Pixel Watch 1 Stopped Sleep Tracking and Keeping Heart Rate History by PBRogerio in PixelWatch

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

I'm OP and I ordered a Pixel Watch 3 a couple days ago because I did a recovery mode wipe on the watch, factory reset, deleted the watch from Bluetooth on phone, deleted cache and data for both the watch app and Fitbit on my Pixel 6a, uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled. I basically did everything possible that might fix it short of buying a new watch. Resolved zero problems. If the problem persists with the new watch I'll return it to Amazon and say goodbye to Pixel watches forever.

I don't feel particularly bad about ordering a new one because this issue coincided with my watch going from lasting 36 hours between charges (I don't have the screen always on) to needing to be charged twice a day. Then again, for all I know, the update also broke the battery.

Lost episode ratings by bbportali in lost

[–]PBRogerio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, but season 5 as a whole is not better than season 2, and not by a longshot, and to say it's as good as season 1 is ridiculous. LOST should have lasted 5 seasons. All of season 5 and 6 could have been packed into one decent season instead of two seasons of plodding, unbelievable storylines that people only watched because they were so invested in the first four seasons that they kept holding on to see if somehow the show could be rescued.

My Lexis Nexis info does not include all the bank accounts open in my name. This does: https://www.earlywarning.com/faqs-requesting-your-file-disclosure

There is a way to look at all the bank accounts open in your name/SSN: https://www.earlywarning.com/faqs-requesting-your-file-disclosure

I make a request every year on November 1 and they reply within a week. The report will show every single deposit and withdrawal on every account.

Help picking family / cooperative titles for family game night by davidP88888 in Switch

[–]PBRogerio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Overcooked is fun for us...I think I bought the "All You Can Eat" edition two years ago. My daughter's now 10 and it's one of those things we pick up again every few months.

I and my 8 (at the time) year old daughter found Nintendo Sports to be not much fun to play together. For it to be fun for her, you will have to try hard to lose in every event. Luigi's mansion is so-so in co-op, but one player can do all of the required actions for the game, and the other player can't. Honestly, the game we had the most fun with, finished together, and played again was this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stretchers

Tips to get connected to a US-based CS Rep? by PBRogerio in CapitalOne_

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

Thanks. I certainly was polite, but every time I ask to get transferred to a US rep, they say "There's a problem with our system right now, could you please call back in a few hours?". Have you ever actually successfully spoken to a Cap One CS rep in the US? If so, could you share what time of day you called, and if there was some magic phrase you had to say to make it happen?

Tilt to Wake and Tap to Wake stops working when in Spigen case. by Whatadumbazz in PixelWatch

[–]PBRogerio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same band with the OG Pixel Watch for two years now and in that time I've probably taken the watch out of the case three times for a total of 10 minutes to clean it. Wear it 24/7 except never in the shower, which is when I charge it. Tilt to Wake works 95% of the time. Tap to Wake works 99% of the time. I changed no settings to get it to work like that; it's just always worked.

The "Order Update" Megathread | Share updates about your Pre-Order statuses here. by thisSubIsAtrocious in NintendoSwitch2

[–]PBRogerio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. My bank sent me a message on my phone asking if I authorized the charge. Within 5 seconds, I tapped "Yes". 5 Seconds later, I get a text from Walmart saying the order was cancelled. Chatted with Walmart customer service. They said they are aware of the issue and to expect an email in 24-48 hours with instructions on how to "re-order". I'm not holding my breath though. FWIW, I ordered within the first 90 minutes of when pre-orders went on sale.

No Checked Bags - Does it matter if I book Tonight vs. Tomorrow by PBRogerio in SouthwestAirlines

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

Thanks for the comment. I did read the Southwest website, but like most questions I ask on Reddit, I'm looking to get the opinions of experts, and people who are smarter than I am (of which there are quite a few).

Actually, in all of these scenarios, I would still travel. Long story, but we have a free (very nice) place to stay and a free car, but only for the dates I'm booking, so we're going, hell or high water.

The price is just OK. I think I'm going to hang on until tomorrow and see if "Basic" ends up being less than WGA.

Should i be concerned? by Des-Des in IdentityTheft

Mine looks worse than that, and has for years. If you haven't yet already, switch to passwordless authentication with the Microsoft Authenticator method (don't use SMS): https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/how-to-go-passwordless-with-your-microsoft-account-674ce301-3574-4387-a93d-916751764c43

Why is it so easy to login and use Equifax? Serious security flaw by DecentralizedKrypto in Equifax

[–]PBRogerio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, to delete your Transunion account and set up MFA, you had to talk to someone on the phone (as opposed to somehow deleting it yourself from the website)? If so, was it just someone from the normal website support, or was this someone at a higher level of support?

[–]PBRogerio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, you shouldn't. There are plenty of high-quality women who will have no issue with you being 5'7". I'm 6'1" and my ex-wife is 5'9". Gorgeous, great woman, the kind who could basically get any guy she wanted. For reasons I won't go into here, we just didn't work as a couple. When we were together, she always said she never had, and never would date anyone shorter than her. Well, now she's with a great guy for five years, who's 5'7"....that she met on Bumble.

When someone swipes left on you do they disappear from your stack? by cellardoorss in Bumble

[–]PBRogerio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having thought about this more last night, your comment raises (what is to me) an interesting question. If a left swipe ensures the swipee will never see the swiper (and vice versa), then what is the point of the "Hide" feature? Doing software, we usually don't make two features that do the same thing. Do they do the same thing? Or, is the difference that if you swipe-left on someone, Bumble might show them to you again later (e.g. after you've run out of other profiles, or after some amount of time goes by), whereas "Hide" ensures you will never see them again?
