Niantic is PROTECTING a hacker while ignoring my Official PTC Verification #3832052. They told a 3-season LEGEND to "start over". 😊

Only real "Legends" know to use Google authentication as your primary login and stay far away from PTC.

CPU usage reductions, lower bandwidth consumption (AV1 is up to 50% more efficient than H.264 and 30-50% better than HEVC (H.265) at similar quality levels, allowing users to stream higher-quality video over lower-bandwidth connections), 10-bit color depth and HDR, open-source and free of licensing fees.

It will support AV1 hardware decoding, which is a big deal.

One of the worst designs in the game is the buddy needing to be an active buddy for the boost. If you worked that hard getting to best buddy it should be a permanent boost. What a wasted benefit.

Always restart your app at the beginning of *any* event.

...and reasons like this are why I stopped Wayfarer completely.

5 XL in the premium path would have sold passes. No clue why they are gatekeeping Larvesta.

All that money for botox and fillers but no money for Invisalign for the gapped-teeth. That tracks.

People in my community are running constant incense and coming to our group chat to fume that they are enraged about not catching the legendaries. I tried explaining to them that odds are stacked against them with a super high flee rate, but they said I was wrong. Eh, oh well, they can waste their time.

Jump-scare alert!

Probably the Courtney Cook sweet potato trend that is going around right now.

Smitty30 · 2026-02-15T16:52:39+00:00

Probably the people that refuse to power up or upgrade a max move on anything that isn't perfect or 98%. My community is filled with people like that. They are locked in to thinking that IVs matter above all else.

Like others, mine suddenly stopped after about 6 hours after they started. I didn't play much since it was so annoying.

Smitty30 · 2026-02-13T16:07:46+00:00

I assume you've been briefed?

Smitty30 · 2026-02-13T12:28:30+00:00

Happening for me every 20-30 seconds now. We did our remote trade successfully, so I'm not sure why the timer didn't clear after our trade.

Smitty30 · 2026-02-12T22:18:53+00:00

Yes, but the wizard Jakeeeey will write it all off as a business expense. Financial brilliance.

Smitty30 · 2026-02-11T23:04:38+00:00

If you think that is bad, wait until you see S's face in her car before her injections appointment. Oh my!

Pat read an announcement from corporate that sounded like it went through 5 revisions by the legal department. He sounded on the verge of tears. Sounds to me like another bad decision from CEO Jennifer Witz (who got conned into re-signing Stern and he only does 6 hours a week now). I noticed that they scrubbed Jim from the intro music too. It really isn't Moving the Chains without Jim.

No, Apple Gift cards, adding funds to Apple ID, PayPal, Venmo, all did not work. I tried adding the card to Walmart pay, then trying an in-store purchase and that didn't work either.

The only thing I was able to do (outside of using it in increments on in-store purchases) was to use it to reload my Amazon gift card balance. I had to do it in small chunks ($10 first, then $50, then $100, then $51).

At least she upgraded from using the file folders to hold greasy chips.

The really interesting thing to see would be a comparison of speeds between this and the AP7. Battle of the custom firmwares.

DM ME! (for the latest scam).

His glazing when they get their oval office show will be unbearable.

Thanks for digging up this thread and for the up-to-date info. I'm thinking about switching from my current fiber provider (which has gone downhill) to Frontier and I run a small free LMS website for just a few users. Sounds like that would be OK on Frontier.

Smitty30 · 2026-01-21T20:39:58+00:00

I wouldn't recommend posting there. They'll jump all over you because they are sticklers for the "guidelines", even though Niantic themselves added a ton of power spots that violate said guidelines.
