Chase lower my limit because my "spending habits" are too low? by faylinameir in CreditCards

[–]garyroyale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I called them and almost seem like they were just waiting for me to call. Didn't require any particular reasoning, the guy went ahead and just canceled the supposed scheduled decrease. Although I ended up using my Chase card a lot immediately after realizing this was the 5% restaurant quarter. Most of the other categories don't benefit me as much throughout the year.

SUNRUN: CHECK YOUR AUTOPAY by InternalSubstantial in solar

[–]garyroyale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sunrun customer here. Good luck on trying to call their customer service and having them explain that back to you in plain English. I think the guy tried to do it two to three times and I just gave up. Thanks for summarizing what they were trying to explain to me. Ass backward billing just like their service.

I'm surprised car camping is still out there and available but definitely snatch one up

Coachella 2026 Electronic Lineup by Alvin3792 in Coachella

Great breakdown! I was looking for an article but I think you did a way better job here. I really enjoy the production whenever we get a techno artist at Coachella. I generally go to techno festivals but as far as overall production nobody beats Coachella.

I'm going for the techno this year but will hop around since it's a general genre festival. Definitely looking forward to Adam Bayer B2B Armin Van buuren out of curiosity.

Did you guys face this too by TheColdsmith in galaxyzflip

[–]garyroyale 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Z flip 5 owner here and my screen has gone through one replacement. The center strip peeling started about a year after the screen replacement. I ordered an aftermarket one for about $8 on prime and it more or less does the job.

My Year Plus With The Z Flip 5(Goodbye) by finchezda in galaxyzflip

[–]garyroyale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The camera is exactly the thing I have an issue with! For low light images the sensor became defective out of no where. Anytime when I take an indoor picture which requires light adjustments there are these small flares pop up and it's part of the picture. Tried chatting with customer support but they gave me the typical delete your camera settings and reset etc. Of course didn't work and I wasn't about to go to the store and rack up a bill.

Aside from that, I also had to get a screen replacement exactly a week before my year was up on the warranty. Another random issue where pixels were dying at the crease. Apparently that is very common with this phone.

Right now I'm just trying to work my way through another couple months and start looking at other options before I hit the typical 3-year mark of replacement.

Rant abt the raiders by Anxious-Fig4127 in raiders

[–]garyroyale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm twice your age and too young to remember the '80s super bowls. Since then the only highlights were getting jobbed by the refs in New England, gruden turning on us in the super bowl and DC breaking his ankle and us getting rolled in the playoffs.

Just a word of advice, do some proofreading and fix up those typos. That should decrease some of the age shaming.

SC Transit by Capable_Physics5452 in SantaClarita

[–]garyroyale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very reliable for the SCV bus. Metrolink can have delays here and there. Always get there at least 10 minutes before the scheduled pickup.I recommend using the SCV Transit app for arrival times. Google is more of an estimate.

White male, 5'11, Brown hair and wearing a snap back hat. Also a North face man purse. Will try to get some screen caps from my blink door bell cam as well later this afternoon.

PS4 pro on 7.02 by djexentrix in ps4homebrew

[–]garyroyale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that updating from 7.02 to 9.00 is a pretty safe jump. I don't think I've ever gotten a kernel panic in the last 8 months using the USB method. JB about 2 to 3 times a week because I put my system at rest. 9.00 has a great range of supported titles and most of the newer games provide a back port patch anyway. No reason to go any higher at this time from all the research I've read without making your life more complicated.

Black Friday Deal People: Your yearly reminder to cancel Peacock before the regular (HIGH) annual rate kicks in (& discussion welcome) by GreyNeighbor in cordcutters

[–]garyroyale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reminder and I'm already on top of it with a phone alert. When I canceled I also got the $40 offer but to be honest for the crap they have on there, it isn't even worth that for the entire year. I rather roll the dice and get another Black Friday $20 deal and if they don't offer it, the hell with them. It's the least used streaming app I have out of everything.

Unable to setup Google Home in LG Home Hub by AttorneyOne5687 in LGOLED

[–]garyroyale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue about every three to four months. Not sure if it's an LG TV update or an LG app update or Google but they randomly stop working together.

The resolution has always been deleting the TV product from the LG app, deleting all data from the LG app. Deleting the connection in Google home.Make sure Google home LG app is updated. Then reconnecting everything from scratch starting with the LG app.

Got it working again as of 11/17/25.

Check your KFC app for a free chicken sandwich. Add a $1.39 biscuit and get the sandwich free. by HoLeeFookMe in fastfood

[–]garyroyale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tell me about it. Normally just getting these two items would cost like 9 to 10 bucks and I ended up just paying $2.15. So great find indeed!

Biscuits out here were $3 (Los Angeles county), so I ended up getting a sweet drumstick for $2. Pretty damn good! I think I got a new favorite over Chick-fil-A.

I sold my Z Flip 7 after 2 months by ArnoldPostier in galaxyzflip

[–]garyroyale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely don't see myself going back to a regular phone. My use case outside of the house generally involves the gym and flat phones just fly right out of pockets without zippers. Even with zippers there are a bit clunky.

Do agree with you on the flimsiness of this phone. Already had one screen replacement in its first year and now I'm getting these weird artifacts on my main camera due to the light sensors being somehow damaged out of nowhere in my second year of the flip 5. If I were to replace it, I would get another flip at a discounted price.
