Luckily/unluckily (because effort), in Australia, consumer guarantees on length of time you can get a refund are vague.
E.g. it doesn’t matter that a fridge’s manufacturer warranty is only 2 years, you expect that to last longer.
With effort, you could probably get a fridge fixed like 5 years after purchase with some badgering / threatening small claims.
Bricking your product would probably fall under that category.
This is wild speculation, not a lawyer.
How long do patents last for anyway? Pokemon being caught in balls must be many, many decades old by this point.
They’ve started serving ads when you skip backwards. Drives me fucking nuts.
I was willing to use the mobile app with ads because the interface is slightly less buggy.
Ad blocking on mobile web it is for me now 👍
So, if you plan an arson as a protest, is that 8 years or 18 years?
Honestly, good on you so much for sharing. The fact you’re not ashamed and willing to share could save someone from the same attack, and as others have pointed out, even the most security minded of us can have lapses in judgement.
I’m really glad you weren’t screwed in the end.
I am always neutral on this sort of thing (i.e. I believe in democracy, and despite what people will have you believe, Taiwan is not a monolith of opinion of the one China / reunification / independence question)
But this is fucking hilarious
💀 where is this?
… Re-read before I sent. I thought this said country, lol.
Yikes, why even have a bus at that point?
While this is completely true, it’s a bit tone-deaf. Fuck cars, but many people barely have a choice because their public transport consists of a handful of busses that come once an hour and nothing is close by.
As an aside, I spend a whopping total of about $1/day (edit Australian $, so less USD) on maintenance and electricity for my electric cargo bike. I go about 17 km each way to work and the funny thing is it’s only about 10 mins longer than driving, lol
Press ‘x’ to doubt
While I get that as a stop gap when your city hasn’t built enough PT, car to the station sounds like a good last mile solution. But my personal preference, and how good public transport is set up, is that in 90% o more of the trips around your city, public transport should never be more than a walk away.
This is not to say that cars should be removed entirely (for disabled people where PT accommodations are difficult, delivery, emergency vehicles etc). Just that you shouldn’t nearly as many cars for the last mile, in a well designed system.
This is how I try to live, mostly. Can’t get there by public transport? Well I’m not going unless I have to then 👍 because cars are expensive and I’ll get a cab or rent one if I have to. But I live in a fairly car-centric city. It’s totally possible to have your entirely city be accessible by foot + PT.
I’m not sure if the driverless car tech would ever be viable, and why not just do driverless BRT conversions, which is possible right now, and not that expensive.
TotalLauncher has been a great replacement for me. Jumped ship a number of months ago
Oh neato, then all good!
It would make sooo much more sense for the ISO to set something up, and make governments each responsible for keeping it updated, since they’re the ones doing the changing.
Require all participants to amend their law/regulations, so there’s a note to prompt whoever is in power and changes it next.
I’m sure some places would still neglect to do it… Haha
Perhaps we’ll move to UTC+10¼, and then move forward 45 minutes in the summer.
If the day number is a prime, then we’ll go back π hours.
Hope that will help!
Apparently vote.gov is a thing.
Yeah, I’d be super sus doing this via a 3rd party.
So why are they asking?
Username checks out
Must be on purpose, because it’s what caught my eye to click on this post lol
It is truly awful
What country are you in? You may be entitled to a refund/replacement since you have the receipts
