Serious_Cyclone posted:When I watch YouTube through a chromecast it likes to put a banner ad on the bottom for YT Premium that requires me to dig through the phone app to get to where I can click the 'dismiss' button. Then it reappears on the next video, just in case I changed my mind. YT premium is actually pretty baller though

Yeah I didn't renew Prime for the first time since I got it in like 2012. I think I've made like 4 purchases since, for stuff I can only get from Amazon. The glory days when they were actually cheap with 2 day shipping are long gone.

lol I went out for dinner last night and had a special request to change the sauce of the sandwich I wanted and to toss the chicken in it. instead of just writing this on the check and/or telling the kitchen, the waitress had to do it on the order tablet they now use. my sandwich came with no sauce at all and I had to ask for a cup of sauce to pour it on instead of having it tossed. loving stupid as poo poo

Prime was great when it was like $50, guaranteed 2 day shipping, no sales tax and Amazon's prices were still competitive. Now it's $140, no guaranteed shipping and their prices suck poo poo. I got rid of it this year and haven't looked back.

Cell coverage. I used to have a cell tower with Verizon and T-Mobile on the water tower behind my house. I noticed my cell service went to poo poo in my house and found that at some point in the last 2 years, those towers were removed and now the nearest tower is like two miles away. Why the gently caress would they take it down? It's a residential area with thousands of people. AT&T has no towers anywhere in the area at all and the Verizon and T-Mobile towers are on the same water tower 2 miles away, which makes switching carriers completely pointless. Is it even worth trying?

mawarannahr posted:don't you get more precision looking at the decimal point than the star coverage? I don't really care about a 4.2 vs 4.3 rating. The star was a quick way to get an indication of how the reviews generally are. Grain of salt and all since there's so many fake reviews on Amazon, but yes I think the old way is easier at a glance.

DELETE CASCADE posted:don't make a habit of shoplifting from major chain stores. the employees may not care, but the company knows exactly how much you stole, because they have you on camera (these are very advanced camera systems that use facial/gait recognition to track you the whole time you're in the store). you're only temporarily getting away with it, as they wait for it to add up to an amount that the law cares about lmao that's exactly what they want you to think

Yeah you can definitely bypass the paywalled remote start with a conventional remote starter. The paywalled ones use a built in LTE receiver to transmit commands, conventional setups use radio to transmit.

Cerekk posted:Cars in 2009 had basically none of the modern safety or ease of use features. Blind spot monitor, cross-traffic warning, pedestrian detection, all no. Lane keeping and auto braking, also no. Lane departure warning and obstacle detection, maybe, barely, on high end luxury cars only, and it was dogshit. No android auto/car play, no voice commands. Suction cup a TomTom to your windshield and plug it into the cigarette lighter to navigate anywhere. The only recent car safety feature that's actually worth a poo poo is the rear camera and possibly blind spot monitor. All the other features are just annoying and never work when they're actually supposed to.

I bought a used car from a dealer that doesn't negotiate, so the only thing I could ask for was a reduction in the interest rate which they were able to do. From test drive to driving off the lot was maybe 45 minutes?

VikingofRock posted:I just got back from seeing The Marvels at an AMC. I'm actually not going to complain about the film, or Marvel movies, or whatever (that debate has been done to death anyways). Instead, I'm gonna complain about the fact that there were a full 35 minutes of previews beforehand! It's nuts that I showed up 20 minutes late (because that is the standard amount of ads nowadays), and I still had to sit through 15 more minutes of previews. And the most annoying part is that the amount of ads is wildly variable — I showed up 20 minutes late to TMNT earlier this year, and missed the first five minutes of the movie because there were less previews than normal. So "just show up later" isn't really a viable option if you want to see the whole movie. Seems to be an AMC thing. I've seen one movie at AMC in the past like 5 years and it was 30+ minutes of ads and trailers. Find a smaller, regional chain. The one I go to has like two trailers and an ad before the movie starts.
