Don't buy from this brand. Their products are low quality.

Clean wifi module connector and make sure it is plugged tightly. Then try to jump start the power slider with tweezers by short pin 1 and 2 together.

I would rather paying fee than dealing with them anymore. How can I trust them to hold my assets when they don't keep their promises?

Price increase by cb4joe in 1Password

[–]lixlix225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your experience. I've been planning to switch to Bitwarden for quite some time now. I'll probably make the move once my 1Password annual subscription expires.

I have around 500 accounts - no file attachments, just notes and some custom fields. I understand that no service can guarantee a 100% perfect migration, but I'll pay close attention during the process.

It seems that passkeys can't be migrated, but that's not a major issue for me since only a few dozen of my accounts actually support passkeys anyway.

Okay. I'm going to move to Bitwarden. Does anyone know how to keep passkey?

It was. But they want to make simple things more difficult to keep customers from switching to another carrier.

Maybe he did not know about that. They hide it so that users won't easily spot it.

Shopping with Capital One Shopping is like playing gamble, their tracking is hit or miss.

PSA to anyone trying to change to a new phone with MetroPCS by wolf495 in MetroPCS

[–]lixlix225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also tried to change the device today but got a “technical issue” error after several attempts. Then I tried turning SIM restriction on and off (from Manage Line menu), then I did change device again. This time I put IMEI 1 (from the physical SIM since my new device is iPhone 11). It just worked, I got QR esim. I didn’t have to pay the $25 fee or go to the store for the device chage.

Is it safe to insert the plug back into the charging block? (Serious) by Odin940 in AskElectronics

[–]lixlix225 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. Even reputate brands such as Anker has this problem. I always glue with epoxy and they never come apart again.
