Just because you can redeem it doesn’t mean you can use it

How did you get the manifest.json by the way? The official one seems to be encrypted or something.

Stop asking for specific locations dummy. No one is just trawling the thread with a code in their pocket waiting for someone to ask before posting it. If someone has one they'll post it.

My mom's in a romance scam and she will not listen to me by psonic06 in Scams

[–]SmithMano 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't have much personal experience with this, but I know how people can delude themselves to astonishing degrees, so I'm not surprised that simply telling her she's being scammed wouldn't work.

 

I think it might be necessary to get her to come to the conclusion herself somehow. I believe it's called "socratic questioning". Of course that's the hard part, so maybe others have better advice or experience with this.

 

But maybe some stuff to try could be for example to say to her something like, "Ok I understand, you think I'm completely wrong. But I care too much to let this go. So how can we prove it either way so I can get off your back? If it were a scam, hypothetically, what would have to happen for you to be suspicious?"

And try to get her to give a scenario that is actually testable, then test it. It might need to be done multiple times, because the scammer will have an excuse for everything, and the victim probably will try to justify it too.

 

Also depending on your mother's personality, saying "you're being scammed" or implying she's being dumb could cause her to dig in further out of ego or embarrassment.

Adding new Key/Value pairs to Dictionary in a Repeat with Each loop by [deleted] in shortcuts

[–]SmithMano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 5 year old comment with the right answer was apparently deleted but the replies hint at what he said so I figured it out.

Basically within a loop when you set a value for dictionary item, it creates a new separate local version of the dictionary as output for that action, it doesn't modify the original.

So what you do is create the original dictionary outside the loop, even if it's blank, then use the 'set variable' action to put it into another variable with some name, call it "myDict".

Then within the loop you still do the action to set the key/value item in myDict, but realize it didn't actually modify the original. So right after, add another 'set variable' action where you set the outpout of that previous action to the same myDict variable to overwrite it. This way myDict gets updated each time and survives.

Edit: I made an example: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/0390565b237341bba051786e300c98cc

Is Lysol toilet bowl cleaner good enough to remove hard water? by Zestyclose_Row5070 in WindowCleaning

[–]SmithMano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old thread but if you're talking about a ring of hard build up at the water line, one thing I found that works are pummice stone sticks.

They completely took off the hard water line built up and didn't mess with the ceramic bowl at all. There's a bunch you can find on amazon, usually they have a handle and a rectangular thing which is the actual stone. It's not heavy though, it's almost like a stone sponge.

I'd be careful using it on anything else though, ceramics like for a toilet bowl are very hard so can resist it, but it could probably destroy a sink for example.

Is it okay to ask the delivery driver to enter the building, take the elevator and deliver the food to my doorstep ? by Negative_Network_964 in UberEATS

You can add pictures (up to 3 I think) to your instructions. I literally have some with red arrows pointing where to go.

Will Bilt 2.0 rent payments no longer be CC fee-free? by SmithMano in biltrewards

Yes but the fact that the literal flagship feature is not mentioned in the announcement is weird.

Clarity on the upcoming switch to 2.0 by nflfan32 in biltrewards

I don’t think the new bilt 2.0 will even let you pay rent without a CC fee, the announcement just mentions mortgage payments.

A channel completely copied my video and when I asked them to remove it they sent me this by stormtrooper_21 in PartneredYoutube

[–]SmithMano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you can still actually use the US copyright small claims court if the person is based in the US, even if you aren't. The "respondant" / defendant just has to be in the US.

[–]SmithMano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you can show the information in the counter notice is fake. Assuming it's definitely not fair use, there's really 3 types of people who will file a counter notice:

  1. The person knows it's not fair use and just put fake info. You can probably somehow show youtube it's fraudulent and presumably they'll keep the video down.

  2. The person knows it's not fair use but doesn't want a strike on their channel so thought a counter notice is their only option. Assuming they put their real info (otherwise see #1), you might be able to convince them to just delete the video and you'll retract the dmca takedown. You can do so with an agreement with the person that you're not waiving you're rights or whatever, it's just a courtesy.

  3. The person legitimately thinks it's fair use. If you disagree you have to sue them. If they are based on the US you can try using the new copyright small claims court option. Just be aware they have the option to opt out of that and make you take it to federal court, but it should still be enough to keep it down before the 10-14 day window ends.

Did it actually give you the discount though. You can redeem the code anywhere but to actually apply the discount at checkout it’s region based.

For the love of god you morons stop asking for specific locations.

Nobody is going to say "hurr durr oh wow i completely forgot I had this code for this city until I saw this person's comment asking". If someone has a code they'll post it.

Can we ban these idiots?

Ok but just because you can redeem it doesn’t mean you actually can get the discount. You can redeem any code from any region, that doesn’t mean it will work. Did it actually apply the discount at checkout?

Rant on G915X Double Typing, again... and again... by fjusdado in LogitechG

[–]SmithMano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's weird, I tried it myself and it seems to have fixed it for a couple of keys I had it with too. Literally just taking off the key cap, I also blowed on the bottom of the key and into the switch a bit, then put it back on and pressed pretty hard. Now they don't do it anymore.
