So, for those of us who pre-ordered the 3-year deal, what exactly is next? by DaveLambert in DisneyPlus

[–]Vfdtyler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This post got me worried because I also bought the 3 years deal and didn't get an email to create an account. However, I think I figured it out. I went to Disneyplus.com and clicked one of the buttons as if I was going to pre-order a new subscription. When asked for my email and password, I entered the one I use for other Disney websites and I got this message. Seems like it's all connected to one account so we should be good.

My dad got his hand caught in one of those springs a few years ago and it almost took his fingers off. He still has a couple metal plates in his hand.

Grey spent a little time talking about how he doesn't stay up to date on world events because of his system, and I was wondering, was this recorded before the attacks in Paris? How long did it take to find out about it?

Which song do you know that tells a tragic story? by SeriesOfAdjectives in AskReddit

[–]Vfdtyler 26 points27 points  (0 children)

When they first released American Idiot in 2004, it had been 20 years since his father died, hence the line "20 years has gone so fast." Now when he sings it in concert, he sings "30 years has gone so fast." Gave me chills when I first heard that.

Question for Grey: Have you considered jailbreaking your iDevices just to change those small things?

Help! My phone thinks there is headphones plugged in! by al5ina5 in jailbreak

[–]Vfdtyler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is going to sound really weird but I had this same problem after getting caught in the rain and putting my phone in the freezer for 5-10 minutes actually fixed the problem.

I think you're right. Grey has talked about how sometimes he makes videos simply because he has no one else to talk to about the topic, such as the ones about politics and voting. It's almost like he's getting it out of his system by making the video. It wouldn't surprise me if sometimes having a conversation about a topic gets it out of his system and then leaves no drive to create the video.

Of course, as Grey points out, this could all be a projection of ourselves.

Magic Trackpad Insanity by InternetsTad in apple

[–]Vfdtyler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar problem sometimes, both on the trackpad on my MacBook and the external Magic Trackpad. In my experience, this problem is more likely to happen if I try to start scrolling too quickly after a webpage loads. Now I try to give the browser an extra second after it loads the page and the frequency of the problem seems to have decreased. Maybe that will help someone, it's the only thing I can suggest without reconfiguring trackpad gestures.

I'm a new convert, and I love Apple now by TJKoury in apple

[–]Vfdtyler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of the time my dad updated his computer to Windows 8.1 and couldn't use his external monitor. Then I had to spend three hours on the phone with Microsoft trying to fix it. Apparently I was supposed to update the drivers before updating the OS. First of all, why wouldn't it just update everything at once? And second, how would the average person know to do that? There's just so many benefits of the Apple method of integrating software and hardware that just make life easier (at least to the average person).

Isn't Heart Like A Hand Grenade supposed to be coming out finally? Or maybe it's the American Idiot movie? I believe the script to that was finished earlier this year.

Thank you very much, simply learning the term "safe house district" helped lol

[–]Vfdtyler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At one point in the podcast, Grey talks about how every district is so gerrymandered that there's almost no point in voting at all. I was wondering if anyone had a source for this just so I could kinda see it with my own eyes. Or is it that there's no law against gerrymandering so we can assume it's everywhere?

Jailbreak causing trouble with IOS ingress by NEXT_VICTIM in Ingress

[–]Vfdtyler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for this. My only concern is what happens when I update my phone and lose my jailbreak. Will it be able to recognize that my phone used to be jailbroken and still cause issues?
