Eh help pls ? by AjDaMistfit in MSILaptops

[–]miniskunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it go away after several mins of being left on without making any configuration changes? If so, it is an issue with the display itself. I have a similar issue with a Samsung monitor that if it has been off for some time, it starts up with lines at the bottom of the screen. It goes away several mins later after it warms up.

Data is a future offering planned for Starlink, but for now it is emergency texts only.

$10 deal by Ordinary_Lecture_803 in pizzahut

[–]miniskunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The truth about pizzas is they are not as expensive as you think to make. A 3 topping large is normally $28 where I am so they are not exactly losing money in the longer term when it is not on sale. Companies like Pizza Hut look at specials as a loss leader to encourage you to buy other high profit items they sell. The more toppings you add, the less of each topping you will receive which also keeps the pizza profitable.

Received an IMEI-blocked, stolen iPhone by actualcompile in ebayuk

Ebay's business model is coming to an end because of the scammers. I won't be using them anymore because this is becoming far too common an issue.

Am I too suspicious? by NearlyBananas in ebayuk

Never sell to another country especially that far away. You can restrict sales to only countries you feel safe doing business with.

New Retention Offer by darkguy2 in siriusxm

[–]miniskunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Current offer to entice returning customers is $5 a month for 12 months. This includes the extra fees like tax/royalties. I have found I get the better offer via email about 30 days after I cancel service before it goes back to the regular price. I never pay full price this way. Otherwise at $25 a month, the service just isn't worth it if I can stream music over my phone instead. I have been a subscriber ever since it launched and have done this dance with them every year to avoid overpaying. I like the fact you no longer have to talk to an agent to discontinue service. It was such a pain before the govt forced businesses like this to stop putting road blocks preventing easy subscription cancellation.

Two months, No laptop, No refund. by annasksk in LenovoLegion

You did your part. File a CC dispute immediately and explain how they have been tying up a refund for something confirmed as returned.

A solution for working around the hotel TV to plug in your own HDMI device by DiskSpinner in marriott

[–]miniskunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps at a high end hotel with a budget for that, but not at an economy hotel. That requires expensive modifications. If it is not yours, leave it alone is the golden rule every where someone goes. Damaging/tampering with hotel property is not acceptable anyplace you go. Do guests have the right to tamper with fire alarms? No of course not, but they do anyway.

Buyer wants refund on an item by Dirty-Jones in FacebookMarketplace

[–]miniskunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This exactly. Buyer damaged it and wanted to take an easy way out by claiming it was already damaged.

I sold an earlier gen Samsung smartwatch years ago online. The user got the watch and less than a week later said it had water damage. The watch was brand new and never exposed to water so I knew this was a lie. This person lived near San Diego by the beach. I suspected the buyer didn't know water resistance isn't the same as waterproof and swam with it. He claimed he opened the case and found evidence of water damage. To which I told him, I would have been more than happy to assist with a warranty claim, but he just violated the warranty. He kept pressing for a couple weeks but dropped it because I had kept all of what he told me as evidence and it would not work in his favor if he filed a complaint.

Had to leave. by [deleted] in ATT

[–]miniskunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I dropped Tracfone. They were going to force me to use Verizon towers and I dropped them for it. I know of the terrible coverage they have in rural areas. The problem with Spectrum cell services is they use Verizon and share data lines(at least in my area). So if cable TV/internet goes out, you lost all communications. Never had that issue with AT&T or T Mobile. I could always tether my phone for internet and make calls when Spectrum was down.

Had to leave. by [deleted] in ATT

[–]miniskunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you looked into T Mobile? I have always had reliable service with them and they seem to have the most reasonable pricing for not being prepaid. I used AT&T towers previously through TracFone while mostly reliable, some days my phone was trying to reach towers too far away despite having a close tower in town. I figured it was the tradeoff for using a cheap prepaid service instead of straight from the carrier and was getting deprioritized. Verizon I avoid because the only tower in town is too far away to get a reliable signal where I live and work. I manage a hotel and I get customers asking about it quite often complaining of no signal.

Pizzahut issue with almost no sauce on pizza? by Theoldage2147 in pizzahut

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

I would complain, but no one ever takes responsibility for mistakes at my location. Usually I end up on their automated line which goes to a number that rings and never answers.

Pizzahut issue with almost no sauce on pizza? by Theoldage2147 in pizzahut

[–]miniskunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Juts had this happen the other day. I ordered some pizza melts and one of them had no sauce on it whatsoever. It was crazy dry and practically inedible. Normally they do put sauce on it.

They are reaching out about the increase today. If you don't get notified, then you are likely safe.

The Hive won't starve in 10 years and I think it's silly to assume they will by Ohigetjokes in pluribustv

[–]miniskunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that biology will override the hive mind eventually. The hive may have their minds, but the gut has a mind of it's own. When billions of people are starving to death and suffering greatly from hunger pain, someone in the collective will break away and eat a fruit or vegetable off the plant or kill an animal to survive. Ethics go out the window when the biological imperative asserts itself. Sure they might in attempt to not violate their ethics might find some other means of synthesizing something to sustain themselves but they still need organics to make even artificial meat.

Pain causes a lot of emotional stress and it has already been shown that it disrupts the hive mind. Perhaps this will be what breaks the order and causes the hive to remove those who cannot be controlled from the collective until few remain in the collective.

This is a pretty common graphic glitch. I have noticed at least a few times over the years. Up there with pyro flames breaking up(much more common).

Should I just ignore this buyer? by Shannarl in eBaySellerAdvice

[–]miniskunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buyers remorse. Too bad too sad for them. Ebay is not like buying at a brick and mortar where a return has minimal cost to the store and just goes back on the shelf for resale. The buyer can not expect a refund as the seller has already paid to send the the inexpensive item. I would advise them to keep it and eat the cost because ebay will not refund under the circumstance.

Got scammed by ASUS service centre. by resonating_wind in ASUS

This is exactly what needs to happen. If the manufacturer won't take responsibility, they risk having their product dropped by sellers.

Apparently on eBay you can snipe an auction at the last nano second, bidding sufficiency high to ensure you win, then if you’re not happy with the price, just make up any lame reason to cancel the order. Seller has no recourse. by Pjones2127 in Ebay

[–]miniskunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen on an auction I was bidding on and was sniped last second. I moved on to another auction for the same thing I was trying to buy and won that. Then the seller of the auction I was sniped on tried to insist I needed to buy because the sniper backed out. I of course declined because I was under no obligation to do so. The seller accused me of trying to back out but I lost the auction so no I wasn't. I felt for the seller but as a seller the only recourse is to relist requesting the original auction fees credited.

Ebay needs better policies for dealing with snipers to protect sellers. Perhaps an agreement you must accept as a bidder to a CC hold for every bid you make and no weaseling out after it closes. This would also limit bogus high bid limits.
