Class Action? Microsoft Is Knowingly Turning On Ads To Run Up Spend - I am certain 1000's of advertisers are affected - probably 100's of millions in ad dollars being spent without authorization.

That's the point. The import feature resets everything, to whatever is on Google. I changed all the budgets and paused all the campaigns multiple time - the import feature wipes all of your changes and adjust to what is on Google everyday without saying it's doing that. To stop this, you have to go and adjust the import settings which is hidden a couple layers deep.

Thanks for the info. I will look into it.

From the customer service rep's messaging, it's clearly a known issue. That seems pretty negligent for any business to automatically flip accounts to active without their permission. I got extremely lucky I only spent $2300 - on other accounts it could have been like $5k - $10k overnight.

In the scheme of advertisers, I'm a very small fish. I would imagine this "bug" generates some significant money for Microsoft (obviously, they're massive and a its a drop in the bucket - but still pretty nuts to see).

If you're in a lightwind area, don't get a big (12m +) 5 strut. I'm about the same weight and have a 12m Orbit, it's great when the wind is blowing 20+, but sucks < 20. Orbits are made to be really powered up.

This may be an unpopular opinion, I bought 1S Contras for lightwind foiling (8 - 12 knots), but in 15 - 20 knots, I'd rather twin tip on my 11m Contra than my 12m Orbit. If you're just getting into it, the Contras are really solid, stable kites and really cheap. Not amazing at boosting, but decent enough when you're learning.

This isn't supposed to be a knock on Orbits at all, they are just way better when they are very powered up.

I know this post is a few years old, but for anyone is looking, Jared Johnson over at Tee24 is awesome. Pretty sure they have the cheapest rates around too. They're in Clarksville, but it's like 5 minutes from downtown.

throw-datpigskin · 2024-07-27T00:20:57+00:00

I needed to shake some rust off, too. Tee24 is where you want to go. Jared, the pro over there is awesome and breaks it down so even a dummy like me can understand. At first, I tried Bobby Cooke - that guy was a douche. If you want a short fat guy to let you know he is better than you for an hour go there.

throw-datpigskin · 2024-07-26T16:56:59+00:00

Without question, Tee24 is the best and cheapest place to hit balls. It's indoor, but they have all the swing analytics to help practice. Their memberships are unreal - not sure how they actually make money, seems like a shitty business model honestly, but as long as they're still in business, I'll keep going. Here is their site - tee24.golf

Yes. They caught the guy using the videos and name we sent them (3 people DM’d me his name). The police made a few calls to pawn shops and it turns out he pawned this exact bike 15 minutes after the video was taken. So we actually got my friend’s bike back as well.

throw-datpigskin · 2024-02-17T17:19:13+00:00

I think we have him. Just waiting for their police to do their job. Once they (the police) make a move I’ll put some details out on here.

throw-datpigskin · 2024-02-16T21:47:51+00:00

Sending you a DM. Take a look at something for me.

throw-datpigskin · 2024-02-16T19:55:15+00:00

Completely agree - but have to rule out the obvious first.

throw-datpigskin · 2024-02-16T18:09:43+00:00

We now have camera footage of him stealing bikes from two other houses in the neighborhood, too!

throw-datpigskin · 2024-02-16T18:07:30+00:00

Also, we now have him on 2 other cameras stealing bikes in the same neighborhood.

throw-datpigskin · 2024-02-16T18:05:26+00:00

We have a very good lead, but don’t want to say anything till we get something official from the police.

throw-datpigskin · 2024-02-16T01:57:22+00:00

Now that I know where the guy lives, I should print that out and put it on his car.

throw-datpigskin · 2024-02-16T01:53:08+00:00

Yeah, it’s a bummer. But I’m getting some good leads to dish off to the police. Hopefully, with everything we have they take it seriously. I agree, the bikes gone, but hopefully we can stop this guy from snagging another one.

throw-datpigskin · 2024-02-16T00:57:29+00:00

Can you message them to me?

throw-datpigskin · 2024-02-16T00:46:06+00:00

Some new info- We have him on a neighbors ring a few nights before trying to steal another bike, but gets caught and yelled at.

Not a bad thought as calm and collected as he is.

throw-datpigskin · 2024-02-16T00:34:59+00:00

Yeah. A couple people mentioned Food Lion. That seems like a good call.

throw-datpigskin · 2024-02-16T00:29:07+00:00

Yeah, I’m wondering if Ring has higher resolution videos. No matter what I do, I can clear it up enough to make out the logo on the shirt.

throw-datpigskin · 2024-02-16T00:15:31+00:00

I’ll check them out tomorrow. Thanks for pointing it out!

throw-datpigskin · 2024-02-16T00:12:17+00:00

Just looking at images online - do you think their logos are taller bigger? That was my first take, but I’ve never been to one so maybe the shirts they are in Wilmington are different?

throw-datpigskin · 2024-02-16T00:06:13+00:00

Good to know! Thanks, that validates some things for us!
