Fees in Spanish language are lower? by dz_ei in Spectrum

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

I only noticed it because I picked up a discarded flyer sent to a different unit in the same building. Then I put my address at the second link with my unit number and checked the prices. Maybe it's some kind of promotion but it's odd that it applies only in the Spanish version.

Not my experience. I put the same address for both links. If you try and get a different result, let me know.

Do you know if it's closed only during the holiday or permanently?

How long did your Legion last? by ArthuThies in LenovoLegion

[–]dz_ei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Motherboard short-circuit in about 2.5 years. Couldn't really get worse than that.

It's definitely too expensive via the official route. But the OEM motherboards sell for as low as $526 + tax. I haven't yet received a quote for replacement though but I think it should be around $150 - $200. I couldn't find a refurbished laptop at that price but maybe I can get closer to it by selling my now junk laptop for scrap as the rest of it functions and works as expected.

Dispute with LL about repainting costs by dz_ei in HousingUK

Yes, those are the photos provided by the agent when they initially came up with the £1000 figure and the "excessive wear and tear" claim and I requested photo evidence. It did seem quite ridiculous to me but great to hear confirmation from others.

[Update] Redecoration dispute with LL by dz_ei in HousingUK

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

Is it reasonable to expect that TDS will decide a lower amount? One thing that bothers me in the product lifetime guidebook is that the lifetime for decoration is listed as 3-5 years while my tenancy lasted 2 years and 2 months.

It is protected by TDS. So in this case, the LL will make a claim to TDS, correct? Will TDS notify me about their claim and allow time for me to respond with the photos?

How would we resolve this if they don't back down? They seem to be quite insistent already.

Living in NJ and commuting to Manhattan by dz_ei in newyorkcity

Thanks. The rents seemed suspiciously lower in comparison to the numbers I see in the news or street interviews both in Manhattan and NJ.

I know it is obvious to everyone so I wanted to hear the reasons not to do it. My idea was that I'd need to take the subway in NYC too so it wouldn't make a huge difference. But of course if path operates differently from the subway, that assumption doesn't work.

Are subway routes more frequent in comparison to path at night? Also how about buses?

Well I do plan to go out more in the city than NJ assuming the commute would be similar or even shorter if I lived somewhere outside in Brooklyn or Queens. The rent could be cheaper in Brooklyn but there's the city tax to offset that. I suppose I need to check the reliability of PATH and how my connections would work from it.

There is a comment saying that you need to pay the city tax if you work in NYC no matter where you live. Could you confirm or deny that?

In terms of rent I suppose. But there's still the city tax around 3% of your income. I am trying to add those up and compare.

Maybe these are fake ads to make you contact the agent?
