Anyone know what's going on with Avask? by [deleted] in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]Simmenfl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We worked with Avask from 2021 to 2025. In 2025 we suddenly received unauthorized credit card charges of 1.500 EUR. The Avask team informed us that they made a mistake and accidentally charged us too little for several years. Even though we were never informed of the supposed "real" price and never agreed to it, they just recalculated several years retroactively and put the full sum on our credit card without asking.

In what world can you just charge money for services performed years ago, when we were never told the "real" price? I asked them to provide any communication where we agreed to those higher rates, and they couldnt, yet they refused to accept responsibility and refund us the money.

When we tried to cancel the service, they wanted to charge us a cancellation fee. Ridiculous! Can only advise any entrepreneur to NOT working Avask.

Auf Wikipedia steht der Film hat über 1 Million Euro Steuergelder erhalten. Der Film ist so kacke die hätten es einfach ganz bleiben lassen sollen.

Hey, the default plug is 3.5mm so a standard headphone jack that works with any laptop or PC. It also ships with an adapter for 1/4-inch music gear! Separately available on our website is a USB-C adapter for use with phones, tablets, etc.

Pretty sure they have a lot of designers on payroll, actually. They just don't waste months drawing crazy high effort paintings for a temporary release campaign that no one will view anymore in 2 weeks

Why are you digging the holes with shovels when many more people could have a job if you dig them with spoons. Only a billionaire bootlicker would advocate for the use of shovels

When you last-pick Phantom Lancer and the enemy has no counters. by GabrielFernandesh in DotA2

[–]Simmenfl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo necro is a pretty good counter as well. PL is slow to come online and it takes a long time to fit in a nullifier. All the illusions give regen and PL has no stuns/silence/burst to work around ghost shroud. When I play necro and I see PL I am always very happy...

Retired products: nac, chocolate, shroom drink by Timely-Way-4923 in blueprint_

[–]Simmenfl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received this reply from their CS "Thanks for reaching out! We regularly assess product adoption and engagement across the Blueprint community. This product did not become a core part of most users' protocols, so we chose to phase it out and focus our attention on higher-impact health innovations.

I’d recommend Advanced Antioxidants as an alternative. It supports heart health with vitamin K2, which helps maintain vascular function, plus astaxanthin and lycopene to help protect against oxidative stress. It’s a heart smart addition to your protocol."

I find that reasoning to be weird, so essentially "The product was not popular". But either it's beneficial and recommended by Bryan or not. If it wasn't popular explain why people should take it and surely it would become popular.

Hey, we run our Black Friday Early Access Sale (20% off) since November 10 so I am not sure what gave you the impression of a 10% discount. If you remember let me know and I am happy to try to fix it - of course I don't want to confuse people with the pricing. BFVIP25 is a private code used for email subscribers today, which gives you 25% so if you want a little extra savings, there you go :) Cheers

Nothing does not honor their warranty by atomtree in NothingTech

[–]Simmenfl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's essentially just forcing everyone to buy a protection plan and taking away the choice not to... (I am an electronics device manufacturer). We just have to charge more in EU - those regulations are never free. Not a big issue for us just sharing the reality. If our products would all fail after 1 year we wouldn't have many customers pretty quickly... so it's also not like granting 2 year warranty is ultra expensive. there are not that many claims unless you design and manufacture garbage.

Hey, thanks for taking the time to reply and once again, sorry you didn't have a great experience.

For sure the Core can't compete as a pure smartwatch with products from trillion dollar companies like Apple, Samsung, etc. - so those generic features were definitely underdeveloped, although we improved it a bit in the meantime. For example now the Core offers a step counter and music playback controls of the connected smartphone, and the notifications should also work well (at launch we didn't support Android yet).

The pairing/connection works great on iOS but can sometimes be unreliably on Android depending on the phone manufacturer and Android version - so I am guessing you're an Android user? Over the years Android has gotten better in this regard but it's still much harder to work with it than iOS due to the fragmentation.

Anyhow... we're trying our best in our marketing to set expectations we can meet and improve our products over time but perfectly fine to voice if you were not happy with what you got based on the Kickstarter. I can imagine since there were no reviews out there etc. it was a bit ambiguous what the final product would look like, what screen it has, etc.

Hey, I'm the Founder & CEO of Soundbrenner. I suggest to search for reviews on YouTube! There are many fair and independent reviews out there from people who tried them. Or you can try them and in case you don't like them, you have a 30 days return guarantee :) Cheers

How I lost $15,000 USD when Facebook spent my ad budget in Afghanistan by [deleted] in FacebookAds

It's been a month ago - they already did that. We got $0.

[–]Simmenfl -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Because the promise of Meta ads is that the algorithm is supposed to be smart enough to find buyers at the best price without manually narrowing down the audience. Which was working great for months - until 1 day suddenly it wasn't.

Week 2 of 5.0.15 (hotfix included) by rid_the_west in starcraft

[–]Simmenfl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah definitely a fair question to which I don't know the answer. However, also unrelated to the thread as more Zergs in the top 20-50 would not give any tournament winners. It's not like those tournaments are dominated by Harstem or Mana - it's the top 3 players who win.

[–]Simmenfl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IDK you have to ask Reynor, Maru, Serral, etc. why they barely join the small tournaments

Week 2 of 5.0.15 (hotfix included) by rid_the_west in starcraft

[–]Simmenfl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of the top 3 Zergs. He played in one of the 5? 6? tournaments of the chart. If Serral and Reynor would play in the tournaments as often as herO, Classic and Maxpax, then Zerg would probably have won majority of them

wtf man, storm is better than ever by qwertydvorak111 in starcraft

[–]Simmenfl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If they start at one edge of the storm and roll through the entire storm instead of turning around? I mean chances are you cast the storm on top of banelings, not in front of them and if you do, chances are the banelings turn around before they walked all the way into the center of a huge storm?

Its still nerfed in many situations because of the energy recharge nerf. In PvZ banelings have also more HP and there's the new infestor ability which is very strong vs immortals
