On mobile, it prompts you to either "get the app" or "open app" with no way to click past. Screenshot won't upload.

This is worse from several months ago https://lemmy.today/post/8935690

Not mine but this is actually what I did too.

I said I plan to charge back on my credit card. They threatened that if I did that, they can't promise my account wouldnt be flagged.

I said "bet" and they removed the cancellation fee and cancelled the service.

This document isn't changing every time I view it, but Google Sheets wants me to reload it each and every time I close my phone. Even if I'm in airplane mode it gives me this prompt, and of course just loads the same document.

What is it even doing when I hit the Reload button??

My HP All-In-One 20-c081nt has the processor Intel Core i3-6100U, which is supposed to not run hotter than 100C. On Windows if 100C is reached, the screen will fade out and PC will immediately shutdown. A warning will be shown at next boot. On Linux, seen in the video, the PC will simply keep running as if nothing has happened and show the thermal shutdown warning after a graceful reboot.

My grocery store wants to know my BMI

If they were interested in my location they could request location data. What are the odds they are doing this to directly market products to people based on health data?

Inb4 “They already do that based on what you regularly purchase”

Of course, yes they do. This appears to be one more layer on top of it. And surely they wouldn’t share that information with the pharmacy, right?

I was actually there because i was considering creating an account and wanted to check it out.

Then they pop one of those and lost me for ever!

And of course they want a credit card on file for "age verification" 😉 or they won't let you chat with the bots

And the label doesn't say anything about it, doesn't have the "don't throw in the trash" logo.

Those LEDs are glued in, there's no way to remove batteries before discarding the item

This battery lasts the life of the router under the operating environmental conditions specified for the router, and is not field-replaceable.

But who determines its lifespan?

Knowing there is a battery set to fail and I can't simply replace it makes me physically uncomfortable. Enough so that I'd rather it not have RTC.

Thanks Cisco.

I don’t know if this fits the community, but the way ads placement works can lead to some unfortunate results

Just looking for some cooking ideas, and I wish I could forget what I saw

This is no shade against uncle dane or jontohil2, this is probably just youtube's fault

here's what shows up if I click on the video

Clicked on a link to read an article, and was met with this pop-up. I decided to click on the privacy policy link to view what I was agreeing to. It cannot be viewed unless you agree to what you haven't read yet.

I don't see anyone falling for this either, if they were going to they would already have edge installed.

Non private mode on left. I am not logged in but have cookies enabled. Right is private mode.

Marketing should always be OPT-IN by default, but these extra steps to opt out is truly asshole design.

Oh, and on the opt-out confirmation screen, you get two options: Yes or No. The button colour for "yes" is white, and the “no” button matches the “save” button on the previous screen, so it's easy to accidentally cancel the opt-out. Double-asshole design!
