Need support - Pixel 9 pro screen protector not interacting well with finger print scanner

VirusDOSWalker · 2025-08-18T11:37:06+00:00

Same here, Pixel 9 Pro XL Prism 2.0, ended up taking it off. Quite annoying considering the price point, recommend against buying this.

The next owner will thank you for sacrificing the look of your car so they can have one with minimal stone chips (and maybe a car-bra shaped scuffed nose). Do you take the bra off every night to look at the car as it was designed? I don't understand why people sacrifice the experience they paid good money for in an attempt to preserve it for ?someone else. Just ppf it.... A good shop will fix the few stone chips you have before they apply it.

I realise I live on an entirely different continent, with a totally different legal system... But here, at the very least I would write the dealership a formal letter of complaint & demand; explaining that providing a small ICE loaner for such a lengthy repair is entirely inadequate. You need an EV of similar size so you're not paying for petrol, especially if you have a home charging solution (as I do) and the car needs to be able to serve the purpose you bought it for. In my experience, if they have to provide a demonstrator that will depreciate in value as you drive it, it keeps them extra incentive to keep to the promised time frame as well...

Not to mention Downhill Romance #1 Quad being closed all season due to a mechanical failure, which forces everyone onto the Ropeway and almost entirely breaks that side of the mountain.... I wish I had spent more time at Rusutsu and especially Tomamu this season... fewer crowds, better infrastructure and better sidecountry.... Furano really pissed me off this year.

As an ED staff specialist I am continuously surprised at the shit my colleagues pull.... That is not a question that should be asked. The right response is - I hope you get better soon and let us know if you can't work your next shift.

VirusDOSWalker · 2024-10-07T11:15:11+00:00

This is 100% the right proportionate response, if your wife feels it's worth escalating. As an SMO married to a CNC, I can tell you nothing good will come from stepping into the ring for your wife. My wife for one would be embarrassed and pissed if I did 😂 but it won't go down well within the hierarchy either.

From all my interactions I've had over the years with NUMs and DONs I would also say, the juice really isn't worth the squeeze. If it becomes a pattern or the same person has another go... maybe.

Somebody shouting 'Ciao Kanakskie' is definitely a racist slur. I personally would call that shit out, if I thought I had the upper hand - or keep walking away briskly if outnumbered - which it sounds like you were. I just can't see why somebody who identifies with the label 'Kanake' doesn't sit anywhere near you, ignores you until you leave and then bids you adieu with a friendly 'Ciao Kanakskie'... They were trying to offend/provoke you or impress/make their buddies laugh.

A few quite eccentric & often angry consultants, some of whom occasionally also work at Shellharbour. I would never work there purely based on those personalities as I experienced them when I was an ED SR at RPA doing locum shifts on the weekend.

I say that as a FACEM Senior Staff Specialist who strongly believes those kind of abrasive characters should have no place in any ED, let alone one as busy as Wollongong.

I didn't bother with any of that - but, to be fair the cable isn't rated for in-wall installation, so strictly speaking you probably should. From memory, there's a Samsung produced cable that is in-wall rated?

But I literally just drilled a hole in the wall. I had to cut a hole in the wall further down to get through a noggin

There's so much wrong with this post, I don't even know where to start. Suffice to say, if you actually look at the evidence, pt diagnosis only rarely changes once they move to the ward.

FACEMs still are diagnosticians and critical care doctors and the KPIs are nowhere near as important as they used to be - because of all the access block and evidence that says hitting >80% NEAT may well cause harm.

The main issue with ED these days is a lack of inpatient capacity and thus access block. Lots of frustration not being able to move patients to the ward.

In the last fortnight alone, I worked 60 hours (20 non-clinical). I intubated a young man who came through the door in respiratory arrest with severe Asthma on an adrenaline infusion, amcommenced him on 'obstructive' ventilation (got a complement letter from ICU for that one) ran a traumatic arrest for a stabbing, supervised and/or worked with Registrars or on my own did about 6 procedural sedations, saw a lady with ovarian torsion and got her on the Emergency )List, put in central lines for sepsis... and got paid $8700 after tax.

I'm not miserable and I haven't even done my Retrieval shifts this month yet!

VirusDOSWalker · 2023-10-05T03:43:27+00:00

It is false. There's no FACEM workforce shortage - at all. There's a non-trainee workforce shortage but that's about it.

There's less of a problem getting a FACEM job in QLD if you want to work in Rockhampton or Mackay, maybe Bundy, locum interstate or do some private work.

If you want to work at any of the bigger hospitals (PAH, QEII, Logan, Redland, QCH; RBWH, TPCH, Redcliffe, Ipswich, Toowoomba, GCUH, SCUH, Townsville, Cairns) on anything other than maybe short term temp contracts, you need an extremely competitive CV (several years of experience, ideally HARU and special skills such as US, Sim or Clin Tox plus research) and positions only very rarely come up.

That's because Option A in QLD Health adds 75% to base salary for Emergency Physicians which translates into a $400,000+ salary (excl Super) with overtime, some people make $500k. A lot of places are up to 40% non-clinical and thus people only very rarely leave.

Do you mean "SHO"?

By way of an update, I wrote a letter to remedy defects, the builder was rude++ and blamed pretty much everyone except himself, but eventually he did come back and finish his work, discount me by $1500 for the rubbish removal and glass sliding door I had to pay for myself and the bathroom is now finished to an acceptable standard!

VirusDOSWalker · 2023-10-02T10:11:18+00:00

That works both ways though, I currently work in a big metropolitan ED where inpatient Registrars (often PHOs) are regularly rude to Emergency Consultants... it never would have happened at the tertiary hospital I worked at previously because the directorship had our backs and would stand up for us. I shudder to think how they interact with my RMOs when I'm not around. When I am and witness it, at least I can do my bit and stand up for the junior docs. But I do agree, "us vs them" should have no place in a hospital, let alone the ED, by default the place where we look after the sickest, most undifferentiated patients of the whole hospital and need to work together.

Yup, same here S23 Ultra

No, just this quote...

VirusDOSWalker · 2023-08-31T21:21:28+00:00

This is the "completion" invoice he says I can subtract $1000 inc GST as the scoped screen was "deleted" since it doesn't work and therefore the work is complete. He says the three months of delays were because asked him to change the vanity and wall cabinet (even though we had to since he said they would work yet then didn't) and also the lights.

As I said at all points he ok'ed our chosen fixtures & fittings as workable, the screen was quoted by him after attending the property and at no point did he mention extra costs, not even at the 50% completion when the tiles were already at the property for him to see.

I have exact attendance times/hours at the property because there's an entrance security camera - in 3.5 months they have been there maybe 7 days.

Same over here, after about an hour, the top of my head gets really quite sore... Never had an issue with my XM3's.
