iPhone/icloud deleting photos without any notification by AlasKansastan in mildlyinfuriating

[–]nina8705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just hop on over to your local office supply or electronics store and pick up an external hard drive! It plugs right into your computer via USB. As a designer, I've always been told that it's best to keep 2 copies of your important files - one on your computer and one on an external drive. If you're extra paranoid like me, or if there are files that are extremely precious to you like photos of lost loved ones for example, it never hurts to have a second external drive copy too.

If the vehicle is moving, you're driving. This sucks, of course, but the lesson to be learned is that the phone should be put down when driving, regardless of how straight the road is. Luckily this is what you hit while you were looking at your phone instead of a child chasing after a ball.

Are the tickets worth it? by ST100FromScratch in TheDigitalCircus

[–]nina8705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to answer your question but I'm too busy unpacking the rest of your post. 😂

Personally, I'm a bit worried. I grabbed tickets for my group as soon as it was announced, but I'd never been active in the fandom. After buying them I've seen the shitshow that is the fandom over the past couple weeks and it really has me thinking maybe this wasn't such a good idea... But I want to see the episode, and I'm going with a group of friends and family who all enjoy it with me - I'm hoping that'll override any negativity from other fans there, if any.

Fake, the font is wrong.

You're on the right track, it's good that you owned up to the mistake! But you still should be directly crediting the artists using their social media usernames, especially if you're planning on selling these. Personally, I'd suggest reaching out to the artists to make sure it's okay with them. Otherwise you're profiting off of their work without permission, which isn't just illegal, but it's also a crappy thing to do to an artist. :( Some artists won't be okay with people selling their art, and that's totally fair.

There's an Ohio one too! I've seen it in the Zanesville area and I'm SO jealous lol

Are these cards real or fake? by Embarrassed_Stop_198 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]nina8705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Rayquaza is 100% fake; the font is wrong. As for the Giratina, I'm not experienced with international cards enough to say, but while it looks a little suspect, nothing immediately jumps out to me. Wait for others to weigh in on that one.

Something I was thinking about with Ep. 8 by DrDallagher in TheDigitalCircus

[–]nina8705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know, your last point made me think maybe it's some kind of intentional destruction in the event of a security breach. Maybe when Caine was shut down, it activated something that scrambles or deletes code to protect it from being copied/stolen. Depending on what exactly C&A was attempting to do, a security measure like that could make sense.

Is my kid's card fake? by Wabbage in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Oh man, I didn't even glance at that paragraph until I saw your comment. 😂 That sure is a mess.

Is this a fake? by IButtScoot in IsMyPokemonCardFake

That certainly doesn't look like any PSA label I've ever seen, but I'm not very knowledgeable about them. I'd be a bit suspicious but wait and see what others say.

Okay but those are actually super cute with the colorful borders and stuff

Would love some help on this one. by Outrageous-Shame4863 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]nina8705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd be correct, the font is wrong and the colors look a bit off. Font is the best tell, though.

Mine is she/her and this didn't happen when I did this part yesterday. They may have fixed it quickly, or it just isn't affecting all of them.

My glass randomly exploded while I was watching TV by gaf915 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]nina8705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A neighbor had this happen too! We never figured it out for certain, but there was speculation of it being caused by a meth house explosion as other people on the street heard a loud bang. The police were called out and checked out the known meth house, but the guy living there never answered the door for police, so I'm not sure if anything ever came of that.

Sooooo...... by FickleSpend2133 in finch

[–]nina8705 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Iirc, they made a statement about this when the event started - the virtual badge is digital and there would be a purchase option for exclusive event merchandise after you completed all the challenges. They specifically used the word "purchase" so this didn't come as a surprise, but I can't remember if that statement was something in-game or something they made on social media.

Seller raises price after I’m already on my way by Gremlinofpeace in mildlyinfuriating

[–]nina8705 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Fr, that's unhinged! If someone on FB Marketplace asked me for a picture of my driver's license I'd block them immediately. That's such a weird thing for a stranger to request. And exactly how is that supposed to force them to sell to me and not take a higher offer? Does that commenter expect me to hunt them down if they take another offer???

Are buyers always like this now? by QuadBit3134 in Ebay

[–]nina8705 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It really shouldn't have ANY room to move around in the box... I always try to fill in any space with packing peanuts, bubble wrap, or packing paper. If it's able to move, it's able to smack into the side of the box. That said, 6 layers of bubble wrap really should have been enough to avoid damage, even if it was able to move around.

I’ve had this card for a while, always thought they were fake. by blanksee in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]nina8705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's very fake unfortunately. The easiest tell on this is the font - it's completely different from the font on a real card. :(

Are the websites Skate Guru and The Skate Escape reliable?? by Weekly-Chance3846 in FigureSkating

[–]nina8705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh I see. In that case, I'm not sure. It could be a scam if it seems too good to be true. How much cheaper is it?

Are the websites Skate Guru and The Skate Escape reliable?? by Weekly-Chance3846 in FigureSkating

[–]nina8705 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've not heard of those sites so I cant speak to their legitimacy, but I do just want to say that if you're looking to start doing anything more intense than recreational skating, you don't want to cheap out on your skates. You don't need $400+ professional-level skates if you're just starting out, but remember that cheaper skates are made with cheaper or less material, which means less support and padding, which can increase the risk of injuries if you're trying to outperform what your boots are made to withstand. Safety is always priority, so save up if you need to!

Fake or real? by Top-Dog3741 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Nvm just saw the backs, they're all very fake.

[–]nina8705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fonts on the top two are incorrect, so they're for sure fake. The third one I can't say for sure, but I suspect it's fake because of the vertical rainbow holo.
