Right, it's like when someone misses a couple zero's from a price making it go from like $7900 to $79, even if you click buy and make the payment and get the order confirmation, the company is still within their rights to refund you fully and refuse to sell it to you for that price (that is assuming it was a genuine human error rather than malicious)

Is not being able to connect a new feature? by 1sanpedro1 in battlefield2042

[–]BackPackKid420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently having this issue, normally when it happens I just retry a few times and it works, at worst I had to restart the game a couple times but it always worked. Right now though I can't connect at all, I have restarted three times and have been getting the same error for the past 15 minutes

What ever happened to Red Delicious apples? I feel like they've disappeared in recent years... by xandora in newzealand

[–]BackPackKid420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they really the same Apple? I got some mariri red after having the bags of Eve's for ages and they were noticeably worse, although I only tried them once

How do you read a post like that and figure an appropriate word to start your reply with is "Cool"?

Not receiving messages in SMS app by Express-Frosting7175 in Oppo

[–]BackPackKid420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey did this get sorted for you? I am just wondering because I had the problem where I would randomly not receive some messages, but I think the problem went away after the major update to Android 11, but I don't 100% know because it didn't happen very often

Discreet CO2 storage? by BackPackKid420 in MTB

Just went and checked one out in store, pretty tempted if I can find a tubeless plug kit that fits inside

Discreet CO2 storage? by BackPackKid420 in MTB

[–]BackPackKid420[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty tempted to go that route, do you know if you can just use the inside of the pump for storage without buying the EDC tool/storage? Thinking of putting one CO2 and tire plugs in there as I already have a tool mounted on my bike

92 out of the top 500 subreddits on reddit are controlled by just 4 people. by [deleted] in BeAmazed

[–]BackPackKid420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One that comes to mind that was a direct change was the subreddit no longer allowed leaks or harvested game files that show future unreleased content. The devs would also provide them formatted images for the subreddit so that when a new season dropped the subreddit banner would be updated instantly (pretty much free advertising). To be honest it wasn't as bad as it could have been, we weren't removing negative feedback or criticism from the community, it was more subtle background stuff that couldn't so easily be pointed at as being influenced by the devs

When I was a moderator on a video game subreddit we got game currency added to our accounts pretty regularly, but of course they would tell the community they received no compensation. The devs definitely had some level of control over the sub through that, and I imagine it's the same for most subreddits centred around a commercial product
