Tye Hill

@therealtyehill - FYI, someone named George sent me a rental agreement for what I assume is your music studio. I told them they sent it to the wrong person, but you might want to reach out to them. Best wishes, Tye Hill

Quick correction, it’s been almost 2 months, not quite 3. And a couple more details: - 3 weeks ago they messaged us “we issued a refund” and closed the case. But no refund. - wks ago they “escalated” our case, which doesn’t actually allow us to talk to anyone. Radio silence.

For the 2nd time @vrbo has straight up stolen thousands from me. They’re a scam, with no buyer protection We’ve been trying to cancel a trip for almost 3 months and customer services keeps saying “the refund has been processed” but it hasn’t and the trip isn’t canceled either

FYI @ConsumerReports @BBBTriCounties - @vrbo provides zero protection to consumers, please look at my recent tweets. This is now the second time they’ve stolen our money. And not a little, the first time I believe it was more than $2000 (this was a few years ago), this time $5k+

They also say “contact the owner” but the owner says “I try to cancel it and get an error.” We’ve paid in over $5000 including an absurd $3000 security deposit and it feels like they have no intention of ever refunding us. I’m so done with @vrbo

The first time, a seller pulled a scam on us. Tried to get us to pay via Cash app and when we didn’t they canceled our $2k booking and never refunded our money. @vrbo refused to assist. We tried to reverse the charges on our credit card, but VRBO convinced them not to refund us!

@Mixbook I hate going to twitter to complain, but sometimes companies like @mixbook just ignore you unless you "make a bunch of noise." I will absolutely be looking for a better option next year. I don't like being treated this way.

@Mixbook Then the customer service agent is like, "we're going to make this right by rushing your order to you by January 19. Rushing? And that makes it right? Outrageous. These books were gifts and they're almost a month late. I barely even got a "sorry." This does not "make it right."

Just had the most frustrating experience with @Mixbook. Their books are great but customer service is abysmal. They sent us someone else's books (again) and when I contacted they they said they'd send replacements, but they didn't. I had to contact them again! Almost 1 month late

@jeffbakalar Oops. That sounded weird. I meant it “IS” worth the effort to try and find those episodes. Sorry if it sounded dismissive. Heh. Anyway. Looking forward to those streams!

@tyehill Oh damn. Hmmm. I mean, this reminds me, I need to get back to pinball streaming. Yeah, the eps I've talking pinball are all over the place. I've got to imagine the tagging/descriptions are pretty good where Googling will get you pretty far though--

@jeffbakalar so I spent 5 hours at the Seattle Pinball Museum on Thursday and it’s my new obsession. I know I’ve heard you talk about several of the games I played. Do you know how I can go back and listen to some of your pinball opinions? Like which episodes? Tall ask, I know.

@jeffbakalar Ahh. Probably worth the work to go back and find it. Thanks anyway! Off the cuff, any thoughts on the recent Ghostbusters, Godzilla, Willy Wonka, and Godfather cabinets? I really enjoyed Godzilla and Ghostbusters. Willy Wonka was super hard. I thought the Godfather wasn’t good.

@binge_mode okay look. I know you’ve moved on to Marvel, but I need you to explain everything going on in the Mandalorian this season. Help me Binge Mode, you’re my only hope.

@colinbendell The improvements to the Blink home bridge project are impressive! Well done and thank you so much!

@ToolboxProApp A shortcut that ran without needing interaction from me is now asking me to confirm the “toolbox pro” action. Do you know what happened? Or what I can do to get the iOS 13 behavior again? This is the “Create image from text” action.

@ArmyTenMilerATM I just called the office, they told me that they made a mistake with the date. You might want to let everyone know that they actually have until 18 October 2020, 11:59 PM or 19 October 2020, 12AM. Not sure what the actual cut-off would be. Also, you might want to fix the website

@ArmyTenMilerATM So does this mean that I can't run on Sunday? I have to do my run by Saturday?

@iryantldr Great, thanks for the input! I enjoyed the review.

@tyehill I prefer Crouton over Paprika, but I wasn’t a heavy Paprika user so there may be key functionality in Paprika you won’t find in Crouton. Overall, I find Crouton feels much more modern and works the way I would hope, whereas Paprika feels more dated and overly complex.

Crouton is a modern recipe manager, meal planner, cooking companion, and grocery list app all in one – and it maintains an elegant simplicity despite offering so much functionality. My full review: macstories.net/reviews/crouto…

@hillimpact @Lowes It’s not Lowe’s, it’s XPO. They rescheduled my delivery twice without telling me and then they broke my $2500 TV anyway.
