Re: [all-audio] There's finally a microwave you can control with Alexa, and it just got its first discount
Hi. I have this oven and it's perfectly adequate for simple every day type of things like heating up a cup of coffee or making a quick hot pocket. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone that does any kind of serious microwave cooking however. I think the power is adequate for the size of .9 cubic feet.

Re: [all-audio] There's finally a microwave you can control with Alexa, and it just got its first discount
Well again, its down to choice and I don’t recommend products or say anything against them regardless of my personal view, if people want this sort of thing then its available and they should be encouraged to buy it regardless of what my personal view is on the subject. No, I myself wouldn’t buy one and nor do I need one but others might, its the same with a talking this or a talking that, everyone has different situations and that has to be paramount in everyone’s thinking when it comes to technology. > On 31 Aug 2018, at 12:56 am, Rick Alfaro wrote: > > Hi.

Re: [all-audio] A question about VLC 3?
Yep most certainly! I don't use all the features of VLC but here's what I have noticed. VLC is faster than it was, loads faster and isn't sluggish at all as it sometimes was in past versions. Now VLC has a better ability to handle multiple files. I have a playlist of over 2000 songs here - my favorites playlist - which VLC loads pretty much instantly, in the past VLC would become stuck for a minute or so before I could start navigating, make any adjustments to volume or other effects etc. -Original Message- From: all-audio@groups.io On Behalf Of Brian Olesen Sent: Friday, 31 August 2018 5:05 AM To: all-audio@groups.io Subject: Re: [all-audio] A question about VLC 3?

Re: [all-audio] A question about VLC 3?
Yes, definitely upgrade. It's fast and very responsive. There are certainly no accessibility degredations; in fact all the on-screen buttons seem to function properly, which wasn't always the case with JAWS previously, at least. The advanced preferences screen is still a bit tricky, but if you didn't really use that for much previously, you certainly won't have to worry about it now. -Original Message- From: all-audio@groups.io On Behalf Of Dane Trethowan Sent: August 30, 2018 2:58 PM To: all-audio@groups.io Subject: Re: [all-audio] A question about VLC 3?

[all-audio] Denon Introduces Heos Super Link
Hi! I've been talking about the Denon Heos products for some time, I bought a Denon AVRX-3400H surround-sound receiver in May and a Denon Heos 10 HS2 for the back room not long after that. I bought a Denon Heos 1 HS2 a month ago and I'll talk about that speaker in a separate eMail. I'm going to purchase some Denon Heos 3 HS2 speakers for extra channels for the AVRX-3400H receiver at some stage but one thing at a time. The Denon Heos Super Link is something that is really going to transform my audio systems throughout my home and I only found out about this excellent piece of kit around half an hour ago. https://www.audioholics.com/av-preamp-processor-reviews/denon-introduces-heo s-super-link -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.

Re: [all-audio] There's finally a microwave you can control with Alexa, and it just got its first discount
The reviews haven't been all glowing about this microwave either. You have to enter a password that is printed on the microwave door somewhere, and the data base for frozen products seems to be limited. From what I am able to ascertain, once you get the oven on the network, you have to wake up the thing every time you want to use it to connect it to your network by opening the oven door! As I think about that, I guess they want to make sure you have food in the cavity so you don't start an empty oven and burn it up. I am to understand too, that you have to still press the start button for the scan to function to start the oven and cook your food. Somebody will by it and answer all of our questions. I was hoping that it would fit over my shelf over the stove so I could junk my worn out Hamilton Beech oven that has seen better days!

When I hit the Yes button, then the file starts playing as it should. Any idea what makes VLC act like it's crashed and how I ccan fix that problem short of getting rid of VLC altogether? Thanks.
