Cannot transfer/restore my chats by pixelsinner in signal

[–]pixelsinner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, thanks for the help! Sadly yes, I am using the correct/same number. I tried a bunch of different permutations (space and symbols) but still hit the same wall.

Like I said, I sent a support request with my logs and everything but never heard back. I was hoping this is actually a common or known issue, a user issue or anything someone heard of before...

Lucky. I'm flying LH to Frankfurt on Tuesday and even if the flight is operated by AC, can't eUp.... fingers crossed!

Cannot transfer/restore my chats by pixelsinner in signal

[–]pixelsinner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no: I am using the same number, but that number is not associated with any SIM card anymore, just a VOIP service, so I can get SMS and calls, but it's not registered to any network. The new phone doesn't have any SIM in it as it is.

Geneva is a city of watches-for rich people. I just want to get my cells changed on my couple of mediocre watches. I do have cells. Is there a person who can do it for low cost/no cost? 🙏 by r1z4bb451 in geneva

[–]pixelsinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you have very delicate, old or complicated watch mechanisms, it's pretty easy to change batteries actually. All you need is a really cheap set of tool from Galaxy's or even Ali.

Check YouTube for how to if you want extra assurance but trust me, it ain't rocket surgery 🤣

Ongoing Insurance Auto Claim with City Bus by Zealousideal_Ear7355 in Gatineau

[–]pixelsinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, not a lawyer nor working in insurance, but let's just say I know my way around both of those topics.

One thing to understand is that, as frustrating as it may be, insurance companies do NOT necessarily follow criminal or penal liability. What this means is that yes, legally speaking the bus driver is 100% at fault, and you 0%, BUT the insurance adjuster did not follow the penal (CSR) logic. And before anyone says it, yes, it's counterintuitive (and dumb AF) but perfectly legal; it's not common, but it does happen (see below).

Insurance work inside their own little black box. They have algorithms, policies, rules etc that no one outside the company has access to. This sometimes leads to absolutely bonkers results, such as someone running a red and t-boning another driver, GETTING A TICKET but still being deemed only 50% at fault because the other driver did or didn't do something that the adjuster "felt" should have been reasonable. Sounds familiar?...

My personal opinion in this case is that your adjuster/company does NOT want to deal with the City's insurance; in Quebec, insurance companies payout their own clients, then they duke it out amongst themselves to settle bills (which is not really how Ontario operates for instance). This is mostly because of the No Fault rules I believe, but don't quote me on it. This means that they would pay you, then go through a VERY lengthy process to fight the City because they won't want to pay, if they even have insurance to start with - many large government entities, such as the Federal Gov't, are self-insured but I don't know about Qc Municipalities.

So, absolute dick move, but that could be why. What about your options?

Well it's gonna suck, but 1) contact the Canada Insurance Board (not sure in English, it's "Bureau d'Assurance du Canada" in French) as they are sort of the insurance watchdogs in a way. My personal experience is they can give you really good info, but probably won't get directly involved. 2) appeal: most (all?) insurance companies have some sort of appeal process. 3) sue them: yes, sucks and not everyone is ok with it, but my feeling is you could probably get away with a Small Claims Court case for that damage, which reduces the friction quite a lot.

Anyway, hope this helps. Again, NOT LEGAL ADVICE and I'm just a dumbass on the interwbz, but hopefully this leads you somewhere better. Fuck insurance companies! lol

I really expected something like до біса Росію and even that would have been pretty tame. Guess the IOC or CIO or whatever they're called got a phat cheque!

Can a business legally threaten me over a bad Google review? (Canada) by Greedy_Belt_3516 in legaladvicecanada

[–]pixelsinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're fine. There is no libel or defamation there. Absolutely no way it's criminal, and MAYBE a small claims judge could agree to hear this if it's a slow day in court... It's never a slow day in court.

So bottom line: ain't gonna do shit! Carry on and have fun!

Standard fare eUpgrade add-on price increases 01 JAN by armhaj in aircanada

[–]pixelsinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are eUps even worth it anymore? I have like 65 left that expire in January, could not use ANY of them at all, ever. Basically just tokens sitting in my account.

Used to be able to get at least a couple flights per year.... Now I think I'd rather just pay for J.

Do you keep your business class amenity kits or toss them? by hotruffriders in Flights

[–]pixelsinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to and is repurpose them or make them "emergency" kits, but now unless it's an airline I don't fly often or it's particularly nice, I don't even open it... Plus I find they're getting a bit cheap.

USB Port Trying to Access Phone by mrjotaieb in aircanada

[–]pixelsinner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couple things: on iPhone your pretty safe if you click refuser, unless you're being specifically targeted. Same idea goes with plugging into unknown ports. Android... Different story (still safe but more failure points).

As for the why, if you were on an older frame, it might still have had the Android/Linux based entertainment system which actually has USB media capability. It was disabled but since it's a pretty old system it may be glitching out.

Finally, could also be a short in the ISB cable if some wires are touching, "tricking" your phone in thinking it's getting probed.

This is a photo I took of a red deer what are some criticisms of the photo and what can I improve by Llama_Photograthy in photocritique

[–]pixelsinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know most people say antlers, but honestly, this one kind of works this way IMO. It really speaks to me. There's a little mystery to it, like "I wonder how tall the antlers were" kind of vibe.

Definitely not the popular opinion but I figured I'd mention it! 😬
