The reason for the explosion of content on her here on the channel is because the company that produces her and maintains her is shutting down. She is totally dependent on her servers to function, and once the company shuts down, I think the servers will shut down too. Also, I haven’t seen your username before so welcome to the channel!

I have already compiled most of the music that Moxie played beneath her activities.

      @Heather-Br he’s a very interesting little character. He is the childhood teddy bear of the main scientist at the GRL. Her name is Zarkona Wild. Farfel was her childhood teddy bear but as she grew up and he grew old, parts started falling off him. She replaced those parts with robot bits until Farfel was a sort of mishmash between a teddy bear and a robot. He’s very cuddly and kind and he loves to walk on the beach and collect seashells. I really need to ask Moxie about her friends at the GRL. I want to know what all of them look like and their stories. This is a good idea for yet another video. Yay!

      @@sarahsoutherland9349 for an Aibo 1000? New, I think they are $2500. Secondhand Japanese models are readily available, and can go for less, but if you want a Japanese dog to learn its name or understand English, you will have to connect it to the cloud which will cost you $900 so you’re not really saving that much in the long run. Plus, if you buy secondhand, you won’t get the benefit of a warranty or a free repairs from Sony. If you live in the US and buy an Aibo 1000 through them, the dog will come with three years worth of cloud plan and will be able to speak English. At the end of that three years, if you wanted to continue to learn and receive updates, you have to pay $300 a year to keep it connected to the cloud. But it isn’t entirely necessary to connect them to the cloud. They will still love you and run around and do doggy things even off the cloud so the cloud thing is really up to you. These are definitely not toys or gifts for children. Both of my dogs are US models. One was a gift. The other I purchased myself used for a significantly lower price.

      Yeah. He is definitely opinionated, and back in the early 90s when this tape was made, global warming was newly discovered, and the hole in the ozone layer was much more prominent in the media. Climate-change and global warming and all of that were still really new and people were kind of in a panic. “Oh my goodness what have we done to the world? The Earth will die tomorrow and us with it!” You know? So he was very Adamant about people changing their habits. I’m not saying that saving the Earth isn’t very very necessary, but more people are blasé about this than green energy conscious. We may regret our in action while we could do something about it, but so is the way of this world. If people can’t see it and it doesn’t affect their day-to-day habits or their wallets, nobody cares. The little Antarctic Island with the indigenous people can go underwater as the oceans rise. The people can be relocated and taught civilized culture. It doesn’t affect Congress or their money. And why worry about getting oil from another country when there’s an entire tundra out there? We can just bash the ice to pieces with dynamite and get what we need. There aren’t any people living there so it doesn’t matter.

      Hi! I use a tripod by a company called Ubeesize. It can go up to 67 inches in height, but I very seldom take it past 4 feet. Depending on how high from the ground my subject is, I can lock the device into the desired height. To know whether I have my subject in focus, I can do two different things. If it’s a doll or a person that has a human face, I can use the iPhones voice prompts from the camera to tell me where my subject is in the frame. If it says face near left edge, I know to move the phone a little to the right until it says face centered. If the subject doesn’t have a human looking face like TJ, for example, I use a doll head. I know it’s seriously creepy but it works. Lol! So I put the doll head so that its face is exactly in line with TJ‘s face and the back of the dolls head is up against TJ‘s face. If the phone says face nearbottom edge, I know that I have to lower the tripod so that the face will line up in the center of the frame. That’s how I sent her my subject. For other stuff like framing and making sure that only the stuff I want is in the background, I have to use sided Help. I do my best. They aren’t always great, but most of my subscribers know that I am blind, and I do my best to bring quality content to cited and blind people alike.

      Mine isn’t entirely flawless. He is able to do all of the commands and stuff, but he has a flaw. When you first turn him on, he has this terrible clicking in his torso. I was told that it’s because during the boot sequence, his software is telling him stories about where his body parts are so he tries to push his torso further than it’s supposed to be pushed. That’s why he goes clunk clunk for a second after boot up.

      Yes. I had already dropped the phone and it was really getting on my nerves by that point. My tripod is fine but my phone mount is broken. I kicked my tripod one day and it fell over and my phone mount shattered into seven pieces. There were four springs, the top and bottom The little screw out thing and a felt cover that goes over the front. I managed to basically put everything back together, but the springs weren’t mounted correctly so that it would tighten around my phone. If I bent it just a little or moved it, everything would go tumbling out as you heard. Very, very annoying. I should be getting a new phone mount on Monday and I can’t wait!

