had.

I honestly said the same ie I am sure the picture is clearer/sharper.
Sound......I have a sound bar which is playing up so jury is out on that.

The grandkids family have Skt Stream - they have disabled the voice activation as it was too annoying

get reacting to things the kids said
and not reacting when people wanted it to

Easier to use the remote

Exactly the point I was making.....it doesn't do anything unless you press the button and keep it pressed while issuing the command. So far so good for me.

 

[Tenkaykev]

Yes, otherwise it would react to all voices. It's simple, press one button, give the command and it's done.

Good job it's not HAL otherwise it might reply " I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that "

If I could configure the error message then that is the one it would say

Cars cleaned. Quick Forest Gump, then lunch, then music practice. Then snooze, then off to Lidl this evening.

Nice to read about car cleaning, lunch, music practice, snooze and Lidl visit..........could do without the info about your Forest Gump

 

[Drago]

could do without the info about your Forest Gump

It was a Class II drain blocker.

Well we have the smallest grand kid here
arrived with is Dad at about 9 and has been playing happily all morning

did have an episode where he decided that eating lunch was not important and he could go over and play with cars - and ignore me calling him back
That didn;t go well
nor did the crying about it after
after less than a minute he remembered that it was us and not Mum and Dad or Nan and that such things don;t work here
so after than he abandoned the noise and finaihed his lunch and was allowed to go back to his cars

now we have to take him to the kitchen and bathroom shop so we can book a date for the kitchen to be done and then take him home

wonder what we will leave behind this - there is always something we don;t notice!

Chicken curry with rice today

 

[numbnuts]

e-low - electronic hello
No results from my biopsy and I don't suppose the path lab work the weekends.
Fish cake and mushy peas for lunch, I passed on the chips.
Oh and it's raining again.
see you again soon

 

[postman]

I even get embarrassed answering the door in my PJs.

You have a door in your PJ's i won't ask.
