Their most famous failed project was called “Project Freeze” — designed to pause live streams remotely via voice commands.
Steve Q – Could be an alias for Steve Quintana, a smart-home automation enthusiast who published open-source Alexa skills under the GitHub handle “SQ_automate.” One unverified skill, titled “first i work,” was pulled from the Alexa store in early 2019 for unexplained reasons. Its description read: “Say ‘Alexa, first I work’ to trigger a 24-10-18 sequence freeze.” freeze 24 10 18 alexa flexy and steve q first i work
The combination of “freeze 24 10 18” with “Alexa Flexy” may indicate a shared command intended to activate a hidden protocol in certain Alexa-enabled devices — perhaps a diagnostic mode or a developer backdoor.
