The power supply for my Dell laptop appears to be on its way out so started browsing TM for a replacement.  Here's a screensnip of one that I came across:

 

 

Can't see the title or qualifying statement (*), but an aftermarket power supply isn't counterfeit unless it claims to be the original.

 

The strike out is probably due to the use of markdown, asciidoc or similar. Attention to detail is lacking, which I would take as a reason not to buy from that particular seller, unless they were the cheapest :)

Counterfeit meaning its branded and sold as a dell, while not being made by them. This is I assume a compatible one that costs less than the fakes being sold as real ones.

 

I have found PB to be reasonably priced for laptop adapters when I have wanted multiples.

Every time I walk past this thing my brain registers it as "[Foxtrot] 1080"!

Their intentions are noble but what's the point of saving your credit card details if you have to enter them all again to verify it?

Wait. Are they displaying the full card number from a previous visit? I'm pretty sure that's a PCI fail.

Probably need to reprocess with the CVV as something has changed with their processor etc.

For me, Today's WTF is the inability of some parties to form a government.

 

(This is not an invitation to discuss politics in this thread. It's a WTF. Discussion already in the Politics sub-forum).

Can't we just have a caretaker government for 3 years? It seems to be working fine.

How IMPOSSIBLE it is to get a refund from Spark for a Deceased Account!

 

Unbelievable that the Online Form has a check box that is compulsory to tick stating that "YOU are the Account Holder"!!!!!!!!

 

NO! He is Deceased!

 

 

Then try phone, where the CSR wanted my and the Wife's full names and DOB! WTH has that got to do with anything!

 

Most people probably give up! Select that you are a non Spark customer and the IVR refers you to Their App, WhatsApp, etc but NO Email option! 

 

W T F !!!!!
