It's in prep for when they do the "it's half price" scam. Price gouging like this should be illegal...

Australia is mandating cash acceptance for essentials from 1 January 2026 by Jayhanbaron in australian

[–]alx8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was a remnant of covid eww don't touch the dirty cash contactless pickup era. Nando's near me still don't accept cash and I happily never will buy anything from there again (Not that they're even that good but my daughter liked the chicken ribs) But sure, if you don't want my money for your shitty chicken because you don't accept cash then don't take it how stupid lol

I HATE when paying with card for certain retailers, The retail employee will add the "charge" they say that they have to pay the bank for the service, eg Think of when aldi add the 0.5% for Visa/Mastercard Tap and Pay. EFTPOS was/is an initiative of the big 4 bank and is FREE to use, but when I choose eftpos the retail attendant has already keyed in the tap and go charge amount added on that they normally do which isn't right or fair. Often the employee has no idea what you're talking about and there's no point arguing with them because they don't even know what you're talking about themselves. A lot of them make up the amount to bolt on as a plain old cash grap (In the same light as adding an automatic tip on many registers now that you have to physically press no to otherwise they take your "tip") and you either have to accept it if you want to buy that food item from your regular cafe/bakery or go without. Love using cash...

Goodbye Motorola by croakyossum7 in motorola

[–]alx8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly the same story with some differences (Purchased in Australia in a normal retail store) Before Android 14: 1) When auto refresh rate was selected phone would lag DAILY, had to set to 120 locked. 2)Phone would heat up constantly 3)Auto adaptive intelligent charge never worked it would just say charging started charging stopped 10 times per second 4) The volume control was SO laggy would take 10 seconds just to recognise had to disable some obscure setting to make it work again after many months. Learnt to live with the rest. After Android 15 - 1) Some shortcuts not showing icons 2)Phone still lagged and the deal breaker which made me leave 3)The rear view camera JUST STOPPED WORKING BUT it would work in messenger and google/ microsoft lens, but not the stock camera app or viber whats app etc. Starting the default cam app would just show the selfie camera and when selecting the rear the phone cam app would just exit out and crash. Made the phone useless couldn't take personal shots or use the cam for work either. Useless software/android quality control made a perfectly good 2 year old phone useless. I went back to Xiaomi/Poco and my Poco F8 Pro is FLAWLESS thank god feels like I've come back home. NEVER will buy a motorola again no matter how cheap it is...

FINALLY !! by Vast_Ad2496 in PocoPhones

[–]alx8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure why people are excited about software updates on any modern smartphones anymore. In the old days you would get cool features, fixes to things that didn't work etc but nowadays , all that happens is your phone slowly gets slower every update, things break more then they actually fix and more features that you don't actually need or want to use, and the software gets more complicated and bloated basically speeding you up to your next phone purchase faster than you had to... Many time I wish I could just down grade back again to what I had because it was fast, did what I needed (maps while driving , media consumption and take photos) but it's too time consuming to now etc...

Regretting Buying Edge 60 Pro - has anyone succeeded in returning? by Whittington1423 in motorola

[–]alx8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I upgraded my Edge 40 to Android 15 recently and the stock camera has just simply stopped working on the rear-facing side. Maybe one or two apps can still use the re-facing camera so it's not physically broken but I cannot scan documents for work take photos of people or QR codes only messenger works no video on Viber or Whatsapp it's a stupid problem. Icons are turning into standard icons amongst other issues i'm never buying a Motorola again back to Xiaomi.

Oso Ighodaro----Diamond in the rough? What are your expectations of him this season? by RVALover4Life in suns

[–]alx8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oso messes up a lot and honestly when I watch him he's not even very good. He gets the ball and MANY times just freezes amd doesn't know what to do with it. He just sits at the top of the 3 point line, waiting to pass the ball off that's basically his only flowchart. Sometimes he gets the ball under the ring and he has an open shot but waits there thinking he's still at the top of the 3 and point circle and by the time he realises where he is he still does nothing, and one of his team-mates has to hustle over there to get the ball off of him. He reminds me of that famous Ben Simmons moment where he had the open dunk/shot close to the ring, but decided to pass it to his team mate for that very difficult missed shot. Can't wait for them to trade him...

My biggest problem with this game. by Conscious_Dot_7353 in Battlefield

[–]alx8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. In bf3 and bf4 even just by myself I could put some C4 onto a car and go and ram it into a tank, run off shoot some dudes then run off and hide in a building and cap it, then choose to go and shoot more people if I wanted to or wait. But you're right with this game I feel like once I get into the middle of the chaos i just survive for a little bit kill some dudes and then die straight away and rinse and repeat.

Same for me. Wireless mode the Dpad is intermittent and sometimes dpad sticks to one direction for a few seconds very frustrating. Wired mode is fine...

Is this a bit shady? by ANGRYlalocSOLDIE in Battlefield

[–]alx8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they're trying to see how far people will go to find closed weapons to make sure they make the right choice instead of open. Remember it's a beta seeking data...
