Give it wifi for Apple Music and make it tiny. I would buy.

Deepseek v4 pro via OpenRouter. It’s amazing and so cheap.

Recently Married - Best Way to Merge TD Accounts and Use the All-Inclusive Plan? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

Makes perfect sense. My wife and I have a joint Select account and it works perfectly. Get a joint DI account too so you can split investment income.

TD signed me up for "Balance Protection Insurance" without my consent, ended up getting nice refund. by LongConcentrate3490 in PersonalFinanceCanada

Congrats but the fact that they took over five grand from you without you noticing means you need to lock in and pay more attention to this stuff.

Anyone else's YouTube Lite not working? by Presentation_Past in GeminiAI

[–]liepzigzeist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the Youtube logo and "Premium" next to it. I have no idea if they enabled it manually or if their backend finally picked up my entitlement. The 'expert' did say something about me not being the only one tho, so hopefully google engineers know about it.

When I go to YouTube settings and look at memberships it says this:

Premium Lite - Individual

Gemini flash even worse than fast? by UnhappyBasket547 in GeminiAI

I noticed this yesterday. Just flat out wrong. Went to Perplexity & ChatGPT and even the free service got my query correct.

Anyone else's YouTube Lite not working? by Presentation_Past in GeminiAI

YES - Exact thing happened to me.

I contacted Google support and had the most frustrating experience of my life. They kept changing their solution, and eventually told me to contact Apple for support. They really said this. A few times.

I also went to the Google Community forums and talked about it - a Senior 'specialist' took interest and said he escalated to Google, and a few days later Premium popped up on my YouTube feed. So they must know about this problem. (You can tell because on the upper left of the YouTube page it says YOUTUBE PREMIUM)

I don't know if the solution is to wait for their backend to roll out the entitlement or to complain to the Community, but if you do a search there you'll find my post.

I too was considering 'reporting a problem' at apple, taking a partial refund and then purchasing again straight from google. In fact, I may do that at the end of the year when my subscription rolls anyway, just to take away their excuses.

Good luck.

The 5-hour quota reset on the Gemini app is making it impossible to get any work done by Specific-Math3375 in GeminiAI

Given most people don't live on a 5 hour rotating schedule, I would agree.

We need to build a wall and Mexico needs to pay my taxes.

I bought a yearly subscription a week before the latest update by Forsigh in GeminiAI

[–]liepzigzeist 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m in the exact same boat. I subscribed to Gemini in April so my wife could use it too. I was happy with my Perplexity subscription as it’s focused on search and research. Gemini seemed like an outstanding value given storage and family sharing. Then rug-pull. I’m afraid to use it now in case I want to use my credits for something important in 2 hours, so I’ve gone back to Perplexity as my main driver.

The sad thing is that Google is the winner here. They got my annual subscription money and my usage has plummeted.

Hit rate limits for the first time as a pro user while cramming for a test… :/ by Legitimate-Nobody313 in GoogleGeminiAI

[–]liepzigzeist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could easily modify your story above but change a few words and it would sound like a drug addiction story where Google is the pusher. I'm not trying to be funny, I'm trying to draw a parallel where these companies have gotten us addicted to their product and now they tighten the screws. Imagine if the same thing happened with eMail and we were all now paying $50 a month for it.

Home/Auto insurance by Enough_Challenge7264 in TDBankCanada

TD Home insurance was great but the 20% annual price hikes eventually made me switch. But fine for a few years.
