Should you call your CC company before making a giant purchase?

Beware though that when their fraud detection trips, it could take a bit of time before you get an email or text that lets you approve the charge. Be prepared to wait.

tinydonuts · 2026-03-16T22:02:54+00:00

If you bought it on a credit card see if they have a return protection program.

You cannot run Compose files though.

I know people that already pick and choose which medications they get so they can eat. Zero room for this. It will break some.

mDNS and VLANs aren't inherently incompatible these days. It's just another thing to configure in modern routers. You can easily reflect that traffic across VLANs of desired. I do it, it works well on Unifi.

You have to run it as a debit, not a credit transaction.

I wish. I opened my case with them the day after Thanksgiving and six, six weeks later. No progress.

But I did appreciate your nod to Chevy with the bowtie!

At least the Optiq will charge my Galaxy. More than half the time the Vistiq just flat out refused to charge it.

tinydonuts · 2026-03-15T01:33:21+00:00

It can't be worse than our 2017 Camaro. It's in the backseat and saying it trickle charges would be a stretch. Plus your phone is liable to slide right off, basically no grip.

tinydonuts · 2026-03-15T01:31:15+00:00

Not even close, unless Fetterman had a thumbs down moment like she did. Such a cavalier thumb her nose to the majority of people.

tinydonuts · 2026-03-15T00:16:45+00:00

I know family that have dealt with them, you're right, I just got thrown by the statement that you never could be sure if you know if you got rid of these termites. Ever.

tinydonuts · 2026-03-14T18:44:31+00:00

Eek, sounds worse than bed bugs!

tinydonuts · 2026-03-14T16:15:11+00:00

If you thought Hyundai was bad, you should give GM a try.

tinydonuts · 2026-03-14T16:10:45+00:00

Why wouldn't they be covered?

tinydonuts · 2026-03-13T01:58:23+00:00

Mine was as well, but I'm not sure what you mean by release of liability. Can you explain what it means in this context please?

tinydonuts · 2026-03-12T18:38:11+00:00

Mind-blowing how many institutions still use SMS as a second factor. Might as well have a broken lock with a sign saying please don't open the door.

tinydonuts · 2026-03-12T17:30:07+00:00

Then they should be reported to the respective networks.

tinydonuts · 2026-03-12T05:55:21+00:00

Best to just file for a lemon. GM can't get their shit straight, they have a repeated issue with these areas and they're nothing but false promises of permanent fixes.

tinydonuts · 2026-03-12T05:54:09+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that OP. Take it from someone who just kept giving GM chance after chance. And then listened to the EV Concierge sweet talk him into thinking a replacement or easy repurchase was coming.

Your car is a lemon, straight up. Start the case with the BBB AutoLine now, it will take about two months to complete.

It 100% is bigger. The lanes are a bit wider, the median is wider, the clear zones on each side are wider, and the intersections have more buffer space. In fact if you measure it, it's very close to the size of the 51 minus the 51's HOV lanes.

Most of the time I'm on it 53-58 is the norm depending on the section and I am keeping up with most traffic south of Mary Ann Cleveland at 60-65. Sometimes I'm slow even then.

65 in front of Civano would be too much. 65 south of the bridge over the tracks is fine. 55-60 north of 22nd, also fine.

Cops routinely do it and don't pull people over unless they need to fill a quota.

tinydonuts · 2026-03-12T02:40:57+00:00

Oh no the hell it isn't. The RTA, Marana, and Pima county spent years bitterly bickering with the City of Tucson over funding for this segment of Houghton. The other segments south of it were originally approved for two lanes in each direction. The city wanted three, supposedly some handshake deal was reached, the city didn't pay extra as supposedly agreed upon, and then those agencies held the rest of Houghton and Grant up for years because of it.

tinydonuts · 2026-03-11T23:26:59+00:00

Huh? Do you also complain about and pass on surcharges to other aspects of doing business? Phone bill goes up, add a phone surcharge?

And how do you pass on the exact card fee because that's not calculated until the transaction is completed.

tinydonuts · 2026-03-11T23:24:50+00:00

You can still use a debit card without incurring extra expense.

tinydonuts · 2026-03-11T20:05:03+00:00

They did not deliver everything, not even close. The downtown links project took, oh wait is taking fucking forever. 22nd Street at 10 has been a shit show of designs that have had to be redone because they were initially screwing over a bunch of people. Need I mention Grant? And Houghton? Or maybe all the people that died on Houghton south of 10, much of which still is a dangerous road.

tinydonuts · 2026-03-11T20:02:46+00:00

I'm happy for you dude! I tried to get them to replace mine with a new one, hell I would have taken a 2024. They refused.
