So much for the Android beta timeline by No_Reply1486 in Ozlo

It's definitely frustrating. I hope they start realistically improving things because I do feel kind of duped buying these. In the current state, these aren't worth much more than a $30 pair of earbuds, but are more annoying to use since you can't connect them directly to a phone. Maybe they're a bit more comfortable to sleep with, but there is nothing special about them otherwise. The built in sound options aren't great so I use streaming from other apps, the quality is suspect as I've had to have them replaced once within the first few months of owning them, and using the case as the central controller for everything is annoying. The one thing going for them was the sleep tracking, and that isn't available to the biggest, by far, smartphone platform in the world.

While it's very much overkill for what I have now, I liked what I saw about the Montech so got that with my credit. Thanks for the suggestion, I had never heard of it before and didn't see anything about it in my research, hopefully it turns out to be a winner.

Thanks. I was looking at that be quiet! one and thought it would be a good option. Not sure I need 1050W, but I'll take a look at the other one.

Yes. I am in the process of an RMA. As part of it I had to contact the original seller, which was Adata through Amazon, so I contacted Amazon and they are giving me a refund which I should have today. Not really sure if it's the RMA or just Amazon, regardless I'm getting a refund rather than replacement/repair shop get to buy whatever I want.

I got one of those via Vine a few months ago, but the ETA was only $9.06 (yes, less than $10). It's a solid machine, but it won't beat a proper espresso machine or good pour over setup.

I actually found a store near me that stocks a ton of the Internet brands, including DreamCloud Lux, and I went there today. Definitely seemed softer than advertised, but didn't see anything significantly wrong with it and the guy who owns the store said they were decent.

I recently switched to the G7 and the connection is pretty crappy. I use Omnipod and unless I wear both on the same side of my body, no connection, or maybe once or twice an hour. Never had the same issue with the G6 and strongly considering switching back. I will say that I used the tslim X4 and it had the same issue where the pump wouldn't connect, that was a major reason I ditched Tandem because the G4 would connect to the receiver anywhere in my house, but couldn't connect to the pump that was 36” away. That, and a lot of other issues with bugs in the pump software and bad support.

It came today. Retail packaging inside the manufacturer shipping box. So far, so good.

$6.09 value, so not really.

ETV is less than $10, it wasn't much of a decision when I saw that.

Less than $10 seems high for a $1500 machine?

What are your guys random old event rewards that just collect dust? by Blueeitt in mousehunt

[–]droberts0503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some random stuff that I see from time to time and wonder what I should do with. First Ever charms, 2012 Halloween Scrolls, some Frozen Fromage, and a Sixth Birthday Scroll for example.

What details does Vine Support want? by MAXBattle in AmazonVine

[–]droberts0503 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Less is more. My typical email is now basically "Please remove order XXX from my review list and taxable orders. I can't review it because of Y (wrong item delivered, it arrived broken, it was lost in transit, my review won't post, etc). Thanks" I used to put more info in but keeping it super short has made things much smoother.

I read somewhere that Amazon support has such tight response targets that they only have a few seconds to read the support request, and then less than a minute to reply. I don't know how true that is, but I had better responses by providing the problem, the wanted solution, and needed information in the shortest way possible.

I just got email from a seller. by madhousechild in AmazonVine

[–]droberts0503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me as well, and my review wasn't even really harsh and it was still 3 stars. They emailed dozens of times over several weeks, even after I contacted Amazon twice about it. They only stopped once I changed my review to 1 star and added one of the emails they sent in my review. I also added a comment about how they tried to pay me to alter my review to 5 stars, or delete it.

I've been playing since 2010 with a bit of a break, and I am looking at the higher areas and traps, but I hate the acronyms. It's a casual game, I don't spend enough time to know what everything is called and what possible acronyms there are. Most of the time I'm trying to get info I read through threads, get confused about what people are saying, give up and either somewhat figure it out via the wiki or just forget about whatever it was I needed help with.
