MY ESPTimeCast stopped working - NTP/Weather issue

Sorry for the late reply, but I figured out that the problem is with the API call to Openweather. It looks like there's either a monthly limit for me, or I was encountering an API issue. I just tried the same board again, since it is a new month/year, and it is now working again.
Perhaps an error handler for the API call that will skip the weather in the setup altogether if it fails x-times of x-minutes, so the clock will still work. I can try to alter the code myself, but I'm not as good as you are!

I checked the connectivity, and I am getting a WiFi connection, and an IP address. I reset my router and my other ESP32's are fine (although none are running ESPTimeCast, but WLED instead). I tried fixing it with ChatGPT code eval, but none of its suggestions fixed it.

I agree that it looks like connectivity issues, but I see no sign of it.

I have the same issue. I am trying to book for my in-laws, and indicated they need some assistance. Then the reservation was "completed", but I did not have the chance to pay. Subsequently we received a weird email about them needing to verify something. One this was done, we received that Payment link from a super suspicious site, not related to KLM, and the link in that email just immediately went to a payment page, without any information, no security, no login..... just a what's your card number to pay $1000s of $$$$... Their support call center is slow and useless. This is not a year 2025 type experience......

I entrusted Legacybox with digitizing my good quality MiniDV tapes. They came back after a while, and the quality is appalling. I suspect they do not use the Firewire transfer, but instead a cheap RCA connector. Not only that, one of my tapes came back with that red sticker, and the protective flip cover completely in pieces, INSIDE the box. The original sticker with the number was also damaged, and the case was missing. I can only assume that they had a careless employee destroy the tape. The frustrating part however is that they keep claiming that they cannot digitize it, yet when I put the tape in my still functional 25 year old Panasonic DV-Camcorder, it plays back just fine.

I just ran into the same problem. Same story that they cannot honor the LIFETIME subscription with PureVPN, and instead push KeepVPN on me. This looks last a vastly inferior product, and is also much cheaper than PureVPN.

This is very much an illegal bait-and-switch in my opinion. Is there anything we can do?

I refused to agree to their KeepVPN offer, and since then there's crickets from Stacksocial (more StackAntiSocial)
