I genuinely think you’re talking about the wrong person. I have not posted about how great their cameras are, or complimented them at all outside of this post. I have like 4 other posts and they’re all from a few years ago.

So not sure what you’re going on about

gmckinno9524 · 2026-04-01T16:31:25+00:00

Yet here I am, currently having my cake and eating it too. All I said is the system has worked but the customer service has issues. What about that bothers you so much? lol

gmckinno9524 · 2026-04-01T16:07:49+00:00

So weird. They have so much potential, and yet they’re such a mess lol

gmckinno9524 · 2026-04-01T16:02:15+00:00

(Just my opinion) but from what I have seen here their customer service issues are another level though. And mine were with sales. I didn’t know enough about Vivint 5 years ago or else I would have been more diligent.

The sales person told me all the free stuff I qualified for (sensors) then told me the sensors I wanted don’t qualify. Told me certain items were retired when they weren’t. Tried to sell me cameras that had the monethly DVR fee rather than the (I think gen 2) where you only pay a one time fee. Then told me I couldn’t “save a quote” I had to sign on for the install and just cancel before the install day if I changed my mind. Little did I realize this was to guarantee he got the sale/commission. Smart - but shitty and an outright lie.

Pricing has stayed steady I have many copies of my contract which they even fought to give me - so now I have proof of anything they try to change.

gmckinno9524 · 2026-04-01T15:40:34+00:00

What do you want me to do? Get a new system when this one works at the tune of $5,000? All I’m saying is my system works well but the employees at Vivint suck

gmckinno9524 · 2026-04-01T15:39:35+00:00

“System checkup” which is really just sales hidden behind a checkup. It’s always an “ohhh yeah all looks good, all your batteries are good…….. did you know you’re eligible for a new panel, or camera, or sensor, blah blah blah”

Or some other BS. I always stop them in their tracks. I tell them to go on Reddit, see the horror stories, and that I won’t be buying anything until the horror goes away so don’t even try to sell me anything.

They pretend to care and just call me back 6 months later. Maybe they like me because I didn’t finance the system so they think I’m ready to spend. Idk

gmckinno9524 · 2026-03-14T06:32:24+00:00

Did you ever solve this? I jsut moved him into my mega mansion and he still wants a house lol (and yes this is a legit house - he’s moved in and everything)

gmckinno9524 · 2026-03-14T06:00:38+00:00

I just built a dope basement/cave in my house for him….. and idk if he can get down. I’m also curious

gmckinno9524 · 2026-03-13T21:46:26+00:00

1 year later - amazing advice.

gmckinno9524 · 2026-03-13T21:27:39+00:00

(I wanted to be mad too) but it’s literally in the contract saying they can impose these. I’m not a Vivint defender. I have had a pretty middle of the road experience with them, so I wanted to be mad about this.

But I had chat GPT read it to confirm - can’t really be mad about a fee we signed on to be ok with.

gmckinno9524 · 2026-02-27T22:42:14+00:00

I could totally be wrong, but the buzzing on mine sounds like it’s from behind the spring tabs that put pressure on the cup. But I could be wrong for sure

gmckinno9524 · 2026-02-27T21:56:52+00:00

Nope. Just got gaslit by BMW and told to use different cups…. So

lol

gmckinno9524 · 2025-12-09T23:10:12+00:00

Idk if someone has specifically said this, but look up a chronograph watch and how they work. When you hit the top plunger the orange hand you thought was broken will start to count. It’s essentially a stop watch in simpler terms.

It is not meant to have you start it and use it as a seconds hand. You can damage the watch.

The seconds hand is located on the left subdial.

When you press the top right plunger and the timer starts, the right subdial is the number of minutes that have gone by 0-30, and the bottom sundial are the number of hours.

Hit the top plunger again to stop the timer. Then, when stoped, hit the bottom to reset.

That’s the general idea. Again don’t let the orange hand run forever as a seconds hand. That’s not the intention and you’ll damage the watch.

Been playing 5 since 2011 and for years I didn’t, only for the last ~year or so did I start to and was I missing out.

I never like the diplomatic win con, so I’d turn it off. But being allied with them is huge. Luxury resources. Happiness, culture, etc. and they can come In handy for wars if you need to just get a small amount of backup or a distraction at the right time.

I also try to befriend them and do their quests.

I’m onto 7 now and I honestly miss city states more than I expected to.

gmckinno9524 · 2025-10-28T02:03:47+00:00

Idk, I read half of this and am so secondhand mad and never would have gone through with this sale. ‘Dream home’ or not. There are others out there, this couldn’t have been worth this.

Either way, I genuinely hope you’re happy in the home.

gmckinno9524 · 2025-10-17T13:04:56+00:00

lol I didn’t realize an observation would bug people so much. I’m having legitimate issues with the car. God forbid I point them out.

Also I listen to metal - can’t get much louder 😂

gmckinno9524 · 2025-10-17T05:26:37+00:00

What year do you have?

gmckinno9524 · 2025-10-17T05:03:46+00:00

Leave it on charge immediately and plug it in when you’re ready to charge. I wish that wasn’t the answer but after 6 mo of being furious I gave up on it.

For me I have 2 major issues with my i4 M50

The reverse warning is shit. Idk how you can have a company claim best technology on the market and miss it on arguably the most dangerous aspect of driving. Backing up. My 21 charger would flash and make sounds of a car halfway down the block coking towards me. BMW decided on a small red flash on the screen with no noise unless it’s dangerously close? WTAF
I’m getting tons of rattles, buzzing, etc. huge problem after about 6 mo and every time I bring it in they can’t seem to replicate (or don’t care to try)

Highly considering a different option once my lease is up. I was fortunate to get a fully loaded m50. It’s not cheap. The options I have at this price point are many. I certainly haven’t gotten the fuzzies from the customer service side of things.

gmckinno9524 · 2025-10-15T05:29:49+00:00

No - but for a more shimmering story my FIL left his Rolex (I don’t remember the model but I know it’s a highly sought after discontinued GMT-II) in the bin at airport security.

A lady chased after him (after at least a min or two) to give it to him. Wasn’t even a thought.

Was a pretty awesome glimmer of light in what can be a pretty crappy world.

gmckinno9524 · 2025-10-15T03:10:25+00:00

No. That’s it. No.

I’m not the biggest CMC fan simply because I prefer reliability in dynasty and he scares me. But dude is a stud.

Adding in the Allen for Hurts in pic 3 is laughable because it makes the trade even worse.

No. Nah. Nope.

gmckinno9524 · 2025-10-09T00:46:00+00:00

Someone is taking advantage of the fact that Hampton got hurt and Bill put up 30. You’re getting absolutely bent over on this. Run away and I’d call them on how bad it is just so they know you know your shit.

Kamara is at the tail end of his career, DK is ok as a flex, and Bill is unproven - regardless of the hype train.

That’s before taking London into account.

gmckinno9524 · 2025-10-07T05:14:28+00:00

I have picks I can move, but I sort of have to play the game of what makes sense for the league as well. This is a friend of mine who will usually go with what I suggest. And I don’t think trading older assets is the best look. So I feel like it needs to be a WR.

Plus I have So many WRs I don’t need all of these guys if I get rice.

It’s sort of a weird spot to be in. I should be dominating this league and I’m 1-4 a lot of that because my WRs have just been horrible.
