BAGS FLY AT NOON posted:I signed up for autopay last month because they’re supposed to discount $5 per line if you do, which for me would be $20 a month. My experience was that no matter when in the month you sign up for the autopay $5 discount, it'll still take at least one extra billing cycle before the discount shows up. You'll probably see the discount start on your next bill.

I can't be certain, but I think my life would be measurably better if Febreeze brought back their original scent. ... Because it would remind me of my first apartment, and the last time I was happy. Like 20 years ago.

You'll probably see the discount start on your next bill. It was a new billing cycle so I figured it should have activated. Anyway customer service told me I’m actually not able to get the discount because I’m grandfathered into an old plan lol. The plan I’m on is half the price of the new plans so I guess I’ll take that

I paid for a month of ChatGPT and tried to use it to come up with ideàs for a short story I was working on and its ideas ended up being good enough that they infuriated me so I'm not sure why I did it

I prompted 'Write an award winning novel' and dumped out a paragraph so mediocre I think the program developed sentience and did it on purpose. There's never enough popcorn or liquorice jelly belly beans. Even if you get them from the bulk aisle.

You need to download the app for my parents' ISP to do any sort of mucking about with the router and modem. I don't know if I've complained about this here or somewhere else on the forums but it pisses me off.

My ISP told me this, but I was still able to log into the router normally by guessing the default password. Also the only thing the app lets you do besides look at data usage is remotely change the wifi password, which you'd need to do because ???

Cerekk posted:Podcasts are a scourge. Yeah let me waste a whole hour listening to some dipshit instead of reading for 5 minutes. Their only redeeming characteristic is that you have to deliberately seek them out, unlike when you're trying to read an article and instead there's a loving video. Goddamn dude. How do you feel about a friend telling you a story? Or a professor giving a lecture?

I still do not want to download an app, or join a rewards club, or get 10% off my next order, I just want to order something from your website. Stop trying to make me give you more information when all I want to do is give you money!

I complained and the ISP was Rogers But based on the model of router I think some US ISPs are experimenting with this fuckery as well

Triikan posted:Remember when some people were burning podcasts onto cds, so the podcasts limited themselves to 74 minutes? There's only probably 3 to 4 year period where this behavior would be both possible and make any sense, since you need easy home CD burning and no high capacity digital storage music players. It is kinda wild how many formats came and went in the last 30 years. VHS lasted like 15, DVDs about the same, burned CDs for like 10 years unless your car didn't have an AUX jack. I used to burn DVDs for backups and now all that poo poo is probably rotted and I don't care because hard drives are huge and there's cloud storage for the rest.

Time_pants posted:Please tell me you made this up. That actually makes perfect sense in the early days of smart phones, back before most cars had an 3.5 mm input (let alone bluetooth / a USB port). You just had a CD player, so if you wanted to listen to a podcast while driving, you might as well just burn it to a CD and listen to it that way. Hell, my wife's car (a Camry from the turn of the century, which will live forever) still doesn't have a 3.5 mm input -- we use an adapter to plug her phone into the cassette player.

I had a 40 minute commute at 10pm; burning a show to CD cost me a dime. I still have that car that only has a CD player, it's old enough to drink at this point and shows no signs of dying.

StormDrain posted:Goddamn dude. How do you feel about a friend telling you a story? Or a professor giving a lecture? Nah I get it. Just get to the point already, if I'm listening to a podcast titled 'how to understand deer behavior in the rain at dusk', I don't care what you and your kids had for dinner last night. Just tell me about deer behavior in the rain at dusk, that's why I'm listening.

StormDrain posted:Goddamn dude. How do you feel about a friend telling you a story? Or a professor giving a lecture? Both the friend and professor are real life experiences that develop connections with actual human beings. I actually love podcasts but am picky about them because yes, there's so much mediocre trash out there that's some bozo telling a boring story while I wait for them to get to the goddamn point. They're kinda like books - there's a lot of middling junk out there created just to hit a deadline, while the really good stuff that stands out is the kinda thing that takes someone years to investigate/research and put together in a presentable manner. For every In the Dark, there's ten, nay twenty, My Favorite Murder style podcasts.

A weird bug that only affected any one of us at a time where when you're selecting cards, hovering over the card title wouldn't cause the actual card to pop up so you could confirm what it did. It happened to me one round, then fixed itself but affected another player, then fixed itself for them and affected a third player. Really weird behavior.

They raised the price of Doritos and the seasoning is very light on the chips. I wonder if they’ll start offering Doritos Original only if you subscribe to the FritoPlus subscription

One of the streaming TV apps I use has removed the ability to enable subtitles in the app. I have to go to the website, log into my account and enable it there. However, even after doing that subtitles won't show when using chromecast. How do you gently caress up subtitles this bad in 2023?

And they take up like, one fifth of the screen. Amazon prime is the only one that does subtitles well, you can make them really loving small if you want, and change fonts and background.

Related, I hate how sometimes when a character isn't speaking English the show's translation subtitles get covered with a close caption stating they're speaking a foreign language.

Spotify started showing an alert nag if there's newly released podcasts for channels you follow. I have (had) a bunch I was following so it was coming up every hour without any way to turn it off. Just had unsubscribe to all of them. gently caress you spotify. Hire some competent designers

Yeah many people have been reporting that issue (among a whole host of others). Apparently it’s possible to get the old version back by switching to the beta channel - even the current devs mention this as an option on the steam forums which shows the level of confidence they have in their work. I think my group is probably going to have to do that, though I’m not looking forward to talking three people through the process
