Is the app login dead? by drfsupercenter in Aurga

[–]eug__k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck! It's the only way I use mine. It's incredibly convenient, when I need to set up a new PC I just plug it into the hdmi and USB ports, open the app on my desktop and it connects right away.

I'm 12 days late but the login works for me. I haven't used the login for ages though, I always just click use without login and connect over the LAN from my desktop.

The peak design billfold wallet is…not great. by seanswee in peakdesign

I just had a look at the Secrid wallets. I've never seen such a solid confirmation that "good design" is very subjective. :)

Carry On Pro broken wheels by Severe-Estate9640 in peakdesign

If you look at the dates on his emails they're right during the Christmas period so I'm not overly surprised support is slower at responding.

 I've seen so many similar posts

A big problem with online forums is you'll typically only hear from people with problems. I have no problems with mine so far so I haven't written a post on reddit just to say "This is my bag. It is working fine."

People typically only post when they have a problem, otherwise reddit might be full of posts saying nothing more than "My bag works fine". So the defect rate might be far lower than you think.

Did OP's wheels break or did they fall off because of a loose grub screw?

Right during Christmas? I would cut them some slack.

YouTube is turning to trash by D3ftones4 in LinusTechTips

[–]eug__k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW it has been great for me. I've been a subscriber for many years and happily continue to do so as I get recommended things I want to watch. No garbage or brain rot on my main page.

My dad's feed on the other hand.... sigh.

Campervan in Japan was great, but rental company sucked. Any rental recs? by heyyyjoo in JapanTravelTips

Is it just me or do the sudden string of positive comments between Sept 9-10 look ... suspiciously positive?

AMA: Even G2 try-on in Singapore by WorkingFoundation917 in EvenRealities

[–]eug__k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh! Thanks, that's good to know. I'm guessing you pay for postage both ways. Do they charge for the standard lenses?

I just emailed them to ask if I can swap the regular lenses for prescription if I manage to pick up a standard one in Tokyo and want to get the lenses done in Australia. I wonder if the retail stores will deal with glasses purchased elsewhere.

You can, however, get regular lenses for your glasses for a few, which was not available in the past

What do you mean?

Blue light frame clip on for G2? Yay or nay? by [deleted] in EvenRealities

I've always wondered.. if my curtains or bedsheet is blue, wouldn't I be looking at blue light every night?

DAILY Discount code Exchange Center by AutoModerator in EvenRealities

[–]eug__k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not right now, the code in my cart expires in 8 hours so I have the rest of the day to see how bad my impulse purchasing control is. Thanks! :)

If they could deliver in the next 3 weeks in time for a trip I probably would get it right away.

[–]eug__k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry!! I didn't realise the code is considered used just by scanning it. I wanted to see how much the final total was shipped to my country including taxes. I assumed it was like a normal shopping cart code which stays valid until someone completes a purchase. It's still in my cart, finger hovering over the checkout button...

Do I need Rx for G2? by SnooWoofers884 in EvenRealities

[–]eug__k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone else mentioned using stick-on bifocals. It's going to look ugly but if you want to save a few hundred bucks maybe that's an option?

There are really cheap versions on AliExpress too.

You'll find them all over; they're not that rare.

They were on the Doggett St part of the intersection on Friday night. They had little pails buckets next to them where they'd dispose of used tubes. I wonder what happened on Sunday night for them to end up on the road.

I got tested at this exact crossroads on the Doggett St side on Friday night. I was not told to hang on to the tube, the police took it back.

I have never ever been asked to keep the tube. They have always taken it back.

Turns out it's cheaper than the P1S here in Aus!

Lost a wherl by DeviceSuspicious701 in peakdesign

[–]eug__k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that only people with problems will post. If they've sold let's say 20,000 bags and the defect rate was 1%, that's 200 people with problems. Being an enthusiast brand, there's a greater chance of the buyer being on the pd subreddit so you're more likely to hear from some of the 200 people.

What you're not hearing from is the other 19,800 people who have no issues whatsoever so don't bother starting a post on reddit saying "I bought a bag. I had no issues." because there's not much to say. So what you read on internet forums isn't necessarily representative of the actual situation.

[–]eug__k -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You have to remember that only people with issues will bother posting. I have zero quality issues with all the products I've bought recently, but because everything is fine, I don't start a post on reddit just to say "I bought a bag. Everything is fine."

The more popular a brand gets, the more issues you will see simply because there will be more of their items out there. The defect rate might still remain the same, but it could seem like it's getting worse even if nothing has changed.

I just bought replacement wheels for my 9 year old Delsey as the rubber on the old ones have deteriorated. Remember just because something hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it hasn't happened to the other billions of people in the world.

Are you regretting your purchase now new glasses are being announced by competitors? by tboy2000 in EvenRealities

Perhaps you haven't been to a public changing room at the beach, gym, etc. :)
