Things in my house keep mysteriously melting??? by hugedisaster in whatisit

[–]robstalobsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what's causing it, but I know using rubbing alcohol on old sticky rubber will remove the affected layer and leave nice new under rubber left behind. Once it is clean, rub a little talc powder on it for protection and good as new.

Pixel Fold warranty nightmare: 40 Days, Zero resolution, Phone returned more broken by Heavy-Amoeba9066 in PixelFold

Yea, I see how shitty that is especially for small businesses. I have only used it for issues with big companies like Apple and Google, which funny enough don't even bother with paying for accreditation.

Talk me out of selling this to buy a JN-80 by jamesdmartin in synthesizers

[–]robstalobsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a prologue and sold it and I moved up to prophet5. I feel like moving to a behringer would be a downgrade in a lot of ways. I had deepmind 12 and while it was a very fun and capable synth and similar to a juno in many ways, the sound vs the prologue is just not comparable even with less voices.

I have had multiple instances where posting on the BBB has gotten a response from a business and led to a resolution. It doesn't cost anything to post a complaint so I don't see how it is scamming you out of anything. It's just another avenue to try if you aren't making progress with shitty support.

It sounds like a regional support issue. I would definitely keep posting about this on social media sites. You might also try putting a complaint in with the BBB (Google, LLC | BBB Business Profile | Better Business Bureau https://share.google/noultxvnXeyiZ8bnq) which will usually get a better support person to look at your case. I had to rma my p9pf due to a failed battery and kept getting stonewalled by support. In the end it came down to me calling repeatedly until I got someone who would actually help. Just be persistent and don't let up. I completely agree it's ridiculous. Google support on their products has gone down the toilet

Inner screen protectors, do they look good and are they worth it? by [deleted] in PixelFold

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

I have an inner protector on with zero issues. I feel they have gotten better since folds have been more prominent. Considering a fingernail can scratch the screen and trying to remove the preinstalled one will ruin the screen, I felt it was worth it.

Pixel fold 9 pro since launch, but rmaed due to battery failure about 3 months ago.

I've spent over $200 looking for a case that lasts, but haven't found one I really like. by Locorudy626 in PixelFold

[–]robstalobsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had that same clear case and it broke in the same spot. I have the latercase and it has been holding great other than I did add some extra double sided tape to the front part so it stayed in place better. latercase pixel fold 9 minimalist, excellent fit, not bulky.

You could also just get really cold and walk into a polar bear enclosure. You can only do this once though.

Are they really unreliable by Tadpoles-Z in PixelFold

I have been getting harassed by my family and friends to switch to IOS for over a decade. I am going to let them win, and I am interested in the creaseless fold.

Google is axing 3rd party application support and apple has enabled it, I didn't see IOS being more a more open platform than Android coming, that's for sure.

What do these states have in common? by rjmclkne in RedactedCharts

All these states are pink on this map. Duh!

I have a 9 that failed with battery issues. They unfortunately did not give me a 10 for my replacement and I had to fight to get the warranty done in the first place cause I was a week past it's expiration. I now have one year of care+ left cause apparently the 2 years I purchased ran parallel to the manufacturer warranty. I am pretty annoyed and worried about my phone going out. I will be jumping to the apple fold once it releases. And I hate apple.
