LPT: Never Shop at Whole Foods? Turn Off “Use My Mobile Number” to Prevent Others from Using Your Account

Just caught somebody using my Prime subscription at a Whole Foods a few towns over, and this seems like it could be a common thing. Was on with support after finally getting to speak to real person who wanted me to fill out a Suspicious Activity form but couldn't offer any more help.

They used their own card for payment so there was really no harm done, but after looking at it more logically, I then realized it was just probably someone using my phone number at check-out. You can turn this setting off by going into the Amazon app and hitting Account > Program Options > Whole Foods Market Settings > Phone Number Verification and un-check Use My Mobile Number.

Don't know why this isn't off by default. Hope this saves people some peace of mind.

Edit: For those that don't understand why this is an issue ... their purchases showed up under my amazon orders, so my immediate thought was that my account was hacked.

Edit 2: A few people have reported in the comments that they were able to check out with their main Amazon payment method at Whole Foods using their linked phone number. This seems to be the main part of the scam. Once they find a cashier that will let them use the card on file, they will buy half the store. Don't let them take your money.

🪦Circus Circus Adventuredome Cabinet Graveyard🪦

I was in Vegas a few days back and decided to check out "The Adventuredome" at Circus Circus to see if they still had any older cabinets lurking. To my surprise there were more than a handful including two F-Zero AX cabinets, but sadly, not a single fighting game on the floor. I went down a bit deeper and eventually saw some familiar friends behind a blue gate. Shame they wont fix these up and put them out on the floor as I remember this place having everything back in the early 2000s.

Anyway to hook up a Haute42 to a Blue Retro ?

I know the Haute42 has a few official and unofficial Ps4/Ps5 wireless dongles out there but I'm wondering if any of them are known to work with Blue Retro?

Unable to get back into Android Settings (Service Stopped App Crash) on X-men vs Street Fighter

I had finally done enough research where I was confident that I could get the Marvel vs Capcom 1 apk working on my stock X-men vs Street Fighter cab. The main reason I wanted this on here was for Marvel vs SF which is missing from this cab. Everything worked up until I was unable to get the game apk to start ... it kept saying that I needed to re-clone the apk from the app cloner app each time when I had tried to launch them through Nova Launcher.

"No problem" I said, "I'll just revert back from the settings menu and try again" ... so I did. Tried different apk, same problem. Tried it with the wifi off as it was mentioned that could be it ... same message. I ended up reverting from android settings one final time and after that I was unable to get back in. I think the only way to fix this seems to be to wipe the cache of the settings app itself but there is no way to do this from the stock UI.

At this point, I think the only option is to try to flash Team Encoders fix since its the only way to get adb re-enabled and trudge on but that also seems like it could be another can of worms. Anybody encounter this before ?

Glowing Control Deck on Marvel vs Capcom 2 Cab ?

Just ended up snagging a used Marvel vs Capcom 2 cab near me and the deck protector is cracked. Is there a way to get a deck protector w/ light on that cab? My MvsC1 cab has one and I've seen a picture floating around of this one modded somehow and I think the same glowing deck protector with light (and live button) is used in a big blue variant. Anyone know ?

Edit: I found the picture I was talking about https://i.ibb.co/fVxxy4PR/image.png
