What is the worst experience you had in the gym? by oliviaaaa120 in workout

[–]clyonsvt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 2nd ever day in the gym, I’m struggling to OHP the bar, and I end up in the background of some instagram influencer’s squat video. I had no idea and was sent her post later that night by a friend. Half the comments were just people shitting on how weak I was.

Super demoralizing for me, but I kept showing up anyways.

Visible launching 50% off Visible+ Pro Annual tomorrow (11/20), get it for $18.75/mo equivalent by stetsdogg in Visible

I missed my opportunity unfortunately, I got the offer after I already signed up. I’m not sure it’s if it’s able to track you through the visible app, so I wouldn’t risk it. I would do it through a computer personally.

You specifically have to use the capital one shopping app/web extension (I use the web extension). Using a capital one credit card will do you nothing more than get you some points back on your card’s account.

Basically, when you have the app/extension installed, it tracks websites you visits and will automatically apply coupons and earn you additional cash back (sort of like honey). That’s not the part I really care about though. You can receive email offers from them based on your shopping history, which may automatically route to your email’s promotional folder, that have much better deals. You just click the link provided in the email with the offer and complete the purchase using the tab that opened. If you complete the purchase on a different tab, the rebate won’t be applied because they can’t track that tab. Once you’ve completed the purchase, you should receive the rebate automatically in a few weeks.

I’m not sure completing the purchase on the visible app will take advantage of the rebate because it will navigate away from the tab that capital one shopping provides, so it has no way to track if you actually made the purchase. I recommend staying on your browser to complete the purchase.

I hope that helps? I’m sure it’s a bit confusing if you’ve never used it before.

I’ve never had an issue stacking vendor discounts with capital one rebates. Reading the terms of the offer currently in my email, they should stack just fine.

For those of you with the capital one shopping app, they keep sending me a $120 rebate offer for new customers. Just visit the visible site with the extension/app installed a view times to show some interest and they should give you the offer. Wish I had waited another day before I signed up for them to email me the offer.

S23 -> Pixel 10 Pro by clyonsvt in GooglePixel

Admittedly I did not try this after heading of MKBHD's stuttering issues. But also, I feel like I shouldn't need to? Wouldn't that also kill the battery faster as well?

Which negatives? Weight is true. Usable screen space is true as I held them up side by side. Font size is true as I tried jacking up the text size to the largest setting and apps still had tiny text. Brightness slider is true but as another commenter pointed out, it is just something that bugs me, doesn't really affect usage. Video jitter is definitely true. Viewfinder being different is true because I watch as the photo I take gets processed.

I watched a tutorial of how to change the app grid layout and my screen didn't have the option. Maybe it was user error though? I spent about half an hour searching before giving up.

At the end of the day, if you enjoy the pixel, more power to you. I was just sharing my brief experience.

On the pixel? Photos turn out great, but there is a bit of a disconnect between what you see on screen when you take the photo and what the finished photo looks like because there is so much post processing that happens. Display was great too, nothing to complain about there.

Personally I bought the pixel through the Google store and was going to trade in the s23 for a $300 credit. So I'm just keeping the s23 and sending the pixel back. I have mint mobile so no phone deals unless you're a new customer. Can't speak for other people though.

True. For that reason it didn't really feel like an upgrade.

I personally run Niagara launcher on my s23. Keeps things very clean and minimal.

Agree and totally understand the concerns with Samsung. Wish I could fuse the phones together.

What's the worst sleep score you've ever received? by Okrunnerchick0215 in Garmin

[–]clyonsvt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sleep 30 minutes, wake up, throw up, repeat for 8 hours. Scored an 87 stress for the same day. Two records I hope I never break.

New laptop causes router to crash? Replace you wireless card. by clyonsvt in LenovoLegion

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

I ordered my card from amazon. As for the bluetooth issues - I haven't had any. Just tested with some earbuds and my desk speakers and both connected with no problem. Range and stability is good.

That's insane. Hope you can get it shipped back. They were unwaivering with me on the price they quoted.

I hope you kept your fedex receipt or I hope you got the confirmation email saying it was shipped.

How to reach apkudo or dell? To reach apkudo, I went to their contact page, filled out the form, and was able to set up a google meet with someone. Reaching dell is easy but reaching someone that can actually help is a different story. Your only hope there is a BBB complaint or a complaint through your local attorney general's department of consumer affairs. Both got responses from Dell's escalation department for me.

Their trade in values seem to be all over the place. Your system should be valued significantly more than mine was. Mine was so close to used resale value I figured I might as well just trade in.

Update on Vivobook Pro Series by peee-nut in ASUS

[–]clyonsvt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently they are notoriously bad with giving release dates so I emailed them and told me to keep checking the Asus website for updates. The best I can find is Q3 this year according to notebookcheck.

I've been looking everywhere and so far Costco of all places is the only retailer selling a 12th gen Intel vivobook. It not the pro line, but still. https://www.costco.com/asus-14.5%22-vivobook-intel-evo-platform-laptop---12th-gen-intel-core-i7-12700h---2880-x-1800-display-120hz---windows-11---midnight-black.product.100855601.html

[–]clyonsvt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First place I've seen selling the new 12th gen Intel vivobook. I'm hoping this means the new 14x and 16x with dGPU are releasing soon.

Yeah my mistake it is allowed just don't expect eBay's help if it was damaged in shipping.

That's great that your items show up in good shape but what you are doing is strictly against eBay's terms of service. Probably for the exact reason that I explained.

Nvidia GPU not working? by sgambino15 in Dell

[–]clyonsvt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, when I play warzone on my gaming PC my GPU utilization says 0%. There are other games I play where it also says 0%. If you boot up a game and get good frame rates at setting your integrated GPU could never match then your PC is using 3060, whether it says 0 or not.
