I've tried to download with VLC using the DLNA enabled option on Plex. It used to be awful (less than 50% of attempted downloads actually…

xrailgun is not being over dramatic. I’ve been using Plex for about 12 years now. It breaks all the time, especially 5-12 years ago.…

That is BS. I cancelled with about 1.5 months left before the next annual fee and get 1.5 months back pro rata. Granted, this was not too…

schwifty on Join Revolut and Spend Minimum $1 within 14 Days, Get $40 Credit @ Revolut X Cold Ones

Nope. Took a few business days to get the $40 after my first purchase. 5 days in total I think, 2 of which were the weekend.

I'm guessing you're talking about the Virgin Flyer card?? Or perhaps the High Flyer Card?

I'm 99% sure that gift cards bought at Kmart, BigW, etc. will count toward the minimum purchases threshold. I have used Coles Pre-Paid…

OK. I didn't think you had to apply using the link they provided, just activate with what's on their page. Maybe the use of a "special…

Unsure, but if I had to guess, they'd last at least as long as the dissolving ones due to the extra wrapping. Maybe there's a few chemical…
