This is me. I’ve always been too lazy to switch (I have some of the worst hardware for it. I’m running my old surface pro into the ground and have hardly any internal storage so hard to dual boot for testing).
But now, well hey, Windows 11 is stupid, windows 10 has been spying since forever.
Linux it is, thanks Microsoft for giving me the push I needed.
You know, later in the year. When I have to.
I’m only human
How did the sub total become $53.96?
Breadsticks and cinnamon sticks we $27.96??
Otherwise, did they do hidden fees in the subtotal, on top of the already hidden fees?
Y’all need some better laws in the states.
There is (off the top of my head) only three types of extra charges in Australia for consumers:
- transaction fees (provided the lowest you can possibly pay, even with transaction fees, is advertised. i.e. if you accept card only the minimum fee is included in your advertised price)
- delivery fees (but strictly speaking you ought to advertise “+delivery fees” in your listed price, and only if it’s variable. And finally,
- surcharges based on time. But again, you need to advertise this prominently ahead of payment.
If I were really splitting hairs some restaurants and cafes that do weekend surcharges reeeeally ought to put it on the front cover of their menus, not just at the till.
Anyway, what you have in comparison is maddening.
Taxes? Yeah, that should be in the prices. “Fees”?? Yeah, that’s part of the price, bud.
Absolute yikes.
This what we would call false advertising in my country.
You can’t write: “NO ADS!*”
“*actually, maybe some ads, as a treat”
That’s just completely negating the headline claim
It 100% will cause your apple account to get banned.
There was a fraudulent charge on my card once to iTunes, so I got it reversed by the bank, because it was fraud.
This banned my account and I had to go to apple support when months later I discovered my account was banned. They give you one chance.
So yeah, you gotta ask them first if you don’t wanna get banned. But you should basically say, cancel my subscription, please and thank you, I’m not required to use your device to do so if you let me sign up without a device.
I suspect in multiple countries they would have to comply under consumer law, and I know for a fact they would be obligated to on Australia.
This has happened dozens of times, each time it was an “error”. Press X to doubt.
Gotta love the Murdoch media…
If he did it once, sure could be argued to be accidental, but he did it pretty forcefully, multiple times, and he baaaaarely has plausible deniability that he didn’t mean this as a wink wink to the neo-nazis.
I had a though recently. It would be neato to have some open source, crowdsourced world database of item locations, where you add this sort of information.
Tagged search of a store, where certain items are. What’s stores in a city sell X item. That sort of thing.
Call it “WorldDB”, bake it into OpenStreetMap.
No idea what the legality would be, but I would LOVE it.
May write a post about it at some point, as I am no programmer.
3000€ seems like barely a drop in the bucket of campaigning costs, totally worth it lol. To the point that’s not even a disincentive.
Got about half way through this, yikes. I thought their pricing was already a bit steep per search, but considering the company decisions, it does not fill you with confidence.
Apparently vote.gov is a thing.
Yeah, I’d be super sus doing this via a 3rd party.
So why are they asking?
Is this a joke? (I know it isn’t).
Why would I want to know the dimensions of the unfinished product? I’m not a construction worker, so honestly is there any reason?
I’m an engineer (a non-IT engineer) and have 4. There is so much ensuring consistency between drawings and documents. I’d like 5 (including the inbuilt one) but graphics card on my high performance company laptop says no.
At least one for file explorer, then other three could be pdf editor, or word, or excel, or internet browser.
I regularly have 4 drawings open, plus another reference, plus windows explorer for file management.
It’s never enough. I could totally do with more than 4 screens, I’m already squeezing multiple drawings onto one monitor.
You shouldn’t lick the bottom of boots, ain’t healthy.
Full thunderbird for android when? 💔
This looks great! I wish we had this in Australia.
I think this is so they can have it auto toggled on per some EU regulations, forcing you to go through and untoggle every single one with “legitimate interest”.
It’s what I assume, anyway
🇦🇺 heh, amateurs… But seriously this is ridiculous, and straight up anti-democtatic. Single member first past the post is the worst voting system out there.
Inb4 they make mulit-member electorates winner-take-all (all seats to the party who got the plurality of votes).
This is THE fight USA. In my opinion, your ridiculous voting systems is probably why it’s so easy to suppress you.
