I have an account for years that i use only to communicate with businesses (as i don't want them to have my personal number).
Since the last few weeks or so, my account gets automatically limited to send messages for like a day at a time. I always wait the time and then it happens again.

On the last couple days, it directly logged me out of my account and i cannot use it. I can only request a review. The review later activates my account, and as soon as i send 1 new message it gets limited again.

It is driving me crazy. First i stopped using whatsapp web, and now it happens even when i use my phone.

What can i do? is anyone else having this problem?

I texted a hospital to set up an appointment and whatsapp immediately kicked me out and restriced my account temporarily. When the restriction expired, i texted another hospital to set up an appointment and i got kicked out again. It seems my account is restricted every time i open a new chat. How can i fix this?

I wanted to migrate from bitwarden to protonpass and didn't like it. Now i want to go back, but in the meantime i created some passkeys. Is there any way to get the passkeys out of Protonpass or are they trapped there forever?

Any ideas are welcome.

Edit: Why am I being downvoted?

In case anyone is interested, Reasons i did not stay in Proton Pass:

1- All creation, edited dates, and password history is not imported from Bitwarden into Proton Pass, so data is lost. This is really important for me so i cannot migrate until the import is not fixed. Also according to support this fix is not even in the roadmap so probably won't be coming to Proton Pass anytime soon.
2- One of the main reasons for moving to Proton Pass was being able to search all fields, which Bitwarden does not allow. Turns out Proton Pass also doesn't allow searching the password field. Not sure why they can't make the whole database searchable. (i was trying to search some old passwords and variations of it to see where they are used, as well as other fields within logins)
3- There's no autofill keyboard shortcut in proton pass.
4- Autofill doesn't always work in mobile, i felt it fails more often than Bitwarden does.

Im looking for international health insurance (not travel insurance), as a digital nomad.

I had Cigna last year but they made a reimbursement process extremely tedious, so i decided i will change this year. First time it took over a month for a very small claim (blood test), and second time i had a larger claim and it took over 3 months, with them requesting the same documents over and over and over again. I wasted so many hours on the phone with them, i am definetely not renewing my policy.

So now i am looking at more affordable policies like April International or Safetywing, they both look good on paper but not sure how actual experiences are like?

I need worldwide cover + USA as well. So a strong in-network would be appreciated. Or at the very least, easy claims. If there's any other insurance i am not considering let me know.

I have some devices that allow to measure Wattage when charging. On my X9 ultra, no matter if i use the 100w charger, or any regular PD charger, i never get more than 45w. I wonder if this is normal and expected, or it is supposed to charge at a higher wattage?

Has anyone tested this by themselves?

Edit: i just found out the charging speeds are fake as pointed out by other users, so there's nothing wrong with my phone, it's jus the way it is. That being said, no point in carrying a huge 100w charger if the phone will never make use of it.

I imported all my data from bitwarden, but for me having the creation dates of the passwords and the edited dates is critical. I noticed proton pass loses all this information and considers everything as created today.

Is there any way at all to keep the dates? this is a dealbreaker for me

Hi Guys, as i understand, the popcorn plan includes unlimited calls and text. But it would be calls from anywhere to anywhere in the world? or from where to where exactly?

I like the concept of Popcorn and i was very impressed the CEO answered directly on reddit so it motivated me to make a post with some brainstorming suggestions.

I am not a Popcorn user because as attractive as it may initially seem, when i look at the small print i cant make it fit my needs. But i think with some relatively small changes i could easily become a user so leaving this post here in case the CEO is interested.

I travel a lot, constantly changing countries. More often than not, i usually buy a sim card as soon as i land on a new airport. And use google voice to keep my US number for free. That has worked for me so far, as data in most countries is way cheaper than $69 for 50gb (with some exceptions like UAE and others where data is really expensive). I would be willing to switch this model for the convienence of not having to buy a new simcard at every airport but with some caveats.

Since 50gb at $69 is relatively expensive for most countries, buying a local sim still makes more sense.

But think i would be a popcorn user if there was at least one of the following features:

A- Ability to pause the service, just like google fi has (i still have google fi and i would have cancelled long time ago if it wasnt for this particular feature). Basically i could pause my popcorn service for up to 3 months at a time, after which time it is enabled automatically and i need to pause it manually if i wish to do so. If i see there's a lot of airport hopping coming soon, i would activate it to save myself from having to buy a new simcard every few days in any new random country.

B- More expensive option with more data to actually make it worth to have 1 sim card to rule them all. 50gb is simply not enough for my personal use. I spent 70gb last month on my other plan and i wasnt even trying too hard. I would consider committing to only 1 sim card if i could get rid of data usage anxiety.

C- Maybe an option where after 50gb the data speeds are reduced to something usable like 10mbps, but without the fear of being cancelled for using too much.

