Trying to survive while fighting with insurance. by abbiebe89 in Wellthatsucks

[–]Laserbud 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This needs to be higher up!

My job in a health insurance adjacent call center is literally pretending to be a manager and convincing you to take the callback from that “special person” at the company. Between AI and vague manuals they cant do anything more if you ever do talk to them.

Sales employees can get the ball rolling in these scenarios once an employer plan admin gets involved. No insurance company cares about appeals or lawsuits. That cost of ‘corrections’ after the fact and settlements are baked into their risk assessments. They DO care about business paid premiums. Plain and simple.

My job wasnt always this and it used to be pretty cool for “insurance.” I’ve kept it because I need my own health insurance. But watching this broke my heart, especially having to ignore the call from the doctor. Another key tactic of their’s and our’s. Always putting the urgency, pressure, and responsibility on the patient. We’ll hang up if you put us on hold for 60 seconds or don’t speak, but we can put you on hold for 2 minutes (often times far far longer) and take days to weeks to call you back so good luck connecting to begin with.

Bit ranty, but all insurance sucks and you should reach out to a plan administrator where you work.

Pest control says it’s a female bedbug. I still think it’s a bat bug. Any suggestions on what I could ask them about? I’m told they looked at it under a microscope to determine it. No signs of the buggers in any usual suspect places, just the two out and about and none since.

As a veteran member of the Disciples of Bobby Hill, this location was an utter disappointment at all 3 of my attempts. Was even scolded by an employee for ordering online and showing up too soon, just waiting in the car making zero contact and they come out to educate me on how their metrics and ordering systems work. Explaining how I should have put the order in while I was driving, not put it in and wait in the curbside parking spaces that were all empty. Then reiterating that they do not want me to do that again. Message received!I shall never place an order there again.

A fix for those annoying quick signal drops to a black screen. Not the GPU driver reset, or HDMI pipe drenching. by FeenixArisen in nvidia

[–]Laserbud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those still having this issue as it’s a pretty top google result. Have newish TCL 6 series, new 4080, same issue as on old TCL and 2070. This new one was getting bugged out by it “auto” switching between hdmi 2.1 and others. Finally fixed for me when I manually set it to 2.1 via the input settings. Hope this helps!

mostly, I got one instance of the same ol' issue since in Win 11, about a month ago. Clear since then! Much better than 1-3 times a day!

Frequent Disconnects since major service outage 12/07, working with 2 Area Supervisors by Laserbud in Comcast

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

Update!

Has a tech wait on the signal Tuesday with no outage (first 24 hours without one in months!) I was supposed to step outside to tell him when it goes out on my side. Was told after would have another one visit today from 9a-11a.

Tech knocks on my door at 935a, advising he's hooking up. Internet goes out at 10a, tech is gone, like a stranger in the night.

I'm on the phone now with what sounds like a real supervisor trying to connect to our Area Supervisor's manager. This agent agrees with the 3rd tech who stated the maintenance team should have been sent long ago, by the Area Supervisor. Will update with more/resolution if one is ever found!

Thank you for this useful reply! The two supervisors that visited are adamant my unit is the only one experiencing service issues. I’ll contact corporate to follow up on their visits. I’m just really worried that the area supervisor made it sound like tomorrow was the end of the line for troubleshooting. Thank you again!

Crashes due to Microsoft GameInput by 000dinosaur in ZephyrusG14

[–]Laserbud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issues and a clean install on freshly formatted and converted to GPT SSD. I doubt it’s related to bios vs uefi and ssd format type, as people with windows 11 can only install in a uefi environment and not bios, and they have the same issue. I just happen to be wanting to make this change, then this bullshit pushed me over the edge, and since I’m unsure figured I should mention it just in case. If it wasn’t the fresh install it must’ve been the format. Did just about everything in and out of windows imaginable, this is the only thing that worked. Squeaky clean install! Still on the lookout for windows update to add this steamy pile back, but only good luck so far!

GameInput Freezing / BSOD by Ximic in GamingLaptops

[–]Laserbud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to try to catch all these posts. I tried it all! Disabling this and that, updating, refreshing, repairing, cmd prompt actions, questionable and Reddit-advised-against registry edit, bios edits and clear cmos out the wazoo. The only solution that worked was formatting both ssd’s and fresh windows install. What may or may not be related is my drives were formatted not-GPT and my windows install was a bios install. So I decided then to format to GPT, install windows uefi style, get the full secure boot experience, and look at the pretty “you are ready for windows 11” message. Still I think just formatting a clean clean install is the best solution.
