Did a stint in tech support, and had a fucking lawyer call me because his brand new laptop wouldn’t turn on. The charging cable was sealed in the original plastic bag.
It seems some people are just completely unable to form reasonable thought-chains when it comes to technology.

Lol

About the example by OTP of his issue that they remove the scales next to the coffee, in relation to being the store manager, considering how little commercial scales cost, while also acknowledging that different stores (franchised or not, size of company vs size of the store) can impact the managers ability to provide such improvements to their customers.

It depends on the size of the company in relation to the store. And yep, franchised means the owner has got to pay for improvements outside of the franchise contract. But still, our scales are accurate to 0.05g, which is overkill for food, and “only” around 7-10k per, if you only have to be accurate to 1g, they shouldn’t be more than 1-2k.

That’s what managers are for tho. Yeah, don’t bitch to the cashier, they have no say, managers tho? (Competent) managers can influence corporate to a degree, especially with tiny things like a scale.

Nazi ideology is never an opinion. It’s a threat to human rights and democracy.

What. You do realize that China has made multiple extortionist contacts with African nations in exchange for infrastructure, while they get mining rights and no supervision to continue their slavery? Depending on the source they have like twice as much mining capacity compared to all Western nations combined.

I switched my petrol insert out for a single burner gas one, but there are a lot of inserts, even from zippo itself.

My ex-wife got me an engraved Zippo I used to carry everywhere, now it’s mostly on my desk because I don’t want to lose it at work :/

24 SEALs in the compound, I misremembered though, he’s the only one claiming it for himself, other teammates said it was an unnamed point man.

Proprietary spare parts. The motors might be off the shelf so you could grab parts from a different manufacturer. But controllers and batteries are usually proprietary making repairs much more complicated and cost-inefficient

Claims to have killed Bin Laden, like so many other people. other teammates said it was someone unnamed, and that Bin Laden was already shot when O’Neill entered the room.

Edit: I misremembered.

See https://lemmy.world/comment/13252949 I haven’t tested it myself though

Nope. They initially added some data scraping parts, and apparently still use some form of telemetry without proper disclosure.

I have a Samsung ultra lux 128 for at least 6 years now, and it’s been holding up perfectly. Only the metal sheet above the port got bent a bit. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/cf1b2638-a88c-4e46-b67f-49bdc29f09e5.jpeg
so I had to bend it back with a screwdriver, however it actually does lay flat

Discord doesn’t delete chat logs AFAIK, however one of the permissions prevents you from reading things from before you joined a server/channel