D- Maybe an option where instead of a monthly limit there is a daily limit? If i am not mistaken Maya mobile offers a plan with 5gb daily and then it becomes slower (Theoretical maximum of 150gb if you would use the max every single day, which i think is unlikely). I feel that model at least allows me to reset the clock after midnight, and knowing i will have more data tomorrow will allow me to continue on the plan. Vs spending the whole plan in the first half of the month and then being left with nothing, or fearing being cancelled.

I wonder if CEO would consider any of these options as reasonable?

I love the concept of Popcorn, but i hate the whole fake "unlimited" plans. It's not unlimited if you are limiting to 50gb. And the fact that every carrier is on this bandwagon lie doesn't make it any better.

I would rather you call it a 50gb plan and be more straightforward about how you market it.

I would even be willing to pay $100 a month if a plan was TRULY unlimited, and i can use my hotspot on my laptop wherever i am without worrying about breaking some blurry unlimited-ish limits.

Anyway, i wonder if Popcorn would ever consider a truly unlimited plan for a higher price? I would pay for a plan where i don't have any hotspot limit anxiety.

I am just testing to move from bitwarden to proton pass, but not having the cmd+shift+L to autofill is a killer for me.

Is this ever going to be in the roadmap?

I want to search which of my logins are using a certain old password, or variations of that password. When i type on the searchbox, i realize that proton pass does not search inside the password field. Is it possible to search the password field somehow?

I am moving from bitwarden to protonpass for the first time. Theres an option in bitwarden to favorite items. for example i have a bunch of credit cards stored but i have 1 or 2 favorites that i always use and they show up at the top. Is there any way to do this in Protonpass?

For example, i have some credit cards that have expired, but i don't want to delete them, just archive them so they are not together with the current cards. Is there any way to do this? i know bitwarden has an archive option. I am new to protonpass so i apologize if its a basic question

I noticed that custom fields do not show up when i search, and confent of notes doesnt show up, which defeats the purpose of having them for me. Any way to fix this?

I bought some brand new Asics Superblast 3 which are super comfortable. However the bottom part of the shoe seems to squeak extremely loud whenever i walk on any hard floor.

I walk down the corridor and you can hear a loud noise with every step. This does not happen on carpet so i know its the bottom part of the shoe and not the inside.

Any tips on how to make it stop? i don't want to return the shoes because they are super comfortable but the noise drives me insane.

Maybe i could apply something to the bottom of the shoe to make it stick less to the floor?

I read several times that Epstein won the lottery. However, it actually makes me wonder, how would the mechanism for doing this work?

Does this mean the lottery itself can be rigged?
Or does it mean that Epstein bought the winning ticket from a real winner?

If the latter, how would the exact mechanism for doing that work? And why would a winner want to sell the ticket in the first place?

The reason this came to my mind was i was thinking of buying a lottery ticket today for myself and then started wondering if the whole thing is rigged or at least riggable in any way.

I have some credits saved and i can choose to spend it on other aircraft or wait for a black market. Any idea when/if one is coming?

I've been on the waitlist since the card was announced years ago.

I just got off, but now i am doubting if it is still worth it.

Here's my situation:

My main spend categories are travel and dining. Which are already covered by my WF Autograph journey card at 5%-4%-3% unlimited.
For everything else, i use my Capital One Venture X, at 2% cashback on everything essentially.

So, the real value of the robinhood gold card for me is just 1% extra on top of the Capital One card. And this is only on non travel, non dining spend.

If i do my math correctly, just to cover the cost of the Robinhood Gold Card ($60/year), i would need to spend over $6000 on non travel non dining categories. And even then, if i would make a large purchase of let's say electronics, i might still do it with the Venture X for the extended warranty benefit.

This makes the RH card not very attractive to me, unless i am leaving something out of the equation.

Is there any specific benefit of the RH gold that i am not considering? Should i still get the Robinhood card?

Please note that i am not a robinhood user at all.... so i would need to pay gold just for this purpose.

Edit: I just found out the card was nerfed just a few days ago, and only now they sent the approval. I knew they would approve me only after they nerf the card. I guess i was right.

This annoys me so much, getting random notifications from the bank "your password is exposed in the dark web for email xxxxx@xxxx, you should change your password"

Like, what password are we talking about? i have hundreds of accounts with that email all with different passwords. Am i supposed to change my password from over a hundred accounts without knowing which password was exposed and from which website?
Most likely, the "exposed" password is a more than 10 year old password that i havent used in the last decade in the first place.

This information is absolutely useless without saying which password was exposed or at the very minimum which website is the account associated with that password.

Seriously useless notifications causing more trouble than benefit.

Edit: Just to clarify, i don't mean the bank's password itself, they do this service of "dark web monitoring" where they track any mention of your email anywhere in the dark web. Several banks and other providers like google itself do it.
