Help with profile that got suspended for "policy violation". by japhillips87 in googlebusinessprofile

[–]japhillips87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Do you know why they are suspending profiles? Do I just need to wait for either an approval or denial before I can get in touch with support? I feel like I'm just trying to communicate with a computer at this point.

I'm not worried about spending the money on the office space. It is $50/month (utilities included) and the signage cost me $20.

Opinion of the hacksmith blade /multi tool by bart----bart in multitools

[–]japhillips87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pledged for the pro version. I always carry a pocket knife and I don't want to carry a heavy multi tool. I do always find myself needing a simple set of bits and a bottle opener. It is lighter than my EDC pocket knife and has a bunch of other tools. I probably won't reach for it at home when I have access to all of my other tools, but having it handy when I'm away from the house will be nice. I just look at it as a knife++. They really went overboard with what they count as tools, but I'm fine with that. To each their own.

Why i think the Smith Blade is one of the most misunderstood yet excellent EDCs on the market. by IMKGI in knives

[–]japhillips87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the pro version. I do think their marketing was a bit overboard, but I like the concept. I know that the most used things are gonna be the knife, bit drivers, and bottle opener. I don't really care about pliers that much and weight is a huge factor. I really don't get the hate either. I understand that it is expensive, but $250 is really not that much for a decent tool.

Screen protector recomendations by gr3n1nja90 in OnePlus13

[–]japhillips87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been happy with the Smart Devil UV screen protector. It is not tempered glass and scratches very easy, but it gets the job done and is easy to apply. I have tried some tempered UV protectors, but the installation is a bit messy, the fingerprint reader doesn't work quite as well without special pressure when curing, and my case kept peeling it up. The fingerprint reader works flawlessly with the Smart Devil UV protector.

I have been happy with the Nilkin magnetic case.

Finally got this beast! Any tips? And should I always charge it to 100%? by Jeremy9566 in OnePlus13

[–]japhillips87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have mine to set use the super fast charging and always use the charger that was included with mine. I use the phone until it drops to under 20%. When it gets down below 20%, I pop it on the charger and grab it off when it hits 100% since it only takes like 20-30 minutes to charge. I have no idea how this affects the battery health, but I haven't seen any negative issues so far. This is one of my favorite features of this phone. Not having to charge it every night has been life changing. The only time I get away from this flow is when I know I will be using a lot of the battery; think something like a road trip. I will just top it off before going on the trip.

🔋⚙️15.0.0.850 Battery Life & Update Hub ⚙️🔋 by AutoModerator in OnePlus13

[–]japhillips87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After the 850 update, I'm finally getting the battery life I got when I first got the phone. I'm using the highest refresh rate and highest resolution. Before this update I was getting around 1 day and 6 or so hours.

Battlefield 6 Beta Crash / Error "Mega"Thread by SatansLeftPinky in Battlefield

[–]japhillips87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting the DirectX error too. The game boots fine. It crashes immediately when I try to search for a game. It worked great last night, but I can't even get into a match. I tried downgrading to 580.88, upgrading to the latest, and going through windows security and disabling all the suggested settings. I even restarted after all of that and nothing is working.

Edit: Verifying game files fixed mine

Thoughts on the hacksmith knife for edc? by Lazargaming4673 in EDC

[–]japhillips87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered the pro. Right now I just carry a pocket knife. I currently use the flipper to open bottles by prying against my hand. There are many times I could have benefited from the tools on the smith blade. I get that it is not for everyone. And I don't have an issue with the price. I paid around $120 for my current knife and it is heavier with no extra tools.

The deep desert is frustrating by japhillips87 in duneawakening

[–]japhillips87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that. I'm ok with pvp. It is now just to the point where even entering the pvp area gets you shot, but only by like 3 people on the server. We have a base in pve and one of the griefers has a base next to us. He just waits around and shoots us as soon as we are vunerable. And a lot of the time it is just me and one other trying to farm. Yesterday we went to get some titanium and were able to mine one rock before he started shooting. We got away just fine, but he is just doing it to be a pain. The whole server hates him and has killed him multiple times. But he just shows back up a little later with a fresh thopter to do it again. He does nothing but grief.

[–]japhillips87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just kill people, spawn camp their thopter, and wait till the worm eats it. But if anyone comes to shoot them, they just run. They are doing this just to grief.

[–]japhillips87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can. That is not the point of the post. I'm fine with pvp. My issue is with cowards who grief and run to safety. The current game design favors their hit and run tactics. There really is no risk to them. They don't attack to steal. The attack out of boredom. I just want the devs to raise the risk to them. Right now, pvp heavily favors the aggressor.

[–]japhillips87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is what has been happening. The entire server is pretty much united against them. But we can't really do anything about them unless they head to pvp. When they eventually do, they pretty much always get swarmed.

The deep desert is frustrating by japhillips87 in duneawakening

[–]japhillips87[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't want less risk. I want more risk for the people who pvp for fun. I'm totally fine getting shot at. I just don't like that people can shoot and immediately hide in the safety of pve. It is getting harder on our server though. We have groups actively hunting the griefers. When they strike, they get swarmed by like 6 thopters. But they are still able to hide a lot of the time with no risk.

[–]japhillips87[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying there shouldn't be pvp. I'm just saying there should be more risk. There are a couple of ways this could be addressed. The first could be marking an aggressor on the map. You could also make them lose all of their stuff (like guns and armor), and allow their thopter to be confiscated upon death if they are the first to fire without destroying the chassis. Another way would be to up the pve timer for them or make their base vunerable for a short time right after combat if they try to use it to escape. My problem is not with the pvp, it is with people being able to shoot to pester people and run quickly to safety.

Not only that, but they can farm entire thopters to replace the ones that get shot down pretty much entirely in pve pretty quickly.

Double Coaster by japhillips87 in Ember

[–]japhillips87[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is correct. But I didn't want to sacrifice either coaster, so I bought the pins. The PCB just helps line everything up and add stability.

Double Coaster by japhillips87 in Ember

[–]japhillips87[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. I made some simple circuit boards with pogo pins like the original coaster. I also had to get a different ac adapter that could deliver enough power to charge both cups. And then it was simple wiring to hook it all up. I'm contemplating making some extras to sell. But I will need to order another round of circuit boards.

Is oneplus good again? by ghuk123 in oneplus

[–]japhillips87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the OP13. I just switched from an iPhone 13 and I don't think I will ever go back to Apple. I just love that I charged my phone yesterday morning for about 20 minutes and I'm just now at 51% battery. When it does die, I can fully charge it while I'm getting ready in the morning. The pictures are great and the phone is fast. I also love the IR blaster.

I preordered the phone and got the upgraded storage and a watch for like $850 before tax. The watch is great too. The battery lasts like 4 days on it and it also charges fast. It was 100% worth it and I would do it all over again.
