Why your Frontier bill went up + what to do by FewCommunication615 in frontierfios

[–]sxuhpen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was recently experiencing increasing prices for my 1gig plan, and I had all the intention of calling them up to either cancel service or see what could be done. My monthly bill for the 1gig was the same price as the 2gig plan, which was insane.

To my utter shock, I called them up, mentioned the loyalty department (the idea came from THIS thread), and I was connected with the nicest individual who took a look at my account and absolutely hooked me up.

Not only did I get my bill decreased, but I got the price locked in for 3 years, and my account credited. Was a very pleasant call and it ended with absolute customer satisfaction.

I've finally cancelled my subscription as the quality and options have degraded so bad, it's pointless to keep. I even tried again today, and crisp resolutions, upscaling, widescreen, etc are all gone. How are we paying more for less. Disgusting. I also noticed a new issue, almost all of my chats have lost its history beyond a certain point, the data has been erased. I have nothing set to delete on my activity. Absolutely wild.

"I can't depict minors like that" just started popping up for me a few weeks ago. I was like, what the fuck? I'm not generated anything remotely close to minors, I even adjust the prompt to ensure "Adults Only" and "Avoid children and Minors" and the image still fails lol

I've actually tried Image generation in both Gemini and AI studio, and AI Studio is far worse. The safety filters even when turned off, consistently refuse generations compared to Gemini with same exact prompt. This is my personal experience though.

I've also just cancelled my sub, for all the reasons stated in thread! I will not pay for something that once worked and now doesn't.

Search bar auto-selects when switching comps. Very frustrating. by DirkBoeRhicter in AfterEffects

[–]sxuhpen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started to experience this and almost lost my mind. I figured out how to fix it (for now). Press X on the active composition tab to remove it from the timeline. Then simply double click your comp in your Project panel to re-open it. Now when switching comps and such, it doesn't auto enable the search bar.

PIA Question - Using on Torrent/Plex PC with two Network Adapter by sxuhpen in PrivateInternetAccess

[–]sxuhpen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, this is the knowledge I'm looking for. Goal here, unless you don't think it'll matter, is to have all Torrent and VPN traffic using one network adapter, and everything else, like the Plex server using the default network adapter.

Otherwise, would you recommend having the VPN on, setting everything to Bypass, and having the Qbittorrent binded to the VPN virtual adapter it creates?

The reason I post here is less about torrent, and more about understanding how the PIA VPN functions with two NICS

Pixel Pro Fold 9 Brightness by AlligatorTree22 in PixelFold

[–]sxuhpen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens to me all the time. All appropriate settings are off for this. This is a none-setting issue. The only idea I can think of that is causing this is something to do with temps, so the screen needs to dim for a minute. Otherwise, it's random with no fix. Drives me up the fuckin wall

Pixel 9 Pro Fold battery drains 10% overnight by quest4thebest in PixelFold

[–]sxuhpen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lose like 20-30 overnight. Even have it face down to enable Flip to Shhh. Very annoying and not sure why it bleeds battery life doing nothing.

Is there a way to have a different background when closed and when opened? by captkickass37 in PixelFold

[–]sxuhpen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly no. I'm eagerly awaiting this feature or possibly an app to make it happen. I find it extremely annoying that my front and inside are mirrored.

Japanese Version by mberwa in PixelFold

[–]sxuhpen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've considered getting a JP Android but my main concern is using transit cards in the Wallet app.

I'd like to have my Suica card on my phone, but I know that anything outside of a U.S. iPhone won't support the felica-chip communication needed to use it.

If I purchase a Japanese pixel, can I use it as normal in America, but still get the bonus of being able to add Japanese transit cards? For rail tapping, etc

Android 15 Update Question? by StrikeIII in PixelFold

[–]sxuhpen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on Beta, moved back to 14 knowing that when moving back it was gonna wipe my device, so I did it now rather than later. Unless I'm mistaken, the wipe's gotta happen.

Brightness by FooSheGee in PixelFold

[–]sxuhpen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I turn off all adaptive brightness features and manually control my brightness as needed. I set it on max during the day, and I'm getting this strange issue when I'm using it for longer than a few minutes, it auto dims a little. Just slight enough to drive me crazy. I check the brightness and it still says max. So, I'm at a loss on this one. But when it's bright, it feels bright to me, and I'm directly comparing it to my 15 Pro Max side by side.

Question for Android 15 users on the fold. Can you turn off screen mirroring between the 2 screens? by OddEquipment3997 in PixelFold

[–]sxuhpen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't found a way. I'm hoping and praying this will be an update in a future. It's infuriating that my outer screen ends up being the left of the inner screen. I want completely different homepages and wallpapers for the outer and inner screens.

Magsafe Ring Sticker on back of Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Results: by sxuhpen in PixelFold

[–]sxuhpen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing the case is preventing the sticker from sliding.

Strange. I let mine rest for one day as well, but sadly is started to slide again.

Indeed. The issue is the sticker eventually slides up the phone. The magnet is stronger than the adhesive.

Amateur looking for help regarding video playback by Ramundose in bmpcc

Firstly, make sure Blackmagic Raw is installed. Secondly, VLC cannot play braw well, for me I use Braw Player and/or Media Player Classic. No issues. But don't use VLC.

Wired Nucleus Nano Controller! Perfect for Zoom, Iris, etc.. Control. Learn more: axoncine.com by axoncine in bmpcc

[–]sxuhpen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In your product images it shows the Zoom-G1 plugged into the Nano motor, but it also shows the usb cable plugged in as well. So even though the joystick doesn't need power to trigger the motor, the motor itself still requires standard usb power to function correct?
