i guess my dentist only charging $35 for a tooth extraction , with xrays, is a pretty good deal.

Was it really you?

Watch to the end, worth it.

The use of uncredited actors in YT videos involving pet accessories. For example there's one showing someone spending quite some time putting a collar on a cat that's never had a collar before, attaching a Tile tag to it, and moving it around on its neck to get it in the right position. The entire time this phony stunt cat is purring and rubbing its head against him, when everyone knows that if you tried that with a real cat you'd be missing your arm to just below the elbow by about halfway through.

Inspired by this thread, companies that ship and install pre-obsolete electronics like 2G and, more recently, 3G cellular modems with a guaranteed drop-dead date coming up rapidly at which point they all become e-waste.

Eva888: $400 for a 20 minute tooth extraction but actually paying $406.20 because credit card was used.

I'd rather they charged me $410 and no CC fee but didn't tell me it was built in. I hate CC fees.

Yeah I'm the same. Just set the price as though everyone is going to pay by credit card. I actually have to itemise the credit fee each month for my work expenses too 😩

I'm waiting for someone to start doing it for cash.. Oh this reflects the cost of me collecting it and taking it to the bank.

I would love to not have to take it at work, we tried to get the cash only to be taken at one place but didnt get away with that. Its probably 1 cash sale per 10 card sales, and of those card sales about 1/3 are actual credit cards, 1/3 swipe eftpos cards and 1/3 ones that if we had paywave would be contributing to banks excessive profits because of debit card paywave fees.

The fact that after years of complaints about this and promises to fix it, sites like YouTube are still injecting crazy conspiracy theory videos into people's watch-lists. Today's example:

Ukraine news, Ukraine news, Ukraine news, Russia news, nutcase conspiracy theory video. It's no wonder people keep getting drawn into this stuff if companies like Google are feeding it to them all the time.

Handle9: The person did something dumb but then made it immeasurably worse through dishonesty and gross stupidity.

A lot of employers are pretty tolerant of dumbness and take an educational approach, but not so many are tolerant of dishonesty.

It got worse. They'll be finding a new career in a new country.

You’ve exceeded your pooled storage limit and your account has been placed in a 60 day grace period.

Apparently, Google has been sending these out for a while. My 'unlimited' storage is becoming a meagre 5TB =/

I was never one of the people abusing the system with hundreds of terabytes stored, but I certainly can't afford $150+ per month to keep my files safe.

Makes the decision on whether or not to sell my recently retired NAS a lot more difficult.

Idiots like Mark Foster-Murray and Colin Salisbury lost all of their client's money by putting millions into cryptocurrency scams then blamed their company's failure on covid.

When asked by some customers whether they would be refunded the thousands of dollars already prepaid for future holidays, the company told them via email they would not be receiving refunds, invoking the “force majeure” section of their terms and conditions. Most of the customers were from the United States, Britain, Canada, and Australia.

This is not what "force majeure" means. Losing money in scams is stupidity, not "force majeure".

Reading the article this morning, it appears that they attempted to deflect from their failings by posting online that the vocal customers demanding their money back had been a cncerted effort to ruin the business.

It seems that the perpetrator of the alleged fraud is wholly unrepentant.

You're... giving your data to Google? Voluntarily?

No, paying them to take it !

Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21

neb: You're... giving your data to Google? Voluntarily?

Absolutely not. Everything is encrypted client-side, and key data isn't stored on their servers either.

I'm all for exploiting their services when they work in my favour, but I would never hand them the keys.

Isn't using client funds to speculate on crypto fraudulent? SFO looking?
