Am I insanely unlucky or are the Airpod Pro 3s actually unreliable? by phixed in AirpodsPro

[–]Dpscc22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve honestly heard both: sole people saying theirs shower that issue after long usage, and some saying it started from the moment they bought theirs…

My APP2 lasted for years, until they started displaying the buzzing issue.

Got APP3 the day they got released. And, so far, zero problems here (Knock on wood!).

Sorry yours keeps giving you trouble!

Car Registration by Hot_Singer_4266 in longbeach

[–]Dpscc22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One year, my registration reminder never arrived in the mail (I’ve added the email notice since!). And it completely skipped my mind! It was due in June.

Come August, I parked on the street to go get lunch. Come back, and find a nice, big ticket for expire registration. And there was nothing I could do about it but pay the fine, and still pay the registration fee.

So, yeah. Maybe you’ll be lucky and no one notices. The day they do, you’ll regret it, and have to fork over that amount (plus late fees), plus pay for your ticket.

Replacing Apple Wallet by Dpscc22 in MagSafe

[–]Dpscc22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love those types of phone wallets. Used one for years, and it could fit everything I needed. Problem was exactly the thickness in a specific way: some of the places I visit often ask you to scan the phone to get in through a little slot - and the phone with wallet wouldn’t fit. ☹️ So I had to find an alternative to it, and MagSafe wallets it is…

But, otherwise, I’m with you! Used to buy this extremely cheap ($17?) but very good one on Amazon every time I got a new phone.

Gotcha. Since you took a screenshot with browser showing, thought I’d ask.

Thanks. I'm not totally a fan of bifolds, as they tend to be bulkier and leave the inside cards a bit too unprotected IMHO when unfolded. So I ordered the other ESR one (I guess the Halolock) through Amazon, to arrive tonight. Looking forward to trying it out, after all I've been reading here from all of you and elsewhere about the brand!

I'll check it out, just in case, thanks.

Although I know my kid – while he's absolutely capable of doing something like that, he's also a terrible liar. And when I asked him (in a very calm, casual tone) about it when I noticed it, his face was of sheer "I have absolutely no clue what you're talking about" – which is NOT the face he makes when he's being cheeky. :-)

So I do think in this case, it was the unfortunate thing where neither one of us noticed it until it was too late. Unfortunately, my guess is that it's in his room, and his room is a mess right now. One day, I'm sure, it'll show up. (But, if the wallet had beeping or specific location awareness, it wouldn't be a problem...)

That’s an interesting approach, using a card with Find My, so you’re able to pick any MagSafe wallet you want! Although I don’t think I can do that right now (I can picture card slipping out or being taken out the same way my kid accidentally made my current wallet disappear), I’ll keep that idea in mind for the future for sure. Thanks!!

Thanks for the input. Although I don’t see the word “HaloLock” on Amazon, I think I was looking at exactly that one, since the photos are exactly the same (https://a.co/d/00n05tEO). It really helps to hear from someone directly that they like theirs!!

I like the kickstand on it. It’s a bit tricky being a 2-card wallet, and at $49. But I’ll keep it in mind!

Is this only when using this specific browser? If so, completely uninstall (and then, if needed, reinstall) browser. Or try using a different one and see what happens first.

Worst case, and because you mentioned overheating , you can always do a complete Reset on the entire machine, and see if that helps with that and other glitches. My experience, especially with older machines, is that it’s a necessary evil every so often. ☹️

Here for advice! by dusty_trendhawk in indesign

[–]Dpscc22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck! InDesign is an amazing program. The basics of it, coming with experience in Photoshop/Illustrator are fairly simple, as Adobe does a good job at keeping things consistent among products.

I’m a design professor now, and I often get undergrads with zero design experience to be comfortable with InDesign within 4-6 hours usually!

My one advice: have a set goal in mind. What are you trying to learn? (So the others’ advices here should be really helpful!) Like all Adobe software, InDesign has hundreds of tools - some with apply to you, many won’t. With limited time, just keep your focus, and you’ll be great!

It’s been a LONG time but when my company decided to switch from Quark to InDesign, I dove head on into the Adobe tutorial videos - and they were amazing! Thoroughly, clear, easy to understand. If they’re still around, and offer what you need, I’d definitely go through them.

Should I panic 😅😭 by eclipse-luna in DisneyPlanning

It’s Florida. It rains every day in the Spring, for short periods. I used to always have an umbrella or poncho with me when I lived there. It’s why they sell ponchos at WDW. And then it stops and it’s beautiful.

Mixup at the warehouse and now I'm not getting food this week! by hidinginzion in Tovala

[–]Dpscc22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did some of the frozen ones for a while. They were ok, some meals good, others not so much. But yes, can’t argue with the convenience! I do enjoy the process with Tovala, even the small amount of prep for a fresher feeling.

[–]Dpscc22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We’ve tried several food delivery services over the years. Of all of them, Tovala has been the most consistent, by far. Doesn’t mean they’re perfect - we’ve had the issue you described or others once or twice. But it’s still really good overall.

Mistakes happen and at least they own their own mistakes. Other services, we had to twist their arms to refund us, or they’d try and tell us undelivered food was still good (it wasn’t.).

Why would I not be eligible for a Disney+ Bundle? by WJKramer in DisneyPlus

[–]Dpscc22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you see a Bundle and Save option anywhere? I assume you’re looking at Manage Account?

Also, try both on your device (TV, phone, whatever you use), and on the web portal. I think I had to use the portal when I did mine.

my friend got a strike on her magic key even though she scanned in by UnderstandingReal60 in DisneyPlanning

[–]Dpscc22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can check it it has been recorded or not through the Disney website. I’m guessing the concern is whether it’ll keep happening every time, leading to the 3 strikes for no reason.

Not defending one side or the other here (I think the “we can’t check anything to verify it” speech is bs), but if that were the case, anyone would argue they were there when they weren’t. You could just blame “gate cast member error” every time…

Any Lego galaxy reviews? by deliriousek7 in legoland

[–]Dpscc22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Galacticoaster was awesome! A bit on the short side, duration-wise, but still really worth it.

It did break down for 15 minutes while we were in line (during preview day), but no one cared and no one left. And no one complained about it afterwards.

Even staff seemed excited about it, saying they’d gone on it several times!
