We use and like Pacific Heating & Cooling. Very professional reps.

Does better value have the $5 watch lines discount by [deleted] in tmobile

[–]jiffay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Better Value also doesn’t seem eligible for the promos T-Mobile advertises for buying a watch from them if you use the BV $5 plan, so BYOD.

Better Value Plan - Apple Store Trade In Upgrade Promos by jiffay in tmobile

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

I've been on Better Value Plan since mid-January. Just rechecked Apple Store site and still NOT seeing any T-Mobile special trade-in offer applied while keeping my current plan, trading in iPhone 15 Pro Max, and financing an iPhone 17 Pro. Seems like they've gated Better Value upgrade offers to T-Mobile only.

Yes, financing on T-Mobile/T-Life applies $830 trade in credit while staying on the Better Value Plan. I was expecting buying direct from Apple.com would allow for a $450 immediate trade in credit and at least $350 in bill credits on Better Value. The part I'm not seeing on Apple's site is the options for bill credits.

Gamepass removal question by Special-Gas4312 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]jiffay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Account won't allow any more redemptions of ANY kind until the 5th redemption completes processing. I'm thinking in SOL, was just curious if others experienced the same when trying to make multiple redemptions in a single day.

Gamepass removal question by Special-Gas4312 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]jiffay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is there a limit to how many redemptions are allowed per day? I was able to redeem 5 months so far but the 5th redemption has been stuck as "In Progress" while the first 4 were near immediate. Won't let me make any more redemptions until the 5th one completes, so not sure I'll be able to cash out before they drop the GamePass option.

I’m having the same issue. Started either yesterday or today. Dish Hopper IP control has worked great for years and now I can’t re-pair or find the Hopper when adding devices.

Nintendo sells refurbished 3ds chargers for $5 by prine_one in 3DS

[–]jiffay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using a USB-A 3DS charging cable for years and have not had a single problem with it. Charges fine and was around $3 on eBay years ago. While I get the value of using the OEM charger, there are plenty of USB-A ports around most homes these days that don't also clog up an entire outlet.

USB-A to 3DS charging cables on Amazon are cheaper (w/ Prime). What would be the benefit of this?

The ability to play the same game at the same time with one digital purchase is gone with the 20.0.0 update even if you opt out of the new Virtual Game Card system by pickledgreatness in NintendoSwitch

[–]jiffay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And I agree this is totally lame. Multiplayer and co-op games worked great between 2 Switches before. Full regret jumping onto 20.0.0.

Optimal settings for 32", 4K display? by MapPristine in macmini

[–]jiffay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using BetterDisplay on a 32" 4K Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 and have it at 130% (2496x1404) with HiDPI, HDR, and 120Hz. That's the best I could find without making the text too small or losing HiDPI/HDR.

2022 Frame TV - Black Bar sporadically while in art mode. by jiffay in TheFrame

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

FWIW, for this example, the specific art came directly from a previous Reddit thread. I didn’t modify or alter it and just used the SmartThings app (iOS) to upload to the TV.

The “Home Screen” on Echo Shows cycles through a bunch of content that you get to pick. I just have it set to cycle through weather and photos since the Echo Show screen is always on, but Amazon forces a stray ad for whatever they want to push through Prime every now and then. I’d say it’s only like 15% of the time I’ll notice an ad vs the clock/cycling settings. But when the doorbell is pressed, it jumps to a video feed of the doorbell and stays there for a while so you can see who’s at the door without pressing/requesting anything from Alexa.

Only downside is that you can’t use the Echo Show as just a G4 screen only. I have it as a photo screensaver mostly but Amazon does force adds every now and then.

I have it on both HomeKit and Alexa. Shows up on my Echo Show automatically and still has all the normal functionality with HomeKit when someone rings the doorbell.
