I believe
From what that article says, this fee is only charged to a PayPal balance. I have no clue who’s keeping a balance in a PayPal account, but it’s not like they’re going to charge someone’s payment methods.
Not defending them, I just find it surprising that they have any customers this could even apply to.
Not sure why people are beating up on @[email protected] for saying his opinion. Different people value different things.
I think I can answer your question though. Buying a console is a plug and play experience. Building a PC is not. Not everyone has the time, the patience, or the technical experience required to purchase compatible components, assemble the machine, and install the various software.
Anyone that’s ever bought a prepared meal has overpaid in comparison to acquiring the ingredients, prepping them, and cooking the dish. It’s worth the price to do so because I sure as hell don’t want to spend time making a bowl of French onion soup.
It’s not a surprise to anyone in fuckcars, but to wider audiences it could just be a matter of them never considering it. Our parents had cars, now we have cars, cars are used to go places, even if I get stuck in traffic it’s worthwhile to get to my destination - end of thought.
Sure there’s a huge group of ‘carbrains’ but in my experience, most people don’t have an allegiance one way or the other.
Am I the only one annoyed at the graph being backwards? The past goes on the left, the present on the right.
You just know someone in the chain wanted to be able to say, ‘we were the first’, then they got fact checked and had to add in that qualifier of commercially available ground station.
Surely any rational individual already acknowledges that subject as lunacy. The segment of people that after seeing the joke would fall victim to the conspiracy is bound to be smaller than the segment that find it mildly amusing.
Damn, no one got the joke about the two top commenters in the thread becoming the same entity?
Oh well, it was pretty low effort.
Pretty big thought you’ve got there.
Have you considered joining forces with another influential thought leader such as @[email protected]? Together you could better serve the commenting community across the platform.
Is it just me or does that bike have a kink in its neck?
Way to move the goal post on your argument.
Strikes me as fishy that the finance ministry went to court with Apple to say ‘no don’t pay tax’.
If they don’t want the tax, have the cheque made out to the EU.
“Ireland does not give preferential tax treatment to any companies or taxpayers,” stated a spokesperson from the Irish Ministry of Finances.
I wish the media would eviscerate these people like they used to.
Not exactly related to this article but, I looked this judge up on Ballotpedia, and found this funny little tidbit.
Judge Merchan handed the Trump Organization a $1.6M fine in that tax case a couple years ago. The District Attorney for Manhattan, Alvin Bragg, said:
“While corporations can’t serve jail time, this consequential conviction and sentencing serves as a reminder to corporations and executives that you cannot defraud tax authorities and get away with it.”
What a head of cabbage. As if a couple million dollars is anything to these corporations. These fines need to be double digit percentages of revenue before they get viewed as anything other than a line item on the expense report.
30 miles range, functional design while not looking foolish, from a reputable company, all for less than $3,000? Not bad.
More than the average person drives each day, and costs less than the average person spends in a single year on a car. I could see cargo bikes like this replacing vehicles for many people.
As someone that tries to condense posts and comments, I have ‘Show action bar by default for comments’ disabled. Now, as score location has been altered, I’m not able to see comment score. More problematic is there’s no longer an indication of whether I have already voted on a comment or not.
In order to get this information now, I either must enable the action bar for every comment which fills a lot of the screen with buttons that I don’t need, or press and hold the comment to expand the action bar manually. This is a reduction in displayed information that doesn’t seem proportional to the benefit of a ‘cleaner’ style.
At the very least, I’d think the score should be put back next to the commenter’s name when the action bar is disabled.
These things happen to everyone from time to time.
I myself misworded some comments just the other day in frustration and inadvertently caused an upset. No worries at all. It’s big of you to come in here and correct yourself. It speaks volumes to the type of person you are.
Cheers.
What an invaluable sacrifice. She no doubt saved the lives of multiple children, and her actions will radiate throughout their lifetimes.
Not sure why articles like these don’t link the donation pages, but it’s currently about £40k raised of the £50k goal.
I’ve been using Organic Maps (from F-Droid) and it has a “Keep the screen on” option in the settings. That said, I’ve never had the screen dim while navigating to a destination. The setting I mentioned prevents timeout when you’ve got the map open but not on route somewhere.
Might just be me, but I don’t like double tap to skip. Findroid has another scrubbing method I’ve not seen anywhere else but I wish it were the standard.
When you drag your finger to the right, it says how far you’re about to skip ahead. The longer your swipe, the further you go. When you release, it scrubs to that timestamp. Same with going backwards.
I find it faster, more accurate, and more versatile. The only thing I don’t like about the Findroid player is the UI timeout is twice as long as I need it to be.
