Needs third option: hopefully before the warranty expires ( lemmy.world )

Those two vertical lines on the right side aren't part of the meme. They're faults on my TV that I keep forgetting about the moment I stop consciously noticing them. And on the rare occasion that I'm moved to try and do something about it, I'm stopped from getting it fixed by 3 things

1: I would need to fill out a shitload of paperwork for the warranty to cover the repair

2: I would need to have the faintest idea what date each fault started (there was several months between, but I don't know anything more specific than that..)

3: I'd have to bring it in for repair myself, I don't have a car and I don't know anyone with a big enough car that I feel comfortable asking

4: thought of another hurdle as I was typing it all out but forgot again before I got to the end to add it.

Maybe I should call the store I bought it at and explain the situation, see if there's anything they can do to help. Which of course is super for my social anxiety comorbidity 🤦😮‍💨

Why in gods name are you photographing a screen in 2024? We left that shit behind at least 2 decades ago...

Viking_Hippie OP ,

YouTube app on Android TV. It was less of a hassle than finding out how to take and share screenshots in SmartTube 🤷

could've just opened the video on your phone or something

Viking_Hippie OP ,

Which I was about to, but then I realized that the very faults on the TV was an example of what the meme is about..

Response time: 6 hours. Hmmmm...

Viking_Hippie OP ,

I posted this right before going to bed but nice catch 😄

I mean it's still one of the most convenient ways of doing it and cameras are good enough these days that it doesn't matter much if you don't send the original file

"Never" should be a third section

The description of your TV's problem and the chain of events you'd need to take to have it fixed made me stressed and uncomfortable. Thank you
