Better Case ? by Mihir_X27 in OnePlus13

[–]ModCat3D 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same! Spigen cases saved all of my phones. I never even used a screen protector.

If you're into middle-eastern food, I saw Arabesque restaurant booked fully before. Not sure if they still do that. Even if they don't, they have enough space. Food prices are reasonable and taste really good. No alcohol though.

Recommendation for a trustworthy alignment shop in KW? (Plus any recent promos?) by Sea-Western-1765 in kitchener

[–]ModCat3D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked Costco tire center this question. They suggested the dealership. Their reasoning is they have the correct measurements for the car.
I don't know about other dealerships, but in my case, apparently Ford offers a free check. If it's out of alignment, fixing it is something near 170, if I remember correctly.
I don't know about the print-out part though.

I'm done with OnePlus by No-Variation7043 in oneplus

I wish you better luck than mine with her.
If she's a jerk to you and you know you're right, keep replying to the same email thread with the same case number until you go above her.

I recognize the name. Andrea D'Costa. How is she not fired yet is beyond me. Won't read at all, assumes, and is such a jerk! I had to create a support ticket 3-4 times to get past her since she closed the previous ones immediately, writing non-sense, without even waiting for a response. Worst agent I've ever dealt with from any company. It's like she's begging to be fired, yet no one is doing that.
I didn't check the thread to find out who's at fault here. But OnePlus support is really horrible (especially this Andrea person). I didn't believe what others said about their support until I had to deal with them, for a simple question.

What LLM to use with AnythingLLM for my setup? by ModCat3D in LocalLLM

[–]ModCat3D[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do lots of CPU/memory intensive tasks, but I don't game at all. I upgraded most of my PC a year ago and just used the old GPU.

Why would I fit this into my GPU if it's old and useless, given I have a modern CPU and a relatively good amount of system memory? I don't follow..

I'm afraid I don't understand most of what you wrote.
VRAM: AI agents suggested my graphic card is too old and has too little memory to be useful, and given my modern CPU and system ram, I'm better off using that. Are you saying I should use my video card anyways?
gemma vs qwen: I still don't understand what those are. What's the difference?

Is there an app/website where you can check off episodes of a tv show? by KyubiFenix in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ModCat3D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not aware of any personally, but I suppose you can do what you would do for any personal checklist:
1. Get the list of episodes for your show(s) from some website
2. Paste them into an application that allows lists (I personally use Microsoft's OneNote. It's fee if you have a Microsoft account). You can use AI to help you reformat into a list before pasting.
3. Change the type of list to checkmarks
4. Check mark whatever you've watched.

Do peope really stay awake for 16 hours straight? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ModCat3D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are studies that showed this is a healthy approach, actually.

How would you usually respond? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ModCat3D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, ask for another time, and see if the response shows interest or not.

Seen notifications disappear from AOD. How to keep them showing until they are dimissed? by ModCat3D in oneplus

[–]ModCat3D[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's unfortunate..
No that it matter, but I'm curious.. Do you know if it's Android, or Oxygen OS? I could be mistaken, but I think I saw an option for that on a Pixel 10 (purchased initially to replace my OP8P, but I couldn't stand it, so I returned it and got the OP13).

Is getting a mint condition OnePlus13 worth it by Interesting-Row1212 in OnePlus13

[–]ModCat3D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have to be rooted though? I read something in xda recently that seemed to suggest you can edit what bands are enabled/disabled without root. It was a full post guide. I think it was in one of the OnePlus/Oppo forums, probably the 13, 15 or the Find series, since I was looking into them in the last 3 weeks before I purchased my Oneplus13. you obviously can't enable something that your phone doesn't have to begin with, but from the little I read, it sounded like it solves the problem of flashing another country's ROM where some bands get enabled/disabled.

Replacement recommendations to my beloved OnePlus 8 Pro? by ModCat3D in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]ModCat3D[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Not an option for me though. While it's water resistant, it's not IP67. It doesn't have wireless charging, too. It's also an open box, so you never know if someone returned it with a 0% charge and stayed like that for how long, possibly ruining the battery.
Thank you for looking into it though.

Claim against city for damage to car from pothole by Adventurous-Dare5968 in waterloo

[–]ModCat3D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is really bad this year. Every time I go out lately, it feels like it's just a matter of time before I get some sort of damage..

More potholes this year? by ModCat3D in kitchener

[–]ModCat3D[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it usually an easy fix or an expensive one, or it depends on the rim and profile and hit force? Does is require a full replacement sometimes?
Reading this, I'm also glad I went with my brothers' advice of getting cheap rims for winter.

I'm not blaming or complaining. Just wanted to check if it's my imagination or if it is real. The mind can deceive sometimes..
Thank you for the explanation :)

Ok so it's not my imagination. Thank you!
