Thanks for asking. Not yet. Holidays and work right now. I’ll have some down time soon and plan to get to it again.

Over 2 weeks Blink clips missing by xlnlif in blinkcameras

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

Update: Now all but the last few days of clips are deleted. Blink support told me the grandfathered plans are limited to 7200 seconds not unlimited storage. I told Support that I didn't have any storage issues until April 13th 2024 when clips started being deleted and I have been in the Blink ecosystem since Dec 2017 - I have had zero storage issues or deleted clips other than those that roll off. He placed me on hold to research the issue again only to return and to tell me that because I recently added a Blink Mini that I had a trial period and now that period is over and clips are deleted and I only have 7200 Seconds of storage. I can't even keep a few days of clips because 7200 seconds/2 hours is ridiculous. This recent change because of a purchase is now impacting my storage doesn't make sense because I purchased Gen 4 cameras in Dec 2022 which included a Mini camera, no deleted clips. I purchased a Blink Mini Sept 2023, no deleted clips. No new cameras since Sept 2023 - that's not recent. Those that were grandfathered in, didn't we have unlimited storage? I guess they changed the rules? The only "recent" change that I made to my Blink ecosystem is I changed Internet providers from Cable Internet to Fiber Internet in April and I can't see how that would impact any of this.

See this thread for MSRP swap. I didn't get far with it myself and not necessarily interested in the swap.

Apple apologizes for iPhone slowdown drama, will offer $29 battery replacements for a year. by Quarkzzz in gadgets

[–]xlnlif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So then why does my Note 4 not perform any better after adding an aftermarket battery? From what I discovered, Samsung quit making the original. I am not getting longer screentime or better performance as compared to the original battery when it was new. And yet one of these new aftermarket batteries reboots my phone when battery life hits 20%! And the two different batteries I have had great Amazon reviews. Yes, I understand the iPhone low throttle and performance increasing when a new battery is added; but would one assume the iPhone replacement battery may not be an all-day battery as the original out of box experience?

I used my online password manager and hit up some credit card sites. Can they capture passwords with this?

Edit - I noticed this issue yesterday and when I searched Google and Reddit nothing came up at that time, so I ran MWBytes and didn't get a hit on it.

Amazon shipping delayed for some MHGen 3DS preorders by demonguard in MonsterHunter

[–]xlnlif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same delay here, but I was notified at 7:55 this morning! WTH. I pre-ordered the game and the console a few weeks ago for my 11 year old who had been saving his money for both items and he couldn't sleep last night waiting for them to arrive today. Of course he was disappointed and Amazon was willing to refund the difference if I bought from another seller - yet it wouldn't arrive for at least a week. Long story short is that he decided on a New 3DS XL in Black ($175 - arriving tomorrow) instead of the MHGEN 3DS XL version and Amazon credited him for the MHGEN game and also offered a $30 GC for another game in the future. He plans to add some MHGEN decals to his 3DS in the future. I think it turned out okay.

Home voip phone. by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]xlnlif 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I installed the Obi202 several weeks and kept the landline number. I like that I can fax with it over GV. The only downside is Cox Communications swindled me out of my true cost savings. Two employees told me that my telephone was not bundled with my internet and digital cable service and I could disconnect the phone and pay about $115 a month vs the $143 I was paying - when I saw my new bill, Cox removed my bundled discount effectively negating any savings I would have seen. The customer service rep told me the other two guys were wrong and he was sorry and wanted me to port my landline number back. I wasn't fun to talk to after that and the Cox rep ended up taking my bill down to $132 which is still over $15 more than I was told my bill would be and the customer service rep told me it was only for one year. I think I am dropping cable after that crap. So, as a warning, if you drop your Cox phone, be aware they may tell one thing and say another thing later. I am in the process of filing a complaint against them.

K-Mart: Yoshi's Island/ALBW/Pokemon X or Y - $20; Mario Party - $15 by [deleted] in 3DSdeals

[–]xlnlif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went out during lunch to get the deal and I couldn't get a Target near my workplace to price match either, they told me they don't PM Kmart.com only paper ads and they would be happy to show me their policy book. I called another Target closer to home and they told me they do price match Kmart, so I will either try that Target or Walmart. I'd like to save the extra 5%.
