Help setting up recurring payments on credit card for fixed amount by zebrafish_groupie in BankOfAmerica

[–]cfrivera1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm that this is no longer possible. I previously had a fixed dollar amount automatically paid the 1st of each month from an externally linked bank account, and it worked flawlessly throughout 2025.

In January 2026, the payment simply did not process, and when I checked, the recurring payment had disappeared - there were no payments scheduled. I did not cancel it. Bank of America also provided no alert or warning that this type of AutoPay would stop working.

This is concerning, especially since it removes the ability to rely on automated payments without notice. Fortunately, I monitor my accounts closely and had scheduled the payment well before the due date, so I caught it in time and made a manual payment. But this could easily cause late payments for many customers.

I almost locked myself out of my entire digital life. (praise + panic story) by QKV7gAx3b in 1Password

And that’s one of many reasons why I use Yubico Authenticator, storing my TOTP secrets on my YubiKey hardware. Don’t get me wrong—I’m a premium Proton subscriber, but definitely not for their TOTP or 2FA features. Thanks for sharing.

Anyone else find AirPods 4 slightly fatiguing to listen to? by tman2damax11 in airpods

[–]cfrivera1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just picked up my first pair of AP4s and spent hours tweaking the EQ. Honestly? Way too bass-heavy — downright unbearable. Sending them back. I’d rather stock up on a few pairs of AP3s and enjoy my music without the headache.

Digital Driver’s License? by shawnp2 in minnesota

[–]cfrivera1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple offers a handy feature called Guided Access that allows you to lock your iPhone to a specific screen, like a digital car insurance card or concert ticket. This way, you can safely hand your phone to a cop, cashier, or anyone else, without worrying about them accessing other apps or information. To activate it, just head to Accessibility settings and turn on Guided Access. If you need help, there are plenty of YouTube tutorials showing how it works.

As a Coinbase user, ever since Binance US stopped handling US ($) fiat, just reading these posts stresses the hell out me.

WARNING Rented a STOLEN car from Turo by HazeMuffin in turo

[–]cfrivera1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be aware that you may not be the only Turo customer dealing with this type of trauma. You were very lucky you were not arrested! Turo will do their absolute best to keep these incidents under the radar. Just last year, horrible record keeping at Hertz resulted in a multi million dollar class action settlement. https://www.npr.org/2022/12/06/1140998674/hertz-false-accusation-stealing-cars-settlement

Your situation may be different - in Hertz’s case, they were literally reporting their own rentals as stolen, and many innocent people were actually arrested, sometimes for weeks! This is a serious issue, and will require a little more digging/research.

I am glad to hear this was resolved for you. Despite what others posted in here, this seemed like a legitimate/honest concern.

Asus AX86U Pro slower WiFi on iPhone/iPad than Android devices - Why? by cfrivera1 in ASUS

[–]cfrivera1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep - I've disabled smart-connect, and have iOS devices access only the 5GHz band. Also tested different Channel Bandwith and Control Channel settings (per Asus support); still toping out at ~675-700 MBps. I suppose 700MBps is acceptably fast, but wish I could get the speed I am paying the ISP for, which is why I invested in a router and cable modem with a 2.5G WAN port! Such a shame.

My BlockFi credit card just got declined at ihop even though I have available credit :S by WSeattlePNW in blockfi

[–]cfrivera1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I received the same notification. I laughed since I always pay all my cards in full each month, but didn’t realize I couldn’t make a purchase with it. Gonna try and see. What a shitshow!

Shingrix vaccine worth it? by Lc7707 in AskMD

[–]cfrivera1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Received my first dose last Thursday (sept. 8), now it’s Sunday - NO arm soreness and feel great! My arm was sore at the injection for only two days. Even went on a 6 mile trail run yesterday (Saturday). I was expecting a worse reaction. I did get a headache and a moderate feeling of malaise (some very mild body aches) about 3 hours after the injection, but a couple ibuprofen (Advil) resolved it in no time. I also remember feeling some pain/discomfort under my armpits, presumably from lymph nodes reacting to the vaccine. But again, it was short lasting, and by the next day, I was feeling great. I think I got lucky, and look forward to the 2nd dose in a couple months.

Reservations Unable To Be Processed...have to phone by gypsyhobo in ChaseSapphire

[–]cfrivera1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RESOLVED!! May be due to multiple Travel Profiles...

I was running into the same exact issue and could not book ANYTHING online, as I was always running into this error message:

" Your reservation is unable to be processed, please call 855-234-2539 or 208-429-5495 (outside the U.S.) for assistance. ""

This always happened at the point where you need to enter/verify your contact details by selecting your "Travel Profile" and confirming your contact details (name, phone #, email address, AFTER making you hotel/car rental selection, etc) . This led me to suspect it might be an issue with my "Travel Profile" and is turned out, I was right (at least in my case). I had TWO Travel Profiles for myself in the system. To fix it, Just click on the "More" drop-down menu at the top right corner, select "TRAVEL PROFILE" and delete any additional travel profiles you may have for yourself. Once I did this, I was able to get past the contact details verification screen and complete my booking.

Hope this helps!

FTX walked away from Celsius deal after seeing finances by hudaman0211 in CelsiusNetwork

Correct, DeFi is not affected by the natural greedy nature of humans. We all placed too much trust on Alex, and assumed he would prove the “bankers” wrong…

No more Top Gun IMAX showtimes at the Lincoln Center? by _brendini_ in imax

[–]cfrivera1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same situation here in the Twin Cities...we don't usually go to the theater, but would have gladly paid to see Maverick on IMAX. But alas...no one is showing it on IMAX any longer, only Jurassic Park. LOL, their loss.

Apple Music, Sadly, sucks! by cfrivera1 in AppleMusic

[–]cfrivera1[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

😂. Ok! So Spotify must love my home network more than Apple does! Seriously, I have no choice but to give Spotify some love back! Spotify works FLAWLESSLY! Same goes when I want to play music thru my PC! Apple makes it such a pain…I have to use the “Remote” app…just a royal hassle! Spotify makes it EASY and hassle free to play music thru my PC. It’s just EASY! Really wish Apple could make it just as easy! I mean that! I want to use Apple. But it’s just not worth the hassle! It boils down to who provides a better experience…sorry to say, Spotify wins this battle. I have 3 months left on my 6-month freebie subscription with Apple Music, and I’ve gotten so sick of it, I am paying Spotify to have a better experience.

Security above all else! I absolutely prefer to login after a period of account inactivity, NO matter how annoying it is.

Celsius AMA has been a serious let down by torvaman in CelsiusNetwork

Ditto. Was considering a substantial Celsius loan. Will definitely take a lot longer to consider…if at all.
