Have you even looked at the computer electronics business? Or lived a few decades? Otherwise how can you have no experience of a company deciding your use of a product doesn’t meet THEIR expectations and so they invalidate your warranty claim? Heck, look at what Intel is doing right now with its 13 and 14 series chips.

Legality is nothing without enforcement, and there’s like none of that for warranties in the US, and even less for global companies with overseas HQs.

Yeah, I’m not defending any cheese choice; everyone can do themselves. I was just remarking that food appearance heavily influences sales, and everyone is susceptible to that bias.

But almost no one would buy it if it looked all clumped up like that in the package in the store.

If it was important, why wait so long before prompting them again? No, it’s not your fault, but if it was a machine on the other end you would have already gotten an answer, so some understanding and accommodation seems reasonable.

Also stains your teeth.

Yes. Cyberpunk and I were oil and water when it was first released. The 2.0 patch made it a different game, and for some magical reason, I jive with it now. It’s one of the best realized worlds. I just finished my first playthrough and I’ll buy the DLC and play again soon!

“Sleep Timer” by CARECON GmbH. Its indispensable for adding a generic sleep timer to any audio or video that does not have such a feature.

Which one? I use “White Noise” by TMSOFT. It’s UI is from 5-7 years ago, but it still works really well. It’s mostly a background noise maker–and has lots of variety–rather than strictly white noise.

I certainly have much better tools to handle my various hangups, but I have a lot more of them, too.

Wait till over 40. You’ll think your 30s were blissful.

I’ve never heard of this. Interesting!

That is such a good and sad film.

What about if the product arrives with damaged or missing pieces (and the packaging is fine)? Serious question.

I consider it “cheering for the underdog.” When they are no longer the underdog, then the cheering ceases.

I’m thinking of it like the micro plastics that were purposely added to bath wash and soap, and now are banned for use in that purpose. I’m not entirely sure I understand the logic behind why those are (justifiably) banned, but microfiber cloths are not.

My stupid question is because I haven’t seen any other news articles specifically talking about microfiber and its contribution to micro plastics.

These are interesting comments but they also do not motivate change: there’s nothing you–the one person your are–can do because the problem is so much bigger than you are.
