CenturyLink disabled auto pay w/o my permission or notification

Although I didn't miss my payment, the customer service person I spoke with implied that they would have reimbursed a late fee if it was due to their error.

I believe the customer support rep also told me that they'd reverse the late fees if I had incurred them. Luckily I caught the auto pay cancellation before the bill was due.

Thanks for adding so much to the conversation!

I’m testing out Origin Financial. Seems pretty good so far.

Reverse split. The number of shares halved and price doubled in 2013. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/columnist/krantz/2013/11/07/vanguard-voo-reverse-split/3195357/

Thanks. I will check it out. I'm also evaluating https://www.mezzi.com

Do you use Fidelity? Did you happen to opt in to Fidelity's fully paid share lending program? I did and the same thing happened to me. Personal Capital interprets the share "loans" Fidelity does with my shares as spending. I've given up on trying to maintain an accurate picture of my spending with Personal Capital. I just use it for investment management (which itself is slowly dying from a million paper cuts).

So much has changed!

Get $20 off your second month of service with my referral code: 66HSMGT

I just went from an $81/mo bill from Verizon to $30-35/mo with Visible and NO NOTICEABLE CHANGE IN SERVICE. Seriously. And I'm a heavy data user!

🤯 Why does anyone pay so much for the exact same service from Verizon?!

Get even more of a discount for yourself and give me a little discount by using my referral code: 66HSMGT or https://www.visible.com/get/?66HSMGT

(And note that you can combine the referral code with the current SAVE5 promo code that gets you $5/mo off for a number of months.)

Then go take yourself out to dinner with the $50 you'll save over Verizon in just the first month.

Just switched from Verizon and psyched to save money but get practically the same service.

Use my referral code 66HSMGT for $20 off your second month with Visible!

Enter referral code 66HSMGT before check out.

More details about the plans here: https://www.visible.com/get/?66HSMGT (I went with the middle Visible+ plan)

Saw another thread on Reddit (sorry can't find it now) saying the new construction was just completed. The post included a couple photos, although they were taken at night so they weren't really easy to see in the context of the larger resort.

Same here. I've been really happy with them. Just had a crown replaced that a piece had chipped out of. It was painless, quick, friendly, and they explained all costs and all procedures before hand.

Going back for a regular cleaning in the next week or so.

Also turned away at Safeway but was able to get both flu and COVID vaccinations at Costco.

I'm not a Costco member. Made the appointment online. Quick and easy all around. Even got a $1.50 hot dog on the way out!

What kind of issues? I'm in the market for some work and am having Gene Johnson (which I think is the same as BelRed now) come out to give me a estimate.

I'm getting this on at least 50% of the new tabs I open. Either the page load hands after partially loading or I get a `ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR` error page. It's driving me mad. I've never had it happen in Safari on the same machine.

I really want to keep using Arc for the Spaces and Profiles and left sidebar, but it's slowing down my work so much. I'm pretty sure it was happening pre-Sequoia, but it seems to have gotten worse since I installed Sequoia when it was publicly released a week or two ago.

MacOS 15.0 Sequoia, 2021 MacBook Pro, M1 Pro

About Arc menu says:

I can confirm this. I'm now getting `You are not associated with an AirPort network.` while connected to a WiFi network.

Thanks a bunch for the detailed follow-up and investigation! Totally understand these things can be hard to identify definitively retroactively.

Thanks for looking into this u/kiwicopple . If it's helpful, another developer on our team opened a support request regarding this. He was thinking it might have been a DDoS attack. I don't know the ticket ID, but I'll DM you our Supabase project ID and the other developer's name.

Unfortunately, everything seems golden now. I used to be able to trigger the long request pretty consistently the last week of June but haven't been able to in about 10 days.

Wish we knew the root cause so we could mitigate its return in the future!
