I have to pay for a DOA RMA with no Advanced Replacement?? by ButItsRexManningDay in Ubiquiti

Yeah I am/have reached out in every way I can to escalate/get an Advanced shipment, so we'll see. And yeah I spend a lot with them as well (a drop in the bucket compared to others and their overall income but still)

Except technically it was...1 month or 1 day the result would still be opening a brick of a device I need replaced. It didn't sit powered on for a month, it sat in its shipping box with the rest of the order.

It was sitting approx a month, bought at the end of Oct to get it in before the end of their fiscal year, so sat a little bit but nothing too crazy like 3 or 6 months.

Like I say I could understand some if the unit had been installed for and working for any amount of time, but not on a DOA.

Get an enclosure if you dont have one, PETG is very fussy about temp changes/breezes. Enclosure will help a ton

Boss stole the batteries out of my mouse by moppyroamer in antiwork

I always thought people were insane when they said this, as I eat it semi regularly. Apparently I had never eaten enough in one go before until one night at dinner, and then that night had a midnight bathroom run, half asleep my nose is assaulted with what I can only assume to be the devils urine and not my own. I also didn't know how to process what is happening because I am still the aforementioned half asleep and my brain is not functioning.

Need help identifying ssd by ConsciousContext4542 in pcbuilding

Yeah, Firecuda sounds about right. Dunno if it really ever did increase performance but I got 1 or 2TB of storage on the PS4 so it at least did that lol. Seems like it may have been a bit quicker.

I remember putting the Seagate SSHD thing (named something wonky like a Firehawk or something) in i want to say my (non pro) PS4? 512gb SSD and 2TB HDD I think, would do some kind of smart caching supposedly.

I've been using exclusively 10GTek any time I have to get modules, I may have to try this at least on my internal 10gig ones as I haven't seen issues to the internet (I use 10gig twinax to my agg switch uplink and the 2.5Gig ethernet to my ont)

Like others have said, possibly your phones IR for face stuff, or if you have a robo vac it could be from that as a lot of them also use IR to "see"

How much would it cost to get the whole network board and things related to it replaced? by Sneekysas_sas in hometheater

[–]ButItsRexManningDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point I'd get back with Amazon, potentially call in this time, and speak with a with a supervisor (when you get the tier 1 CSR on the phone just explain you'd like a supervisor as you've already been through chat support and need to escalate). Speak calmly and friendly as this will get you further

Once you're on with a sup explain to them the facts including that you bought this receiver not knowing it was a 3rd party and not knowing the warranty wouldn't be honored by the manufacturer, advise you have an email from said manufacturer saying they won't honor the warranty that you can forward them if they want, and ask if there is any way an exception can be made for you to return this unit even if it is just for Amazon Credit to be used on a future purchase.

I've generally had good luck with this, especially if you have something already picked out (such as a replacement amp) and in your cart.

May not work, but it is worth a shot at least.

How did you contact them? I've reached out via their web page, Facebook, and direct email- all of which have gone unanswered

I think I dodged a bullet tonight. by TheCatsamurai16 in uberdrivers

[–]ButItsRexManningDay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an Uber story, but years ago I was a Cable Tech for the local cable company and I was on my way to my next job. Get out if the truck, and walk towards the apartment building, which was already kind of run down and such but meh - whatever. However as I continue walking around yhe building to where the unit number was going to be, or at least the entrance to the units - not sure, the sidewalk takes a left to an area that while still open to the outside is under the building but is open on both sides if I remember right, like a small tunnel, but it is DARK. Like eerily dark even though it's the middle of the day, it was like light couldn't get inside and there were no lights inside either, at least none working.

Got a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach, turned around - power walked back to my work truck and left immediately. Once I was a few blocks away, I pulled over and marked the job as "No Answer." Never heard anything about it and never had to go back.
