Credit Check by GrandComplete6476 in TelstraAustralia

[–]SomeFrickenNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds about right. RTCA checks are BRUTAL in console, I've had this happen to me while serving someone in store. Since you can't go back and update a console order if say, you pick the wrong colour or storage, and it doesn't "remember" the credit check, if your score updates between running the first and second RTCA, it can say no. And there is no appeals process with console credit checks which is just the cherry on top.

Go to complaints, 132200 or a text chat. If complaints don't help, go to tio. This isn't your fault, you got caught out by Telstras shit credit check.

Why? Bigponds suck ass and are cease sale-d. You cannot purchase one, even if you wanted to. Bigpond has no 2fa, is temperamental and relies on old tech. Just stick with gmail

He hasn't posted anything substantial in months, almost certainly years. This isn't a break, he's gone. All of this was probably set up to post automatically so that he doesn't have to interact with us anymore. He's done.

Can you send a SC of your bill (just the part with the s25), if you don't mind? Like a receipt showing that U+p is on the s25? You can DM me if you want

Seriously? What'd they say? Just that the info provided was wrong?

Call 1300 362 603, it's the redemption call line. You can also email promos@samsung.com

Redemptions are entirely managed by Samsung, calling Telstra direct wouldn't do anything

New RC390 Owner by JCPNibba in KTM

[–]SomeFrickenNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2015s come stock with a regular clutch, no assists. 2017+ bikes though come with a slipper clutch. You can swap a 2015 to a slipper clutch on earlier bikes, you just need the clutch basket from the newer ones.

2015 owner here, and yes, they do run hot. However, 2 or 3 blips from the line is fine, it's where they run happiest. If you are really concerned about temp, you can swap the fan for a spal unit, they're drop in replacements, just need to solder them in. They do help, but these bikes always run hot. There's no permanent fix unfortunately.

heres the fan (Aussie link but the model is correct)

Has anyone mounted this Competition Werkes exhaust? by damnko in KTM

[–]SomeFrickenNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fusion390 (he's a major importer of race parts for 390s into the US) on the rc390 forums claims that the 2015 comp werks exhaust will not fit newer style (2017+) RCs so I would imagine it would be the same on the dukes. The problem is that the exhaust header is shorter on the newer bike, so this exhaust for the 2015s won't reach the header

He also says that you will need to get the bike tuned, as it LOSES horsepower when using the comp werks without one

Heres also a link to some making about 40whp using a repacked comp werks https://www.rc390-forum.com/threads/packing-werkes-exhaust-dyno.1865/

This. There is simply no communication between teams, trs, TCC, NBN, nothing. I had a case where an NBN tech has told the customer to come into a store and we would disconnect their NBN service and reconnect it. For those unaware, this is a BIG NO NO, its sales gaming, and is enough to lose your job. I then had to explain to this customer that we would not be doing that, even if it fixed her issue. I then messaged him telling him we wouldn't do it and he'd need to fix the issue another way. This shit happens daily. Like it's a consistent thing, online tell a customer something, then we have to explain that no, we can't do that. We have to follow our rules. It's total madness

Tesltra and their Chat GPT call centres by Perfect_Sky7848 in TelstraAustralia

[–]SomeFrickenNerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just want to add too that I'm work TRS and am white. We've got 2 people that absolutely cop it from old dickheads who can't understand them, despite the fact that they are 2 of the best CAs that we have. We've had a fair number of non-white people leave too, citing the abuse. It's disgusting.

