To be clear, it’s not that I’m saying sfc /scannow and chkdsk are altogether worthless, it’s just that they’re reflexively repeated as a solution to seemingly every issue posted on those forums. It’s more so the advice is frequently useless for the given issue, rather than the specific commands themselves.
Applies to macOS as well. These official support forums are such garbage.
Windows: did you run sfc /scannow and chkdsk? (This has never solved a single thing in my entire building PCs life, so since about 1999.)
macOS: did you reset SMC and PRAM? (This is basically a fancy restart and with Apple Silicon devices, it is literally just a restart.)
Ah, yeah that makes sense now.
How does that help Amazon if on the price tracker it appears $20, but with the coupon it’s actually $10?
If I’m using a price tracker and see it for $20 pre-coupon but another site has it for $15, wouldn’t that just drive my business to the other site?
It seems like with using coupons it’s just artificially inflating the price on whatever trackers, and that seems like it would be bad for sales to me.
For Amazon, I use camelcamelcamel to see price history. Personally I’ve not seen price increases just for holiday sales but I also don’t buy a lot of stuff on these sorts of days, I just set a price alert and wait for the email.
It is in the US.
The FTC’s Guides Against Deceptive Pricing generally require that a seller offer an item at a price for a reasonable, substantial period of time in good faith, and in the regular course of business, before advertising that price as the former or regular price (16 C.F.R. § 233.1). The FTC considers it deceptive to offer an item for sale at a higher price for a short period of time in order to support a claim that an item is discounted when the price is then lowered. This practice is prohibited.
Additionally, most states have consumer protection statutes that prohibit sellers from making false or misleading statements of fact concerning the reasons for, existence of, or amount of a price reduction (for example, Cal. Civ. Code § 1770(a)(13)). Several states also expressly regulate the length of time an item must be offered at a regular price and amount of time it is on sale (for more information, see Practice Notes, Promotional Pricing: Specific State Laws and “Up To” Discounting Law and Practice: Promotional Pricing: State-by-State Requirements).

It’s only the shitpost community, I always feel like a nerd correcting stuff if it’s here but I can’t help myself.
Yeah, that’s right. Edited.
Deny, Delay, Defend is the title of a book about insurance company tactics written in 2010.
Deny, Defend, Depose is what the shooter had written on the shell casings.
Deny delay defend is what insurance companies say, deny defend depose is what the killer wrote on the bullets. Depose doesn’t make sense if you’re the insurance, they defend as in lawyers.
They’ll do something about it alright, like pushing for further militarization of the police, increased government latitude to spy on civilians, and restrictions of what kinds of weapons we’re permitted to own.
You know how the Army has soldiers, the Navy has sailors, and the Air Force has airmen? The Space Force has “guardians”.
This isn’t a CAPTCHA, It’s identify verification. Similar to those ID verifications when they ask you where you had a previous address, who you opened a loan with, how much the loan was for, etc.
CAPTCHA is intended to ensure that a human is logging in, not a bot. Identity verification is to make sure that the person creating the account is actually that person. Completely different use cases.
There are more than four signs, it could be N/A if you were in the other eight.
How does one hang a motorcycle on the wall?
Holy shit, thanks for the recommendation. I’m laughing my ass off right now.
Shouldn’t it be “everybody: <blank>” then?
Nobody: <blank> means that everyone has some feelings about it.
If it’s Nobody and the second line applying to the same thing then the nobody part is false, because the second bit implies that at least one person feels that way.
I just don’t get it, logically.
I really hate that “no one:” shit, it often doesn’t make any sense to me.
Login.gov requires KYC like authentication, as in upload a drivers license or do a video call and show your passport. It’s the official federal government login thing, I’m familiar with it from VA / GI bill stuff.
