In the browser, i didn't login in the google account, and I didn't accept the cookies on that site. Using privacybadger that supposedly should block the 3rd party spyware like that
I don't see the issue here. My text documents are also stored on my computer as a plain text.
Just imagine what would happen if this guy viewed my website- [gif of a guy operating a 3 ton murder machine while playing with apple vision pro]
That guy should go to prison for attempted manslaughter
Ah i get it. But that tax is minimal and applies on specific hs codes. Like "additional 10% on polyester fabric shirts manufactured in that specific country"
I assumed it was applied it anyway together with the vat, it's technically possible during the ioss declaration. Maybe it's difficult to calculate for small stuff as especially clothing do the tour of the world, manufactured in Bangladesh, labeled in turkey, sent back to china for logistics
At least now everything is taxed at ~20% and china post seems stopped abusing the postal service by canceling their package service to Europe (source for that, a month ago I personally tried to send a package to myself from a Chinese post office, they said they don't do that anymore, had to fit the stuff in the luggage) so now Alibaba and similar they ship a big container to Europe with combined orders and then use local shipping
How the us is doing by having the threshold so high is insane, leaving door open to abuse. It might made sense until the 80s when international trade was limited to big imports and there was no e-commerce. In my country every single package would declare a value of 799 and nobody would pay a dime lol
Like the far right in my country before the elections "We have the solution to fix the economy, vote for us" - without of course saying what they're going to do.
Unfortunately, majority of people believed them
Populism works, people like to vote for someone that says what they want to listen even if it's obvious that they're not going to do that
But it's not true. The threshold now is 0€, everything needs to pay vat since one year ago. Over 150€ it just can't do the automatic ioss vat payment
? under 150 euro the VAT is already automatically collected via IOSS, or it would be held at customs even if it's declared as gift with 0€ value.
omg i cannot state how much i hate the widgets bar, it's like they designed it on purpose to show ads&clickbait
Google dialer?
Ad free, not slow, but collecting all possible data on your calls.
I like that it's blocking the spam calls, I get 10 spam calls for each real call. Unfortunately that needs to send back to them all my phone calls with their caller id.
I hate how it shows the call log. It only shows the latest action ever for a number and doesn't even show the time. This is especially infuriating when you need to see what time someone called. For example my doctor office called to move my appointment, then when I showed up they said that wasn't true and wanted to charged me for a no-show. I wasn't able to prove immediately that they called me on which day and at which time to move the appointment because the "simplified" call log only shows the latest call action which was that I called back several days after that.
Sure but we all know that 99% of people don't change defaults.
Also, waiting for those updates that "accidentally" revert to the default
It changed my setting from disabled to enabled after the update
i have the feeling that a feature like this makes a very little money that compared to the millions that google gives to be the default is a drop in the ocean
probably this won't be enough to even pay the CEO salary
(it's a tablet in a smartphone form factor, it doesn't have cellular connectivity)
For reference, android 14 was announced 6 months before the launch of this device.
It's a bit surprising that Google still allows device certification with such ancient, unsupported and vulnerable OS.
All the marketing materials don't say which CPU it's using except "Qualcomm octa core CPU" - that means nothing as the description could apply to the Snapdragon 415, which was a low end slow system on a chip released ten years ago. Maybe it could explain why they're using an ancient version of Android - the soc that they're using it's a leftover found in some warehouse and it's already unsupported by the manufacturer; they're forced to use android 11.
And of course they want a credit card on file for "age verification" 😉 or they won't let you chat with the bots
One of those two sites is distributing adware. Which of them?
File Converter (FOSS) by Adrien Allard was hosted on file-converter[.]org since a decade. Then someone a few weeks ago snatched that domain and it's now distributing adware. Almost identical design for the page, 100% designed to deceive users to download a different product, as it's called Zamzar.
If spammers can abuse something, they gonna abuse it
I swear that with each update they're adding more and more artificial stupidity
If someone knows how to disable this fuckery, please tell me or i have to install adobe acrobat, it makes me crazy as it floats on all the open PDFs, covering text/content
It Is a Google thing. It's a script that Google gives to third party to promote logging in with their account, and it can access Google cookies, so it can get populated with your name and email (which is absurd as some other malicious js on the same page could parse the HTML to extract the personal data of the user without consent)
If you're logged in, there's a setting buried in the Google account (really buried, very difficult to find) which hides this nag.
