Grateful to Have Resolved Problems AI Challenges

By
Real Estate Agent with HomeStarr Realty RS143922A

Sometimes, when everything goes smoothly, something odd happens. I was cooking soup when I heard a poof noise and looked and saw a spark in the microwave. I quickly unplugged it. The smell was awful—you understand that burned electrical smell. The fan over the stove was turned on, and my hands shook.  I  had to finish making my soup. 

I am so grateful I was home and in the kitchen, as I wonder if the whole kitchen and place would have burned down if I had not been home. I was not using the microwave; it just went up. It was not old, either, and it was still under warranty. I called because I still had the booklet in the drawer.

A few days later, even with great anti-virus, my computer was hacked. I called the computer doctor and unplugged it. He had it for a few days, and I was working on an old laptop, but it was not going well.  Some of you know my Instagram disappeared.  Then, there were credit issues worse. I almost lost my Gmail account—hours, days, and weeks of trying to fix these issues.  

In today's world, we use AI more than we realize. When things do not go right, it takes patience to get everything up and running again. I am grateful that I paid for Google support, as it was helpful, especially when you can not sign into your account and have to restore it.  

I am thankful that all these issues hopefully have been solved and that there are people to turn to in time of need.  

Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone

Endre Barath, Jr. Not yet was waiting for the refund check as I was afraid they were sending a new one and did not want two microwaves

Hannah Williams - That was scary! What a strange thing to happen, especially when you weren't using the microwave. I had a spark from my microwave many years ago, here in Texas. But I knew what I did wrong. I used a plate or a bowl with a gold trim which caused it to spark. But yours wasnt operating! That is spooky! I am glad you didn't have a kitchen fire. I am thankful you are okay.

What a difficult time you had because of the hack. WOW! Trying to rectify the problem is very time consuming and stressful. You handled it well and I'm glad the problem was resolved. 

Sometimes, we just never know the why it happened. All we can do is be glad when the crisis is over.

Happy Thanksgiving. I am glad you're okay.

Hello Hannah - technology issues of many kinds are not fun and can be quite frustrating.  Hopefully these things from the past that have been unfixable can be resolved.  May your Thanksgiving Day festivities take a fabulous turn for better times.

Yes, indeed, and right in time for Turkey Day, my favorite Holiday! I prepared three different cranberry sauces and bread stuffings; today, candied carrots are next. Patience, I am finding, is a virtue, and I am grateful to be alive. 

Happy Thanksgiving Michael

Well, goodness gracious, Hannah, when it rains, it pours, doesn't it?! I'm so glad your guy got things resolved for you! Lucky you too, that you didn't have a fire. I'm so glad you're okay.

Thank you for participating in November's gratitude challenge - loved your posts!

Debe Maxwell, CRS I asked Alexa to set a timer, and the internet was down. I thought it may have been the area, but my neighbor upstairs had no problems; it seems an unplugged and restart solved the issue with the modem. Perhaps the attacks are not over.  :(

Thank you for all you do in making Active Rain a wonderful place

Hi Hannah:

That episode with your microwave was pretty scary given you were not using it! And what a pain with your computer. We rely on them so much and it's a major hassle when things go wrong with the technology.
