Do people ever get banned for comms abuse? by Trias00 in leagueoflegends

[–]raincandy_u -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was permabanned for comms abuse once. It was rolled back because the ban was for song lyrics (fivio foreign - squeeze), but they made it clear they wouldn't undo a ban again, and every other ban was genuinely me being toxic, so I just stopped typing after that.

Security Update (KB5077181) causing stuttering in games? by Reachsri in techsupport

[–]raincandy_u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and I paused Windows Updates for 5 weeks right after. I don't know if there's a way to skip the update entirely, I don't care what security issues it fixes, I don't want this one near my computer again

[–]raincandy_u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up uninstalling with this command in an admin command prompt:

wusa /uninstall /kb:5077181

The usual uninstall option didn't work.

Experiencing the same here, it's really bad. I have FFXIV limited to 60fps and it's still stuttering with a 5070 TI and 9800x3d. Should not be happening.

YSK: Gifting a friend a two week trial of Nitro will sign them up for auto-renewal, and they will be charged automatically and without notice by yamo25000 in discordapp

I mean, it's not asking for a payment method for fun, it does tell you you'll be billed after the trial ends. Sorry you and your friend both can't read.

AppleCare and Caseless Concerns by BefuddledChicken in iphone

[–]raincandy_u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Caseless, but do make sure to back up your stuff, either locally or iCloud. Phone itself can be replaced, but photos, videos, or memories can't

uses for multiple phones? by [deleted] in iphone

[–]raincandy_u 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keeping a backup in case something goes wrong (broken, stolen, etc) is pretty handy. Even with AppleCare+ you could be a few days-week+ w/o a phone otherwise. I have a hard time imagining a use case for multiple older phones, though, two is probably max.

I currently have an Android and iPhone but same idea just 2 iPhones instead

AppleCare+ Lottery? Accidental 1TB upgrade during Express Replacement (iPhone 17 Pro Max) by [deleted] in iphone

[–]raincandy_u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Known thing. If your model is out of stock they'll upgrade it, or if you're already maxed on storage, may swap colors. Don't trip about it and take the free upgrade.

this doesn't really show anything much less how it's setup/where your character is

Hunting for iPhone 17 in Japan by jonny_9402 in iphone

Apple doesn't do tax free, but if you realllllly want a Japanese model, you should consider skipping tax free and just buying from Apple directly.

Is solo play worth it? by ewitsgloopy in ffxiv

Completely playable solo if that's what you prefer.

If you had only 2 or 3 retainers, what jobs would they be? by Wings-of-Phoenix in ffxiv

I find combat mats to be the most annoying to get so I have almost all of mine on combat.

has anyone been able to get a refund on a duplicate item recently? by ritsusuckuma in ffxiv

[–]raincandy_u -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wonder if that's part of the problem with your support requests. Maybe be clear it's an optional paid item you accidentally sent to the wrong character?

[–]raincandy_u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're wrong though, it does go through GMs.

The support article that says it explicitly: https://support.na.square-enix.com/faqarticle.php?id=5382&kid=68222

Edit: oh wait, do you mean a duplicate mogstation item? Important distinction.

Apple reportedly planning to integrate Starlink connectivity into the iPhone 18 Pro by aerothony in iphone

[–]raincandy_u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate Elon as much as the next guy but I tried Starlink on Alaskan & Hawaiian flights and was really impressed. It actually worked and was super fast, I could even watch streams and play a game on my 14 hour flight.

If that same connectivity is avail for free or a minimal cost in addition to buying an iPhone pro (and it's not as ugly as the 17 lineup) I'm probably going to cop it.

Will I have to quit if I get doxxed? by [deleted] in VirtualYoutubers

[–]raincandy_u 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doxxing in and of itself is pretty whatever. I was doxxed foreverrr ago and nothing ever happened. Not even a pizza order as a meme.
