lenathaw,

Reminds me of a story a friend told me when I was living in South America.

My friend was walking home late at night and a guy from another country (forgot which, but it was obvious from his accent) asked him for money. This exchange of course happened in Spanish:

“I have an iron” “what does iron means in your country?” “by iron I mean knife” and pulls out a knife “oh, because here iron means this” and pulls out a gun.

Then the robber just ran away.

HP says I should have known its £399 laptop bargain was too good to be true (www.theguardian.com)

[…] Parcelforce texted the delivery slot. No delivery. Parcelforce and HP’s tracking systems then claimed I had refused the parcel. I scheduled a redelivery for the next day. Parcelforce then rang me and the agent acknowledged a delivery had not been attempted and that the tracking information was false. It claimed HP had...

lenathaw,

I bought a laptop that came with a broken charger, I could easily test it myself as a friend also had an HP laptop with the same brick (this was before the days of USB C).

I tried to make a warranty claim and they wanted me to send the laptop too and wipe the HDD, the RMA process would take weeks on top of that.

I ended up buying a 3rd party charger, I’m sure their RMA process is overly long and convoluted to deter people from making warranty claims

lenathaw,

NZ is usually used as a Guinea pig by tech companies, small population, English speaking, etc.

However I think it might be that the Alll Blacks might face off the Springboks in the Rugby World Cup Final and Elon wants to minimise the shitposting on Twitter. /s

lenathaw,

During my last trip to Germany I made the mistake of traveling by train. My scheduled train got canceled and the next one would come in 1 hour.

I decided to wait and when the time came, no train showed up, the display said the train would arrive on platform 5, the announcement said it was platform 5, their app said platform 5 but nothing showed up.

About 10 minutes after the scheduled time I went to the ticket office to ask what happened, their answer was a “maybe it went through another platform”.

lenathaw,

After the revival they just re-released the Batman games, announced a sequel to The Wolf Among Us and then nothing for 4 years? It is sad to see Telltale gone, but at the same time I am not surprised.

lenathaw,

I had to replace the USB C port on my Fairphone 3, took about €30 and 10 minutes.

In any other phone it would’ve meant getting a complete new device

lenathaw,

No headphones, anywhere at anytime. You were not allowed to bring them to school even if you didn’t use them during school hours, so forget about listening to music on your way back home.

It was so silly that they even removed all the headphones from the computer lab and at the library.

lenathaw,

A friend works for a large-ish company that makes a product on Unity (not a game tho) and he just told me they were moving to Godot ASAP

lenathaw,

My previous job referred to ex employees as traitors or betrayers

lenathaw,

I’m saving this phrase.

I had a PM postpone a critical part of a project since June, the hard deadline is on September 15th… I’ve insisted to start with it months ago and now he’s scrambling everyone to get this done yesterday.

We’re not gonna make it and I don’t care anymore.

I've been blocking ads for so long that actually seeing them feels perverse

I use ad blockers and open source privacy focused software whenever I can but occasionally I have to use computers that don’t belong to me or an older phone where my usual applications aren’t installed and seeing all the advertisements just feels dirty and dystopian....

My sister shared me an Instagram reel for a [brand] bag review and asked me to buy it for her (there’s no [brand store] in her city).

It was such an obvious advertising campaign by the brand, when I walked into the store the same reel she shared me was playing in the store screens

lenathaw,

no worries mate, idk why my comment was missing some words, spaces and letters

lenathaw, (edited )

if your phone dies you can easily love the sim card to the new one and move on with life.

edit: I’m keeping the typo

As far as public support goes, why aren't disabilities and chronic illnesses treated in a similar manner to LGBT issues?

I’m just curious about this. As someone with a chronic illness, I pretty much never hear anyone talk about things related to the sorts of difficulties and discrimination I and others might face within society. I’m not aware of companies or governments doing anything special to bring awareness on the same scale of say, pride...

lenathaw,

Wholeheartedly agree. My previous employer was very big into pride and DEI since at least 10 years ago, when it wasn’t as normaliaed as it is today.

However, the office wasn’t wheelchair accessible and I complained about it, took me more than 4 years to get them to do something about it because I’m not a wheelchair user, so my requests got denied every time, absolutely zero empathy despite what they used to promote.

As you said, Pride is free marketing, building a ramp costs money

lenathaw,

I’ve died twice driving a truck, would not recommend

lenathaw,

because of car centric infrastructure in the US they need to drive to school /s

lenathaw,

You don’t smoke the filter bit

lenathaw,

The phrases will appear by the filter, including warnings about harming children, damaging organs and causing impotence and leukaemia.

Right there in the article. Putting a piece or printed paper in your mouth does not damage your organs, cause impotence nor leukemia.

lenathaw,

almost everyone I know that uses reddit just switched to the official app if they weren’t using it already. Whether we want it or not a lot of normies started using reddit in the past few years and they just don’t care.

lenathaw,

Mine truncated the first 8 characters, when I discovered that I sent them a request to their cyber security department and they told me.of was by design.

I closed my account over that bs

lenathaw,

Not sure how to feel about this, on one hand there are ton of people without a job and customers who lost their bikes during repair.

On the other hand, VanMoof was like the BMW of the bicycle world, offer risen by inconsiderate arseholes.

lenathaw,

Some are legit, some are scams.

As a rule of thumb, of it is featured in isthereanydeal.com , then they’re safe
