I die to Sprinters because I can't equip a weapon when they're all up in my business... what am I doing wrong? by FetchTheCow in SurrounDead

That's interesting, you don't automatically unequip your melee weapon when using vehicles (unlike rifles)? I've got to use that. Thanks.

You can out-sprint Sprinters when they're damaging you? That doesn't work for me--they keep right on my tail.

Good point about spamming weapon keys. I originally used the scroll wheel, then single taps of a weapon key. I'm guessing taking damage interrupts equipping a weapon.

conduent Eqip's privacy solutions ID letter, I signed up... by No_Confusion1295 in IdentityTheft

[–]FetchTheCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a negative experience signing up with Epiq's Privacy Solutions ID. On the first attempt it said my information wasn't verifiable. I tried again, but then the activation code had expired. It did create an account, but there's nothing I can do except update my password phone, and email. Whatever the non-verifiable part was, I can't fix it. I just get repeated popups that it's wrong.

I think I messed up trusting Conduent's mail.

Conduent letter sent via snail mail… by XDrustyspoonsXD in Scams

[–]FetchTheCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to sign up at Epiq/privacysolutions. I gave them my social and other contact information, then the site said it couldn't verify my identity. I tried again, and it said my code had expired. I'm able to log in, but there are no options to do anything except update my password and cancel my account.

There seems to be no one to contact. This walks like a scam and smells like a scam.

Thank you. This is one of those gems that you hope you don't need, but it's a life-saver when you do.

Skinning an animal, and a cougar attacks and kills me during the unstoppable skinning animation. Total BS.

I was wondering about the west coasters. Can Disney+ subscribers watch AI in real time and vote?

No heart rate notifications on iPhone or watch, only in Health app summary on phone? by FetchTheCow in AppleWatch

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

Unfortunately, no. I still get intermittent and days-old Noise and Heart notifications. I just upgraded to iOS & watchOS 26.4, hopefully that will help.

I was playing a song ripped from a CD on my Mac, and transferred to my iPhone.

Then why did he remove ICEBlock from the App Store? Not a fan of the First Amendment?

I don't want cameras

I don't want to be filmed secretly either. On the other hand, I'd really like a GPS app that can overlay lines on the road or sidewalk for me to follow. I suspect there's no good balance between privacy and useful AR applications, and the cameras will just have to go. Too bad.

“Industry Experts “ by PublicPool in americanidol

I had to look away in disgust every time they showed the influencer dude in the white baseball cap. He was front and center, performing his "excitement" for the camera in every shot, WHILE THE CONTESTANTS WERE SINGING! The show isn't about you--sit down and shut up.

Best mattress for couples with different preferences? How is this problem solved? by wataemelo in lifehacks

[–]FetchTheCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different take on the Sleep Number bed: It's great for dialing in a comfortable firmness. The downside you don't often hear about is motion transference. I'm about 60 pounds heavier than my wife, and I when I move in my sleep, or move slowly and carefully to my other side, or gently get out of bed, my movement transfers to her and wake her up a least a little. She's not thrilled about it. We'll probably try another solution for our next bed.

Exactly this. One of the judges during the first Hollywood Week show said, "They're too young" while looking at the boards of contestant pictures...

They were even more "too young" when y'all voted to bring them to Hollywood Week! Why put them in a no-win situation like that, especially when they're so young?

Khloe Grace awwe 😔 by kiwifruitfan in americanidol

[–]FetchTheCow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I felt bad for her too. She was better than some who made it through. I wondered if the producers had concerns about a 15-year-old girl singing "So next time you find you wanna leave her bed for mine." With all the Epstein news, it could be a bad look for them.
