OT: The Avalounge: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb [Special Edition]

[Cousin Eddie]

Apple support has been impossible to speak with the last couple of days so I'm curious if any of you guys are good with this crap.

I have an iPhone 6 Plus. I got a notification yesterday morning that my Apple ID was used on another phone and that if it wasn't me I should change my password. Yes this was legit from Apple, not one of those hack emails. Anyway I changed my password and went on my phone and updated it for everything (iMessage, ICloud, FaceTime, App Store) but now my iMessage isn't working. I also can't use FaceTime and all my recently downloaded music in my "Apple Music" is gone. I tried turning iMessage off and on. Restarted my phone several times and nothing is working. Does anyone have any suggestions?

man that sucks

go on to your apple computer and turn on 2-step authentication. That's a must for any app that will accept it.

I also started using Dashline for all my passwords - it's expensive but I am so tired of having my password or accounts hacked/stolen

I had a similar issue about 2-3 weeks ago where my logging kept getting shut down because of bad passwords. The hackers tried for 3-4 days until they must have realized I had 2 step and a super complicated password. Mine just pretty much went away.

How long did it take. I've legit tried everything. Apple support basically ran out of options. I haven't been able to send or receive iMessage in two days.

A couple days after the hackers stopped.

Here's what you do, you take off your Apple Inc. t-shirt and buy a different phone.

Thank you for your time.

Lol I'm not a brand supporter (other than wearing only lulu at the gym ). I just go with what I like and what works for me. I've had an Iphone since 2008 and have never had any type of issue in any way until now. I don't have an Iphone because I'm on "team apple". I have an Iphone because since the day I bought it (which just so happened to be the day the first Iphone was sold in Canada) everything flowed and worked perfectly for me.

 

[UncleRisto]

That's brand supporter talk.

I've had everything from Apple, over Android to a Windows phone. Iphones were the leader back in the day from their early release until the 5, now Android's are a step ahead. I have a Huawei Mate 8 as my personal daily driver and I'm happier with it than with my company issues Iphone 6+. I also had the chance to have a 7 for a couple of days and it is marginally better than Mate 8, for twice the price. Samsung devices are by far the worst experience I had.

I highly recommend Huawei, especially the Mate line if you like phablets and Honor line if you want a high end phone for 400$.

That's crazy! Duck Tape some cardboard around your feet, bro!

Or just wrap your feet in cardboard, the water won't soak through like it would with cardboard.

Edit: that was supposed to be duct tape not cardboard

No soup for you.

So I just listened to a podcast and the guest spoke like this: "I'm thinkeen of takeen up runneen." I've noticed this accent before and I don't know if it's like Californian or something but it has got to stop, it is the most annoying thing ever to listen to.

 

[tigervixxxen]

That sounds more rural south. California is the valley girl talk.

Android all the way. I have a MacBook but I hate iPhones, too many features of Android that I love to ever switch, especially now considering the way Apples been the past few years. iPhones being the untouchable king of the smart phone industry died along with Steve Jobs.

Okay, I am going to start an Avs franchise in NHL 17 this weekend. Any suggestions for some trades?

I thought about keeping these guys and try to trade the rest for young prospects / young NHLers / picks:

- Pickard
- Rantanen
- MacKinnon
- Zadorov
- guys like Bigras, Jost (is he even in the game yet?), etc.

Guys I might trade but yet unsure (too much love):

- Duchene
- Landeskog
- Johnson

Everybody else is available. I thought about getting Drouin for a package of Barrie+ and Parayko for Varlamov.

Some more young players, I should go after?

 

[UncleRisto]

I just watched 2BC's GM mode with the Avs for a bit but it was so cringeworthy I couldn't finish the video. He's the worst at trading. So don't do whatever he does.

 

[Foppberg]

Good luck America.

It is also how MTV chicks, as I previous mentioned sound like. Some of the younger nurses love watching Teen Mom on their lunch and I lose brain-cells.

Meh, you're taking it too seriously UR. He's a Toronto fan doing an ultra fantasy show taking the values from an extremely flawed EA system. I haven't seen the series, but watched a couple of his past ones and he tries to make even trades. Of course he gets too fantasy like adding 5 draft picks to it, but he at least tries. I actually don't think his NHL series are anything amazing, I watch his other games. Telltale Series, Civilization, Hitmen, and Arkham Knight were awesome walk throughs.

Well no, it's not an Avs thing. If there's something I take too seriously it's the game itself as a whole (now I haven't played NHL since 14) because I've subbed 2BC for a pretty long time and he's always been a terrible trader, so it's not like something changed there. It's gotten stale watching him go "Still not? Wow!" and add five low draft picks and try again.

I absolutely agree with you on the series' though. The ones you mentioned are/were definitely more fun than watching him play NHL. I've watched the MLB too, even that's more fun than GM mode. I got into his channel through him showing off new NHL GM features though.

after the election I edited the Wikipedia page for the timeline of the far future to say that four years from now Trump will make American great again. It stayed up for a whole day.
