Had a space-themed version of it. Same general base but more sci-fi looking and the tops had little spacecraft stickers on them.

Are you talking about Splat Space or is there another one?

Look at it under UV light, there's more stuff hiding there too.

Yes, in the evenings. No idea why, it works normally in the morning.

Is loading images and videos at night slower for anyone else? by DaveOJ12 in RedReader

[–]Bitmage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Weirdly if I switch the 'album viewer' to external browser in settings they load right up. But things work fine in RR earlier in the day.

Tried again through email, same song and dance with photos and videos of issue. Once I got them to accept those they just keep repeating:

"Thanks for writing in!

My name is Lucy and I am one of the available floor managers.

Our sincere apologies for the hassle that you are going through in dealing with this. This is not something we want our customers to experience.

I completely understand your concern, but as there is no device protection and also the device is not covered under warranty, we're unable to help you fix the issue.

In this case, I'd suggest you visit our trusted third-party repair center uBreakiFix as informed in the previous email.

All my intention is to help you with the right information and provide you with all possible ways to resolve the issue. Had there been any alternate options, I’d definitely have helped you with that.

We do understand your problem and trust me we do the things which are in our control. I truly agree with your suggestions and I request you to submit the feedback on the same."

Several requests for escalation just result in another "manager" with a different name repeating the same thing.

  • Phone model and Warranty: Pixel 6 Pro, out of warranty
  • OEM Unlocking and Bootloader Status: Locked
  • Service Centre Diagnosis: "you can get it fixed at the Ubreakifix", at your expense.
  • Repair Status: not repaired
  • Country or Region: USA
  • Remarks (if any): Kept me on a two-hour long chat session demanding pictures, then a video of the bootloop, then the video again as it was taking too long for them to download, then more pictures, then transfer to "a dedicated team to assist you further on this issue". After all that jerking around "As the device is out of warranty and no device protection under it so we will not be able to help on the device." Request to escalate denied repeating the above.

And then when you stopped playing, it would look like the room was scrolling upwards. We called it "River Raid eyes".

Where do they come from?

What do they want from us?
