Google not required to refund victims of gift card scams, judge rules in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] Veedem@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

I don’t think you understand how determined the buyers are once they’ve been convinced by the scammer. I used to work for a major retailer that had signs at the register AND messages that the customer had to accept on the signature pad confirming they didn’t believe they were being scammed before going through with the purchase.

Additionally, my team was instructed to call me over any time they had a customer who they felt was being scammed to try to talk to them. Sometimes, I was successful, but other times I wasn’t. There is still one guy who goes in weekly to buy $500 of various gift cards for his overseas “girlfriend” on WhatsApp. I tried talking to him multiple times and he became increasingly angry at the conversation. I just had to accept I couldn’t help him.

I thought you need $401k to retire.

At first I was like “this shit makes no sense and isn’t funny”

Then I got it and was proud of myself like I had actually accomplished something.

Take your fucking upvote and get out of here.

The word “weird” gets overused a lot but this is weird as fuck. Pretty creepy.

Anyone else hate seeing billionaires, for either side, being so blatantly involved in trying to tip the scales? It’s always been done behind the scenes, but now it’s out in the open and we’re supposed to be happy about it?

I think there are healthy ways to encourage it. Take her out to a nice dinner. Dress nicely yourself.

But also, find her attractive regardless of the clothes.

Minimum wage in c/microblogmemes@lemmy.world

It’s wild how conservatives have been led to believe that people shouldn’t make a livable wage doing whatever job needs to be done.

Then, when people don’t want to work for shit pay, they cry that “nobody wants to work anymore”.

Doesn’t surprise me. He owes everything to the McMahon family who was also closely aligned to Trump.

Photon, on mobile browser, seems to “snap” to the beginning of each post when scrolling. Is there a way to turn this feature off?

Where to find Marketplace support? (lemmy.world)
 

Long story short, my son plays Minecraft on the iPad and used some gold coins to purchase an add-on (“TNT!”) from the marketplace. Unlike other addons that work fine, this one gives a “Download Failed” error message every time he tries to install it. I can not, for the life of me, figure out where a support option is for Mojang to help resolve the issue or refund the coins. Does anyone here have any suggestions?

Door hinge pin keeps coming up. How to solve? (lemmy.world)
 

Looking for help in solving a problem where the lower door hinge pin on my entry door keeps creeping up and causing the deadbolt to become slightly misaligned making it more difficult to lock. Reading online, I keep coming across suggestions of tightening a screw that’s supposed to lock the pin in place but my hinges don’t seem to have that screw.

Anyone have any other ideas on how to fix this problem?

[MacOS] Anti-virus recommendations? (lemmy.world)
 

Looking for some insight into what everyone is using for antivirus. I have AVG a whirl but I experienced some weird stuttering on my M2 MacBook Air, so obviously I want something that is minimally impactful on performance while still being accurate.

Thank you and a suggestion (lemmy.world)

First of all, just wanted to say thank you. I’ve come over from a different app that I paid for and then it has been, mostly, abandoned. I appreciate the feature set and thought put into Arctic and have donated a bit through the BuyMeACoffee link.

One suggestion/wish: Can you please change the “< Subscriptions” button to something like a hamburger menu icon instead? Here’s my thought process: The current button points backwards which, generally, acts as a navigation to the previous screen one was on. However, in this case, starting on the chosen default tab, there’s nothing really to go back to, yet. Turning this into a menu button gives a better indication of its function and looks more aesthetically pleasing (IMO)

Either way, thanks for the great app and I look forward to your work in the future
