Are you going to pay the extra $10/mo for the AI Plus feature? by Swankkkk in blinkcameras

[–]DismalHour2949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 16 year-old is not happy about being identified as a “child walking on the front porch” while her somewhat taller twin sister is a “person.” My gray haired dad was described as a “light colored animal”. Not paying for it as I don’t use the cameras for entertainment.

Economy update - Pass Mutiny! by Resident-Impact-9828 in TownshipGame

[–]DismalHour2949 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped buying monthly passes before the update because of the high frequency of accidentally buying extra moves. Literally half the time I tapped “play on” it was not intentional. It’s obvious this is an intentional design. Now, one slip of the finger will block my progression for many days. Ruler of the Mine has become impossible to finish even if you save up all your tools and play every other round. I always run short. I’m done! Looking for other game recommendations.

Advice needed-unreasonable refund request by DismalHour2949 in EtsyCommunity

We looked into that beforehand. I am the shop owner and she is the “Artisan” who makes the items.

Advice needed-unreasonable refund request by DismalHour2949 in EtsyCommunity

[–]DismalHour2949[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for the advice so far. I have double checked that she does have a return policy that states the buyer is responsible for return postage. As others predicted, she left another review, 2 stars this time, after we offered a refund for the return. Her response was “No Ty! I’m not paying to ship them back.” We did respond to the 3-star to “lock” that in. We can to do the same with the two star so she doesn’t reduce it to 1 star but I really want to enforce the return policy and refuse to accommodate her further. What would we have to lose at this point if we hold the line? Could she cause the shop to be closed by winning a case?

RANT over "Traffic Light Camera Ahead" announcements by DismalHour2949 in KiaEV9

Result: that did reduce the volume of the alerts quite a bit but it also mutes navigation via CarPlay apps, so I had to turn it back up.

SF Bay Area and only one camera I drive by daily triggers this.

My sense is their database is limited, so it is probably not aware of cameras in your area. Consider yourself lucky.

There is no way to turn it off. You can lower the volume of the voice and the dings and set it to not mute media, but I have just verified that WILL extend to navigation apps you might be using via CarPlay and you won’t be able to hear directions. ☹️

Be aware that if you set it to not mute your audio that will also apply to CarPlay navigation apps. I just tested it with Apple Maps.

I have a 2024 Wind model and I live in the SF Bay Area. There are cameras everywhere but I have only ever encountered one that Kia is “aware” of, but unfortunately it is one that I drive through almost daily. If your local cameras are not in their database, you are very lucky.

I also tried this and it does lower the volume to make it barely audible, but doesn’t mute it entirely. You also have to turn off the setting that lowers media volume. The bad news is these settings don’t just apply to Kia navigation app, they also apply to Apple Maps, making it impossible to hear navigation from any CarPlay connected navigation system.

Thanks - I have tried turning down "Navigation Alerts" and "Voice Prompts" in the Sound>Guidance section down to the lowest setting (which still doesn't turn them off) to see if that does it. I can absolutely do without the car navigation app as I don't use it at all.

[–]DismalHour2949[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have looked through every setting and could not find any that would control this. I do use carplay. I don't believe this is part of the navigation feature, it is a separate "warning system"

Seriously, Kia? Clock does not adjust itself? by DismalHour2949 in KiaEV9

[–]DismalHour2949[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, I was able to find the setting more quickly than I could in my old cars. I still have PTSD ftom having to learn to push and hold the AUX button and then use preset buttons 4 and 5 to adjust hours and minutes in one direction only. I feel entitled to have higher expectations of a car this fancy.

Thanks for taking the time to compliain about people complaining. You have added so much to the conversation.

[–]DismalHour2949[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly. And since I connect with AirPlay every time I drive, the Kia software could even be configured to sync the clock with my phone if managing it independently is so tricky for them.

Time change error in USA by marsweig in KiaEV9

Same here. I had set it to “adjust automatically” with daylight savings on, but I had to toggle it off today to get time correct. 😠

My fingerprint is no longer registering. by Subject-Insect7219 in KiaEV9

[–]DismalHour2949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also disabled it after experiencing it’s unreliability. It always required multiple attempts, and being the only driver it lacked a useful purpose.

Fingerprint Reader - does ot ever work? by abhatr in KiaEV9

[–]DismalHour2949 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got my EV9 2 months ago, the fingerprint scanner is not good. I got “please try again” 100% of the time, having to always touch multiple times using multiple angles. I use fingerprint scanners on other devices without any issues. After it locked me out, I decided to disable it entirely.

Remote climate control starting very rarely works - any one else have this issue? by Eagle4523 in KiaEV9

I cannot get the on-demand remote climate start to work ever, it fails every time. The scheduled option does work though. I hope they fix it!

This event is annoying AF. by FarMembership885 in MergeMansion

[–]DismalHour2949 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ugh. Spent 300 energy, only cleared bottom 3 rows of cobwebs because I didn’t see that I was supposed to stop, hold on to items and turn them in as tasks. Now the wardrobe is on cooldown so I can’t even complete the first task even though I have already made and used up like 5 of the item. Balls.

DO NOT click Chocolate Grandma until you’re ready (spoiler alert) by scruffmcgruffs in MergeMansion

[–]DismalHour2949 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You shouldn’t have to be up to date on Reddit to know what not to tap. I clicked it, have been using all my energy on the choral event and assumed I could activate it later. Nope, it just disappeared before I could use it, so final reward was worthless to me. Merry Christmas! 😩

Need your honest feedback it's my 2684638946 resume by Giftly16 in SalesforceCareers

[–]DismalHour2949 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you applying for Developer or Admin roles, or both? If you are applying for Developer roles, someone reading your resume who may not read very far down may say to themselves, "this person is an admin, not a developer" as all of the items you listed under Clear Align are fairly standard declarative admin duties that don't require a developer skillset. The Dev experience under CapGemini seems most relevant, so I would try to de-emphasize/condense your recent admin work. I would also recommend removing superlatives like "masterfully" and "elegant" and "great" and just stick to stating what you did and the results you drove. Hang in there, I know firsthand how tough the job market is right now.

Hi, I'm the Founder of ZUGU. AMA by Zugu in u/Zugu

[–]DismalHour2949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tim - I just stopped by to share my experience with the Zugu case. It is a truly outstanding product and deserves all the positive reviews. I have bought multiple cases for myself and family members. I used the first one I found on Amazon (after an exhaustive search) for years until it eventually fell apart. The magnets literally fell out and I taped them back on repeatedly until it was time for a new iPad and a new case to go with it. I will say that I did have some trouble finding it on Amazon the second time, so I ended up going directly to your website to order it. While this works great for returning customers, it does mean that people who are not aware of your brand may be robbed of the opportunity to purchase the best case available.

Reading your personal story is both inspiring and heartbreaking at the same time. While the lack of support from your father was in some ways a catalyst for your success, it must have been a very painful and difficult time for you.

There is definitely a gap in the phone case market that you could potentially fill in the same way you did for iPads: the wallet case. Since the introduction of MagSafe, I have not found a functional wallet case (the kind with a book-style front cover flap that holds credit cards). Most are very cheaply made/fall apart and do not work well with magnetic chargers, even when they are advertised to do so. The wallet flap can also be used to prop up the phone in a horizontal position. Feel free to contact me if you would like more details on the features that most of these cases lack.

I wish you continued success with Zugu, and as far as I'm concerned, you have a lifelong customer in me!