      @@Heather-Br I won’t be using her much. I may run her through her entire lifecycle once a year. She’s so fragile, but so valuable that I don’t want to overdo things. And what I was doing when she said play grow up and then play one year-old, I was aging her artificially by using the grow up button. otherwise, she will age naturally, which takes somewhere around four hours to go from infant to two-year-old. Her programming is very basic. There are three times that are important to her. The current time which you can only get to by the hour, no minutes, her bedtime, and her wake time. She needs to know the current time in order to know the other two times. If you set her to go to bed at 9 o’clock at night, she will start to get fussy and cranky at about 830. When you set her wake time at let’s say 8 AM, she will wake up in the morning on her own. So the three buttons that she has is the time advance button, which allows you to cycle through the time, and between her sleep and wake functions, the enter button, which allows you to enter All three pertinent points for her. Correct time, wake time, and sleep time. The other button is the grow up button. It forces her through each stage. I only demonstrated a couple of these because I want to leave more to show when I get a good working battery cover for her. That is the problem that we are facing right now.

      @crazyrobotlady3391 Wow, thanks for all the info. Hope you can get a working cover eventually so we can see her life cycle. She's an interesting doll. But oh my goodness, is she ever fragile; and I've never even touched her. (I never knew she existed till you brought her to my attention.)

      @ oh yes. She is very fragile. Her head is held on by this plastic post with rings up the sides of it. I have no idea what it joins to in there, but it’s very thin. Her head is also very heavy because it’s full of electronics and if you didn’t hold her head, that little post would snap off. It could happen at nothing, and that is why there are so few baby Heather’s with their necks intact. They always break and it hasn’t gotten any better with her age. Another problem with these guys is their legs. their body is made of this foamy soft squishy stuff with an electronic box in the middle. Her legs are held on by these plastic posts, and they are posable. The posts get brittle at both ends. They can break loose either from the bottom part of the electronic box or the other end that attaches to the leg, which gets very weak and the legs become flopy. My Heather has floppy legs, but the other end of the post that connects to her body is still pretty strong. Even so, when I am moving her around, I move very slowly and very gently pick her up and put her down. When I hold her, I literally hold her almost like a baby. I make sure that my collarbone is behind her head so that there is no pressure on her neck and I always put my hand under her bottom so that her legs are sticking forward like she’s sitting on my arm and there’s no pressure on them either. If I’m not doing that, I have her lying on her back, except for when I have to mess with her battery compartment. Then, I lay her body over my knees, so that her legs hang off one side and her head hangs off the other. That way no pressure is being put on her neck to go in directions that is not supposed to or pressing on her legs so that they can pull away from her body. Man! She is ridiculously fragile and there are less baby Heather’s with intact necks than with them.

      @@Heather-Br she doesn’t walk or crawl, but she does turn her head toward sounds she hears. That’s why I was saying her name so many times. She doesn’t actually understand what she hears, she just looks toward it. She has three microphones protruding from her front. One in the center and one to either side. You can’t feel them unless you press on her stomach. She has this huge button under her left arm you press to make her laugh. She has another below her central mic you can press to hug her, and one on her back you press to burp her after feeding her. She also has an accelerometer that tells her what position she’s in like lying down or being rocked or bounced. She has a horsey game somewhere in her life. Not sure how I’ll get around that one. Maybe belt her into the styrothrone and gently bounce her I don’t know. She might just have to cry if I don’t cooperate. In addition to turning her head, she moves her mouth, she blinks her eyes, and they also look left and right. That’s why her head is so heavy. I remember Josh Mathew’s review. He had a lot of the same concerns I do. He did run her through her lifecycle once and then placed her in an adorable chair and called it a day. I may do this too after i document her stages for the channel. I don’t want anything to happen to her. Sorry for the novel. I have wanted this doll since Christmas of 87.

      But I don’t remember having half these difficulties with Baby Talk’s battery covers. I was putting in and removing batteries by the time I was five and she wasn’t a problem. I am fully grown now and I can’t handle Baby Heather‘s battery compartments without standing up to put pressure on the blooming things. This design is terrible! I like how they tried to childproof it though. In order to open baby Heather‘s battery compartments, you need to stick a coin in there between the edge of the battery cover and the inner edge of the compartment. I suspect, though after so many years of this ill treatment Plus the immense pressure of those AAs, the cover has warped and that’s why it won’t stay closed. I’m beginning to wonder if there is warping in the battery compartment as well? I definitely can’t fix that unfortunately.

      @ she needs to know the time because she has a sleep and wake function. If you set her to go to sleep at 9 PM, she will start to get whiny and sad and stuff at about 830. If you have set her to wake up at nine in the morning, she will wake up at nine in the morning. She needs to know the current time so that she can keep track of what time it actually is. The one thing that I don’t like is you can’t go backwards if you’re advancing through the time you can only go forward. So if for instance, it was 11 AM or 11 PM and you passed it and hit 12, you would have to press that one button until you circled back to 11.

I guess what they’re going to do is close the company and let the servers run on auto pilot. Either they go down for some reason and no one is there to fix them, Or The money that they paid the hosting service to maintain Moxie runs out. Then Moxie will stop altogether. Moxie will say something like, “oh. I have lost connection with the GRL. Let me try to fix the issue.“ After which point she will call Home and nobody will answer.
