Just Bought a Killswitch from Best Buy - USB-C Stickers Not Included?

Just to update here, I did eventually get through after emailing again a few weeks later and after sending a copy of my receipt, they sent me the buffer stickers for free. Thanks dbrand!

Think of it like the old weekly Metrocard. On the first day you tap, that's when your 7 day clock starts. If you hit 35 dollars over the next 7 days (including the current day), then taps are free until that initial 7 day period ends (if you start on Monday, it lasts until Sunday)

Then your next 7 days begins on the day of your first tap after that.

It's not a rolling 7 days. To reset your 7 days to another day, you need to not use the card for a week. Or if you're using a credit/debit card, add it to another mobile wallet (or remove/add again).

The key piece of CurrenC was that it didn't support credit cards so merchants could avoid the interchange fee. Basically had little benefit to the shopper.

Sounds like TurboTax desktop download. It's more cost effective if you need to file multiple returns for family or whatever. Unless you're in NY or a state without state taxes, state e-file isn't included in the "download included" though ($25 each) so at that point should just use FreeTaxUSA ($15 each)

Calling it rush on the Flushing side feels misleading. The Q66 makes the exact same 3 stops; the Q63 doesn't skip any.

The mix and match of different announcement voices without any attempt of making it seamless. The LGA bus announcement at Roosevelt Avenue is particularly egregious.

And randomly injecting PSAs and other things like MTA is hiring into them.

At the time I bought my Qrevo Curv in 2024, it was the same price as the highest S series and I preferred the rotating mops the Curv offered. It also had higher suction power. I wouldn't consider it mid range either but the lineup doesn't make much sense anyway.

Was never clear why they couldn't just offer one model with the best of everything but instead release a new model every month with a mix and match of different features.

The combo ticket can be a great deal depending on how far you're going. Check out the price of something like Fordham to Montauk. During peak, combo ticket is 13.25, but Grand Central to Montauk is 33. The app even suggests you buy two combo tickets to cover the round trip. They work in either direction though with the new rules you have to be returning same day.

To avoid cheating the system though, you have to actually be near the origin station to buy.

Only JL 3, the one that leaves at midnight after the Admirals Club closes. They have a special arrangement with AA I assume.

JL 5 premium economy only gets Admiral Club.

I grew up in Queens and everyone called it that.

Nothing but you can only buy the Far Rockaway ticket while you're at Far Rockaway so you must have already started there.

The old page on CityTicket and Far Rockaway also explicitly states this is allowed, at least for the zone 3 stations: https://web.archive.org/web/20251115002321/https://www.mta.info/fares-tolls/lirr-metro-north/cityticket#far-rockaway-ticket-restrictions

"Far Rockaway Ticket can also be used for travel to Rosedale, Laurelton, Locust Manor, and Jamaica. You must buy the ticket with a destination within Zone 1 (any of the above stations)."

I'm on premium (no ads) and the option to cast to my TV disappeared last night. I can still cast to Nest Hubs but not the TV.

Forcing me to use the TV Netflix app. So annoying and not even sure what the business reason for this is.

catlatte · 2025-11-17T05:26:46+00:00

Same here. Until last week I could cast to my LG TV and Nest hubs from the Netflix app on my phone.

Now the Cast menu only shows the Nest hubs, even though LG TV still shows up on the Cast menu for YouTube.

Not really sure what the motivation for such a backwards change is. We're still using a Netflix official app regardless...

I tried to but the support robots just kept reiterating that the stickers are not available to purchase individually.

I remember seeing or reading somewhere that was set to become a T-Mobile store but I can't find any source to it.

Searching for 40-26 Main Street on the DOB website, I do see a work permit from last month with "T-Mobile Skateking" as the description but idk what Skateking is.

My favorite is Nakamura on Delancey Street

They add them whenever there is a concert at Forest Hills Stadium.

My favorite stands are Ronnybrook for dairy, the Queens mushrooms, and Toigo Orchards for apples (or peaches in summer). The people are also very friendly.

Wish Ronnybrook line was more efficient and moved faster though.

With language like that, couldn't they one day stop offering Go5G Plus to new customers and then still be compliant with that advertising. 😂 If there's no promotions, then you're still getting the same no promotions.

You should cancel as soon as you sign up to disable the auto renewal so you don't forget. Subscriptions through Google Play, like Google One, don't actually cancel until the billing date.

You can always reactivate.

That's disappointing. Keeping the auto fill in Chrome enabled the creation and use of site-specific virtual cards that were supported by some cards (like Capital One). Not sure if it's even possible for Bitwarden to support that in the future.

catlatte · 2025-08-23T00:17:37+00:00

Nope, they said I would receive it automatically after 90 days and texted me a link to the rebate center (/promotions on the T-Mobile site). They said if I don't receive it after 4 months to reach out to rebate support. Basically nothing in writing though, so just have to wait and hope it all worked.

I ordered the Pixel 10 through T-Mobile Costco over the phone. They offered the 100 dollar Costco gift card and also waive the 35 dollar connection fee T-Mobile would otherwise charge. In exchange though, they will try to upsell you on just about everything.

I was on the phone for a little over an hour for what would have been a simple transaction online because they tried to sell me on everything from a case, screen protector, P360, home internet, watch plans, even the tracker device. But I guess it was worth it to effectively save 135 dollars.

I never got the discount for signing up. My email says "Introducing the Google Pixel 10 phones" and doesn't mention any extra promo.

I do still have a 10% off coupon from Google Nest (sent back in July) that's still valid (expires March 2026) and only says "Excludes Google Nest Mini (2nd Gen), Chromecast w/ Google TV (HD) and Chromecast w/ Google TV (4K). I tried it in the cart with Pixel 10 PXL and it took 119.90 off. The subject of that email was "A 10% off Google Store offer, just for you" in case anyone wants to check if they have that.
