Routines not running

I have an S20. I've made several Bixby routines that are supposed to unlock the phone when a the phone is connected to a specific WiFi network, or when I'm in my car connected to bluetooth. I don't want to have to constantly unlock my phone when I'm in my gym, or especially driving.

My frustration is that these routines only work 10% of the time, When they're not working, there's no way to activatethem . And there's no way to figure out why they don't work.

Telling Bixby to do run the routine does nothing. It takes me to the Routine screen.

Does anyone have any solutions?

Body Pump Chest Routines

I've been going to body pump classes for many years. Recent chest routines have had rounds of chest press followed by very short set of pushups. I think it's bad design for a routine to have to quickly put your barbell on the floor, rush around behind your bench to be told there's just 8 pushups. And then rush back around to grab your bar and resume chest presses. I get that it's designed to keep intensity, high HR etc., but I'd rather have the time necessary to do maybe 2 sets of 8 pushups, without the "Quick Transition!" rushing around.

Responding to 4883c letter

I just responded to a 4883C letter I received. The callback service called me and then had me on hold for 18 minutes. Why would they call back when they're not ready to help?

The most frustrating part is that they asked for ever bit of information one would need to steal a person's identity. Full legal nane, social, and full bank account information.

While I did verify that the phone number I called was legit, it was very stressful.

The IRS should find a way to verify information that does not require a person to disclose everthing needed to steal the taxpayer's identity. Alternatives are verifying specific line items on a return, or just the last 4 of the social or account number.

Turbo Tax's Effective Tax Rate

Each year I do my return with TT, it prepares a cover letter that summarizes my GI, AGI, tax payments, etc. It includes a sentence that says my "Effective Tax Rate is" and then lists some percentage.

I'm told this is supposed to be your tax obligation divided by your AGI. But when I do the math, it's not even close. My tax payment is anywhere from 25 - 29% of my AGI, but TT reports my Effective Tax Rate as always less than 20%.

Any idea why it's so off, or what they think Effective Tax Rate means?

I use Waze with my Android Auto in my car but I've noticed that I can no longer cancel routing. I hit the X on the the touch screen but it doesn't cancel service.

I know my car's touch screen works because starting navigation and confirming cars on the roadside, etc., all work but not cancelling.

Has anyone else experienced this?
