I only keep Snapchat because I already ditched Facebook and my close friends/family aren’t yet ready for me to cut off another avenue for them to share stuff with me around the clock. However, it’s steps like this that encourage me more and more to do just that. After the 186th bad-decision straw Facebook placed on…

Yes, they do and it’s just as unacceptable. Any time I stay somewhere with an unwaivable ‘resort fee’ or equivalent, I let it be known in feedback avenues that they intentionally advertise false room rates and don’t tell you how much you’ll actually be charged until the end of the process. Fighting against comparison…

I was specifically referring to the astronomical ones that are clearly significantly higher than necessary. Secondly, as another commenter on this thread has pointed out, if it’s part of the business, it should be included in the advertised rate. Breaking a huge chunk of the cost of the stay into a separate fee is…

And this is if you get past the mile long chore list and cleaning fee that costs more than the rental itself.

My simple, non-parent mind would’ve chalked the decline up to friends always being reachable. With separate calling devices (no more line taken up by internet), video chats, games with online multiplayer, etc. friends are reachable in numerous ways all the time. I probably wouldn’t have pushed for late night hangouts…

Tolls simply don’t exist in my state so I always end up thinking “oh yeah, I forgot those are a thing” whenever the rare occasion of driving in another state comes up.

Where does the extra content for the side screens come from? I don’t understand how this works in terms of showing everything intended on the main screen while having additional footage for the sides, unless the films were created for that purpose.

If you want more security for 2FA than cloud-backup-abled apps, you should get something such as a YubiKey. Not only is it more secure than just using an app since you need the physical key, it also stores all the codes on the key itself so you can easily switch devices without worry of needing to sync online or…

Resetting my Vizio TV and never adding a network connection was the best thing I’ve done for it. That alone stopped their full screen messaging from popping up when turning the TV on, let alone the constant pushing me to their content hub I never used. A soundbar with built-in Roku (on a Pi-holed network) is a much…

I hope this improves things such as Switch gameplay footage. It’s difficult to judge just how a Switch game looks on YouTube because the 1080p bitrate is horrid and since the Switch doesn’t play in 4K, the videos aren’t uploaded in 4K. Here’s to hoping “1080p Premium” results in a more accurate representation of 1080p…

I had that happen with recruiters during a job hunt. They knew I was looking for fully remote work and would act like the idea of it being a possibility was all up in the air. As soon as I’d show up for the interview it was dead obvious it wasn’t even considered post-pandemic. That’s when I switched my focus to…

A big part of why I left my previous position was due to being required to be in an office when I only ever saw people face to face while I was off the clock. While in office, everything was done via email and phone even from superiors 2 doors down from me making it entirely pointless for me to be there instead of at…

Bungie is owned by Sony which invalidates both of your points.

That’s largely precisely to what I’m referring:

Sony’s just pissed there’s competition in the “pay for exclusivity” market. They hoard content for themselves and then complain when others try to do the same. “What’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine!”

I only tip for services where it’s been customary to for a long period of time and have no problem hitting No Tip at all other times. My biggest gripe is when the POS not only asks for a tip, but starts their quick options at some outrageous percentage. Where I get my haircut starts their suggestions at 30% and it…

That’s why we need more Anti-SLAPP laws on the books. It discourages abusing the legal system to intimidate and censor by forcing the plaintiff to cover the defendant’s legal costs if they lose.

Same goes for TV streaming services such as Fubo and a big sporting event. They even have “I just wanted to watch one event” as a reason for cancellation. I wonder if enough people choose that, they’ll stop the free trials.

If you end up going through with the cancellation (and they let you back on), you may still get a deal by being a ‘new’ customer. Just use a different payment method if needed to get the free trial time. If the service doesn’t let you back on after cancelling, I’d personally take that as a sign of them not wanting me…

Regardless of price, I don’t have much interest compared to the alternatives due to the more restricted ecosystem. I have a PSVR for my PS4 and while I enjoy it, there are countless things people are able to utilize the PC or standalone units for that are either not an option or very difficult to get working on a PSVR…
