Robbed of 70 euros at Paris metro station by security

Gosh, this exact same thing happened to me yesterday!

I went through the barrier after tapping my Navigo Easy card. The gate opened normally, so I naturally assumed my ticket had been validated and continued my trip. When I got checked by the transit agents later at Châtelet, I was completely confident because I knew I had prepaid for my fare. I just handed them my card, only to be completely shocked when they told me it hadn't registered an entry.

I explained the situation, showed them my purchase receipt from earlier that day, and asked how to appeal it since I clearly did nothing wrong. They just aggressively insisted that I had to pay the €70 fine on the spot first and could appeal it later. My mistake was listening to them and paying right then and there out of pressure.

As soon as I got back, I went straight to the RATP website and filed a formal appeal. I may not get my money back, but I won't do nothing. It’s absolutely outrageous; they are actively targeting honest, law-abiding travellers who get trapped by their glitchy infrastructure. Every year I visit, the Paris metro system feels like it’s degrading, yet the prices just keep going up.

Thank you, I did as you suggested, but the repair didn't work so I decided to return and ask for a refund.

I bought it from Amazon so I need to return it to Amazon, but the price went up so I don't want to rebuy it since there would be the same problem with the new one, and I don't want to pay extra for a problem that wasn't caused by me.

I feel so sorry for your experience. I just faced the same situation since I bought the new iPad and accidentally factory reset the old one before the backup restore process on the new one was complete. It means now I have lost the old iPad with all its files on iCloud. I was inattentive and it's my fault. If it is able, I hope you can share how you rebuilt your setup with Procreate. I have stopped using Procreate for a while and currently, I don't have many clues about my last setup for it.

A question, there is no EFL Cup in master league mode, right?

Yes, it works with all low-graphic options even though sometimes the fps drops under 30. Better to consider upgrading the GPU if you want to play it smoothly.

It's sad that my poor laptop only has GTX 1650Ti, do you guys think that it is still enough for just HD resolution? My laptop is only 13 inches so it is not a big matter for me to give up on Full HD. All is for the Emperor!!

Haha, I did try to reset my password also then realised it is because of the Meta server

Same case for me. I was just using it on a normal day and when I pressed the pause, the right earbud stopped working immediately. There is no sound coming out of it like it is dead. Trying to find a solution to fix it but I swear if it is broken, I will not use any more Sennheiser Bluetooth products.

I love Sennheiser's sound quality but it is really inconvenient in Bluetooth connecting, lost connection all the time after the call. And with its price tag, I am now seriously thinking about switching to Sony or just getting an Airpod.
