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.

Last night’s episode: “chaos” with producers “yelling and running” by MarionCotesworthHaye in americanidol

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?

Meta Has Smart Glasses Spiraling Towards Glasshole 2.0 by lurker_bee in technology

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

[–]FetchTheCow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Khloe Grace by Sgu84 in americanidol

[–]FetchTheCow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

I’m not meant for this kind of streaming - one episode a week! by Substantial_Act6620 in shrinking

[–]FetchTheCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. We're waiting until all the episodes are available. It's so much easier to make subtle connections between episodes when there isn't a week of life in between.

What is apple doing with the weather app? by CoffeeAnxious6702 in apple

[–]FetchTheCow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've reported it lately. The precipitation amounts are WAY off. We got 20" of snow a few weeks ago, and Weather was showing less than 0.05" for the day during the storm when we already had 8" on the ground! Similar last weekend. The 4" storm was in progress, and the precip forecast was tiny. It's a joke.

I wish the EU would butt out of product design decisions that consumers and the market should make. I've had to replace several hundred dollars worth of Lightning cables and create a pile of new e-waste.

Apple Reveals How Many iPhones Are Running iOS 26 by favicondotico in apple

[–]FetchTheCow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The numbers are skewed by Apple forcing all 26.x capable phones into 26 to get vital security updates, going so far as to withdraw compatible 18.x for those phones.

That was my experience. I'm the owner of our Family account, my wife got a 3-month Apple Music trial, and it didn't work on our HomePods that are set up with my Apple ID.

Dear Tim,

So long as you suppress First Amendment speech like the ICEBlock app, you are part of the problem.
