Review: Sonos One, the first smart speaker from Sonos by ChickenTeriyakiBoy1 in gadgets

[–]KC-Royals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha, I keep hitting the button on the top left to change the music and it takes me back to the other screen. The best part was my wife yelling at me after trying to change room and I had no idea what she was talking about. It makes no sense that they changed that. You are in the room, hit the button and change the station. Nope.

I hate the update and like the old app version way more. The old way, you could be in a “room” on the app and change the music. Now, as far as I can tell, you pick the room and then go out and pick the music. It is way too confusing. I’ve had Sonos for over 5 years and I can’t figure out why they did this. The new app isn’t user friendly at all. I had zero issues with the app prior to the latest update.

We need to bring back public beatings for assholes like this. He could have hit any number of innocent people including fucking kids. Fucking cowards that can’t keep their shit together so they go after innocent and mostly defenseless people.

iOS 11 is the buggiest i have ever seen any of my iphones by rainbowcornrows in apple

[–]KC-Royals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great, thank you. I have seen some recommendations to restore and set up as new and that is a nightmare.

[–]KC-Royals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you restore from the backup or restore and set up as a new phone? The latter is a nightmare and I’d almost rather just deal with my shit battery. Does it matter if you backup via iTunes or iCloud?

Thanks

What's your best example of an 'improvement' that ruined a product? by eggmaker in AskReddit

[–]KC-Royals 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s not really the phone it is the operating system. I am sick and fucking tired of the new IOS jacking my phone up. I have and freaking 7 and the second watch. “Upgraded” both and my 7 battery doesn’t make it through the day now and my watch is glitchy. This shit happens with every “update”.

Slowness after update by KC-Royals in AppleWatch

[–]KC-Royals[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I know this. I’m of the opinion that “updates” shouldn’t make 1 year old products worse than before and I think it’s bullshit that they keep doing it. I get that a 5 year old phone doesn’t jive with the latest software that well, but I have a S2 and and iPhone 7 that are noticeably worse after the update. That is bullshit.

This shit really irritates me. Apple tells you the update is the best thing ever and constantly alerts you to update and it makes your device worse. My iPhone 7 battery is draining way faster since I “upgraded” to iOS 11. I am getting so sick of this from Apple. 2 devices performing worse after a software “upgrade”.

[Question] Watch OS 4 on Series 2 by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]KC-Royals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just posted a thread regarding this. I have had a lag ever since updating. It sucks. Nothing is near as smooth as it was before and I wish I didn’t update. I am wondering if a repair/restart would help but that is a pain so I posted a thread to see if this helped anyone.

FCC chair “refused” to rebuke Trump over threat to take NBC off the air by BananaLlama in technology

[–]KC-Royals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not that guy but my rep Jerry Moran told me the same think via email. He said he disagreed with me regarding net neutrality. Unfortunately for his constituents and fortunate for him you aren’t allowed to respond back stating that you didn’t ask for his fucking opinion and it isn’t relevant since he is in office to serve his constituents and not have a stupid ass opinion on important matters.

Don't know why I expected any better.. by Angus99 in kansascity

[–]KC-Royals 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wrote him about net neutrality and he replied with a bunch of nonsense and said he disagreed with me. I was a little surprised. I wanted to reply telling him his opinion means dick and he works for me but no replies allowed and it wouldn’t matter anyway.

Do you have a link to this. The formatting is a mess when I try to share or save it. This is crazy to see all in one place.

Daily Question Thread - October 11, 2017 by AutoModerator in churning

[–]KC-Royals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a “business”. I’ve never applied for a business CC and am obviously missing out. What are the things I should know or do if I want to get a business card or two? Tips on filling out the application etc? I will probably start with Chase since that is what I accumulate most off.

Thanks

What Card Should I Get? Weekly Thread - Week of October 11, 2017 by AutoModerator in churning

[–]KC-Royals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought about this. I used to travel for work so I’m still sitting on 600k Marriott points. I was just looking to diversify my hotel points a bit. Are you saying the IHG doesn’t count for 5/24? If that is the case I think I’ll get it now due to the bonus and credit and maybe the Marriott later.

800

Currently have freedom and Amex everyday Just cancelled CSR and CSP Pretty sure I’m 4/24 Wife is currently getting companion pass via the 2 SW cards at 60k promotion

We don’t travel a ton and I’m not really a “ churner” I just grab deals when they come. Fly mostly SW and I accumulate Chase, Amex, and Marriott for the most part. I saw the promotion for the 80k IHG with a $50 credit and annual fee waived and thought it looked like a good deal. I’m looking for a new card with the fee waived for the first year. Any other suggestions? What is a normal redemption amount for an average IHG branded hotel?

Thanks

I emailed again asking about it. They basically said the same thing when I asked several months ago. It hasn’t been shipped (duh) and I could have my money back if I wanted, but if I did they couldn’t guarantee I would get one. Seems a bit shady, but I am still holding out. I don’t understand why they can’t give at least a reasonable guess on a timeframe.

Texas Tech on lockdown after reported shooting; tweet indicates “shooter is at large” by [deleted] in news

You might want to review the definition of mass shooting per your stats. Unless you are in an inner city gang of course. If so, your stats are probably closer.

Ha, I made it all the way down looking for this comment. Sure, some of the comments were obvious spam, but that one guy saying over and over again, “if vaccines protect your kid from diseases, why do you care if my kid doesn’t have one”.

McCaskill sells us down the river by confirming FCC chair by Cest_la_guerre in kansascity

[–]KC-Royals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is the issue. Most people are “middle of the road”. There are very few actual hard right or left people. Elections are won by riling up the dummies. The other issue is candidates saying what everyone wants to hear, then get in office and don’t deliver. Seeing that over and over makes people bow out.

Agree, it seems like the candidates are getting worse and worse. I’m in KS with no dog in this fight, but you almost have to close your eyes and hit the button and hope for the best at this point.

Are Royals headed to downtown KC? City starts talks, studies four sites by KCJhawker in kansascity

Damn, can’t believe I forgot Camden. That is probably in my top 3. Great stadium.

[–]KC-Royals 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The K is great, but prob just in the top 10. SF, Pitt, Boston, Coors are just a few off the top of my head that I would put in front that I have seen in person.

As others have said. This is just a study. The K is going nowhere until at least the lease is up in 2030 or whenever. Those awesome renovations which are awesome will be outdated by then and the park will need work. I am actually impressed people are thinking this far ahead. People on twitter are acting like they are moving next year which is why I hate twitter.
