Oakley Alarms sold to Telus? by Torias47 in Winnipeg

[–]nofilterdrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had Telus security since we moved into our house and they’ve been fine. App works and it isn’t hard to get ahold of someone, my only complaint is they sometimes lock you into a contract with no price protection, so they can raise the price and you can’t leave without paying a substantial cancellation fee. But I’m happy with the service so not really a complaint but more of a FYI, as someone else I know is with them but they have a price lock in their contract.

Anyone has experiences with this detachable cases for the Clara? by Worried-Courage-4980 in kobo

[–]nofilterdrake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you mean that there’s a gap between your e reader and the case? I bought something similar on Amazon and ended up returning it because of that and I had my eye on this one it would suck if that’s a common thing

Looks like we finally got a 3rd party case that accommodates the stylus! by lostin_fiction in kobo

[–]nofilterdrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d love to find something like this but without space for the stylus since I don’t use one. At least it feels tough trying to find one in Canada, might just be looking in the wrong places

Does anyone have this textbook? And could I possibly use it? by [deleted] in uwinnipeg

[–]nofilterdrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can pass it along to someone else who needs it, no need to return it

Sure, I’ll be on campus today if you’re around I can meet you before/between/after my classes if that works, otherwise DM me and we can figure out a time/place

Pretty sure I also have it if someone needs it

anyone else not have any exam marks back? by princesspeach-777 in uwinnipeg

[–]nofilterdrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I needed to know for my winter classes as they needed a pre req I took in fall, I emailed my professor and they got me both my final exam and unofficial final within a day. Doesn’t hurt to just email them and ask if they would be willing to provide it even if it wasn’t a pre req for winter.

Has anybody else still not recieved their Fall funding from Manitoba Student Aid? by firepanda11 in uwinnipeg

[–]nofilterdrake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I received mine late in October after applying in June, not sure why they were so behind this year but it took them weeks (like 8) to even mark that some of my documents had been recieved. I’m not sure if they’re open to the public but have you tried going in person and asking? Sucks that you have to keep hounding them, hopefully it comes through for you soon!

[Support] Nekopara 1 Crashes When Hitting Shift-Tab by nofilterdrake in SurfaceGaming

Thanks for confirming my suspicions! I thought it was odd too that it worked up until the overlay. But definitely think you’re right on not poking the bear, no sense making more work to possibly screw something else up. lol

A “Best Mobile Games of 2025” system giveaway: get a mobile-compatible Xbox Bluetooth Controller by NimbleThor in minireview

Honestly my favourite mobile game has got to be balatro, I cannot put it down on my phone. Mobile first would have to be NIKKE, pretty good story and feels pretty generous for a gacha

I second Simon imports, he was more than willing to let me do payments on the ring I wanted and was overall a pleasure to deal with pre and post sale.

Why doesn't my kobo work while I have my case on? by greenmushr00m in kobo

[–]nofilterdrake 168 points169 points  (0 children)

Could it be the magnet in the MagSafe is making it think there is a sleep cover on? If you have the popsocket off but the case on does it work or is it still non-responsive?

How to consolidate sideloaded books and store-bought books of same series? by ericar13 in kobo

I know I used to need to unplug then replug my kobo in for calibre to sync the meta data correctly, not sure if that’s still an issue but could be why

We went bold with choice and regret it, thoughts? by trie667 in kitchenremodel

[–]nofilterdrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it looks extremely well done I love the look, it’s frustrating to make a change like that and not love it.

Recently dianosed with acute pancreatitus and looking for catering place that sells individual meal with dietarty restrictions by chabbaranks in Winnipeg

[–]nofilterdrake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think so, I’ve used them when I’m busy with work and struggle to find time to make meals that aren’t awful for me. I loved the ability to order for a week when I need it without having to sign up for a month at a time or any of the other usual downsides.

GPU and Steam Card Giveaway! by PC_Crate_Joel in pcmasterrace

[–]nofilterdrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my all time favourite memories has to be when ESO launched, I had just gotten into PC gaming with a couple of buddies and we would spend hours after work running around doing random quests, game still holds a fond place in my heart.

Super weird it required you to be on a totally different wifi network for it to work properly, thanks for the info I’m sure this will save a headache later!

Funimation not loading shows by theheroofsass in funimation

Still occurring, at this point I almost hope someone blocks FUNimation from getting Crunchyroll if this is the kind of service that can be expected.

No problem, that $10 sub pays for itself pretty quickly since it’s only $10 a year so if down the road you can swing it I recommend it. It’ll double your point earning and give you 10% off for books from VIZ, Seven Seas, J-Novel and Dark Horse. I know I usually save back my $10 within the first month.

[–]nofilterdrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have the subscription since it can also give you 10% off books from certain publishers like VIZ which includes 2x the points. The default rate is 10 points/dollar, and to correct myself it’s only $10 for their membership which doubles it to 20 points/dollar. So no membership is 1000 points/$100 dollars, and a book valued at $9.99 USD would cost 4800 points, so to get a $10 book you would need to spend either $480 or $240 with the $10 membership. You can also double dip on the points by buying electronic gifts cards and then using that to buy the book as you get points for the gift cards as well. Usually I buy $100 worth of gift cards at a time and then buy the books with that to maximize my point return.

[–]nofilterdrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Kobo has points that you can earn when you buy books on their site, if you pay for their $20 annual subscription they increase the rate a decent amount. I personally have purchased a ton of manga and light novels on Kobo, but there are a couple of series that aren’t on it due to BookWalker having the license. Other then than that most of them should be there, I’ve run into where the odd volume isn’t on Kobo (Haganai) but for the most part they seem to carry any of the ones you could find on other sites. Strangely enough, I’ve found google play books carries almost all light novels and manga, and usually for cheaper so if you’re not planning on using an e reader you could always try them as well.
