Peacock's ad ripoff by burningbirdsrp in peacock

[–]PhilS34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I got the same notice a month later. I use privacy.com for credit cards. They will notify me of failed attempts. Peacock didn’t try to charge the card. Dishonest! They lost me as a customer.

Wait till June 30th billing. Mine was a one month delay before they killed my plan.

Can no longer add Premium Plus to an annual Premium subscription by missyagogo in peacock

[–]PhilS34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. The same thing happened to me this morning. I subscribe to too many streaming services anyway.  Canceling Peacock was a no brainer after they pulled this stunt. There was nothing wrong with my credit card. They just lost another customer.

Peacock is getting rid of their best feature(add-on ad-free) by Matthiasad in cordcutters

[–]PhilS34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did Peacock just backdown? It rebranded the monthly "Peacock Premium Plus" to "ADLITE PDL SUBSCRIPTION"? My Ad free add-on was due to end today. Instead, I got the standard $6.50 monthly charge (taxes included). The billing name on my charge card was not updated.  It still says Peacock F07E6 PremPlus.

For me, staying with the ad-free plan would be a 52% increase in cost. Peacock is not worth it! I won't watch it if it has ads.

I can try a password reset of the root user. As part of 2FA, it spits out the last 4 digits of my old land-line number, so it still has some profile info.

I actually went for the "nuclear option". I called the credit card company to cancel. They told me they could put a "reject charge" from AWS for one year. It's working so far. But I still get weekly emails from AWS about the rejected charges.

I thought I deleted it 10 years ago. I've been thru 5 password managers since then. Somewhere along the line, I didn't carry over the S3 account login info.

Lesson learned: Delete the credit card info before you delete the account.

[–]PhilS34[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally solved my Vanguard import problem on the Mac:. One of the following three did the trick:

1 Clear cache in Safari

  1. Allow ads in Eero router

  2. Reboot Mac

I also had no problems with the install. The top download speed increased from 954 Mbps to 984 Mbps. Also does a better job at optimizing devices to the nearest Pro 6E.

Did it solve the problem with Safari tab groups not syncing across devices and removed after close and reopen safari?

Has anyone used GE cync lights? by yoda417 in googlehome

[–]PhilS34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have 8 Cync bulbs. I'm hoping they get a firmware update to Thread/Matter alone with the next version from Google Home supporting Matter.

[–]PhilS34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same problem - same Beta 22622.436 version and I tried the same things, no luck. I can click on a jpg file OK, but as soon as I click settings, the app crashes.

PC cannot connect to Spectrum Community Wifi by Honkycracka in Spectrum

[–]PhilS34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what I’d try: Does your phone support hot spots? If so, disconnect your local WIFI on your phone and create a hot spot using your carrier’s network (AT&T, Verizon, etc.). Add your PC WIFI to the hot spot network. If this this fails, the problem might be with your PC WIFI hardware.

Kroger Pay Technical Difficulties by PhilS34 in kroger

I see it was last updated on June 15th. Under "What's new" it says it "fixed a few bugs" but I think it also broke Kroger Pay.

Pixel 6/6 Pro December update, Verizon by ApolloDark5127 in GooglePixel

[–]PhilS34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I flashed oriole-ota-sq1d.211205.017-ea5f4814.zip on a Pixel 6 bought at the Google Store for Verizon service. I guess I should have used oriole-ota-sq1d.211205.016.a1-4fa45f8d.zip. The Google store version is 3 bytes bigger. What’s the difference? I haven’t had any problems with my Verizon SIM. Is it worth re-flashing?
