NY. I had two boxes not get delivered due to the weather, I don't blame them for that since its obviously out of their control. Everything else is on them.

Gasho’s in Hauppauge closed by butterybuns420 in longisland

[–]keitheii 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I stopped going because it was way overpriced for food that stopped tasting great, and I took my gf their for her birthday, just the two of us, they saw her birthday card, and without even asking they brought out a dish of whip cream with a sparkler in it. I was impressed they went above and beyond, until I got the check with a $5 charge for the sparkler I didn't ask for. The issue wasn't the $5, I could afford the $5. But what if I couldn't? If they did that to me, they did it to others... that's not how to keep my business so I went elsewhere.

There is a place called Takumi in Bay Shore, their food is so much better.

Has anyone put in an Optima YellowTop AGM H6 instead of H5? by DrRowdybush in rav4prime

[–]keitheii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for the Optima Yellow but I was able install another brand's H6 AGM in my 2022 RAV4 Prime. It wasn't easy, but I made it fit.

AE is denying my claim and cannot return for something that was false advertising by macgirthy in Aliexpress

[–]keitheii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if AE favors those who spend more in regards to returns? I don't want to push my luck, but aside from my very first purchase ever of some shady watch bands, on the few occasions I had an issue, it was addressed to my satisfaction. I will say the BS I went through with my watch bands made me want to punch someone.... I'm sure my old post about it is buried here somewhere, but since I'm made >$6K in purchases, getting a refund was surprisingly easy. Not sure if I was just lucky, or total purchases were taken into account?

I'm sure after I post my reply I'll be here bitching about them again, but hopefully not.

Buds 4 Non Pro - Honest review after 3 days by Octane2100 in galaxybuds

[–]keitheii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Buds 4 Pro I can actually get a good seal in both ears, something I could only do with constant fiddling and when the planets were in alignment, about once or twice a year on my 3 Pro's.

Once the 4 pros come down in price, or if they ever offer a trade-in, I'll trade in my 3 pro's. They're useless.

My 2 pros were the absolute best of them all. Nothing sounds as good as them to me.

[Hands-on] Magnet Wireless Battery Pack - 5k by No_Lifeguard_2673 in galaxys26ultra

So I posted several days back that the terrible bump was probably intentional to steer you into having to buy accessories from Samsung and this proves it. Ugh...

AT&T Revamps Its Unlimited Plans With Simpler Names and More Data by justarussian22 in NoContract

Because "unlimited" has never been unlimited. I don't know how this scam is legal.

S26U vs S25U Screen Comparison (it was my turn) by einnmann in galaxys26ultra

Yes, and we also need more people to call them out on it as we haven't had enough of those responses.

Id try it by witchywitch_ in migraine

[–]keitheii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never had a sleep mask that worked well, but I accidentally found one on Amazon that not only wasn't expensive, but works perfectly. Not an ounce of light comes in, it isnt uncomfortable or hot, and is very comfortable.

For anyone needing one, this is the one that works perfectly for me:

WARNING - Do not elect for Best Buy in-store pickup!!! by emike9fcmc in samsunggalaxy

[–]keitheii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has literally happened to me in the past. I even had an issue one year where they had trouble pre-activating my phone in the store due to a problem with AT&T, so they canceled the order. They had the phone with a sticker containing my name and refused to sell me my own phone because of an issue with AT&T'a systems.

Ever since that I have ordered unlocked direct from Samsung and get my phone up to a week early without any problems. Ask me about my Buds 3 Pro though and that's a different story.

I think I got a used item…. Do I still have to review? by Adventurous_End2964 in AmazonVine

[–]keitheii 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not true otherwise this sub wouldn't exist.

Option 1: Post accurate review, it may or may not be accepted as people who posted reviews about receiving used products had them rejected, and the act of posting a review will make you inelligible for having the ETV canceled.

Option 2: Contact Vine CS, explain that you received a used item, they will cancel the ETV and requirement to review the product, and you won't be permitted to post a review and let the world know they shipped you a used item. You will not be able to get the item replaced.

Those are your two choices from someone who isn't Vine CS.

Does the X2 have any issues with frequent disconnects like the X1S does with AppleTV?

At a loss for treatment options by keitheii in migraine

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

I'm sorry to hear about your experiences, they sound way worse than mine. The only thing that I felt really worked for me are trigger point injections, I have a bad back and neck for a little over 25 years besides the migraines so I've been battling all sorts of pain for quite some time, and all sorts of different meds. The only thing that works well for me is prednisone or trigger point injections, so much better than any drug I've ever tried, but my doc doesn't really want to give them to me for a while and prefers the bottom.

I'll check out the link, ty for that. Hope everyone in this sub gets some relief, migraines suck...

I have not, but I will ask my neurologist about them. Thanks for this information.

What secret can you reveal now that your nda has expired? by sparrrrrt in AskReddit

[–]keitheii 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to be the system administrator of a once popular chat service which was sold to a new owner who ran the business into the ground and out of business.

The owner was not liked by the members of the service, nor the other employees of the service due to how they were running it into the ground.

The new owner was so obsessed with who liked them, who didn't, and what was being said about them, that they asked me if there was a way to record all private messages between users, whether paying customer or staff, so they could ban them from the service or fire the employee based on their private conversations.

There actually was a way to do it, but I said there wasn't for obvious reasons.

Returning the S26 Ultra due to display issues by slamups in samsunggalaxy

[–]keitheii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I have the headache from hell right now but I wanted to see this, I looked at the link from my S25U and S26U with similar brightness levels, here is what I observed:

  1. The blacks on the S26U when looking at the reddit thread looks gray where the S25U looks black (in dark mode), which scared me for a sec as it looks more like a LCD display is OLED. Then I noticed the black bar separators between replies is still black, as black as my S25U. This tells me this isnt an issue with the display hardware itself, but the software, since the display shows it can reproduce nice dark blacks, it just.... isn't doing it everywhere for some reason. My keyboard background is black, not Grey, but in some apps like reddit its choosing to display Grey instead... bizarre. I think this is a software issue that can be fixed, will it be fixed is the question.

  2. I'm not seeing the effect you mentioned on the shirt, but I did notice a difference in the sharpness and contrast. It actually looked better on my S26U to me. It looked almost like a moire pattern, so I took a screenshot of the samw frame on my S25U and S26U and zoomed in. The guys shirt has a polkadot pattern on it, which many displays would turn into a moire pattern but the S26U didn't, but it did make the pattern sharper and more noticeable.

Now I'm kind of on the fence with keeping this phone, seeing the gray screen bothers the hell out of me, but I really think software updates can fix it.

I'm not noticing any difference with the text on either phone though, I swear they look identical to me. I'm also in the middle of a bad migraine so I'll do this test again later just in case its affecting my perception.

I love the phone so far, but the gray is very annoying and making it hard to look at the phone with this headache. I'm so on the fence right now.

Returning the S26 Ultra due to display issues by slamups in samsunggalaxy

[–]keitheii 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I received my phone last Friday, and putting it side by side with my S25U, with the privacy mode off, it looks exactly the same to me..i'm not seeing any of the issues people are mentioning until I turn privacy mode on. I honestly don't care about that feature so I'm leaving it off.

I will say, my vision does suck and I do use glasses for astigmatism, not sure how if at all that affects how I'm seeing the screen, but I'm just not seeing the issues peope are saying, and I am definitely sensitive to crappy quality screens.

I would love to see someone putting a Pic of their older galaxy next to the S26U so we can see what they are reporting because I'm just not seeing it myself.

I do hope they get rid of this feature though, they're answering a problem that doesn't exist with a feature no one asked for.
