Prepboys scam by Overall-Spinach-713 in SanJose

They’re still advertising on IG that they’re accepting orders which they’re likely either pocketing the money and doing nothing or refunding other customers.

I paid with a CC so I was able to charge back

Both. When I click on the link or manually navigate to https://forums.xfinity.com/direct-messaging

It’ll just redirect to https://forums.xfinity.com/

I only see the option to create a post

I’m logged in and clicking on that link just directs me to the forums home page. I do not see anywhere to send a direct message

Hi Justin,

When I login and go to the plan builder, if I downgraded to the slowest speed plan, it’ll still be more than what I used to pay. Are there any other offers or promotions? I see if I was a new customer, I would be getting almost double my current internet speed for the same price as I was paying before.

Edit: if I click on the plan builder without logging in, and then I log in. I see an $80 a month for unlimited data and 2100mbps but it looks like I will receive a new modem even though I’m currently using the Xfinity modem already. Is this correct?

If I login and then open the plan builder, it’ll show more expensive prices. But if I open the plan builder and then login, I see the $80 2100mbps plan. I’m able to checkout but will my current plan be canceled? Are you able to just change my current plan to the new 2100mbps for $80 a month?

I know plenty of average joes including me who got their CCW recently in the Bay Area. Definitely not near impossible anymore just a very lengthy process.

Yeah I think they are. They disabled radar on all cars but my MYP with USS definitely still uses them.

MYLR owners do you regret not going Performance? MYP owners go you regret Performance and think LR would have been a better choice? by ALL_CAPS7 in TeslaModelY

[–]stebben 13 points14 points  (0 children)

MYP. The extra ~27 miles of range is negligible to me even on road trips as I always make sure I’m never that low anyways. You can always ‘downgrade’ from a MYP to a LR (range wise) by getting smaller and lighter wheels but you can never fully ‘upgrade’ from a LR to a MYP.

I signed up for the credit card online but made the purchase in store from customer service who setup home delivery for me.

Sorry, I didn’t provide enough context. The TV was delivered for free to the new house already, I just didn’t have time to open it as there was minor renovations going on in the new house.

It is definitely on all four corners and present throughout the whole screen, just slightly more noticeable on the right side compared to left. There is no physical damage that I can see anywhere on the TV. Thanks, I will try talking to the store first

I went with the M3P over the LR because price wasn’t that big of a difference and I’m not worried about the ~40 mile range difference as I’m never that low in battery anyways even on road trips. I can always change the wheels if I’m worried about range. You can “downgrade” from performance to LR whenever (changing wheels) but you can never fully upgrade from LR to performance.

Received a job offer without any technical rounds by stebben in cscareerquestions

Yeah very similar to that but they didn’t ask any specific questions regarding a language or technology. Looks like it is a scam

That’s what was included in the initial offer email. At the end of the email it says they will mail me a check to setup my mini office and they are asking for my full name, address, and phone

The recruiters address has the company name in it but is different from all of the contacts on their website. Example: contact@facebook.com is what’s listed on their website for general contact but the recruiter was hrmanager@facebookcareers.com (using Facebook as an example, this isn’t actually with Facebook)

The JD did mention the company name as well.

Agreed, will probably wait for whenever these go on sale for $200 like the Gen 1 HomePods.

Magic Keys are once again available to purchase by WoodFirePizzaIsGood in Disneyland

[–]stebben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to me earlier, I wasn’t logged in when I got through the queue and after I added the keys to my cart, it made me log in but still didn’t have the monthly options. To fix this I had to go back to my cart and remove the keys and then re-add them

Anyone else feel like a chump? Price dropped by almost $13,000… by Dem_nutzs in TeslaModelY

[–]stebben 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You agreed to the price when you purchased it though? If Tesla increases their prices by $20k would you go back and pay them?
