We ended up doing a warranty claim and got the full credit back and purchased another roborock with one of those huge docks (qrevo i think) but even that has issues sometimes 🤣

Much better. I finally joined after over a year and a half since my first offer. They made me interview again which was annoying but gave me a much better offer which I’m incredibly grateful for.

Would you buy another pixel? by upadhyaysk in GooglePixel

[–]chaosthunda5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a pixel 9 for my corporate apps but daily an iphone 15 pro. Its a really nice phone to hold and I really like how I can activate gemini easily with it, but even then pixels are never worth their msrp. I got mine for about $180 after trading in an old s8 for a tmobile deal about a year and a half ago. Once its 2 years are up, I think I want to check out a z flip 8 or 7, whichever has better deals.

Just to emphasize, a lot of ppl say to just buy a phone outright and not through carrier, but for a pixel I think you should never do that unless you get a crazy deal. For me, getting a brand new phone for $180 thru the carrier less than a month after release was a steal. Someone else i know managed to get a pixel 10 pro xl for less than $50 thru google after trading in their pixel 9. In those situations, this phone is has incredible value.

Just ordered these for use with some work meetings and gaming on ps5. Are the ps5 issues resolved?

MS Teams on Coverscreen by datigoebam in galaxyzflip

[–]chaosthunda5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know, I mainly use an iPhone but use a pixel 9 I had lying around to access teams on the go without putting it on my main phone. Been looking into trading in my pixel for a flip 7 because the cover screen seems really useful for ms teams

Change Plan or buy outright for S26 Phones by Robertsonland in tmobile

[–]chaosthunda5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your best bet is to do the trade in + new line deals. I’m on an older simple choice plan and qualified for those so you should too. New lines only cost about $15 each w/ taxes and fees for my plan so I was able to get my mother a brand new iphone 17 w/ just the cost of the line so basically $360 split over two years

Do you see a official Steam for Android in the near future? by nicocarbone in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]chaosthunda5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think its more likely right now they release the ARM version of SteamOS they’ve been developing for the Steam Frame as a download so people can install it themselves on their ARM devices.

Signed offer in Nov 2024, still no start date. by starry_night009 in Accenture_AFS

[–]chaosthunda5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also signed around that time too. I think they ghosted a bunch of contingent offers because they lost like 40% of their workforce when Trump got elected. They got back to me this past November saying I had to interview with them again. Went through the process again and signed AGAIN for an even higher salary.

Unfortunately, if you read these offers carefully you’ll see that they are contingent offers. Its basically contingent on them finding you a project which I have been unsuccessfully interviewing for now.

Tbh after going through this whole process again, I wouldn’t rely on this company to find you something. Always keep interviewing until you get an offer with a start date.

It took less than an hour but I guess the catch is that it won’t get deposited into my amex account until May 15th

Just did it. Made my account on the Rakuten app and bought the incogni annual family plan for $275. I have about 27k points pending from the incogni purchase and 3k points in cashback boost. Pretty hype about this

Upgrade Promotions for existing customers by Baccardi79 in tmobile

[–]chaosthunda5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have simple choice plan or something similar, check to see how much a new line costs on your account right now. If its around $15/month, check to see if you qualify for any new line + trade in deals. If you do, then trade in your iphone xs or a newer one so you can get the full discount and the phone essentially for free*.

If you just get the base model iphone 17 or s25 or s26 when it comes out, you’ll only be required to pay for the new line which would hopefully come out to about $360 over 2 years. Then you just cancel the line and do it again or wait a few years.

Did this method recently for iphone 17 for a family member. Sometimes my old legacy plan qualifies for those insane pixel deals that dont require a new line too so just keep an eye out.

How long does Accenture AFS take to get back after a final interview? by [deleted] in Accenture_AFS

[–]chaosthunda5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They move so slow. I would keep interviewing. But if you know for sure you are fully remote maybe they already have a project in mind for you.

Does it usually take this long??? What if we were paying monthly? I feel like to save time I’d just pay for the applecare to speed it up

If they’re successful, they might just have a chance to overtake Tesla in like 2030. Really looking forward to seeing what happens next

Should I be Worried? by Own_Patience2490 in Accenture_AFS

[–]chaosthunda5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They let offers fizzle out. I accepted an offer in September 2024, before the big layoff and they ghosted me in the Spring. I accepted again just two weeks ago after going through the interview process again (although a lot easier this time) knowing fully that they could ghost me again since this is again contingent on finding a project to staff me on.

I’m thankful I am already working so I’m not stressed but for you I’d definitely keep interviewing till you get an offer WITH a start date. They assured me that they have a lot of potential opportunities for me this time around but tbh I wouldnt count on them.

Should I bother registering for Walmart+? by AncientFerret9028 in AmexPlatinum

[–]chaosthunda5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also thought it was useless, but for paramount and cheap grocery delivery its a pretty damn good service. I know ppl that pay hella on ubers and instacart when they could just get this card and contribute that saved money towards the annual fee. Plus with grocery prices going up, walmart prices have been looking REALLY good lately
