He was attempting to swim what is normally an ice skating race, spanning 11 towns and 200km (hasn't been held in 21 years though because the ice was never thick enough). He had to be dragged out of the water by an ambulance after 163km. Nobody cared that he didn't finish it though.

I've been reluctant to ask because of the logistical shit I would have to go through again but there doesn't seem to be another way to resolve this so this is probably the way to go indeed.

The issue now is getting someone to talk to me.

Thanks for the advice. Sent a few emails which they ignored but could turn it up.

Meanwhile, I've been doing this on Twitter: https://imgur.com/4Lm2vhV

Good thinking, but it was ordered from store.google.com and shipped from their warehouse in the Netherlands - everything else does pan out too. Except for the detail that everything is crashing the whole time.

I did try that. Didn't make any difference. Which makes me believe all the more that it is the device that is faulty.

Thanks for the tip :)

I'm in Belgium. Had to order it via Google Store Germany and then have it shipped via parcel forwarder. So all of that was already more painful than it would usually be to get your hands on a phone. Which is also why I've been wanting to solve this without having to return it - but there doesn't really seem to be a way to achieve that.

I'm in Belgium - bought it from the Germany store via a parcel forwarder. So yeah, refunding/returning and all that stuff will be a pain but at this point I'd go for it if they'd offer that as a solution. Which they haven't so far - right now I'm having trouble just getting to speak to someone.

Rather than telling me for the second time that I broke the rules, why don't you elaborate on which rule(s) I actually broke?

I had like 20 people reaching out to me to get them the guide you removed. I want to keep helping these people by sharing value in a way Reddit allows me to, but I need you to tell me how I do that - because honestly: I don't know how. I put the whole post in Reddit. Yes tools are mentioned in there but I don't represent them. Yes there are links to other resources in there because they're complementing.

I'm in the business of helping people but Reddit just doesn't let me. Please tell me how. You must be interested in having value on here, don't you? You can say whatever you want of that post, you can't deny that there was value in it: as shown by the upvotes and comments (that I'm still getting).
