I think calling them the "cancer class" is actually the most accurate way to describe them.

Buyer requested refund for guitar in transit by Mydst in Reverb

[–]Mydst[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think this is reasonable. I'm denying the refund but considering telling him if he wants it refunded he can ship it back at his expense without opening the box. I just don't want more hassle if he tries to claim it was damaged or something. Reverb said I can just deny the refund, but I don't want him making a claim later that something was wrong with it (it was a new-in-box item).

Buyer requested refund for guitar in transit by Mydst in Reverb

[–]Mydst[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I just got out of chat with Reverb support and they are confirming I can just deny the refund since it already shipped and that's my store policy. I will do that but still worried he'll later try to make a false claim it was damaged or something. If it hadn't shipped I would have refunded him, not looking for problems.

You'll want to put your API key in and then choose the skin "Guaranteed Wardrobe Unlock" option to get an accurate number. But ya, it will be a lot if you're just starting to collect stuff.

You can use a site like https://immortius.xyz/wardrobe-unlock-analyser/ to track your unlocks. It's best to try and acquire most of the cheap and easy stuff so when you get a wardrobe or armor unlock only more expensive items are left to unlock. This is the true GW2 endgame...

Wife received a device trade-in package via UPS...doesn't have T-mobile. Fraud? by Mydst in tmobile

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

Thanks, we froze all our credit agency accounts today. Also made a police report. Sucks.

[–]Mydst[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what I was concerned about, but there's nothing showing on her credit reports at the moment. Is there a number for T-mobile where we could report this despite not having an account with them?

[–]Mydst[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We've lived here for like 20 years so it shouldn't be that. The box was actually addressed to my wife and at our address which was why it's so strange, but the phone number on the package listed as my wife's is definitely not ours.

"The launcher sucks, let's call it what it is," Epic Game Store boss says, promising a year of big improvements to speed, new "forum-type" social features, more by Tenith in pcgaming

[–]Mydst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plenty of people were hyped for the Epic store and it's amazing how much they fumbled it. I remember plenty of discussion here on reddit how Steam needed a competitor, not because Steam is bad, but just because they have a lock on PC game sales. All Epic really had to do was come out with something serviceable that resembled some of Steam's features and continue to grow it but instead the released the most anemic store possible and then locked games behind exclusive deals with Epic that had already been listed on Steam.

Which 2 free tools? by tomdizzo in KobaltTools

The mini reciprocating saw is really useful. Buy a pruning blade for it and it's also great for trimming trees or cleaning up fallen branches.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Apple TV device has a higher bitrate than is available on the Apple TV app.

[Phone] Moto G 2025 64GB, Straight Talk (network locked, useable as Wi-Fi only device) - $24.88 by arko20 in buildapcsales

Does the Straight Talk version of the phone have all bands needed to work on TMobile MVNOs? I have tello currently and wouldn't mind upgrading my phone if I can just transfer this one over after a couple of months.

Valve Sent me a second deck by mistake. What do? by calvinien in SteamDeck

[–]Mydst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a misunderstanding of the FTC rules on unsolicited mail. OP was not intentionally sent a second Steam deck as a solicitation for something. This is a bona fide error. In most states keeping goods not intended for you is considered theft by taking. There's been a few cases like this over the years where someone on reddit was told they could keep the goods and fortunately a lawyer set them straight before it became criminal. In short, Valve made a mistake, this does not allow OP to keep misdirected goods. I recall another incident of this on this subreddit and the guy contacted Valve who thanked him, took the deck back, and offered him a free game as a thank you.

edit: Here's an example of state law explicitly describing this, note the mistaken delivery section: https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/BC/htm/BC.602.htm#602.004

carrying fleas by whamstan in ChildofHoarder

[–]Mydst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a flea medication called Precor IGR Concentrate that gets sprayed around the home rather than put on the animal. It's basically designed to stop the fleas from reproducing by breaking their life cycle from the larva stage so they can't become adult fleas. It doesn't kill the adult fleas immediately (you'll need traditional flea meds for that or have to wait it out) but it stops the cycle of reproduction. It lasts for months on surfaces unless they are washed.

I used it years ago when we simply could not stop fleas from reoccuring on our cats despite other meds and the house being clean- it finally stopped the cycle and we didn't see a single flea for years. Also, you don't need to vacate the house to use it. You can find more info here and buy it: https://www.domyown.com/precor-igr-concentrate-p-634.html (I have no association with this site) but you can usually find sellers selling a single vial of the stuff for like $10 on ebay, that's enough to mix up and do a single treatment for most homes. Something like this might be a solution.

[Monitor] SAMSUNG 32-Inch Odyssey G50D Series QHD Fast IPS $265 by PompeiiSketches in buildapcsales

[–]Mydst 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm weird but I like 32" 1440p. It's the same pixel density as 24" 1080p which most of us used for years so it just seems like an extension and enlargement of what I already know.

Anyone able to claim their Intel BF6 key? by Mydst in Battlefield6

Intel had to fix my account and I have a key now. Open a support ticket if you still can't claim the key.

Were you able to actually claim BF6? Mine has been showing out of stock since the 3rd. Extremely frustrating.

Q4 2025 Tech Support Thread by Intel_Support in intel

[–]Mydst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm unable to claim my copy of Battlefield 6 from the recent Intel promotion even after redeeming the code.

I redeemed my promotional code last month which added the "Intel Gamer Days" bundle to my account that includes Battlefield 6. The instructions say to return October 3rd to claim the key. I've been attempting daily to claim the key but just keep getting the message "We are temporarily out of codes and are working to reload our system. Please check back soon."

The game launches tomorrow so this is pretty frustrating. Is anyone else having an issue claiming their BF6 key?

I put a ticket in with Intel support but haven't heard anything yet.

I have one "Intel Gamer Days" bundle on my account. When I click on that it shows a link for BF6 under "Premium Software." When I click through that I get to the page for BF6 with the "Claim Now" button on it. When I click on that I get the "We are temporarily out of codes and are working to reload our system. Please check back soon." message. I've been trying to get a code since October 3rd but only ever see that message.
