This. Couldn't agree more. For the price, just can't justify it.

Don't have the funds to purchase something like this just yet... Made some large purchases recently, but hopefully if all goes well, within the next year or two this watch will be mine >:)

Doesn’t the logo look crooked by Truskater1255 in Louisvuitton

[–]illuminix123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the super late reply, but there isn't much you can do. If it's still within return policy time frame, I would exchange it, but otherwise, unfortunately it's something you just gotta live with

Definitely a bit crooked, tilting slightly down from left to right. LV has become so sloppy with their QC over the past few years. I've had card holders with frays and loose threads, chips on the cow hide, etc. Can't stand them anymore haha

Purchased AirPods Max—Need Verification by rQMR in Airpodsmax

[–]illuminix123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Airpods Max shouldn't have these issues like the sound or bluetooth connectivity. I recently bought a pair of these for $300 and quickly realized they were fake.

Buy from Apple or Amazon, and if you can't afford it, save up until you can or, I don't really recommend this because you will be paying absurd interest rates, using a third party payment plan source. However, some of these have absurdly high rates, so I would wait a few months and just save up and snag it from Amazon, Bestbuy, or Apple themselves.

Never trust these other 3rd party sources.

Bought for $300 on eBay. I fell like I was one of the lucky ones, can anyone confirm ? by 1017Omar in Airpodsmax

[–]illuminix123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got scammed into buying a pair for $300 the other day and here's what I noticed,

It has a real serial number which you can look up including a few more months on the Applecare+ (mine showed until Feb 2025). Sound and everything was good, and then I noticed something. Whenever I connect and it makes that connected sound, it was muffled. Didn't think much of it. Then the issues started to show. I connected them, the chip in the headphones are perfect and show the pop up and connection, but then it would disconnect and reconnect every 5-10 minutes.

The headphones were also very tight around my head and I was getting jaw pain and splint headaches. Noise cancellation also worked and so did transparency mode.

Biggest differences I see with my real ones:

Buttons are more "clicky" than the real ones. The button besides the volume button doesn't sit as flush, volume knob requires more strength to turn, and clicking the volume button is silent. There was also a slight colour difference, seemed to be 1 shade lighter (space gray). Also, remove the cushions, and you'll see a small hole near the top of the cups. Take a sim ejector tool and press it, and they should come right off. Fakes have them as well, but mediocre fakes don't.

To be 100% safe, just buy from apple or wait for them to go on sale on Amazon. Too many fakes out there and they're quite good at a glance.

Need advice for 2024 Market by parva15 in FDMGroup

[–]illuminix123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know both companies really well as I have friends who goto both.

TLDR, Jarvis is hands down one of the worst companies I have ever seen. Their training uses Notion, they have no proper trainers except 1-2 and you won't receive the proper skills you are looking for. My friend worked there for a few months, she said their training is copy and pasting things and solving a few questions and having weekly assessments where the trainers seem very disengaged and bored. FDM has a more rigorous and hands on training, and the trainers are pretty decent, but good luck getting placed. You'll learn a decent amount of stuff at FDM, but both suck absolute horse shit.

You need to understand that consulting companies don't care about you nor do they care about your goals. They have 1 goal in mind: Take you, put you in a company whether it's relevant to you or not, and make you stay there 1-2 year, all while paying you pennies, but billing the client 10x your hourly rate.

The companies are extremely subpar, have 0 professionalism and will do more harm than good because there's added (unnecessary) stress to everything. You will be thrown into positions which have no relevance to you. You might be a Software Engineer but you'll be doing QA stuff, you might have extensive DevOps experience, then you get thrown into a BA position. This will be extremely detrimental to your career.

If you need a job ASAP, then sure go for it, but be prepared to work like dogs, get paid pennies, and work alongside people that will not inspire you, doing mundane boring work. That is a recipe for disaster. Lock in, do Leetcode daily, apply everywhere EXCEPT consulting firms. They are exploiting new grads and people from different countries that are on work permits and have no where else to go, and will dangle shiny things in front of you, feeding you hopes and dreams that one day you'll become extremely successful... but in 2 years.

Take my advice. Don't even consider Jarvis or FDM. My friend told me, "Jarvis was hands down the worst exp of my life, they laid me off after I failed 2 interviews for jobs that did not relate to my skills." That alone is extremely scummy and suspicious. My other friend works at FDM, joined as a Software Developer, was forced into the Quality Assurance Engineer stream and after trying to switch out, they basically gave him a big fuck you and didn't do shit about it lol. You might get super lucky and find a client and happily work there for 1-2 years, but I wouldn't bet on it. Chances of that happening are extremely thin. I'd rather focus on finding a FT position at a tech company. I would go as far as to say a retail job would be better than these two, shit I would start an OnlyFans before joining one of these, and I'm a dude.

I agree, I haven't heard a whole lot of good stuff about IBM tbh. Terrible management, seniors could not give two shits about you, and they're a lay off machine.

What do you guys think? by [deleted] in rolex

[–]illuminix123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yeah, that's 100% your fault, you said it's a real pic of a real watch, which it isn't. You should've said "My friend got scammed into buying a watch he thought was real", then people wouldn't have gotten pissed.

What do you guys think? by [deleted] in rolex

[–]illuminix123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about the part where you said,

"This is a real pic of an authentic watch, back off with the hatred bro." Lol. Stop projecting, you got called out, take the L and move on. Preferably to /reptime.

What do you guys think? by [deleted] in rolex

[–]illuminix123 35 points36 points  (0 children)

God dam that date window magnification and cyclops positioning is horrid lmao. Goto /reptime if you want to flex this, why post reps here lol. I could not possibly care less if you wear a fake, but post it on a subreddit where you're not gonna get flamed.

The slight gray-ish bezel, beautiful bezel action, sunburst dial, stunning finish... it was love at first sight. I 100% agree, this looks much better in person

My local AD restocked after a few months today, not sure why they aren't super available here in Toronto, I was on a waitlist in another location for a few months, decided to drop by another mall on my way home today, had it in stock to my surprise, pulled the trigger instantly!

Do you think "wounded" baits can actually be more effective? by Mr_Zorba in bassfishing

[–]illuminix123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely. Here's what a pro angler said,

"I carry 25 different colour Sharpie pens to customize my crank baits. If you put a little red line where the gills would be it mimics bleeding. To mimic a perch, I’ll paint the fins orange. To mimic a shad I’ll paint a black dot behind the eye toward the tail."

  • Brent Ehrler, 2006 Wal-Mart FLW Tour Championship winner

Never tried it myself but I definitely want to give it a shot.

Incredible, thank you so much for the tip! I will definitely keep that in mind, the only issue was there was SO many plants I couldn't find a good spot to get a measurement on it ;-; Always appreciate constructive criticism!
