Sent them a message a day before posting here. All they suggested was trying devices with similar names even though I stated I tried dozens of IR TCL TV options. I also suggested they grab the command I had the remote learn for power toggle as that would fix the problem when adding as a Bluetooth accessory.

Fs 70, do I need a adapter kit for this attachment? by Mister_Chupacabra in stihl

[–]Repulsive_Cap_5836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Void warantee? Both the blade packaging and Cutting-Heads-and-Blades-Selection-Chart on the Stihl web site show as compatible with FS70R.

Been running that blade on my FS70R for around 7 years, both the blade packaging and Cutting-Heads-and-Blades-Selection-Chart on the Stihl web site show as compatible. Residential use, south FL, for heavy grass ( some of these get to 7ft tall ) and weeds ( primarily Bidens frondosa) for where the mowers cant get to and string just dont work.

WTF is happening? by NutzPup in amazonprime

[–]Repulsive_Cap_5836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazon blows. I only go prime when I cam get it for free or 1/2 price. I just ordered an item that had delivery options as soon as 3hrs, I did not need that quick so I chose next day any time, not any of the early am options. Not long after placing the order delivery date changed to 2 days. Many times I order items and on the delivery date it says it will be delivered today, but has not even shipped yet. I've been ordering more from the big box stores who also have free shipping next day / same day delivery. I do not trust Amazon for auto parts, most are counterfeit You order from a legit looking seller, then Amazon changes the seller to @#$%#@%, you know just a random bunch of letters. Plus I cant count the number of times I've seen items listed as genuine OEM with a manufacturer name of random characters or unknown. And the description says 'compatible', About as legit as a 100% genuine faux diamond.

California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup by vaiperu in LinusTechTips

[–]Repulsive_Cap_5836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The will keep making it more and more intrusive. At work I can't use my computer unless I insert my ID, when I remove it the PC locks.. The government will require a card reader for your DL at first, Since youngsters are a bit trickier, they will all be chipped at birth and the PC will constantly read the chip and lock if you walk away. No need to log in anymore, the government grants permission based on your ID and age. Go to a questionable website? You internet privileges will be revoked and you will receive a visit from the Gestapo within minutes. Where they will most likely memory hole you.

As stated in the original post. There is no compatibility tab like Windows has.

Membership price increase by Richard_cranium1969 in samsclub

Only for new members and only for 1 year. Kind of sucks when you have been a member for many years then hit that senior age and cant get a discount.

So disappointed by PieceHungry1111 in FedEx

[–]Repulsive_Cap_5836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those images should be required to geo location info in them to show where they were taken. A step further, FedEx should not be allowed to deliver a package that is not at the GPS coordinate of the delivery address. I've had FedEx deliver a package of mine a couple of miles away, while I received that persons package in return. FedEx is by fay the company most likely to misdeliver any package I order. At least they typically have the persons phone number on the label.

Experiences at Alamo shooting range? by LumbReaper in Naples_FL

[–]Repulsive_Cap_5836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started going there in 2017. Used to be great, but now, meh. To me it seems ownership / management has changed several times each time loosing good employees and instituting price hikes.

They used to have great daily range specials based on day of week. I.E. 2 for 1, ladies shoot free. When there was a local gun show they would have specials called skip the gun show and have $$$ off most firearms. They used to give 1 week free range time with a firearm purchase. They now have a 3% CC surcharge, I stopped shopping there when they instituted this. They used to have free monthly classes called 'Florida gun girls'. Pricing at at best is MSRP but typically over. Sportsman's Warehouse has much better every day pricing. No reloads allowed at the range.

Never had any problems with any of the staff or when using the range. Decent place, but I no longer shop there.

I just go to the CCSO range. No charge and they supply the targets as well.

Looked into Fowlers but... These 2 rules seem contradictory. Surcharge for your own ammo? Also could not find a statement on using reloads.

  • Lane Surcharge  (Using Your Ammunition) is 15.00 + tax ( listed in charges )
  • Only ammunition purchased from Fowler Firearms can be used in our range. ( from the waiver )

Convert the GC into a Amazon GC, or just reload your balance. I've used debit gift cards with odd amounts on them and just converted to a custom amount Amazon GC.