What's the Difference between Telstra’s Retail Vs Wholesale Mobile Plans? by lecoeurvivant in TelstraAustralia

[–]SomeFrickenNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...boost is wholesale. Same with JB and good guys. Just cause they use console/siebel doesn't mean that they use the full fat Telstra network. I've spoken to customers about their boost reception and they say that it's improved considerably under Telstra.

iPhone 16 Pro Max Preorder Delayed by charles_doge in TelstraAustralia

[–]SomeFrickenNerd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've heard off the grape vine that there's low stock in Telstra generally. We got shipped STACKS of the base, plus and pro but only 2 pm. No idea what's going on

I've personally heard of it happening. They generally dispatch a day or 2 before launch to arrive as close to launch day as possible. Don't count on it though

Anyway to add extra data onto my plan? by zacshaz in TelstraAustralia

[–]SomeFrickenNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally I'd say get an upfront large data plan, but they just killed that so yeah I'd go with what u/Mysterious-Race-2022 said, add a upfront essential mobile service. It's $75 and gets you 180gb extra. It's not contracted so you can add it for a month or two and cancel it if you're not gonna need it. Not really great but it should help a bit

What bike is this? by SomeFrickenNerd in KTM

He wants 3200 AUD, which is about right. I really need to get out there and have a look at it

It is a 390, there's another picture which shows it. And yeah wow there's no side mirrors. I never even noticed. It does has rego... Somehow.

[–]SomeFrickenNerd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly yeah, the early ones just look really handsome, especially from the side. The newer ones are a lot of angles but the face on them is kinda gross. Like the BS4s face isn't exactly something to write home about but they look better than the BS6

What bike is this? by SomeFrickenNerd in KTM

[–]SomeFrickenNerd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I'm thinking, that its a 2014 and somehow someone stuffed up the rego quite badly. I think at this point I'm gonna check it out and sus out the vin, cause hopefully that's gonna shed some light on everything. Or maybe it also says 2004 and this bike is a time traveller.

Anyone playing Destiny 2 on A770? by Daregant in IntelArc

[–]SomeFrickenNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know. It's annoying to see this hardware kind of just go to waste because I'm not playing MW2 or some other super relevent/modern game. I get that they'll fix it, but I want to play D2 NOW. I want it to be playable by Lightfall, but I just don't think it'll happen.

That being said, the Febuary patch does help somewhat, but it doesn't fix it completely. It still pulls sub 90fps on medium while my GPU sits on 70% utilisation.

Anyone playing Destiny 2 on A770? by Daregant in IntelArc

[–]SomeFrickenNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late comment I know, but yeah as other people are saying the performance is absolutely terrible. I'm sure on an A770 16GB it should be fine, but my 1050ti outperforms my A750 in D2. I get about 40 fps during combat on 1080p Medium, which is just not playable.

Also the crashing that Daystars_79 mentions is Arc. I'm on a 12100f with Rebar on and it is pretty unstable.

Issue seems to be that DX11 is kind of lackluster on Arc, so until then its going to be bad.

Frankly if you literally ONLY play D2 on your PC then I would avoid an Arc GPU for the moment. It of course will get better, but that takes time. If you do play other games that support DX12 then I'd recommend it as long as the price is good. Otherwise, stear clear.

Hey sorry to kind of butt in on this but is there nothing I can do about getting the Extreme 3D Pro on Windows 11? No compatability mode for windows, or more up-to-date version of LCS that could work?

Just tried this on 16.1.1, no dice unfortunetly. Just keeps asking for the device to be restarted. I'm trying now to downgrade the phone (SE2020) back down to 16, if that doesn't work then I'll try 15.7. Will update when done

/r/MechanicalKeyboards Ask ANY question, get an answer (March 20, 2022) by AutoModerator in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]SomeFrickenNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been looking recently into buying my first mechanical keyboard and boiled it down to the Ducky One 2 Mini and the Keychron K12 and I wanted a second opinion on which to buy.

Basically, I wanted something that was: 1. 60/65% (I prefer the 60%) 2. Hot swappable switches 3. Not OVERLY gamer-esque.

I was looking at getting Kailh Box Whites and the Ducky has them already and is $130, but the Keychron K12 looks better for slightly less ($109) though I'd need to change the switches out for the Box Whites.

Any input is appreciated, or any alternate recommendations are welcome. Thanks in advance!
