That may be true but doesn't help if not accepting the terms prevents you from using the device.
On a practical level you then at best have a battle to get a third party (the retailer) to give you a refund and most people faced with the option of removing and returning a huge expensive device like a fridge with no guarantee of a refund are going to just leave it.
It does need some stubborn and tenacious people to make a stand and set a president - perhaps backed by a consumer rights group but it's an uphill battle.
> May 12, we began a software deployment that introduced a bug that could be triggered by a specific customer configuration under specific circumstances.
I'd love to know more about what those specific circumstances were!
Ah this is a positive thread so not [flagged] - gotta say Hacker News really has been shameful of late with it's shutting down of the negative stories around Grok.
yeah, there are major AI offerings from multiple vendors, but only one offering has the top boss trying to remove the AI's "wokeness" (with the obvious and hilarious results). why take the obvious extra (and entirely unnecessary) risk?
I did my first toilet browsing on a Sony Ericsson K750i on Edge network. For forums it worked really well. I suspect this site would have worked well on it.
There's definitely _something_ there, but, as with all philosophies, the internet has taken it and run with it to a fairly absurd degree, to the point where, for many adherents, it's basically a religion.
It's not. Feeding kids, researching vaccines and a bunch of other things that billionaires are funding should not depend on the graces and whims of billionaires, it should be something provided for by the government.
HN crowd is ... mixed, it's perhaps the one last true melting pot we have on the Internet. A curse and a blessing, if you ask me.
You got truly anything here. Europeans that in general tend to lean more towards "democratic socialism" and its various offshoots, American libertarians (which have a large intersection with Musk fanboys), a bunch of extremely rich startup founders, American progressives, conservatives of all kinds, Zionists and Hamas apologists, probably Russian and Chinese psy-ops, accelerationists, preppers... name any ideology and you'll find supporters on HN.
What has changed a bit is that tribalism seems to have taken over from civilized or at least arguments and fact oriented discourse. Personally, I'd prefer if downvotes and especially flags would require one to give a reason so that repeat offenders that just flag and downvote everything they disagree with can get suspended for ruining discussion.
Interesting how you put "hamas apologists" and not pro-palestinians next to Zionists. How would you have felt if it was written "pro-palestinains and genocide-apologists"?
Do you know what a "bubble" is? In fact, do you actually know any pro-palestinain people or do you get media that tells you about them? These are not the same thing. Very neat that you included "from the river to the sea" as right alongside rape. Very telling.
PS you can find street interviews of random isreali's where they will straight up tell you they wish all palestinians were killed with very little prompting. But I guess they just don't count huh?
There is a new function available in their app which does similar (i.e allow for proof of posting from a postbox). They've also been pushing collection by postman too.
It saves a trip to the post office which is a hassle which would be a cost for the Royal Mail (which was privatised as a separate company to the Post Office).
Some fair points, but some 'crap data' has storage requirements orders of magnitudes from each others.
One short video can equal a year worth of emails for someone. Similarly those many webpages that don't get viewed often probably require only a negligible amount of resources to keep online and might help someone who'd otherwise be faced with linkrot.
> If you use the uBlock Origin extension in Google Chrome or Edge, you should probably start looking for alternative browsers or extensions—either way.
I've used Firefox on android for a while as android chrome hasn't had adblocking for a long time.
Am pretty anti-google these days but it'll take some time to untangle myself from the ecosystem.
Anyway, I've largely moved back to Firefox on the desktop too, swapped a few icons about so my muscle memory now opens Firefox instead of Chrome and it's been totally painless. An easy win.
Good call, I've been meaning to try it for a while.
It feels a bit like ~25 years ago when Yahoo was this bloated do everything company with a bad search engine and someone showed me this simple website with just a search bar that was super quick with clean results...
It looks a fantastic building, I managed sneak in for a look around a couple of years back when visiting Skopje, it was full of pidgeons and all that comes with it but didn't seem beyond saving.
