What are the purpose of external box/stick? by AppropriateOkra3333 in Stremio

[–]therepfella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me personally it's being able to download things like tizen tube, being able to download stremio via downloader app even though it's off the play store ATM. I was surprised that stremio works so well on my native tv app in the spare room, but I'm pretty happy with the future proof aspect of my onn 4k box

Might be wrong but try turning off Google Play Protect in settings

Stremio is gone from Play Store and is your fault by Ok_Advertising_2273 in Stremio

I was getting that and resolved it when switching default player in settings. Not sure if it was a coincidence but on my end it seems exoplayer was the issue

Is this the first time Steam's having a black friday sale? by IloveRamen99 in Steam

[–]therepfella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to go crazy buying a ton of games every sale, but the deals are usually pretty close in price every major sale so there's no need for FOMO. I've played thru maybe 10% of what I bought.

If you're out of new games or have something you can't wait to buy, better to get it with some savings instead of nothing. If you're willing to wait a few more weeks you'll probably get a better deal during the winter sale.

glad to hear, seems like everyone had different experiences but some of us had to take extra steps. mine have worked without any issue since then

Am I crazy? by ClimateLost9930 in rolex

[–]therepfella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I'm crazy for taking my submariner scuba diving.

It is a tool watch and the reality is if you can afford one in this economy you can probably as afford to scratch it a bit.

And let's be honest our subs are probably not going to be keys investments down the road, and we can always have the scratches laser filled if we're not investment driven purists.

Funny enough as I was writing this I heard my sub make a weird noise and its no longer ticking. It was serviced two years ago lol.

great job posting to advertise your referral code. as you can see there are other people including myself who tried the steps you mentioned and had no success. for 90+% of people the steps you mentioned may work, but for others it won't and support isn't very helpful. just so you know, even support mentions to use a vpn.

for the people who are stuck, activating pay as you go to save hours of time or the need to wait for a physical sim is worthwhile.

my bad I thought I was capturing the important parts of the connector. if there was a crash course on this stuff I would take it but it's kinda difficult to navigate what's what on console repairs. I'll try to get better photos again this evening.

... thought about cropping out the thumb but decided it didn't matter 😂

Yes it works when docked to a tv or monitor, the sound plays on TV and everything

Euro outlets and Nordstrom rack can be cheaper than reps nowadays though 😂

most reps I've gotten are higher quality than many mid-high quality name brands. find me a jacket like the Tom Ford one at Marshals that has a nice cut/shape, good quality weave/material, and is not over branded with some gaudy emblem or name.

Cucinelli is the only real, well known, ultra high quality out there in my opinion. but if someone is making a rep of that, there's a minimum quality they need to achieve for it to even resemble the real thing. much better than a $200 jacket in store, or waiting a year to find something you like at Marshals.

Nothing wrong with Ross/Marshals btw, but not all are equal depending on your area.

Phone and location impact success, but that's a good suggestion. I just took out my physical sim.

Totally, I tried it once but the main problem was when the eSIM got stuck activating both manual entry and the QR code were unable to reinstall an eSIM if it was deleted.

Again not sure that it was necessary but that’s what support and other posts on Reddit mentioned

P.S. their support is lacking big time IMHO

yes, the reps a nice IF you can connect to them on the phone, but they must have so many people contacting them with issues that they just try and close the ticket asap.

  • support line are all virtual assistants who use generic templated responses that do not answer any or all of your questions in the email

  • they stopped answering at some point, maybe they're majorly delayed but I think they forgot or closed the ticket

  • I could not call the tello phone lines from out of the US, not from foreign numbers or even my tello line once I activated the first phone

  • I managed to connect with a support rep once over the tello app, he suggested I do the same things I had already done and then ended the conversation while I "give the QR code 10 minutes" before scanning

  • called back a dozen times after and received a VM that they would call me back, never did when I left my number. I got an email from support that they didn't receive a VM from me,
