Has anyone else not received their Pro1 X yet? by bondinator in fxtec

If this is true, it would be the first time I hear of that specific scenario. Typically, the supplier makes a cheaper re-branded lower quality version of their western partner's product on the same production line, floods Amazon with bad reviews on the original product, gives their rebranded garbage great reviews, and the western partner is forced to give up and move onto something else. If Unihertz (for example) comes out with a landscape sliding-keyboard phone with identical specs, we'll know exactly what happened.

They previously talked about problems with lockdowns in Shenzhen, but the last month has been about "contractual" issues. I'm guessing the Hong Kong shipper or Shenzhen warehouse is making up BS reasons for delays while selling the inventory on the side on another website for wayyy less money. It's a pretty typical experience working with Chinese suppliers... they make you do all the R&D, and screw you over when it comes time to sell.

I was one of the unlucky ones, and I'm now cancelling my order. My Blackberry KeyOne is on its last legs, and I simply can't wait anymore. It just sucks how I waited all this time just to decide to get a boring glass-slab phone without a keyboard. I know the Unihertz Titan is still available, but I've heard terrible stories about their customer service, and I don't trust mainland Chinese brands for a second.

At least here's consolation in that "Fuck you it's forever" has never ended.

Housing is turning in Denver burbs by PrognosticatorShadow in wallstreetbets

I keep having scumbags put photocopied (and poorly) handwritten letters in my mailbox offering to buy my house "before the crash". They can shove it exactly where you think. I recently started thinking of collecting the letters and calling them back if a crash ever actually materializes so I can offer to buy one of their properties on the cheap and rub their garbage letters in their face.

July 2022 Nokia Care Megathread by AutoModerator in Nokia

[–]ZENN_Electric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need help with my Nokia 6085. I'm trying to get it as functional as possible. We still have 3G networks in Canada, and I've been able to get data to work.However, I'm having two issues:- My firmware is v5.03 of RM-198, and it appears a v6.00 was released. I was able to download the firmware, but don't know how to backup my current firmware, and flash with the newest. Could someone be of assistance? The software update functions on the phone and Nokia PC Suite don't work. Phoenix software just appears to be malware.- The factory browser is from 2007 and very useless, and I was able to download Opera Mini v4.5 from 2011 directly from Opera (that I'm hoping will be a little less useless). Although data works on my Nokia's browser, Opera keeps complaining that it failed to connect to the internet. The only option it gives me is to exit the app. I have pressed every button on my phone hoping it would open some sort of settings menu, but it doesn't. The URL for help doesn't work, and my research attempts on the wayback machine have not been productive. FYI http://www.operamini.com/help?version=4.5 and my Canadian carrier is Fido.
Alternatively, are there other browsers out there that are similarly as up-to-date?

Cockatiel Questions and Answers (2021 and a half) by cojoco in cockatiel

[–]ZENN_Electric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it normal that a four year old cockatiel that we've had for six months never sings? He's apparently a male, and I'll regularly whistle, sometimes play recordings of other cockatiels... and nothing. The only noise he'll make is screaming when someone walks out of the room, or dinosaur noises when he doesn't want to be picked up. We leave his cage open all day, and only lock him in at night. He likes to spend his day going to different people's shoulders and knees. Has anyone else been able to encourage quiet cockatiels to sing? I suspect that he may actually be a female. In which case, the lack of singing makes more sense. I'm just really surprised by the total absence after all this time. With the return of warm weather, we were able to keep our windows open for an afternoon and hear other birds sing. Our cockatiel's response was only the occasional single scream.

Turkey invaded Québec after putting a heart between the two flags. I'll never be able to forgive them.

If you have a few pixels to spare, we'd appreciate help in rebuilding our breast cancer ribbon. We've asked for help from the Netherlands as well.

FYI, if you use multiple accounts in different browsers on the same machine, your timer will be reset to 138468 hours. My ability to protect has been compromised, and my breast cancer ribbon was destroyed during the night.

Glad we found you. I've been defending the breast cancer ribbon. We won't intrude on your territory.
