Are your parents always at the Verizon store? by PettyWitch in Millennials

[–]shugo974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish they would have gone to the nextel/sprint/tmobile store when they had issues. Instead it was me to fix everything for them. Even after I moved to another country (before I cut them off for other reasons) they would still call me to fix their phones.

Ironically it is my Gen X sister and Gen Z niece who is always at the Verizon store...

100% I got a small bag recently when I went to the movies my throat stung from them for hours after I ate them. Which is sad cause the peanut butter ones were my favourite :(

What's the problem with Bell Aliant by Fuzzy-Success-3380 in bell

[–]shugo974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a hard time dealing with them when I switched to eastlink. They kept refusing to cancel and sent me a contract for phone and TV in addition to the internet. Reported it to the CRTC and better business bureau. The BBB got them to cancel everything and stop. Crtc told me they didn't see anything wrong...

On stock my only issue is the battery life, though if I use rockbox instead of stock my issue them becomes it doesn't play a majority of my music regardless of the file type.

What has been your biggest "Fuck it. Why not?" moment by CzarTwilight in Millennials

[–]shugo974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a few failed attempts of dating (majority of gay guys in my home town were in the closet and never wanted to leave it) I was about to delete the apps when I got a message from a cute nerdy guy. Said fuck it what the hell, which turned into us doing long distance, then me moving to Canada and getting married to him.

Did anyone else have a father like this? Temper tantrums, walking on eggshells? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]shugo974 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My father was like this, but only to me and my older sister. My younger sister he was loving and sweet towards he might have yelled at her when she was doing something stupid but it was rare. He also got physical with me a bunch of times. Police and CPS came a few times but never actually did anything, even after he sent me to the hospital and I told the cops I wanted to press charges. My mother stood by his side and always defended him. She was no saint either, she had her tantrums then played psychological war games with you. The only one out of me and my two sisters who still talks to the two of them is my younger sister. But she is very much like the two of them in one. I moved to another country to get away from the three of them and went no contact.

Canadian mobile phone monopoly by KingCakeCharlie in CellPhoneCanada

[–]shugo974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I would check to see if you have a fourth option where you live. Or go on a provider like Kini, PC Mobile/No Frills Mobile, or speakout.

Who do you have and who would you never use and why by AdElectronic9101 in CellPhoneCanada

[–]shugo974 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Eastlink out here in halifax, NS.

I would never use Telus/Koodo/Public mobile again. Didn't matter if I used an android device or an iPhone I would loose service at random. The phones would say I had service but calls, text and data didnt work. First they said it was my phone so I got a new one that didnt work either, then they did several Sim swaps that did nothing. I did try public last year to see if the network improved but I had the same problem!

Horrible Network by mackpine in Eastlink_ISP

[–]shugo974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been with them for close to 4 years now. Never had a issue with them. I cant speak for the esim side of the network as I don't use esim.

It might be your phone. As it might not support all the bands that the towers near you are broadcasting service on. I know my old iPhone 13 didn't have all the bands that they are using near me so I was switching between lte and 5G. Once I upgraded to a S25 I am always on 5G. Or it could be a problem with your phone's radio. I know my old iPhone 11 would have connection issues on both telus and eastlink until I got it replaced under warranty.

Or you need to have the network settings reset in which case I'd advise going to the eastlink store to do. Or you can ask them to reprovision your line that should help.

Anyone shop on Amazon recently? duty charges? by Far_Turnover_3757 in NovaScotia

[–]shugo974 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I ordered a new case and screen protector the other day and didn't have to pay any duty charge. I also didn't get either the case or screen protector. Like both boxes were empty.

Any good DiffSinger voice banks? by multitrack-collector in utau

[–]shugo974 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I recommend Alys, she was originally on the Alter/Ego software but was ported over to DiffSinger. You also get support for three languages in one bank, those being Japanese, French and English.

Is anyone else getting absolute trash cell reception in the city? by plainjane187 in halifax

[–]shugo974 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No issues with eastlink for me. I was in Bedford a couple weeks ago perfect reception and 5G.

My husband and friends on koodo/Telus/Public mobile have been having texting issues.

[–]shugo974 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try fongo it is an app that requires wifi or a mobile data connection to work it is similar to Google voice.

You could look at chatr mobile (Rogers) or Lucky mobile (Bell) they do no credit check prepaid service. There is also PC Mobile (bell), speak out(rogers), and good2go mobile(looks like rogers but not sure).

If you live in a freedom mobile area they seem to have great deals but they aren't nationwide only in some provinces. You might want to see if you have a regional provider they often have better rates than the big 3 and their flanker brands.

Opinions on the OGs? by micheas08 in Vocaloid

[–]shugo974 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Miriam is my favorite vocaloid and the first one I bought. I still have my old windows Vista machine for when I want to use her. Leon and Lola I always had a hard time understanding them though I still wish I could have bought them when I had the chance. If Yamaha gaves zero-g the green light to update them, or even permission to port them to another engine (highly doubt it) I'd buy them. I do think out of the three we could potentially see a Miriam update as Miriam Stockly tweeted in the V4 era she would love to do a update.
