HOW TO STOP ALEXA ASKING YOU TO RATE PURCHASES

While you’re here, if you’ve been getting annoyed by Alexa’s pestering you to rate that cheese grater you bought two months ago (this happened to me at 9:30PM when I asked Alexa to read my Audible book), there is a quick fix.

Scroll a bit further down on the same Shopping Notifications page and toggle off “Request to rate products you’ve purchased.”

You can also stop Alexa from announcing the latest deal on the laundry detergent you usually purchase by toggling off “Recommendations and Deals.”

There are other options in here you might want to check out if you often find your Alexa speaker flashing yellow like it’s trying to get your attention (which it is).

If you use Amazon’s Subscribe & Save program Alexa can audibly notify you if an item in your upcoming delivery is out of stock, among other things. You can toggle this option on or off under Order Updates, this will affect announcements about any order updates.

You can use this screen to stop Alexa from randomly offering up “personalized recommendations and deals” on your speakers, as well as turn off voice-assistant updates about your Audible account (such as if you have a new credit).

Further down that same Amazon Shopping page are more options for asking the voice assistant to stay quiet.

INTRODUCTION TO NETWORK SIMULATOR 2

  INTRODUCTION  Network Simulator Version 2, widely known as NS2, is an event driven simulation tool that is useful in studying the dynamic nature of communication networks. Simulation of wired as well as wireless network functions and protocols (e.g., routing algorithms, TCP, UDP) can be done using NS2. In general, NS2 provides users with a way of specifying such network protocols and simulating their corresponding behaviors. Due to its flexibility and modular nature, NS2 has gained constant popularity in the networking research community since its birth in 1989. Ever since, several revolutions and revisions have marked the growing maturity of the tool, thanks to substantial contributions from the players in the field. Among these are the University of California and Cornell University who developed the REAL network simulator,1 the foundation which NS is based on.
