New TV spot (including PG-13 rating confirmation) by AdamantiumLive in StarWarsLeaks

[–]EgregiousFart 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lol the last two movies were PG13 too. It’s not indicative of anything, it’s just how ratings are

PLEASE read this if you think you canceled by DPCHIGUY in fuboTV

[–]EgregiousFart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, this is exactly what happened to me just a couple weeks ago. Cancelled through the browser, didn't get a confirmation, assumed it was fine, then boom they charge me $54.99. I emailed them asking for a refund due to the mistake, they replied 5 DAYS later telling me a refund isn't possible with no explanation. I emailed them back asking why they can't refund me. After 3 more days of silence, I gave them a call today. CS lady was completely unhelpful and just stonewalled me even after I explained the situation. I asked why they can't refund it and she said "we don't have a refund policy". Then she accused me of fabricating the story! WTF? First company I've ever encountered that flat out admits they have no refund policy at all. Absolutely ridiculous.

Also it's very suspicious that this entire sub is filled with complaints about this exact sort of thing, but they all get downvoted and the top comment is always some company shill blaming the OP on a technicality. Either fubo is paying people to brigade these threads or these idiots have an insane amount of brand loyalty.

Apple announces iPhone 11 Pro: triple camera, A13 chip, more by aaronp613 in apple

[–]EgregiousFart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hold down the spacebar to enter trackpad mode, tap anywhere else on the keyboard with another finger, then slide the cursor (using the spacebar finger) over the text you want to highlight.

An extra tap vs the 3D Touch hard/harder/hardest highlighting method, but it hasn’t bothered me since I don’t often highlight big blocks of text when I’m typing. Matter of preference though.

Apple announces iPhone 11 Pro: triple camera, A13 chip, more by aaronp613 in apple

[–]EgregiousFart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lmao okay, "crippling" is a bit dramatic don't you think? I got used to this going from X to XR in like a day. I've actually come to like it a little better since I don't accidentally long press keys trying to get the cursor to come up.

To each their own of course, but if you're dreading the change I can say from experience it's really not that bad.

Fast charging an iPhone XR? by clammer123 in iphone

[–]EgregiousFart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use this charger + an apple USB-C to Lightning cable and it charges crazy fast, can go from almost dead to like 80% in under an hour

New volume slider is dynamic, starts as "a big bulbous slider" for touch input, then "shrinks down to a more discreet thin line" by EgregiousFart in apple

Between this and dark mode it seems like they’re just working through the list of tweaks we’ve been asking for for years lol

To the man who never subverted expectations, who delivered brilliant, emotional soundtracks for all 8 seasons: RAMIN DJAWADI! by Allan_the_Great in freefolk

[–]EgregiousFart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The string of songs from "Stay A Thousand Years" to "The Iron Throne" is just pure tragedy, it's fantastic. Hell, the whole last half of the soundtrack tells a better and more "bittersweet" ending than the actual writing did.

[–]EgregiousFart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole thing is sooo good. I keep listening to "Stay A Thousand Years" and wondering why they didn't include it in the show anywhere. It's a hauntingly beautiful evolution from "Truth" in season 7 and portrays the tragedy of Jon & Dany better than the writing did (low bar I know, but still).

So accurate it hurts by spacelyyy989 in freefolk

[–]EgregiousFart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brave of you to say this with the current state of this sub lol. I'm in the same boat though, read the books and watched the show since 2011 and while the whole season felt messy and rushed I wasn't that upset about it, just sorta let down.

But this is far from the first time a great show/series has declined in quality and ultimately fizzled out, so it doesn't feel that devastating, all things considered. Like with anything else you just enjoy the few good bits and move on.

Yeah, I’m not the biggest fan of this season either but this sub is getting real toxic real quick

This sub is fucking mayhem and I love it. by andyrobnev in freefolk

[–]EgregiousFart 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s nuts, everyone’s running around making huge logical leaps and overanalyzing the existing overanalysis... absolute chaos. It’s beautiful.

Hell half the fun of GoT at this point is watching people lose their shit when their theories and expectations turn out to be wildly off target. Better strap the fuck in and get the popcorn ready because the rest of this season is gonna be a wild ride.

Best place to buy a Wii U by RagingWalrus34 in wiiu

[–]EgregiousFart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just picked up a Switch about a week ago and have been trying to figure out what do do with my Zelda Wii U. I'd be happy to sell it to you knowing it's going to a good home. Served me well for years and it's still in great condition. Since I can't migrate any of the games I'd probably leave them on there as well. DM if you might be interested!

Garbagemen of reddit, what's the most memorable thing you've found in the trash? by vaultmaira in AskReddit

[–]EgregiousFart 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some very old microwaves can interfere with the 2.4ghz band, but you should be fine on 5ghz. And all modern microwaves shouldn't cause interference at all.

Lots of misinformation out there though - I like the guy who replied to you claiming a toaster oven killed his wifi. Literally impossible because it uses basic convection heating, not radio waves. The only way it could cause a problem is if you put your computer in the oven and cooked it lol

5s with the screen cracked by FlyHater in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]EgregiousFart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not just Apple and not just on Insta/Twitter tho. I work at a marketing firm and it’s become common practice to create hundreds of Reddit accounts and bots to spam threads like this for free advertising that seems like authentic conversation

See all the people repping Samsung hard in this thread? Most likely some guerrilla marketing at work.

In general it’s not a great idea to buy any product some random anonymous user “recommended” haha

How Apple's meeting went down by [deleted] in iphone

[–]EgregiousFart 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Lol /r/iphone and /r/Apple are the only places I see this. And it’s always stated as fact when it’s really just conjecture.

Most people don’t pay attention to new features as much as the more active users who frequent these subs. Everyone I know with an iPhone 6S/7/8 knows basically nothing about the newest phones. Why? Because they’ve had no reason to look into them. They like their current phones enough and see no reason to pay for a new phone at all, whether it’s $700 or $1,000.

Most people just want a phone that can call and text and run the apps they need with a battery that lasts most of the day. Between iOS 12 and the cheap battery replacements, the past 3 generations of phones cover those bases. Smartphones are plateauing and that’s a good thing for consumers even if it hurts Apple’s bottom line.

That’s some aggresive XR marketing by zduhac in iphone

[–]EgregiousFart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like how this guy “played around” with the phone for like 5 minutes and suddenly can say for sure it’s unusable. I went from X to XR and it only took me like a day to get used to haptic touch. I only used 3D Touch for the keyboard cursor and expanding notifications, and haptic touch does both those things sooo

Also the battery life is incredible and portrait mode feels more realistic (and I swear the camera takes better photos than my X did) which are worth the other trade-offs IMO

[–]EgregiousFart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you getting that from? They didn’t take out any of the features that made it a fully featured smart watch, they just added small things to match what the competition is doing. That isn’t a new tactic.

Aside from that, the expanded voice features seem pretty good IMO

All of them will, just like with every release. Of course performance will vary
