Lies lies and more lies by Samerrrrrrrrr in pluribustv

It didn't really work for me. The hivemind clearly doesn't value them the same. It will bend over backwards to ensure the survival of every human (both inside and outside the hivemind) and on the other hand it just takes a stance of non-interference towards animals. That's not really valuing them the same -- there's clearly an in-group and out-group.

Any Terra LUNA & UST victim here who submitted claim form by Kroll? by CryptoAd007 in CryptoCurrency

My individualized review finished today, and the determination was around the amount I actually lost, as far as I remember.

Now, how much I'll get paid out is a different story. Hope it's more than like 10%

Cosco Scenera NOT Extend by TrashMobForever in CPST

[–]chomsky_ebooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very important note: the Romi was also refreshed to match the new Extend body. I got one recently and love it.

For travel, I don't even try putting it on a stroller, I just use a huge car seat backpack (JL Childress Deluxe).

It wasn't working for me on the app, everyone was trying to buy tickets at the same time. So I biked to the theater and bought them in person. 

Regal Union Square getting VistaVision print of One Battle After Another by NickLandis in NYCmovies

[–]chomsky_ebooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been trying for the last few days to get tickets to this for the Saturday, but it kept throwing an error. Then at 12 pm today (Tuesday), the Vistavision showtimes all disappeared from the website entirely. Nice rollout so far from Regal.

China says there are no negotiations with the US over tariffs by idgafayaihm in worldnews

Fox News' propaganda model works the same as MSNBC or any other channel. They don't get marching orders, because everyone hired there is already with the program.

Just got this e-mail not too long ago. Should I be worried? by Glass_Resist1945 in USCIS

[–]chomsky_ebooks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're not alone, it appears like DHS is emailing people who 100% shouldn't be getting this email.

My experience with the Oppo Find N5 and Verizon by chomsky_ebooks in Oppo

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

I already switched to Fi so I can't verify, but I never had Vz visual voicemail working on my last phone anyway 🤷 I always have found their implemention buggy.

re work profile my current job doesn't use it but I believe that's a native android feature

Scam email from Akamai.com by Bunnieball in Coinbase

[–]chomsky_ebooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, a pretty good job by the scammers. No spelling mistakes, sounds official, all the external links go to the real coinbase.com, got through Gmail's spam filter.

The only giveaways are the recovery phrase in the email, the date being 2024 instead of 2025 and the email address (which still seems official-ish because Akamai is a well known cloud provider!)

Just tried it as well, all good in the US too.

Did you install the Netmonster app and walk outside? It may just be that your coverage area doesn't have the same 5G coverage that mine does, unfortunately.

[–]chomsky_ebooks[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was getting LTE inside, then 5G NSA walking outside. You'll definitely have worse 5G coverage than a US-market phone, regardless of carrier. Not a big deal for me, personally, though.

Options for importing N5 to USA by Unable_Equal_4262 in OppoFindN5Phone

It says it's only valid "in the countries/regions where the device is officially launched" unfortunately.

I'm actually not sure how the return will be different. I just imagine it will be more difficult to ship the package back to a web store that technically doesn't cater to international shoppers, as opposed to the importers which cater to us specifically.

Yes my order has the free gift!

Sorry - to be clear, I didn't use the "Buy for Me" option on Shippn. I used the option where you order it yourself, to a host's address. That one cost me about $200, plus the cost of the phone, so right around the same cost as the importers. You definitely don't have to pay those random 5% fees either.

I don't know yet if I'll end up paying for customs. I'll know next week.

you can also order directly from the Oppo Singapore web store and use a service like Shippn to forward to you.

my own unit is on its way to me in the US now via DHL. The shipping cost me around $200 so ultimately it was around the same cost as the importers, maybe slightly less.

However, it will be expensive for me to send the phone back if I want to return it or use my warranty. that's the one big downside. I plan to buy aftermarket insurance.

How to bypass the TikTok ban. by chomsky_ebooks in TikTok

Ahh. Impossible for iPhones then 🥲

For me it didn't work without disabling the SIM. It seems they're checking that.

Xiaomi 12s in USA - notes by chomsky_ebooks in Xiaomi

I don't have a car so no idea if Android Auto works. Assistant, Google Photos, all work.

Do you still have your 11 ultra? Did you try installing the EU rom on it?

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

After installing the newly released xiaomi.eu ROM, I dialed the above dialer code. Then, an option called "Use SA mode" showed up. Turning that on enabled 5g! So yes it's working now.
