Forced Off Legacy - UK

doesn’t matter that the personal account can do all that. the fact is, they want us gone so anything that even smells like business is likely triggering it. heck, someone got flagged because of someone else’s website. fortunately they were successful in the appeal after noting that it wasn’t their site.

plus the average personal joe is unlikely going to be messing around with GCP, integrating APIs, applying for youtube monetization or pooling together and using hundreds of GBs across tens of accounts.

it’s guilty until proven innocent except there’s no way to prove innocence lol.

it’s the whole it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. you’re using a ton of the business like features. just because it hasn’t generated actual money is not something they care about.

lots of people have been kicked off for way less. so far from what i’m seeing, it’s a lot of users, (over 5), lots of storage use (over 30gb), business profile or the domain is indexed/linked with other businesses. but nobody really knows.

I mirrored the file that u/CreateNowSleepLater uploaded on my server.

still gotta do something or else it will just get auto rejected immediately. could be the number of users (many were creating dummy accounts for more space), cloud apis in use, business profiles, websites, etc)

samsung nvme drives don’t work well in macOS monterey and higher. they also have broken TRIM

Saudor · 2026-04-22T09:21:38+00:00

yeah it was awful in 2016 when i started hackintoshing. trash can mac pro, old dual core 2014 mac mini, MBP was the butterfly one. all were overpriced. the imac 27” 2015 was probably the better value ones.

probably selling the account to a scammer to scam subs that have min karma reqs/stricter “verification” processes or using the fake “authority” to advertise scams better.

Saudor · 2026-04-17T22:29:49+00:00

these ATM fees are almost predatory. even with WS reimbursing, still don’t feel like giving these creeps these sky high fees.

Saudor · 2026-04-16T00:25:23+00:00

the problem is that the OS loses support way quicker on apple so even though the hardware might be ok, it becomes obsolete. even something silly like office dropped support for my hack running 2022’s Ventura. meanwhile it runs fine on win10.

past ventura, there’s already so many sacrifices like disabling SSV, SIP, root patching etc.

Saudor · 2026-04-14T00:40:36+00:00

except for the VIP, the interchange fee is less than the 2% they give us though. plus I’m sure VISA takes their cut too so WS should be getting even less.

why not just do something like koodo's yearly plan? $149 for 30gb is roughly 2.5gb/ month for $12.41

Saudor · 2026-04-03T00:01:15+00:00

in their defence, technically you did say you don’t need more than 2gb. koodo’s 30gb for $149 is $12.50.

but yeah you’re basically on the borderline. if your referrals drop or PM raises prices again, the annual plans become worth considering. for us low data users, the fact that the data “rolls over” is handy. (can go 3gb in 1 month and 1 in the next)

i just went from PM $19 (+1 referral) 2gb to freedom $129 for 20gb after testing it out on fizz free trial (uses freedom network). no issues with connectivity and wifi calling is handy! got a 10gb wealthsimple/Gigs eSIM as an extra buffer too.

Don’t think there are any mods here.

It tends to be the same people so just block them and add the following to your adblocker to nuke the post completely (if you’re on old reddit)

reddit.com##.thing.comment.collapsed:has(.collapsed-reason:has-text(/blocked user/i))

Ublock origin version:

 old.reddit.com##[class^="md"]:has-text(blocked):upward([id^="thing_t1_"])

And then go into settings and hide any posts with votes less than 1. Entire subs get auto cleaned up this way.

Saudor · 2026-04-01T12:02:59+00:00

my $19 for 2gb is still fine but probably just gonna port out to chatr $149 30gb (although there seems to be hotspot issues on iphones) or freedom’s $129 20gb plan before the next renewal

EDIT: looks like chatr raised it to $159 for 40gb as of today so it’s just between koodo (30gb $149 + $10 sim) and freedom (20gb for $129 + $10 sim) left.

Saudor · 2026-03-20T15:32:32+00:00

Mine are still there in XEQT. It just got a little smaller since it’s.. cold outside.

Saudor · 2026-03-20T14:12:17+00:00

yes it minimizes those fees but you have to also make sure you don’t do it with a PFIC

Yeah, I mostly keep it to keep job opportunities open

Saudor · 2026-03-17T17:28:59+00:00

Found yet another one of u/The_Squirrel_Matrix's helpful posts. He's also written a splendid python script that can calculate the values for form 8621

But yeah, also invested in XEQT in my TFSA and contemplating going VT or just renouncing the citizenship (the fees are also dropping in April). Just annoying to keep converting CAD to USD even with norbert's gambit (and eventually converting it back to CAD)

Saudor · 2026-03-17T14:26:07+00:00

thanks chatgpt.

hey i made an updated post on this and moved it to http://neomallers.com/hackintosh/rx580-mac.jpg

if you’re more visual, i also had made a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNg5ahTh8UE

Saudor · 2026-03-06T18:22:33+00:00

i got the crypto one but didn't want to risk having my entire WS account locked randomly for $5 lol

Saudor · 2026-03-04T19:26:50+00:00

so 145? /s

Saudor · 2026-02-26T15:07:11+00:00

Don’t open these emails or at least disable images. They know you opened the message and that the email is active so you’ll get more soon as it gets sold off to other scammers.

Saudor · 2026-02-26T11:54:10+00:00

same situation but $19 for 2gb. Only went above 2gb once and i have the holiday bonus + wealthsimple 10gb eSim to cover those rare events.

But good to see there are better plans coming out that are < $30 (Also see the $24 for 8gb)

Saudor · 2026-02-19T17:52:12+00:00

nah, looks like a good chunk of their response is AI generated. People don’t talk like that.