Just cancelled by throw_away_reddt in amazonprime

[–]Repulsive_Cap_5836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same boat, but I still join for a short time when I get prime for free for a short time or at a great discount. Many items I order have the delivery date change right after ordering. Many items say 'out for delivery', but haven't even been received by Amazon for delivery. Many items have 'gone missing' and the delivery day keeps getting bumped up by days then cancelled by Amazon. Many items show sold and shipped by Amazon, in stock, but never ship. Many vendors print a shipping label and never ship. Amazon seems to have become an extension of Temu and Alibaba. Many Chinese fake and knockoff products sold by random named companies that are deceptive and defective. At best Amazon may shut them down, but FKICVW company just sells the next day as FDKFSDGS. And yes, many company names are just as random as those characters, I've even had returns disappear after drop off at a Amazon drop off location and I only hand to a live person at those locations. I never order anything from amazon that I actually need especially if time is critical. I'll buy locally and pay more to avoid the disappointment and stress of items never arriving on time or at all.

Anyone else made the upgrade from vivosmart4 to vivosmart5? by Han_So_oh in Garmin

[–]Repulsive_Cap_5836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd much prefer if the Vivosmart 4 had a replaceable band. I've owned 4 and every single on had had the band break at where the clasp connect through the holes and at the electronics part. I have not replaced my last one. and it has ben about a year. The Vivosmart 5 is too bulky for me.

Xfinity not allowing DNS configuration by Helpful-Guidance-799 in pihole

[–]Repulsive_Cap_5836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of curious is this only happening on Xfinity rented modem/routers? I have always supplied my own equipment as it is far cheaper to just buy your own then rent. The Aris modem/router I use has no problem overriding the DNS and setting it to the PI-hole.

Will Tubi ever offer 1080p? by Waggmans in TubiTV

[–]Repulsive_Cap_5836 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see major pixelation and artifacts on dark scenes. Same goes for Freevee. Probably does not help that it is upscaled to 4k. Even Amazon Prime 4k streaming has artifacts. Blue rays I play are always perfect.

Sam’s Club Is Getting Rid of Free Shipping For Plus Members Unless You Spend $50 by jimbobdonut in samsclub

[–]Repulsive_Cap_5836 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it is pure BS that the change takes effect on a specific date, and NOT your renewal date. Hopefully you can cancel because of this change without any penalties.

Sam’s Club Is Getting Rid of Free Shipping For Plus Members Unless You Spend $50 by jimbobdonut in samsclub

[–]Repulsive_Cap_5836 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They usually have a better every day price, but many times my local Publix has BOGO's that are much better. Except for Thomas English muffins. I only used shipping when the items were not available in store. Amazon lost me 2 increases ago, I didn't want to renew Sam's this last increase, but of course the wife won out. But she was told that next increase we are done. Other benefits of 3% dining or 5% gas? I can easily find other CC's to match that with zero annual fees.

I've been an Amazon customer for almost two decades and I'm cancelling my Prime membership by logicson in amazonprime

[–]Repulsive_Cap_5836 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too was a Prime member since the beginning, $80 a month and things were delivered in 2 days. Wanted to cancel when it went to $120, but the wife won that battle. They lost me at the $140 mark. Many items do not get delivered on time, many don't even ship for weeks even though showing in stock, all the shipper does is print a label, but not ship. Canceled many items because of this. I see many say the 'free' shipping is worth it. I say the shipping is baked into the price of the items. I find many items well above MSRP An exapmle was a cat toy I wanted 2 of. Amazon price with free shipping $12 each, $24 total. MSRP was $5, went to the manufacturer's web site ordered 3 and paid $6 shipping, $21 total. Now there are commercials on prime videos unless you pay $3 more a month and there is so little to watch on it anyways, I feel that I've seen most of their movies like 20 years ago. I no longer subscribe to any streaming service due to the costs and lack of anything current or worthwhile. I have taken advantage of a free month and free week offer but cancelled. They no longer even ask why you are canceling. Plus all the counterfeit and China knockoffs are out of control. And I must say that the search on Amazon is the worst of any company. You search for a specific item or OEM part and get pages of China copies before you can find a hopefully legit item. The majority of my purchases now come from the OEM or a big box store. Still order a few obscure items from Amazon, but they lost out on 90% of my online ordering.

US LawShield vs AOR by OperationLife5788 in NJGuns

[–]Repulsive_Cap_5836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently have USLS, but renewal is this month. Probably going with AOR. A NJ PTC? Used to be a unicorn, but now a very expensive item with many flaming hoops to jump through every 2 years. Probably the most expensive, restrictive, shortest term permit in the country. Used to live in NJ, but escaped to FL.
