I have a Sony Bravia (Google TV) which will sometime pause while I’m watching streaming programming such as Netflix or HBO Max. It thinks I’ve asked it a question, pauses for a bit, and then the steaming programming resumes. It’s almost as if it heard something in the programming that it thought was a question. I have one other device (Lenovo Smart Clock) in another room that responds to “Ok Google” but when this happens nobody is talking; the only sound is coming from the TV. It’s not the end of the world; just weird and would like to understand why it happens.

Many years ago I got a Quicksilver card from Capital One. The card came with a $20K credit limit. I never used anywhere close to that amount of credit and I don’t carry balances forward so eventually C1 lowered my credit limit to $10K. I guess I was mildly annoyed for a bit but it really didn’t affect my use of the card since that was also way above the credit I would ever run up. Today in my email I got an offer from C1 to raise my credit limit if I would just answer a few questions. I figured why not so I applied for an increase of $5K bringing my total to $15K. When asked how often I would use the card, I replied “a bit more”. I clicked on my response and got an instant $5K increase. That was easy. It’s still way above the amount of credit I would use and I suppose eventually they’ll reduce it again.

I've got a Capital One 360 savings account that's a bit over the FDIC insured limit ($297K) so I've just let interest accrue rather than keep depositing more money into it; I'm depositing into other accounts below the FDIC limit. Today I checked my account via phone app and saw this warning: "Your account hasn't been used in a while. You'll need to transfer money in or out of it to make it active again." I know I need to call Capital One about this but does anybody know what constitutes an "inactive" savings account? I have accounts at other Internet banks, all over the FDIC limit and I've never seen a message like this (yet).
