Not exactly as funny meme as I would like it to be, but I just found out about that feature after having to hold the power button due to a frozen system countless times, and I had to tell someone.
I could see this happening in more progressive states like California, Oregon, or Washington state.
California already has a bunch of consumer protection laws:
Store gift cards can never expire and must be redeemable for cash if they have a balance of less than $10.
A warranty can’t require you to register the product to be eligible for warranty coverage.
The CCPA, which is like a mini version of the GDPR. Companies must provide all data they’ve collected about you upon request, must delete all the data upon request, and must let you opt out from them selling your data (they literally have to have a link labeled “do not sell my personal information” on their site)
Anti price gouging laws.
As of July 1, drip pricing (hidden fees on top of advertised prices, such as service charges) will be illegal.
And probably a bunch of other ones I can’t think of off the top of my head :)
Nowadays a lot of people go straight to where they wanted to find info - Wikipedia, StackOverflow, IMDB, etc. - and search from there.
Didn’t people always do this, though? If I want to find something on Wikipedia, why wouldn’t I search on Wikipedia for it? I have Firefox configured so that it searches Wikipedia when I type “wiki” then a space then the search query.
Not exactly the kind of respect it would like to get (lemmy.cafe)
