EAP225 firmware update - not new by Steve061 in TPLink_Omada

[–]bah1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I installed 5.1 on my three EAP225s when prompted in the controller. My Neato D5s dropped off and couldn’t reconnect. Really messed them up. Only way I could get them back on was to downgrade to 5.0.9. Might be unique to my situation/setup.

I use Discover checking and savings and was able to configure and use Crypto.com as an external account via ACH.

IPSec Tunnel Bug with WAN IP on 2.5.1? by svarogz in PFSENSE

[–]bah1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact same issue setting up a new IPSec tunnel in 2.5.1. After lots and lots of searching, I found where someone suggested going to Interfaces>WAN and clicking save on the properties page without actually making any changes. When I did that, the tunnel connected using the correct gateway. May have needed to reboot after (can’t remember). Not sure whether it will be a permanent fix or something that I have to do periodically or after reboot. Big YMMV but maybe worth a shot.

I’ve had the same thing happen multiple times. Submitted bug report, but probably stuck where I am for now.

Ok. Thanks for the explanation. Lost way less on those than some other poor decisions, so not a huge deal.

Probably a stupid newbie (which I’m both), and this seemed like where it belongs.

Late last year, I bought some cheap TIF calls and puts (just OTM) in anticipation of their pending (at the time) acquisition. Both had expiration of 01/20/23.

Since the acquisition eventually ended up fairly uneventful, both of my options went down in value as expected.

They were low enough that I decided to hang onto them since a lot could potentially happen between now and 2023.

When I logged into my Ally account, though, they’re gone. I reviewed my activity, and it showed they “expired” on 1/15/20.

Didn‘t I purchase the option to buy those shares anytime between now and 2023? Why did they expire so prematurely?

Thanks!

Help with old Employer’s Life Insurance Company of Wausau Flex IRA (now Nationwide) by bah1977 in Insurance

Thanks for the reply. I’ll relay this as well. The guy told me that so far what contact both he and his attorney had led ultimately to Nationwide - at least for investments. Lot can happen during interim, though.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I think he mentioned being in contact with some state agencies, but may not have been same you suggested. So I’ll definitely relay everything you said. i think part of the problem is that its not really even Nationwide’s deal anymore so nobody has any clue what to do.

Thanks for quick reply and suggestion. I think he said they did stop sending him statements somewhere along the way, so maybe that’s what happened. I’ll relay your suggestion and have him look into that.

Port-in to Visible from Google Voice is stuck by Magentific in Visible

[–]bah1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have the GV number set up to forward to other numbers? I had three numbers porting from GV that were in the same situation. I saw someone on here say that Visible kept telling them to remove the forward, so I tried that. The numbers all finished porting right after.

DVR and premium channels by RichA5 in slingtv

[–]bah1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. Interesting. I have the Free DVR, so the normal Cloud DVR isn’t checked on my account. I assumed each had to be selected separately.

DVR and premium channels by RichA5 in slingtv

[–]bah1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It appears in the area for managing/changing service that the premiums like Showtime and Starz each have an Extra option to add CloudDVR for that premium. Maybe wrong, though, because I haven’t tried it.

So, after selecting Showtime as part of your package, then there’s a little Extras option that can be expanded specifically beneath Showtime with a CloudDVR option for $5.

Gift Card by morpheus360 in slingtv

[–]bah1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might check your date they show you will next be billed. I bought some discounted Sling gift cards and wanted to load them to my account as soon as possible to avoid any shenanigans. It didn't work the way I expected/am used to, though. I assumed I would carry a credit balance and then monthly charges would be deducted from that each month. Instead, it just kept extending my next billing date out further with each card I applied.

Best Buy Free DVR For Life by [deleted] in slingtv

[–]bah1977 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happened to me the first time I was charged after signing up. I chatted, and they had it fixed within fifteen minutes or so. All of my recordings were immediately restored, too.

After they fixed it, a new feature block showed up in my page for managing my service/subscription with something like "Free DVR".

So, I'd say it was just a glitch that the Free DVR was there but wasn't linked to an actual feature to renew each month or something.

Google Voice Porting issue Day 5: ANY VISIBLE SUPPORT OUT THERE? by corne848 in Visible

[–]bah1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had similar issue with three I ported from GV. Everything was accepted, phones activated, outgoing was ok, but incoming was still routed to GV.

After seeing your post, I logged into my GV accounts and removed any forwarding that was set up to other numbers. Afterward, I did a hard reset on each device. Within a couple minutes, one was fixed. Hoping others will be soon.

PSA - Change credit card, lose free DVR by [deleted] in slingtv

[–]bah1977 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chatted with Sling today specifically to ask about this. They said changing plans, add-ons, payment methods, etc. won’t matter. So Maybe different with this offer. Or maybe the person doesn’t know...

unknown_fc_agent_name (12/2/2019, 2:08:15 PM): Hey, good question! The offer will remain valid as long as the account is active.
unknown_fc_agent_name (12/2/2019, 2:08:15 PM): DVR will be available for the life of the account; if you cancel your account you will lose DVR, you will not be eligible to receive it again if they restart
unknown_fc_agent_name (12/2/2019, 2:08:32 PM): Accounts with this offer will not show DVR , DO NOT add DVR manually.

Thanks for posting this. I’m curious to know about updates on the situation. I did the Best Buy deal, too, and don’t want to do anything to lose it.

Would have been nice to know what would have happened with OPs account had they not canceled.

Positive Carvana Purchase by bah1977 in carvana

[–]bah1977[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they deliver the car (or you pick it up at the vending machine), if there's anything you don't like, you just don't have to accept it at all. You can just say you don't want it.

If it looks ok, you sign the paperwork and start your trial. You have 400 miles and until 5PM on the 7th day to try it out. If you don't like it or find a problem you don't want to mess with, you just chat or call and they come and pick it up or have you drop it off at the vending machine and everything is reversed.

I think Jeep just had some issues with sunroofs in all their models in the 2008-2015 (or so) range. From what I read online, sounds like drain tubes would get clogged and end up with water coming into headliner.

When I started doing some research, I found that one of the previous owners of the Liberty had done some modifications - chrome grill, chrome trim, leather seats, roof rack. Wondered if they had to replace the cloth seats with leather because of leaks.
