October Woot Twitch Stream

Thank you all for the fun at the Twitch stream today. I liked the interactive bit with almost winning Murder Trivia! (RedPandaNami). I hope to see more streams coming up through November and December. I think it would be fun if each one had a new theme in prizes. Maybe a household one, gaming one, shirt one, and such. There have been a lot of earbuds, lol.

Thanks again!

I thought ‘Twitch’ was something you made up.

Is Facebook & Twitter not in fashion?

All the kids seem to watch it all day while they work. Don’t get it myself. But I will play games and offer cool deals while goofing off and talking at people if folks like it. :smiley:

Since I missed it, can you stand in front of a camera and play games for me for a hour or two? I’ll send you some cereal for your cereal bar.

pfft.

Yeah, I missed it. Thought it was today, but then I was two days behind in the announcement of the change to the forums.

Ha! Just got a cancellation email for my Sonos order. I didn’t even think I made it that far in the checkout process.

I got some good deals from the twitch stream today. Finally gonna see what this instant pot fuss is about.

pfft

@ThunderThighs Hey! Happy Monday! I just wanted to give you a heads up. I received my thinking putty order today but it was the mini .47 ounce size instead of the listed 3.2 ounce size. I didn’t know if I was the only one or if there will be more. I sent an email in to customer service already and I’m sure they will take care of it but thought it couldn’t hurt to give you a quick note about it too in case there were tons of them sold. :slight_smile:

Just got mine today. It was tiny at 0.47oz. what a rip-off.

Got the Lenovo Thinkpad yoga today. Seems like it has issues…very slow.
It has a 500GB HD ( not 320GB)
it is Windows 10 Pro Education edition ( not regular Windows Pro)
touchscreen isn’t working ( need to try some things to fix)
… still more things to check/test, but pretty disappointed so far. This was supposed to be for my mum for Xmas.

Mine was the smaller size, too. I wrote to customer service and they refunded my money.

Yep. They’ve already sorted me out with that item.

Yeah, I broke down and emailed support on this one. To many random errors, it’s slow with laggy responses and becomes unresponsive all the time. Never had such trouble with a fresh Windows install. I didn’t expect it to be crazy fast, but this is unusable. It passed hardware tests and I tried resetting windows and updating drivers from Lenovo. I managed to get the touchscreen to be recognized, but it’s too slow to be useful. I hate not being able to fix things. Since it is Windows 10 Professional Education, I wonder if the previous owner put some controls on there that are preventing me from fully wiping it out…When I tried to reset Windows, it told me it was unable to clear all personal data. Really odd.
I’m glad I didn’t just wrap it up for my mom without trying it. She would have been utterly frustrated and thinking she was doing something wrong.

Sorry! We pull items from Amazon overstock and we’re at the mercy of their sucky features/specs. Blargh.

Please use the Woot Customer Service form for assistance. They’ll help you out because they rock.

Forgot to mention the microphone didn’t work correctly. I would try to set it up and I could see the little sound level bar moving when I spoke, but Cortana would claim she couldn’t hear me. My guess is it was just so slow it couldn’t process what was saying quick enough to respond.
