linkedin automation - has anyone gotten banned? which tools are safe?

We picked up LinkedIn automation tools for our b2b saas (series a, ~50 employees) and I'm getting super paranoid about the ban hammer. We've been using PhantomBuster + some custom scripts to do 100-150 connection requests daily but my sales team is freaking out after hearing horror stories.

just had our third rep get a 7-day restriction last month. the linkedin bot detection seems way more aggressive lately. anyone else seeing this?

we're looking at ditching linkedin automation completely and just focusing on better data enrichment instead. been evaluating Prospeo for verified emails and direct dials since automation is getting too risky. their mobile number coverage looks solid and we could just do cold calling/email instead of LinkedIn outreach.

also been looking at Lusha but Prospeo's weekly data refresh seems more reliable for our volume. anyone made a similar switch? is cold outreach working better than linkedin automation these days?

need a power dialer - Orum? Nooks? Aircall? which do you like

Our SDR team is drowning in manual dialing and we need to fix this yesterday. Looking at the usual suspects but can't tell the difference between most of them. Orum seems expensive, Nooks looks solid, Aircall might work but seems more call center focused?

We do about 150-200 calls per rep daily, mostly outbound b2b. Need something that integrates with Salesforce and doesn't sound robotic. Parallel dialer functionality would be huge for productivity.

The twist is we're also overhauling our data provider. Testing Prospeo for the contact data because their mobile numbers apparently have much better dial results and they refresh weekly. Thinking we could pair their data with whatever auto dialer we pick. Lusha is the other option but their mobile data seems hit or miss from what I've heard.

Anyone using a sales dialer they actually like? What should I be looking at that I'm missing?

Friends account is getting shadowbnned IMMEDIATELY after posting comment

Hey guys,
So one of my friends tried creating a reddit account, verified with email, changed avatar, upvoted and joined communities and everything was just fine. The moment he tries to comment anything what so ever, he gets shadowbnned

Just wanted to know what is the fix for this, or is there something someone could do incase their account gets shadowbnned?

Is reddit not really beginner friendly anymore?

Hey guys,
So im pretty used to reddit now, i have no issues. I genuinely like reddit because its not trying to farm money like twitter or outdated like quora, and especially for asking questions etc

Recommended reddit to my friend for the same reason. He created his account, verified email, changed the avatar, joined a few subreddits etc

He tried commenting under a post and he was instantly banned?
I asked him to file an appeal in the mean time, but i just wanted to know what would be the logic behind just instantly banning

Searched online and apparently theres a account warmup procedure, use reddit for 15 mins, join subreddits a few days later, then start commenting etc

Is this really a thing now?

https://preview.redd.it/8l7knlnkhp7h1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=672de410dd3d6a570926609ffe5ce1950cedec9b

Hey guys,
Ordered the oppo enco buds 3 pro plus for 2.2k via the store
wanted to know if i can get this for cheaper

On croma it shows for 1750 but it isnt deliverable to my pincode (if u find deliverable pincodes in bangalore do let me know)

Preferebly for the oppo itself as i find their sound tunings better than realme and oneplus

Fix for scratches on silencer (and other general tips)

Hey guys,
A lot of guys have scratches on their exhaust because they dropped the bike, slid or just due to other guys sideswiping them

If you have scratches, and theyre light scratches, you can just continue to directly spray
if your scratches are deep, where surface is uneven, then you will have to use sandpaper to sand it down

Lower grit (less number=more rough)
high grit( hihg number=less rough, smoother)

so what you do is you take lower grit sandpaper, lets say 80 incase of very deep scratches, roughten and even the suface

then 200
400
1000
and at last, use water, wet the exhaust and silencer and use a 2000 grit sandpaper
these values arent fixed, so you dont necessarily have to do it in this order but u get my point
first you level high and low spots, then you smoothen it

When spraying make sure you spray in thin coats. If its dripping that means you overdid it. You can literally just sand it down with a high grit sandpaper and restart

These silencer coats are all in one, so you dont need to put any primer before hand either
just make sure you have everything wrapped up nicely (especially the rotor)
let it dry properly
and once its dried
run the bike and let it idle for atleast 10-15 mins to bake it in properly

Attaching photos of before and after of friends harley x440 that he did at home with zero previous spray paint experience

Pro tip: do NOT spray onto exhaust
first take any piece of metal and spray it on
confirm the color

if there is a significant color mismatch, it would be better to coat the whole silencer for uniformity

If anyone has a rusty exhaust, you can literally do it
Sand off the rust

Also another pro tip: you do NOT want oil on exhaust as paint wont stick well to it. Best thing would be rubbing/isopropyl alcohol (both are same thing). Wipe with that and leave, it evaporates on its own

If anyone doesnt have that, then a great alternative is dish soap. Dish soap is designed to remove burnt oils from kadhais, so all this is cake work for it. I prefer pril liquid detergents (the bars are not that good) as it doesnt leave any waxy coating, and cleans better

I literally use pril to clean vehicle as well, scrub the tyres (yes i scrub tyres sometimes incase theres an oil patch etc, just spray, scrub with the rough side of sponge and wash off thoroughly and it becomes way more grippy than youd expect) and for cleaning vehicle

I now have a wax shapoo so i dont have to seperately wax it. So i just use that to clean and wax it, but every second/third wash i use pril to remove the old wax first, because it kinda becomes white and chalky

Ive also used it to clean my rotors (as if youve done a brake bleed or greased up the calipers, you dont want anything on your rotor) (though alcohol is still better as it naturally leaves no residue, or proper brake cleaners as they use harsher chemicals)

piezoelectric spark is weak

Hey guys
i have a lighter. The thing is the spark is very weak, to the point it doesnt even light up the lighter
neither does it shock me much

is there any way to repair them/fix it?
or is the crystal just worn out and the only solution is replacing it

Query regarding old ac that was unused for years

Hey guys,
We had an old panasonic ac (i think a 1 ton) thats idk like 10 years old now
Thing is after we moved apartments, we didnt get it installed and its been like that ever since

I dont think they had sealed the odu/idu with nitrogen, with oil or anything like that

so in essence most probably there could be corrosion etc inside the compressor etc

My question now is, would it still be good to run? if lets say the installation guys do a proper vaccum test, fill it with refrigerant and lubricant

or should we just throw it away as chance of it running are slim and the repair costs etc would probably exceed what its worth

uses R22 refrigerant, its made in malaysia and has EER of 3.17, power input of 1kw and cooling capacity of 3.5kw
