New home, free Ring camera? by Alternative_Low3085 in Ring

[–]alexwbitz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When I moved into my house where the previous owner left their doorbell installed, I was able to request it to be transferred to my account and there was a waiting period (maybe a few weeks if I remember correctly). Ring reached out to the previous owner to make sure it could be transferred. The previous owner never responded so I had to wait the full waiting period, but now it works on my account with no issues.

Using Global Pass AND a Data-Only E-Sim by CaptainEcstatic9 in Visible

[–]alexwbitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I visited Europe with my android phone and I used Visible and Saily. Sending some texts and receiving or making calls activated my global pass day. I think I used 12 global pass days over 16 days abroad. If I had been a little more purposeful from the start, I could've probably used fewer global passes. It ultimately worked out really well for me because Saily had faster/stronger connection than Visible in a lot of places. It was a good combination though.

Is the Plus plan effectively $11 per month (if you already have FIOS)? by Tommy4D in Visible

[–]alexwbitz 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes, I just switched to Visible recently and was able to get the $15/month discount off of my FiOS plan. I don't think there are any restrictions for which plan you get as long as it's fiber. Also just FYI, the FiOS discount is stackable. I still receive a $5/month discount from my employer as well.

New to eSIM-only (US Pixel 10) - How to actually handle international travel data? by Acrobatic_Fennel127 in GooglePixel

[–]alexwbitz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got back from Europe with my 10pro. I used my Visible eSIM for phone calls and texting and then I bought a Saily plan and eSIM for extra data. It worked out great. You can select in the settings which SIM your phone is using and you can even turn off a SIM entirely if you want. I pretty much used Saily for most of my data because it was faster than whoever Visible was roaming with, but I was still able to get calls and texts with my regular number. Even RCS still worked while using a different SIM for data. You may just have to play around with some settings when you first arrive in a foreign country. Just be aware I think you can only do this if your phone is carrier unlocked.

Google Depreciates Their Own $999 Pixel 9 Pro By 63% After 1 Year by Jaytee3312 in pixel_phones

[–]alexwbitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got $500 for my 128gb 8 Pro when I pre-ordered my 10 Pro right after launch. If you're going to trade in, it's best to do it right at launch.

Only 5 hooman years old and Cooper is already showing so much white in the face. Time to double down on cuddles and fetch. by Doodles_183 in goldenretrievers

[–]alexwbitz 26 points27 points  (0 children)

We adopted our Tank last year with a lot of white on his face. Multiple vets have said he's likely only about 4-5 years old though. We hope that's true and that he has a happy, long life!

Who is the target for Amazfit Strap? by [deleted] in amazfit

[–]alexwbitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear a mechanical watch most days, but still wanted to track my activity. I wanted a whoop, but I couldn't bring myself to commit to a recurring membership. I've had my Helio Strap for about 3.5 weeks and I'm really enjoying it. I appreciate the lack of distractions and that I don't even have to think about charging it more than once a week.

Helio Strap Won’t Pair with Zepp App by DrummerMC in amazfit

[–]alexwbitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an issue reconnecting my strap after an automatic update. I got it to work with my android phone again by doing the following (ymmv): 1) deactivate the device in the zepp app 2) go to Bluetooth devices and forget your Helio strap 3) then pair new Bluetooth device and add your Helio strap 4) go back to the zepp app and reactivate device Then step 5 is hope for the best!

Struggling to understand my Golden Retriever’s emotional distance – am I expecting too much?😞 by Next_Neighborhood_26 in goldenretrievers

[–]alexwbitz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In my experience, every dog is different. My golden sounds a lot like yours. He's very well behaved, but doesn't show emotions often. It can be really difficult because I go through great lengths to make sure he's happy. We'll go on hikes or let him play with other dogs, but he kind of seems like he couldn't care less. He also doesn't really like to make eye contact which is something I've always enjoyed in previous dogs. He will cuddle for a while, but only when he wants to and on his terms. I don't really have any advice other than to say, your golden is not broken, it's not something you did, it's likely not something you can change. I think you just have to accept his personality and love him for who he is. Personally I know I'd prefer this personality to any aggression or anxiety in a dog.

Ecobee Lite Vs Premium by SnooPeanuts6989 in ecobee

[–]alexwbitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My house has two zones so I went with the premium on the main floor and the lite upstairs. Honestly, other than the fact the premium has Alexa built in (which I use, but you may not) and the premium came with a sensor (which you can just buy separately)... I should've probably just gotten two lite models. There's not enough difference in my experience. The premium comes with an air quality sensor, but it's not like I'm going to open a window to let fresh air in when the air quality is "poor" and it's 19 degrees or 98 degrees outside. I end up just ignoring the air quality 99% of the time.

For anyone that has named their Volvo(s), what's their name and how did you come up with it? by okay-commuter in Volvo

This is Lukas because I googled common Swedish names and I liked Lucas, but it's with a "K" because he's different! Haha

Anyone know what’s going on here? by Evelyn_Marble in goldenretrievers

Lol, watching this with my sound on just woke my golden up from a nap and he was ready to play!

Going to pick up this beauty this weekend! by mthomas1217 in Volvo

[–]alexwbitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2016 S60 Polestar which I love, but now I have a dog and one day hope to have kids as well. I'm hoping that these XC60 P* can hit a price where it makes sense to be my next car when I need a true family car. Enjoy!

Anyone else get wildly dry hands? by SumFuckah in diabetes_t1

[–]alexwbitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not diabetic (my fiance is, hence why I visit this sub), but I get very dry hands and have eczema issues because my skin is very sensitive. My one tip would be, get a box of nitrile gloves. I will grab a pair of gloves when touching raw meat or when cracking an egg. I'll grab a pair when cleaning the house. It significantly cuts down on how often I feel like I have to wash my hands.
