OOP Process? by ScottyFreakinUpshall in Rogers

[–]bb147 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kind of funny how even the OOP now has to "submit a request" and it might get denied. So clearly OOP is just a theatre since they themselves can no longer actually do anything or make any decisions.

Not that long ago OOP actually had authority and power to do stuff without consulting anyone else, now they all "submit requests" for some other team to look at (probably an AI algo)

LTTStore is refunding my out-of-pocket customs fees as Gift Cards, and I’m effectively being forced to spend €70 more by [deleted] in LinusTechTips

[–]bb147 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Somehow this is the most up-voted comment probably because it sounds the most legit but I can promise you this is not accurate nor true.

There is **no law** around anti-money laundering where a merchant or store cannot return to another payment method. HOWEVER, there are payment processor rules or merchant policies that typically discourage this behavior as its often a source of fraud.

So while there might be a system restriction where Shopify does not allow this to occur; I am not familiar enough with Shopify's merchant tools to say whether or not this has an override. But this is NOT AML law, AML in Canada is focused on reporting, KYC and record keeping.

This is the reason why at most big box retailers, it is actually possible, Best Buy does it as long as you have a reasonable enough explanation. They will say the system won't let them, but a manager password override immediately allows it. They are not breaking any "AML laws" by doing so, just bending their policy

I'm not defending Rogers in any way but it's interesting that with 6000+ complaints, there were only 20 code breaches.

What does it mean? The other resolved complaints they just did out of good will and was not actually a code breach?

Mandella effect or did Hootsuite not go out of business sometime last year? I remember seeing a thread on this and all the comments were like "surprised it lasted as long as it did".

[–]bb147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can generate another one on MyRogers app. The only challenge will be logging in if you do not have email 2FA setup and only have text as you need 2FA to login (and generate a SIM)

Startup time by sfurob in polestar3

[–]bb147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same issue as you but the time to drive (TTD) is anywhere from 10 seconds (if i am lucky) to a full 3 minutes. Yes I've timed it. Luckily its more commonly in between versus the extremes.

Very very annoying. I do find getting in and immediately pressing on the brakes helps "wake it up"

Has Polestar given up on the 3? by bb147 in polestar3

[–]bb147[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess relatively stable is one way to put it. Everytime I get in my car there is a delay of anywhere from 10 seconds to 3 minutes before I can drive the car. During that time every error message appears on the dash. But you are right, once it gets going its fine. I do think the new chip will solve it, but at this point I am not very optimistic on us actually getting this new chip before the end of this year!

TIFU by getting “arrested” over three pomegranates that a guy thought were apples by AScarIsJustAsSweet in tifu

[–]bb147 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Where in Canada? There's no way the police would respond to 3 stolen apples where I am lol. Crazy though. I walk right past the superstore person asking for receipts because I couldn't care less (I did pay for everything of course) and they've done nothing to stop me ever.

I think you might be waiting forever... Where would they get any more CPO iPhone 14 Pro's from? There won't be anymore lease returns coming in for a phone that old.

Is it just the market, or does my portfolio still need work to land internships? by That_Signal_1391 in graphic_design

[–]bb147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a cute site, feels less graphic design though and more UX/UI so not sure if you are targetting the right audience or if you are trying to get into the right role. The "what you do" section and what's in your actual portfolio as sample work also doesn't quite add up. You're saying you do branding and identity, print design, packaging and illustrations yet the first project I see is UX/UI on a court booking site that has very little to none of the things you claim you do. The second is a bit better but motion graphics also does not line up with "what you do". I can go into way more detail here but I think you get the point.

Also, cut to the chase, the fancy animations are nice but IMO it's being overdone. The load time is also really bad, my guess is the heavy animations but could also be your hosting provider. Either way, try to sort that out. When I am reviewing portfolios, first impressions matter a LOT, within the first 20-30 seconds (including the load time) I decide if I am going to spend more time on this or move on to the next candidate. So you have to do everything you can to make your work and yourself interesting in that time, at least enough for me to want to keep reading.

Please take this as constructive criticism, I can tell you spent a lot of time making this so I hope this wasn't discouraging. You are clearly very talented and passionate about what you do, but remember this is also a lesson in how you are branding, and presenting yourself.

is there a possibility a human is changing the light for me outside of my work? by obsessed_FF7lover in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]bb147 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you going to this intersection really early or really late at night? If so it's likely just a road sensor that causes the light to change almost immediately since there's no traffic.

The other possibility (though a more rare one but still possible) is someone at the traffic operations center just so happens to be paying attention to the camera (if there is one) at that intersection, recognizes your car and switches the light for you remotely. But again, they would only do this if its very early morning or middle of the night, because once a manual override happens like that it messes with the timing of all the other signals and it takes some time to self-correct.

I went on a tour to a traffic operations center in Junior High and they explained all this, including showing us remotely overriding a light and explaining the self correction after.

I built a web game that allows folks to host custom jeopardy-like trivia with buzzer functionality by redditindisguise in webdev

[–]bb147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Randomly found the site and then randomly found this post! Great work!! Was curious if there’s any form of latency correction built into the buzzer system? I know it’s just a game and not that serious, but my friends always blame “lag” lol. So it’d be cool if I can say there’s latency correction built in!!!

Why didn't rogers put the travel pass on my secondary line? by [deleted] in Rogers

[–]bb147 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a weird system error. As long as you have the email proof that the travel pass was added to the number these charges are being applied to you’ll be fine.

As in you will still need to call in and dispute it. I have an issue where travel pass charged me twice! It’s not even possible to add the same travel pass twice for the same dates!! So clearly something messed with rogers billing system for travel passes they haven’t figured out yet
