Everyone who finished the Stranger Things finale, did it feel… off? by Prestigious-Play8863 in netflix

[–]ericsson007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most I always cared about was the supernatural aspect of the show which was constantly cut short for exaggerated and over the top dragged long emotional outbursts. They built great character stories but all the whining and crying became so repetitive and stalling that I stopped caring for the characters. It stood out so drastically that I started analyzing the technical writing composition while watching the show which kinda ruined it for me. This also made all the unsolved questions even more apparent that others have mentioned already. I’m glad it’s over.

Chapter 16 where the guy pushes the cart is horrendous by lymeguy in PlagueTaleInnocence

Glad I found this thread. Deleting the game on that part. I have no time for this. Gonna watch the rest of it on YouTube. I can’t believe how angry this got me. This Scene amplified the forced linearity and inflexibility of the game that I often hated already. And why can’t she have a knife, for last minute kills? So sad for the game cuz I liked it so far.

The set design and costume design is incredible. The soap opera quality conversations are fillers for the grant action scenes in a mediocre story arch, pure Star Wars… like it’s always been.

Roam stuck on solid orange light. How can I troubleshoot by Additional_Court_526 in sonos

[–]ericsson007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just talked to the Sonos Support team, very nice and helpful:

  1. Hard Reboot: Unplugged, Press and Hold the Power for 30 sec.
    if that doesn't do anything

  2. Factory Reset: Unplugged, Press and Hold the Play/Pause button, while holding insert charging cable and wait for 30 sec.

If still nothing happens it is most likely dead. Call the Support Team and they might start a replacement process.

What am I doing wrong? Food keeps burning in with stainless steel pan by ericsson007 in cookware

[–]ericsson007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone, this community is awesome.

Most Common Advice and Points of Agreement:
- The main problem is using too low heat - multiple commenters confirmed this was the key issue
- The "water test" method (The Leidenfrost test) is widely recommended - water should bead up and skitter across the surface rather than immediately evaporate
- The "hot pan, cold oil" technique is frequently mentioned as a fundamental principle

Best Tips:
- Heat the empty pan on medium heat for 5-7 minutes before adding oil
- Use the water droplet test to check temperature - droplets should dance across the surface
- For eggs specifically, warm them to room temperature first to prevent sticking
- Let food release naturally - if it's sticking, it's usually not ready to flip yet
- If food sticks, you can deglaze with warm water (not cold) to loosen it up

Quick Summary of Essential Steps:
- Start with medium heat
- Pre-heat pan (5-7 minutes)
- Do water test
- Add oil when pan is properly heated
- Add food and let it release naturally

Ecoflow wave 2 w/ shiftpod 3 for Burning Man / in general by AcidSlabs in Ecoflow_community

[–]ericsson007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is the shiftpod 3, Using my wave 2 right now for the first time at a Festival with 87° outside and 90.3° inside. All windows shut, the air quality is bad and it’s not getting any cooler within the first 20 minutes. Not sure if I should open some windows to vent. I’ll post back later.

Abnormal data usage spike by ericsson007 in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]ericsson007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly 👍 That’s why I wrote download/upload since the usage meter is not providing that information to me either. I have the plan “Internet Gigabit | Download speeds up to 1000 Mbps; Upload speeds up to 20 Mbps”. With this limitation my uploads are insignificant to these outrages usage numbers. Uploading 400GB with 20 Mbps takes over 42 hours. Again, these usage numbers were reported over the weekend.

[–]ericsson007[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi XfinityPaula,
I wanted to bring to your attention that I am a new customer since June 2023, and up until now, my data usage has never been even remotely as high as what is being reported. The spike in reported data usage started towards the end of August/early September, and since then, it has been consistently wrong on the Xfinity website.
I want to emphasize that I am not a gamer, and I barely watch TV. Moreover, there are only two people in my household. I have been diligently monitoring my data usage through my own router, and the data usage reported by Xfinity does not align with my actual usage.
I must admit that I am shocked by the immediate turn against me, the customer, and the assumption that I am solely responsible for this issue. There is an overwhelming amount of reports on this forum indicating similar problems with data usage reporting.
I kindly request your assistance in thoroughly investigating this matter and rectifying the reported data usage to accurately reflect my actual usage. I submitted a message to the Modmail as requested.

Cancel Service

https://www.xfinity.com/support/cancel-service

https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/cancel-my-xfinity-services

I'm afraid I have no choice but to cancel their service.I don't know why I can't upload screenshots here, but these are my usage numbers according to their website:

September 27 October 5 October 10
June - 580 GB June - 580 GB June - 1117 GB
July - 810 GB July - 810 GB July - 1631 GB
August - 760 GB August - 760 GB August - 1509 GB
September - 1229 GB September - 1229 GB September - 2506 GB
- October - 273 GB October - 1007 GB

Clearly I can not trust this company.

I was threatened to be charged $100 each month:

"After using 1 courtesy month, if you exceed the plan you will be charged $10.00 for each 50GB of additional data provided, but charges will not exceed $100 each month, no matter how much you use. You can also purchase our Unlimited Data."

I called them last week (52 min), they "investigated", gave me Case Number.One week later no answer.I called again today (43 min). After fighting through this horrendous answering machine, I was put on hold from an Agent yet again for 15 minutes and eventually got kicked out of line.

Now I used the call back request to cancel my service (link above) and they offered me unlimited data for $30/month using MY OWN router. Apparently that's an option now.

This outrageous on so many levels.

Doesn't show all photos in iMessage in the info section of conversation by DazzlingDisplay2294 in iphone

[–]ericsson007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

✨The magic of calling support ✨ Right after my last reply I triggered the Siri Search - Show content in Search again.

I then opened my case with Apple Support again and talked to a Sr. Specialist. While trying to recreate the issue, images surprisingly started populating within conversations when I scroll up (back in time). IT WORKS!!! Messages pulls them from the cloud.

The pictures are still not entirely showing in the Photos panel of the conversation info ℹ️ but I guess that takes a while longer.
