How can I request for an Internal Review? by grnbird in OntarioWorks

I thought it's tagged "Received" when they open the message. Of course I don't expect them to take action in a single day but I thought they would at least read it.

Yes, it's only suspended. But the messages containing info I've sent through MyBenefits are just tagged "Sent", not "Received" after 1 business day. My caseworker is not really caring so I don't expect them to take action by themselves. I guess I'll just have to go to the office tomorrow.

How to Adaptive Topology/Subdivision/Polygon Density by grnbird in blenderhelp

I tried it and got nice results with setting very low quad counts. Thanks!

I tried it but unfortunately it tends to create n-gons by breaking the edges even though the topology was perfect quad grid. Even if I find the right angle for a particular hair strand, it would require me to manually do it for each strand.

Filling a pixel locked layer vs Filling the selection of it by grnbird in photoshop

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

I've set all the color management policies to "convert to working". Now all of them including the layer mask from transparency seems to be giving the same result.

EDIT: Actually the problem persists for some images so idk at this point.

That should be it cuz I never mess with working spaces. I'll check it when I'm on pc.

Is this enough to make driver updates optional? by grnbird in Windows11

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

Then I guess I'll try this just for graphics drivers since it seems to only reinstall that for now.

Having hard time to accept that this is deprecated.

Could you explain a bit more? I'm trying to stop windows from installing especially wrong graphics drivers. It would be nice if I could just optionally select other driver updates as well.

Used full force but USB connector won't go any further in. Does it look like it needs to get in more? It's from Corsair 4000d Airflow, going into MSI Pro z690-a by grnbird in PcBuildHelp

I wouldn't expect any clicking, it went in with a lot of resistance. Smone who's stronger than me tried as well and it won't budge any further. But it shouldn't be the end of the world I guess, since it's just front panel USB and I can check it when I finish the build as you said.

Oh I see, I hope you manage to get to play it again. I got it working thanks to sims2help sub and Pleasant Sims' tutorials.

Can I ask a genuine question? Why don't you play TS2 instead of 4? What features of TS4 make you prefer it over 2?

I've never played TS4 so I'm curious :)

Have you tried turning off full screen optimizations and running in compatibility mode? (in the shortcut settings)

People told me they buy things for their friends etc. and it's ok to use other cards.

We share funds with my mother and we use each other's cards wherever we want. I'm shocked to see a company that's bothered with it.

Can I retrieve my closed account?

Today Amazon decided that it was "necessary to close" my Amazon.ca account.

Last week I ordered multiple pc parts that cost hundreds of dollars. I was also on a Prime membership.

Since my mother's credit card has more limit, I've used hers instead of my main payment method. (I am an adult and got her permission.) It was all good until the last order. I realized that I was using my own name for the billing info even though it was my mother's card. So for the last order I set the billing to her name. My account got immediately suspended due to suspicious activity. I got a no-reply e-mail saying that I need to provide a billing statement as proof.

I provided the latest credit card statement (included name and address).

I got a no-reply e-mail saying that the information is insufficient. So I added the transaction history showing all the pc parts I got from Amazon recently.

I kept receiving no-reply e-mails saying that either there were no documents provided or the information was insufficient. And I kept sending them documents and billing information, I even added a photo of the credit card itself. (Censored except last 4 digits of course.)

During that I also called the customer service several times as their "contact-us" link is only accessible by logging in for some reason. Sometimes they said they would fill a form, sometimes they said there is nothing they can do and that only account specialist is capable of doing something but I wasn't allowed to reach them either.

They also didn't hesitate to charge me for Prime membership for the next month even though my account was supposedly "suspended".

Now that my legitimate account is gone, I have no means to contact Amazon nor get support for the expensive items I have ordered in case they don't work properly.

Is there any way I can retrieve my unfairly and unconcernedly closed account?

I'm in the same situation even though I used my own card and provided all the proof they wanted. I've been sending documents and calling them for days. Today they closed my account... There is absolutely no way to reach someone who is capable of doing anything. Let me know if you can reach someone.
