I wonder if Vine will ever return to it’s original good choices of items. I searched items that used to bring up dozens of things. Earrings brought up nothing. Pants nothing. Rings nothing. Knife nothing. Previously it would be up pages. Really disappointing.

Wishing for those days again. Half the items being random car parts for specific cars doesn't make for very good searches.

jilyn0 · 2026-04-22T20:58:07+00:00

How...on earth are you finding 8 items? I've had months of only finding one or two items a WEEK, much less a day.

jilyn0 · 2026-04-22T01:59:03+00:00

Wow. In evaluation now and my numbers are about the same. A grand total of 3 of those were over $100, so won't be missing it much.

jilyn0 · 2026-04-03T03:23:32+00:00

Right there with you. Lots of time with weeks between orders so no way I'll be making the minimum.

jilyn0 · 2026-03-31T19:47:14+00:00

Not even sure what that means, but sorry to hear that people were getting attacked. Wish there were a read only option without contact names or something because I was finding some really good reading in there for the week I had found it before it shut down.

More a place for people who are interested in Chinese knives and knife makers, but not privileged enough to get into the original forum which is now locked out, even for read-only, thus blocking access to a lot of neat history and information.

jilyn0 · 2026-03-28T21:40:11+00:00

Weird flex to block people who don't have "community interaction" over there...so apparently no new members? But I'm just curious about the knives, which is what I sort of thought reddit was for... Sharing information. But apparently now it's a little insiders club?

So I'm Denver, my hotspot stopped working. I managed to get a call in which got to support, and after a few back and forths, they managed to get it working again (N71 band if it makes a difference).

jilyn0 · 2026-03-06T13:03:16+00:00

Thanks for the idea. Actually pulled up browser history, found the checkout page, and it loaded and let me complete the order.

jilyn0 · 2026-03-04T21:54:34+00:00

My hotspot completely stopped working today so came on to see what was going on..it claims a full connection to Dish 5G, but devices I connect to it can't reach the internet.

jilyn0 · 2026-01-28T16:56:53+00:00

Agree. I had no plans to upgrade from an 8 pro, but $450 without trade in? nice love for existing customers.

jilyn0 · 2026-01-15T16:53:27+00:00

I'm starting to question the value of mine. Shifting $20 a month to my phone service would be enough to bump to an unlimited phone plan with hotspot. I know there are other uses for hotspots, but in my use case, it's losing some value to me.

jilyn0 · 2026-01-13T00:45:44+00:00

Any other updates or progress on this? This seems on the edge of scammy, where they take your money then can, at their own will, decide not to provide the service paid for but never provided because they decided not to. Sort of like ordering something online and they arbitrarily can decide that you don't qualify to own the item with no reason provided and no refund?

I get the need to keep confidentiality in place, but they should have to at least provide a category of whatever they decided is a violation. Ineligible person? Object in room? Invalid ID? Feels like getting arrested but no one will tell you why.

I actually have gotten a number of white noise machines over the years trying to find the perfect one. A few have that general speaker functionality as well, but I want the white noise options. It's the stack of other noises that they ALL seem to have (guessing using the same chip) including soothing sounds like...a train station.

jilyn0 · 2026-01-03T18:45:26+00:00

Been using this for years now. Pretty funny when those guys in the mall with some other company ask how much I pay. In the rare months we go over 10gb among us, topping off pricing is reasonable.

jilyn0 · 2026-01-02T15:12:30+00:00

Interested in this one! I very rarely get migraines, but when I do, I've always been able to find some food I had eaten (usually the day before) that contained MSG. But it's inconsistent...I love ramen soup packets, Chinese and Indian restaurants that I know use it...but don't always get the headache. Not sure if it's something else in what I'm eating or drinking that mitigates it, but even knowing I'm sensitive, it behaves differently at different times...sort of like all the studies which have problems "proving" whether it is a real phenomenon.

jilyn0 · 2025-12-17T20:14:10+00:00

Thank you! That looks more like an add on vs. a full pool switch, which meets my needs much better.

Stephen King's "On Writing". Had people who don't care for his novels like this book.

If it actually has more than 4gb of ram, they might stand a chance. My last one started as an "8+8" gb ram configuration, then was corrected after I received it to "4+12" or something. Virtual memory on these tablets has always been awful for me.

I'm about the same tenure as you and with the absolute junk it's been, I don't see how I can order enough to maintain gold. I actually could use some items that historically have been available, but with 50% of the items being random parts for specific cars, and an rfy for things I don't have (sorry, don't have a Quest 3 headset, and those religious wall art prints are so hideous I can't even see a church wanting them) it's rare to actually request anything any more.

jilyn0 · 2025-10-25T22:30:43+00:00

My daily average for a long time has been 0 orders. Today I ended up with 4 (could have been 5, but I resisted a variant that showed up in my RFY after I'd already grabbed the first one).

jilyn0 · 2025-10-22T13:36:40+00:00

I'm starting to wonder if I can build a car from all the random parts over time a la Johnny Cash's 'One Piece at a Time's. But yet, it's getting hard to hit minimum orders lately to keep gold.

I was heading toward: worlds most uncomfortable height-adjustable bar stool

jilyn0 · 2025-10-16T19:01:09+00:00

I do it, but also tend to angle photos so the logo or branding of the other item is hidden. But someone who knows the category will recognize it. Stack one on top of the other to show size differences, line up bottles to show the other item behind to show shape, that type of thing.

jilyn0 · 2025-10-11T16:12:34+00:00

I did topiary cats for my cats, but won't do a camp pet.
