I've been a fan of the series since I was a teenager. Currently listening to the audiobooks for the first time (I've read the series 3 times). side note: Patrick Tull is amazing.
I'm working on a local AI personal intelligence/assistant. I named it Maturin. The actual AI assistant is Killick. The wake word is "Killick there!"
I can't wait to train it to be surly and grumbling.
Anyways, I figured you folks would appreciate the naming.
I haven't been an AT&T customer in 20 years. Now they are reminding me why that is!
Our fiber went out this morning at 9am. Third outage since we got it installed. Normally that's not a huge deal - I kept spectrum for a month as a backup (we just got fiber in the hood). Problem is AT&T cut our cable line so I have no backup.
When calling AT&T, they wouldn't let me talk to anyone saying there was a known outage. I let that ride for a few hours but nobody around me had problems and it was almost past the ETA. When I finally got someone on the phone they said, "that outage has been fixed. Can you reboot your modem?" After an hour on the phone and multiple disconnections I finally get a tech coming tomorrow between 4PM and 8PM TOMORROW.
Im sure if I had been able to talk to someone first thing this morning I would have a much earlier appointment. It look literally 17 calls and 2 hours.
Anyone have any idea how to get on a cancellation/wait list? There are techs all over my street doing new installs all day long. Maybe go offer one $20 to check out my connection in the main box at the end of the street? Pretty sure something got bumped when they were hooking up somebody else.
Sorry for the long rant. I'm unbelievably frustrated!
