Hello.

I am banned from the clubhouse app after I made fun of Z*on*sts.

It looks like it banned my whole phone. Does anyone know how to get around such bans?

 

I work on an app that does device bans. If you do a software reset, it should reset the device ID and let you get around the ban. If they use the same identifiers we do, anyway.

 

what is a software reset on an iphone?

 

How to factory reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

 

thank you

 

damn, i gotta erase all my content settings? woof.

 

Yeah, I don't know a way other than that unfortunately. That's why we do device bans, because most people don't care enough to set everything back up lol. Not sure if they support it, but you might be able to use blue stacks on a PC/Mac to continue making new accounts without having to reset everything.

 

just got pihole up and running on my local network. pages load so much faster without ads lol

 

Is there actually even screen protector (for phones) that doesn’t get dust and stuff under it? Lol

 

I ordered this one last September and it still looks great. Never had an issue with any Spigen product honestly https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08DQT3F3C/?tag=absolutepunk-20

 

Interesting, that was one of the two i was considering but went for the other one because I read the instillation was tricky

 

Naw wasn't too bad for me, but I used to work in retail sales for AT&T and applied screen protectors 6 or 7 times a day so maybe that's why

 

Yeah, I really just dislike that weird double stick thing. The one I got had a plate that you put it over and it was fairly simple. Really wish they just made one that covered the whole screen and not just most of it.

 

Yeah, work at Verizon myself and if they are applied correctly there shouldn’t be a reason for dust to get under them

 

Yo fuck Samsung, I think I may finally jump ship to iOS. They pushed an update that messed up tons of people's phones from the S20 through S22, and even Verizon employees are posting on Samsung subreddits about it. Audio now cuts out in all of my phone calls so nobody can hear me, and I can barely hear them. This has been an issue for weeks now. Not only that, but a couple months ago, they pushed an update that broke all 120hz scrolling and it took them weeks to fix that, too.

Sucks I still owe $400 on this thing

 

interesting, I have the S21 and haven't gotten the update yet

 

Yeahh from what I hear, they pulled the update

 

Anyone know why my IG group DMs keep fucking up? I have a group chat with some friends on there and we had to start an entire new one because the old one randomly stopped letting us send shit. And now it’s doing it to me again today. It’s saying “sending…” on a couple memes I sent an hour ago. Like, it won’t send them, it wont give me the option to unsend, and anything else I send gets put into the “sending…” queue. When it did this last time, it eventually, many hours later gave me the “can’t send” and allowed me to delete them, but it didn’t fix the dm

 

So my mom got me a ring a couple months ago and I finally set it up.

Question—is that clear plastic film supposed to come off? It looks like it does, but also it’s like…really on there. But my picture right now is very blurry on the edges and I’m pretty sure it’s because of the plastic covering. But google searches seem to be…super inconclusive about whether it’s supposed to come off or not lll

 

Where is this plastic film? I don't remember it when we got ours

 

On the top 3rd of the ring where the lens is. There was one of those peel tabs on it like other things with screens that have plastic film will have, and I peeled it it and came off the top of the ring and a small chunk on the front came off too but not the rest. And it really feels like it’s not supposed to come off with how impossible it seems to get it off

 

Pretty certain it's supposed to come off. I don't think ours was that difficult to peel off though

 

^^^Finally got that plastic off. It took more effort than I would have expected for something temporary lol

Has anyone noticed songs going missing from the music sticker for IG stories? Like it now only has certain Dashboard songs, with ones like "stolen" not on there now

 

Any idea what the best cameras are on the market today for photography? I’ve always used Camcorders for videos for years, but I want to get a good camera for photography. I just have no idea where to start.
