OnePlus TV could come with Amazon Alexa support, Alexa Skill listing spotted online

OnePlus is gearing up to launch its OnePlus TV in India on September 26, which it keeps revealing in bits and pieces. While we do know some key features of the upcoming device, a new piece of information about it has now surfaced online. The OnePlus TV Alexa Skill is up on the Amazon India website, which suggests that the TV is most likely to support Amazon’s digital assistant. Given that OnePlus has always partnered with Amazon ever since it started selling its devices online in the country, this doesn’t really come as a surprise. 

The Amazon Alexa skill page of OnePlus TV also lists some of the commands that could be available for controlling the TV. One should be able to switch the device on and off, control its volume, mute and unmute it, change channels and change the input source using the Alexa Skill. Even though OnePlus TV’s Alexa Skill is listed online, it is not a complete affirmation that the TV will support the feature. There’s also a possibility that the option might be enabled post the device is launched. 

We already know a lot about the upcoming OnePlus TV since the company’s CEO Pete Lau has been revealing things about it ever since it was first announced. The OnePlus TV will feature a 55-inch QLED display panel and is confirmed to support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. It will come equipped with eight speakers that are said to handle 50W of power input and the device will run on Android OS and feature in-built Chromecast support. 

Recently, the OnePlus TV logo was spotted at the Amazon’s teaser page for its upcoming Great Indian Festival Sale. This listing suggests that the TV could be made available for purchase when ṭhe sale commences. The TV is also teased to feature a kevlar back finish and might sport a monitor like stand.

Newest Windows 10 update cripples network adapter on some PCs

It appears the recent torrent of Windows 10 updates from Microsoft is filled with bugs that are wreaking havoc on some users' hardware. The most recent Windows 10 update, KB4515384, is reportedly causing the network adapter on some PCs to fail, especially those running Build 18362.356 of the popular operating system. Microsoft has yet to acknowledge the issue and roll out a fix or workaround. According to a recent report by Neowin, the easiest solution for now is uninstalling the buggy update.

“After installing the latest update KB4515384, my Intel wireless network card and Intel lan card have [sic] stopped working. Device Manager reports a device error and cannot start it. Deinstalling KB4515384 solved the problem,” writes Windows 10 user Szkrabula on the Microsoft Community website. “KB4515384 broke my Intel NIC. It kept reporting 'disconnected'. I downloaded the Intel 24.0.0.11 drivers, and did a fresh install, but no luck...still disabled. I uninstalled the kb, and I'm back in business,” reports Redittor Bobo_Palermo.

According to Neowin, one complaint seen on Windows 10's Feedback Hub was, “KB4515384 breaks ethernet and wifi adapters on my PC. Appears to create new devices as they’re labelled ‘#2’ and when exposing hidden devices in Device Manager the previously named devices appear. Uninstalling these / new or old drivers do not fix the issues (i.e. “ethernet unplugged” which it is clearly not). Only option was to uninstall this update.”

Until Microsoft recognises and fixes the issue, it's evident that the easiest solution to this problem is uninstalling the update. Recently, Windows 10 Update KB4512941 caused Cortana to eat up system resources on some PCs. You can read more about that here. Last month, we reported that Update KB4505903 was handicapping Bluetooth connectivity on some PCs. Users who suffered from wireless audio playback issues were offered a workaround from Microsoft. You can read more about that here.
