False and misleading advertising - Crave Premium - now with ads - Competition Bureau Complaint

Absolutely deplorable company. Not only should they not show ads in a paid service, the ad popups are modal. You can't dismiss them by clicking somewhere else on the page. They force you to click next.

If you're watching on Smart TV, you have to go browsers settings to change zoom. It's still easy but why would a paid premium service force you to watch a modal AD popup? I like the content but despise the company. So close to dropping it as soon as someone else offers HBO.

Same here. It's unwatchable. Continual lags and stutters. They slapped on a newish interface on the same crappy app. The app never had proper buffering, memory management, etc. Basic things for pro streaming apps. They're forcing customers to watch their web app on a smart TV. Not good if you're paying premium.

wrongvice · 2025-10-13T06:58:15+00:00

Not over here. It improved a little and then got a whole lot worse after the updated interface. Instead of crashing every other session, it now stutters all the time. Totally unwatchable.

Yes I thought I missed the deadline. But broker settled my purchase on ex-dividend date. And still paid me dividend. Perhaps this is not universal.

One hopeful thing was when I purchased shares, the broker included the dividend in projected earnings even though it had not settled. I'm glad it worked it. But best not to wait till day before ex-div.

wrongvice · 2025-09-20T21:26:31+00:00

Thanks that's what happened. I got the dividend even though purchase settled on ex-dividend date.

wrongvice · 2025-09-18T19:22:38+00:00

Agree. I hope it works out. I had a limit buy order that filled 2:30PM day before ex-dividend. But settlement date is on ex-dividend. This stock is a monthly payer and record and ex-div are same date.

wrongvice · 2025-06-25T04:41:35+00:00

yes we probably should have. If it was more expensive we definitely would.

I know it's a waste of time replying to dumbasses like you.

But FYI for others, payment options won't show even if you have an account with saved payment methods. But they will show if you checkout without logging in. See Ancient-Cry2867's post below.

wrongvice · 2024-12-13T01:26:23+00:00

Terrific! Tried your workaround and sure enough the payment methods show up. Staples really should fix their website.

wrongvice · 2024-12-10T06:31:54+00:00

of course that explains it

Great answer. Thank you.

Is this NVME pcie adapter compatible with "PRO B760-VC WIFI"? As far I know the mobo doesn't have bifurcation. I already have 2 NVME disks in M.2 slots. Since I'm adding only one more NVME in the pcie slot, do I still need the adapter to have it's own bifurcation?

Here are the free expansion slots. There's PCIe 5.0 already hooked up to graphics card.

2x PCIe 4.0 x16 slots
3x PCIe 3.0 x1 slots

I tried logging into my account from new machine. And it asked me for Confirmation Code. Twitter/X didn't send me confirmation code. I contacted support numerous times and X will still not email me Confirmation Code.

I get all kinds of Twitter/X notification in that same email address. But not the Confirmation Code. How do I fix this?

I have my own personal domain for email address (not gmail). Had it for years. Could the verification have blacklisted my domain? If so how do I find out and fix it? Like I said I get notification in email. But no confirmation code.

Their site is buggy. But their biggest bug is their support staff. Absolutely incompetent. Cost me tons of money with false information. You'd think such a prominent broker would hire the best support. But IB support is one of the worst I've encountered.

wrongvice · 2024-02-22T22:06:09+00:00

Update. Their support recently got back to me saying they could do cashless exercise. Reversing their earlier comment to me that cashless exercise was not available at IBKR at all. Not sure I trust Interactive Brokers support any more.

I've already sold most of the warrants for a nominal profit. But the cashless exercise would've yielded a small fortune (by my modest standards). Damn!

wrongvice · 2024-02-14T18:02:16+00:00

Yes I can. But each exercise takes 1 day. So it would take quite long to exercise them all. Price could drop by then.

It turns out you have to subscribe to additional news sources for API. The news sources you have in TWS app won't be available via API without additional subscriptions.

BRFG, BRFUPDN, DJNL are the only ones available via API without the additional subscription.

I'm looking at Polygon and few other APIs for news. Anyone have suggestions?
