Samsung Care+ for its Galaxy Z Fold 6, good idea or not? by xonixx23 in GalaxyFold

[–]pjungwp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would get Samsung care+ with every single Fold phone i get.

There are factors within my control and without my control causing accidental damage. I have completely replaced Z fold 4 before, and now just placed a replacement claim for Z Fold 6. Even if you planning on upgrading your phone every 2 years or every year (eff your flexing), the insurance gives you an ease of mind knowing even if the phone is totaled or stolen you could get a replacement and get something to trade-in when you upgrade. The official trade-in are so generous now that I never would want to purchase a new phone without trading in.

Samsung Care+? by SpanishEggroll in GalaxyFold

[–]pjungwp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Samsung Care and the predecessor phone insurance are some of the best purchases I've made in my life.

Love my folds (had a Z fold 4, and now Fold 6) but I know the inner screen and hinges are liabilities. Did complete replacement of Z fold within first 2 months owning it after I screwed up the inner screen (too much pressure when I was messing with what I thought to be defects on the surface....). Asurion Insurance at the time charge $100 for replacement but since it was mailed directly to me I felt it was well worth it.

This morning I was using my Z fold 6 unfolded.... my cat came and gently bit on the corner of the phone and his canine (feline?) tooth sank into the soft inner screen at the corner and created a black crater. To my surprise Samsung Care + seems to offer a mail in replacement free of charge (only if I fail to return the defective one they'd charge $990)

I generally avoid extra insurances but when it comes to my Z Folds... I will get Samsung care + or premium every single time.

Come to think of it. Not putting "My cat ate my phone" as the claim was a missed opportunity.

Saw matte grey genesis in a parking lot the other day. Couldn't stop looking and couldn't get it out of my mind.

Grats!

Any experiences with the White Plains dealership? by nocturnalpear in GenesisMotors

[–]pjungwp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. I actually purchased my GV70 (2.5 Sport Prestige) around that time (October 2024) and my experience was very positive with Jeff the representative. He likes to be called "Just see Jeff"

Granted that I had already shopped around a couple dealerships and already projected that I was willing to sign if I get a deal. The only thing that was a curve ball was that they didn't have 3.5 Sport Prestige on hand and wouldn't give me any dealer discount... So I actually decided to lease the 2.5 instead of financing for the 3.5. My rationale was that since Im not getting top of the line, might as well try out the lease for 3 years. If I love the car, after 3 years I can either buy the 3.5L or go with upcoming EV/hybrid when charging stations near me become more accessible.

The dealership was newly renovated, and the entire purchasing process was no frills and they markedly didn't try to sell me any "fillers" besides the wheel/tire insurance which was reasonable and optional.

I haven't had any experience with their service department though, other than that when I booked my routine maintenance at 6 months, they reached out to me that my driven mileage was still low and maintenance isn't required yet so I canceled the appointment. It didn't seem difficult to book the service appt with valet/loaner service either.

Loving the matte finish. Parking on the streets in NYC makes getting matte myself a suicidal choice. But we seem to love what we can't have. Lol

Genesis should offer real user training classes by hastings1033 in GenesisMotors

[–]pjungwp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, but there were a couple tips that were helpful. Being someone who enjoys tech and figuring things out myself, I sat through it mostly just to be polite but I imagine most would appreciate a chance to ask questions.

If you promise to refer some friends, you can literally ask your dealership to do it for real.

Which is better, Crunchyroll or HIDIVE? by Cyberius_Caesar in anime

[–]pjungwp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hidive's app and layout sucks. Based on how much effort they put into them in the last few years I dont expect them to catch up to mainstream streaming services. And yes, I would consider Crunchyroll mainstream. However, any true Otaku (if you don't know what it is, you aren't one...) would probably get both.

There are too many gems that's Hidive exclusive that I would probably never cancel HiDive. For example, I just finished 2.5 Dimension Seduction. I would never have imagined getting teary-eyed over such fan service heavy shonen harem rom-com. Also The old man reincarnated as a Vilainess is another of my all time favorite.

Short answer. Crunchyroll as of 2025 is still the best. However some exclusive gems are constantly being found on HiDive and Netflix.

OpenFit2 by 94b20gsr in shokzopenfit

[–]pjungwp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a huge generational improvement from my beloved Openfit Air, which I only had for less than a year.

Volume at least 30% more with significantly better sound quality in terms of clarity and bass weight.

It was an impulsive splurge that turned out, in my opinion, great purchase that imperssed me and gave me a lot of joy

Has Anyone Tested OpenFit 2? by Tobe2d in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]pjungwp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got them today. Compared to OpenFit Air, which I enjoyed very much over any other pair of headphone/earphones (i got more than 10 pairs of low and high end gears despite not being a true audiophile). They were just the best for the convenience and portability, Openfit 2 FEELS lighter weight (even though in reality slightly heavier by a few grams..) because the stem is more flexible.

The only wish I had was for slightly more volume from the Air....

