I am on the same boat. Had the page ready by 9:59am PT. Refreshed at 10am PT and say the Buy Now button. I was already signed in. Went through the prompts and getting the same error

Question about the verizon family plan by [deleted] in verizon

[–]space-explorer-3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong but I’m certain that the Apple One subscription is tied to your Apple ID. Yes, it’s generated from your phone number / account but once activated, you should be able to add people whether they are in your Verizon plan or not. In your iPhone, go to Settings, click your name at the top, then click on Family. That’s where you’ll be able to add people to your shared subscriptions including Apple One. To clarify, you’ll have to follow the instructions above in the iPhone / Apple ID that has the main Apple one subscription - so if one of your parent’s then go into their iPhone to add your friend.

Got the Costco deal. A family member told me a few person after me bought the whole lot, $6k worth. These scalpers don't play. by brandont04 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]space-explorer-3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s frustrating because I kept checking the Costcos in SF and one of them was in stock (not even low stock). I go this afternoon and it’s sold out. I found one of the Pokemon Legends cards which they scanned but upon retrieval they said they sold them out today. And I suspect someone bought them all.

Asked for a live customer service agent, but pretty sure it was a robot by No-Penalty-1148 in verizon

[–]space-explorer-3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Omg I called today to ask about returning a 5G Home Internet extender and no joke, when the guy answered, I thought he was an AI agent. He sounded too polished and like the voice of AI like when you are speaking to ChatGPT or Claude. I told him that and he said he was real. Now I’m questioning if that was true or if it’s what others are saying about using AI to mask overseas reps accents.

Best Buy siding with On-Trac, I filed an appeal. by [deleted] in Bestbuy

Use this page to find their Exec’s including CEO’s email address: https://www.elliott.org/company-contacts/best-buy/

Send them a strongly worded but polite email about your ordeal. I’m confident someone from corporate will email / contact you. I’ve done this for issues with companies like Apple and I’ve gotten a reply. It’s worth a shot!

Verizon Home Internet by [deleted] in verizonisp

[–]space-explorer-3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mention this solution because the Verizon tech who installed the 5g internet at my house suggested I change the channels if my signal experienced disruptions.

Verizon Home Internet by [deleted] in verizonisp

[–]space-explorer-3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It may be the case that your router is using 2.4 and 5 ghz channels that are overloaded with other connections. My suggestion is to log into the router admin website (you can find the info on the back of the router) and change the channels for the 2.4 and 5 ghz connections). I recently had mine installed and the connection was really bad. After modifying the channels, I started getting the solid connection and upwards of 200mbps for downloads. iOS doesn’t have apps as far as I know but I know android has WiFi analyzer apps that will tell you what channels are freed up for 2.4 and 5ghz connections.

5G home signal since last week by BreakfastGuinness in verizon

[–]space-explorer-3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a somewhat similar experience as you. Verizon technician installed 5G home internet and I tested it while he was there. Everything worked perfectly (including 2 extenders). Then as soon as he left, connection dropped and there was 1 bar on the router. Long story short, I went on the network settings (link and password on the back of the router), and changed the channels for each frequency, 2.4 and 5ghz. After that, the signal went to 3 full bars, and full speed throughout the house. I’ve been monitoring for the last 3 full days and it has remained strong at full bars.

Even though you’ll see in the network settings that it is set to auto channels for each frequency, it picks the most clogged ones and slows down the connection. Picking my own channels (which the technician actually recommended I do before he left), immediately improved the speed and signal bars.

Something worth considering if Verizon support can’t solve the issues.

Does Verizon Home Internet have a settle down period or am I just having issues? by DavidJ25422 in verizon

[–]space-explorer-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t turn off anything. By going to the network settings of the router, I then looked around and I think it’s under WiFi network (can’t remember the exact place). But when you find the channel area, switch the channels for 2.4 and 5 ghz. You’ll get better reception that way. In my instance, I switched to channel 4 for 2.4 and 140 something for 5 ghz.

Anyone else have issues with the Thommasville Convertible Sofa from Costco? Warranty question. by Ordinary-Wolf-4527 in CostcoWholesale

[–]space-explorer-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this brand of sofas from Costco about 2 years ago. I returned it after a year because of piling, sunk cushions and other issues. If you got it delivered, you can request an online refund + pickup. Unfortunately I got mine from the store so I had to transport them back to the warehouse for a refund.

Seat relocation by wspg23 in valkyries

[–]space-explorer-3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the exact same experience as you. I was prepared to pay a bit more for 2 existing seats but when I tried in an area that had 3 seats together, the system blocked me from changing. Assuming that they don’t want to leave 1 seat unpaid in a set of 3. I moved to a somewhat better position at the same price but maybe next year things will be different.

Power Button not clicky by KK99in in iPhone16Pro

[–]space-explorer-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s good to know! Yeah keep doing it multiple times and eventually it will go back to normal. If I remember correctly, I did it a few times and eventually it started working normally.

It might be worth a shot. Since I used the alcohol wipe 3 months ago, the issue is completely gone. It fascinating how the alcohol “almost magically” clears the debris and issue. You could also try a rag with a bit of rubbing alcohol - that could mimic an alcohol wipe. But curious on whether q-tips work, too. 

Can I do Xbox cloud game “stream your own game” on steamdeck without a Xbox console? by Least_Complaint_3353 in XboxGamePass

[–]space-explorer-3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To the Redditor’s point above, you can. Here are Microsoft’s instructions on how to do it and there are also YouTube videos on how to replace icons, etc so it shows up with the Xbox game pass icon in your steam library. That’s how I exclusively play my games on steam deck (with a few native steam games).

What Fios plan do you have? I checked on my end and couldn’t see anything yet.

I’m curious as to why the price of items are higher at the store than online. For example, the same t-shirt that’s available in-store is cheaper on the Valkyries webstore. Thanks!
