I've had my iPhone 17 since December, and when I initially had the phone I was able to use and add cards only my wallet. About 3 months ago I got a new card, and was unable to add the card. Since I didn't know what may have cause the issue, I tried removing a card that was already there, and adding it back, but that too was giving an issue. I then did a full reset and remove all cards. I've not been able to add a single card back onto my wallet. Note, this is affecting Visa and Mastercard.

I did all troubleshooting with Apple, and they confirmed it's not on their end. They referred me to my banks. They mentioned that there might be a block from Visa/Mastercard's end, but the only way to resolve is through one of my banks.

The first trouble shooting tip I saw, was to wait 30 days and try again. This didn't work. I've periodically tried after the initial 30 day wait, and it's the same exact error.

I've gone to my banks, but there pointing the finger at Apple. I've told my banks that this needs to be escalated to Mastercard/Visa, but they give me the same canned response, and say it's not their issue.

I tried calling Mastercard directly, but the phone lines go silent after I enter in my card number. There seemingly isn't a way to speak with someone. Tbh, even if I eventually do get through to someone, I'm afraid that they'll say they won't help me as I'm not technically their customer.

Am I basically screwed? I'm tempted to see if one of my friends can add my card onto their device, but worried whatever is effecting me will also effect them.

Note: I'm located in the US, and have never had an issue in the past with my wallet.

Howdy, is there a mod or known write up on how to use the beacon probe as the temp sensor, instead on the default one?

I know there's a mod, to move the default sensor location and that's my plan B. But the beacon temp is reading accurate while my default sensor is 20c lower.

I had this unit for like 3 months now and can barely get a successful print. I've probably had to spend $200 ish to get to this point.

It feels like everytime I fix 1 thing 2 others break. I'm basically back to square 1 with not being able to set the z-offset. Either the machine is smoking crack, ignoring my calibrations, has a sensor issue, or all of the above.

Doing the paper test, it either scrapes and prints into the bed (I'm on my 3rd bed so far) or prints in the air and balls up. I've tried setting it as it prints, and when I save it, it doesn't stick. I've tried testing it at print temp and it still doesn't work.

Is the beacon probe worth it? It's like $90. Or should I just take my baseball bat to the printer and throw it in the garbage where this piece of shit belongs

Before I start, I know everyone says to avoid dog parks. there is a large non-fenced dog park near me that we go to and it's basically perfect. Although there are some rude-ish dogs, it being fully open in a city makes it so that dog owners have to pay attention and dogs generally have good recall.

How much resource guarding is acceptable? Specifically regarding a ball or a stick at the park? My dog will give several subtle signs before escalating (snapping at the air at them), but I usually let it go as the other dog is being rude. Like you wouldn't go up to a person and take their phone right out of their hand, right? I generally think dogs correcting other dogs is a good thing. When the snapping starts, that's usually when i intervene, but the interaction is usually over in like .5 seconds once she snaps at them.

Should I intervene earlier? Isn't it the other dogs fault for trying to steal someone else's item? If my dog doesn't correct them now and tell them that "hey, youre being rude don't do that again" couldn't they get hurt if they do that with the wrong dog?

I know no one is going to believe me, but my dog won't ever actually bite another dog. I've seen her be pushed by overbearing dogs, and no matter how annoyed she gets, she'll only snap at them.