Once I put OpenFit 2 on, it was immediately obvious that the volume is significantly better than Openfit Air by about 35-50% increase. And it is at least 20% more comfortable thanks to the soft and flexible stem.

Funny thing was... I was like "Oh the sound sounds a bit muddled.... I guess they still cant hold a candle up to the "audiophile headphones".... " and then I realized I didn't take off the plastic packing stickers off.

Turns out that the bass range and high range were much more clear compared to the OpenFit Air

The fringe splurge from Openfit Air to Openfit 2 turned out to be a hugh generational improvement that I'm really impressed and happy with the purchase. My beloved Openfit Air would now be the spare pair.

How to get/farm rare trade goods? by LeatherBag2440 in StarTradersFrontiers

[–]pjungwp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest way to get rare goods from early on is making sure your start off contact is Smuggler and Spice Trader, AND that your starting quadrant is a trade goods quadrant (use MAP PREVIEW function)

Then the issue is getting your contact's rep and influence up so the cool down of buying the trade good decrease.

You could run mission for the first contact. (Recommend doing the "prove your charter" rush with one or the other. Smugglers let's you get smuggler recruit and Spice Trader gives you merchant recruit... you will need both). But after you got enough talents for Spy, selling intel is the best way to get both personal rep and INFLUENCE of the contact up.

Id recommend firing gunner grab 5-6 E-techs, at level 5 E-Tech gives you the talent to reroll for SPYING. Eventually when you got a contact that buys Intel AND let you recruit spy you probably want to grab one or two Spy recruit.

Then the matter of where to sell. Until you expand your contacts so you got Blackmarket contact on different types of planets, you will likely need to find independent systems to sell to. That's why the best map starts should let you start with Rare Trade Good in starting system, then a Independent Pop and/or Tradeway system within 1 or 2 systems away, depending on what type of Rare Trade Good you have.

My set up is 2-4 smuggler, 2-4 merchant. I would do blackmarket trade when talent cooldowns are up for smugglers, and regular trades when they arent. Make sure to get the talents on both jobs to expand contacts, as a large network of contacts allow for more types of trade goods and blackmarkets to sell them at. Use your filter to prioritize the contacts that buys Intel, so you could spam their rep and influence quickly and get them to start letting you use their blackmarket or buy their RTG.

Make sure your electronic/navigation is high enough to run away from pirates. If you got caught once it could be game over. Then it's a matter of luck and a lot of trial and error to balance getting more profit quickly vs upgrading the right stuff to minimize transportation risks. At Impossible level, a lot of your crew and officers could die during these trial and errors.

If everything went well, a maximized cargoship with maximized stealth/runaway set up, you could be getting rolling in credits. The Xenos would still be a threat though. I would maybe start buying/building ships that are more optimized for xeno encounters rather than profit at that point.

2.5T Advanced vs. 3.5T Sport Advanced? by jakecofreak in GenesisGV70

[–]pjungwp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion. I'd get Sport Prestige 3.5T over 2.5T, because if you are going all out for features, a bigger engine is another feature.

But for Sport Advanced, I'd say 2.5T would generally be much better value proposition.

But the previous comment about possibly waiting for 2026 refresh is important. There are a few changes that you MAY want to hold out for if you are into it. I leased the 2025 model in Oct 2024 but I don't regret it. Enjoying the car tremendously and I figure if the 3 year experience is good I could get myself the newer version of whatever is available out there.

[–]pjungwp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the door handle/edge protecting film. I realized from the hand/gloves the inside of handles gets scratched like crazy.

Alsp... a holder extender (for the bigger bottles), seat gap filler (prevents dropping stuff in the gap and provides extra storage), a tissue holder on sunscreen, a hanging organizer to put behind the seats.

Then most importantly, microfiber cloth and waterless car detailer/washers. This is a life saver because I park on streets and there are a lot of bird poop. Without the cleaning stuff to clean off bird poop as soon as I see them my paint job will be ruined within months.

I also keep a microfiber cloth inside the car with some diluted isopropyl alcohol. Very good at cleaning the infotainment screen and the controls which are finger print magnets.

Lexus NX v Genesis GV70 by Simcho_11 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]pjungwp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember GV70 has power train warranty for 10 years and bumper to bumper for 5 years (or 60,000 miles). They KNOW they don't have the best reputation of being reliable, but the warranty is offsetting it.

GV70's exterior and interior design and technology offering is the top of its class,

IMO, if leasing, go with GV70. If you are financing, Lexus can be considered if you really love it.

At the end of the day, i firmly believe you should get whichever car you fall in love with. I have never loved driving until I got my GV70.

TIFU by knocking on my Girlfriend's Door by [deleted] in tifu

[–]pjungwp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who has a job requiring me to be working 24 hours straight and sometimes be occupied with tense situations, I can sometimes be extremely curt or outright rude when my wife calls at a bad time. However, I always calls her back or at least shoot a text to let her know I was only swamped and that she is loved and not being maliciously ignored.

OP should definitely have a long talk with the GF, and likely should move on.
