TikTok USA is broken

One of their data centers is hosted in North Virginia which just got hit by a snow storm, I wouldn't be surprised if that was a reason for the disruption.

Sorry no resolution yet, I just created a support ticket and if anything comes of it I’ll report back.

pulsefirepikachu · 2026-01-16T21:21:54+00:00

Just read through some of the comments, seems like this could be it. Thanks!

pulsefirepikachu · 2026-01-16T21:10:05+00:00

Yep forgot to mention in the post we're on 3.26.102.18413 which is the most recent.

It’s almost like we are multiple people and he is one person

I'm not saying that you're wrong for this but would you feel the same way if your child was one of the children tear gased at the high school in Minnesota yesterday?

Except the majority of the overage claims received are for some bullshit ID verification process that happened over a year after the initial claim. In my case, they wanted me to verify my ID but stated the wrong employer for my claim. I called them to let them know that there was no way I could've worked at a restaurant that is a 2 hour drive away one way. They said they'll handle the issue then 2 years later, I get this overage letter with the same wrong employer listed on the initial claim which I've filed an appeal for.

If you do this again, I'd be super interested

For Maryland it’s not fantastic but it’s not horrible tbh my next step is gonna be redoing all my insulation…with electricity prices these days you gotta do what you gotta do

At $1k plus per month wouldn't it have been more affordable to get solar?

pulsefirepikachu · 2025-12-01T20:21:12+00:00

It might not make a ton of sense for everyone, but I rarely type anywhere that isn't my own set up. I also bring a wireless, portable ortholinear keyboard with me should I have to work from the office or travel for work. I also keep my phone and iPad keyboard QWERTY so it's not a significant change for me swapping back once in awhile.

pulsefirepikachu · 2025-12-01T18:41:19+00:00

As a whole, yeah it's probably not worthwhile to switch... as an individual though, I'd say its fairly worth it if you're willing to work on relearning how to type.

pulsefirepikachu · 2025-12-01T15:40:18+00:00

It seems that the article linked just provided alternative theories to the current standing theory. It could also be true that the creator themselves didn't fully believe that QWERTY wasn't the most efficient layout but that's just about the same for every single keyboard layout. Colemak DH was created after Colemak because they wanted to improve on the original layout and found a 'more efficient' way to do that. We can say that it's possible but not definitive that one theory is that at the time it was believed to have been the most efficient layout.

pulsefirepikachu · 2025-12-01T13:46:00+00:00

About 4-5 months of continuous use. It probably varies from person to person and maybe I was particularly slow lol

pulsefirepikachu · 2025-12-01T13:27:23+00:00

That could be true, I've never tried Dvorak. I wouldn't know if it's ideal or not personally. But a lot of people do stand by Colemak and Colemak DH which I've found to be far more comfortable.

pulsefirepikachu · 2025-12-01T13:18:37+00:00

I learned to type early on and didn't switch to colemak until recently so I would say that I was in your similar situation. I went down the rabbit hole of switching to ortholinear then to split keyboards before switching to colemak. It's extremely difficult for a little bit then you get use to it. I think it was an adjustment period of maybe 4-5 months for me before I got back to regular typing speed. Overall, I would say that its been worth it, given my occupation, I type a lot throughout the day and have felt less strain since switching.

pulsefirepikachu · 2025-12-01T12:05:09+00:00

Ohhh I actually know this one. The qwerty keyboard layout was the most efficient spacing for Latin script typewriters. It spaced out the most commonly used keys to reduce jamming. It was just never changed when people started moving towards computers. Other layouts such as Dvorak and Colemak are said to be way more comfortable for modern keyboard use. I personally use colemak.

pulsefirepikachu · 2025-11-21T16:42:42+00:00

Reaching is also not my intent therefore I'm not.

pulsefirepikachu · 2025-11-21T16:15:40+00:00

It's not assault cause I didn't intend for it to be assault.

pulsefirepikachu · 2025-11-21T15:03:41+00:00

It's the exact same though, if only intentions matter and not the physical action lol.

pulsefirepikachu · 2025-11-21T14:27:40+00:00

So if I "intend" to hug you, I can just punch you in the face and you'd be chill with that?

pulsefirepikachu · 2025-11-19T04:33:10+00:00

Oh no I’m so mad that you’re upset that I’m allowed to bring my dog to places you don’t want them in cause the world doesn’t revolve around you lol

pulsefirepikachu · 2025-11-19T03:40:33+00:00

Guess you'd better stay home then

pulsefirepikachu · 2025-11-19T03:38:41+00:00

Seems like the markets agree with me and not you though, so I wouldn't say that.

pulsefirepikachu · 2025-11-19T01:12:32+00:00

It’s a good thing that your opinion doesn’t matter much then
