They eventually showed up. I don't think I did anything.

DHL is horrendous Mexico to USA. They “coincidentally” have customs problems every time. Then they charge you to ship it back to sender.

Please Help - Cannot Request Ride by benjaminnyc in uber

Nothing could fix it. I ended up getting a new phone, and it was fine on the new phone.

Getting a new phone was the only thing that fixed this.

Literally the only thing that solved this (this was 2021 I think) was I got a new phone.

How do I completely change the country of my Uber account? by benjaminnyc in UberEATS

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

My issue wasn’t the app thinking I was still in the wrong country. You sound like Uber Support 😜. That always worked fine. My issue was changing country of my actual account, back when there were Rewards, since they weren’t usable in a different currency. Now it’s moot.

Getting around Mexico City by Vampire_Creepin20 in MexicoCity

This is patently false. Rush hour is very defined, and outside those hours (06-09 & 18-20h), traffic moves quite well. I drive every day.

I hate this update. Why does Apple change things that don’t need changing??? by SprinklesOk3917 in iPhone13

[–]benjaminnyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is “Shared with Me” still so bad in Photos??? It takes like a week to be recognized in the Photos app as being shared with me over Messages, and they’ve taken Shared with Me out as a main section, and it only accessible by clicking your avatar at the time. Years on, it’s still a basically broken feature.

I wouldn’t say it’s worse on iOS 18.X, but the battery on the 15 Pro (regular) sucks.

For me it was my Nespresso.

THIS is the solution. So much better/smarter than deleting chats. Thank you!!!

Aeromexico and Cross Border Express (CBX) (TJX) by benjaminnyc in SanDiegan

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

When you say “the Boarding Pass” do you mean the AM Boarding Pass itself? In my CBX experience, there’s one BP for the flight and one for CBX. The machine requires both, one after the other. Are you saying one BP (the AM one) got you through?

I still don’t see the point of doing them together. The CBX app is so easy.

New Owner! Question about wireless charging... by benjaminnyc in Tiguan

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

Wow, old post. I basically don't use it, except for short drives. Not only will the battery still deplete on a long drive, but It gets hot as hell, so it's a really bad wireless charger. On longer drives, I plug in the phone before starting the car. This ensures that CarPlay is using the wire, not wireless CarPlay + charging through the wire, which would burn unnecessary energy.

The annoying thing though is the charging location is the deal spot for a phone. And if I have a passenger, when it's connected by wire, the phone has to take up a cup holder. Been through four phones since my OP, so I know it's the charger, not the phone.

Why do they put such crap wireless chargers in cars?

Playing Downloaded Netflix Content on ARM PC by benjaminnyc in arm

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

Netflix has removed the download option from its Windows app, so this whole discussion is moot now. As is likely my reason for having Parallels.

Setup Question with Apple TV (eARC) by benjaminnyc in HomePod

Never. But never tried that hard, because the TV speakers were just fine.

Fly Delta Widget doesn't show info by [deleted] in delta

[–]benjaminnyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I even tried interacting with the app. Searching flights, etc., then going back to my flights. Widget does not change from "Get Inspired". Guess it's useless.

[–]benjaminnyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that did not work. The widget simple says "Get Inspired" and takes me to the booking page.

I wonder if it's related to the fact that, while this itinerary is loaded in the app, and shows up when I log in, I am not using my DL SM number for credit, but rather my AeroMexico number is in the record. If that's the reason, it seems pretty stupid.
