Until you do enough charge backs that your card flags you as a problem. And you can of course go with the option of doing the work yourself to get reimbursed and settling with your cards system. But this one is much nicer. If the cards insurance was this nice, I wouldn’t recommend the better one.
Yep for sure, they 100% will fulfill their obligation at their cost if you don’t get the insurance. And if you want them to do it that way, it’s very much an option you can choose. But I recommend the better option.
It is on them, unless you get the insurance, then its on the insurance and you get a much better experience. They could either raise the price for everyone, or raise the price for people that want it raised…
Sucks that they tried to hide it, but I definitely recommend getting it. Of the 10 times I ordered from them so far, 2 of them arrived with a broken bottle. When a bottle breaks, you don’t want that box in your house… I let the delivery guy know right away what he likely got on his hands from touching the box, so he didn’t touch his eyes or anything before cleaning them. With a picture of the broken bottle, they let me toss the entire box and resent the whole order. Both times. I wouldn’t bother if it was just a tier 1 or 2 that broke, but one of those times it was da bomb… and the other, it was that years last dab.
I wonder what they do for replacements when people don’t get that, do people need to send it back? That would suck for everyone.
Yeah, that’s what I figured. When stuff isn’t as common as you expect on the internet, it probably doesn’t happen in the states.
I guess they felt videogames didn’t look quite enough like soap operas or instagram “models”.
Hmm, I thought this was more common, is it not used in the states or something? Not seeing it anywhere near as much as I was expecting to in this thread. Far as I know this is the standard everyone uses, but I guess not “everyone” everyone.
Oh man, there is a record for that? Pawsitraction would have won that if they were still alive. Friends cat, had 7 beans on 3 of their paws and 9 on the other. Ah wells, probably for the best, would have gotten in the way of sitting quietly and cuddling, which is all them and their owner wanted in life.
Most of the people promoting it whole-heartedly are doing it for the sake of “profit at any cost”. There would have been a reasonable way to approach it and incorporate it into our lives. But destroying everything while forcing people to use it for stuff it isn’t even good at, while founding it on stealing so much stuff, and having a race to see who can make their AI 1% better than the other AIs at the small cost of burning down the planet exponentially more for each 1% gain… that was not the approach that would get the people behind you.
It’s not even AI that is the problem, as always it’s people. Selfish people. AI “can” be useful, but not useful enough to justify the cost they forced it to have. That’s the main problem, that they stole initially, then the next biggest problem, that they fired so many humans and replaced them with AI, when AI couldn’t, and still can’t, replace them. The next biggest problem, that they are pursuing it so hard at any cost, and the cost is insane, in so many metrics. Next, that they force people to use it to justify that cost, even when the people are telling them, and the metrics are showing, that using it is making them worse at their job.
But AI -is- technically useful. There are things it can actually help with, quite a bit. Just not as many things as the bosses are trying to pretend it can be good at. And ignoring the costs that can never be justified, the product that exists if thinking about it in a vacuum can be used responsibly, but so many people don’t. If you are using AI responsibly as an individual, your job shouldn’t feel easier, just less tedious. If AI is making your job easier now, you might be paying for it down the line. Never get AI to do for you, something you couldn’t have done on your own. Make sure you know what it did, and if you can’t figure out how it came to a conclusion you didn’t forsee, you better figure it out. Cuz it might be wrong, and it’s important to know if it was, it’ll always sound really confident, right or wrong.
But yeah, how useful it is in the few select areas it doesn’t suck at, ends up being largely irrelevant in the grand scheme, since it can never pay off what it costed, and is still costing. And that statement is even still true if we limit ourselves to only considering it’s literal financial cost.
So, in conclusion, yes. AI is gonna feel very right wing right now. Profit at any cost.
It’s not indefinite, we just don’t know when it’s gonna end…
Man, I know they are idiots, but that’s just silly.
Asserting that everyone else sees it your way, while being downvoted so much seems a little out of touch to me.
The people who think of the word rape to only mean violence are the ones that are wrong. Why should the people that are right be the ones that change, when all you have to do is also learn the correct definition of the word?
A console version of a game doesn’t exist until it’s finalized into that format… all major games are made on PC. But the dev version of the game isn’t really a PC version of the game yet, it’s just a version that runs on “this PC”. The PC version has to run on as many PCs as possible for it to get released. That is what takes the time.
Yeah, and to help explain, all games have a version that for sure works on a handful of PCs. No guarantee it would run on “your system”. That is what takes so long for pc ports of console games. Not getting them to work on the devs pcs, getting them to work on as many pcs as possible across the world.
I mean, even just assumption based on the fact that it was the case every previous time is kind of enough.
But the main reason PC ports come out after console is, tuning for a variety of hardware. PCs are millions of different things. Consoles are like 5 things. Tuning for them is much quicker.
The more complex a game is, the longer the gap between it being ready for release on consoles and it being ready for release on literally anything between the minimum requirements they are willing to target and the highest end hardware currently available plus an attempt to future proof it for stuff that doesn’t exist yet.
The exact timeframe can come down to an exclusivity deal, but the time isn’t wasted.
Yeah, it’s like a calculator. Don’t get reliant on it. Know why it gives an answer, be able to get to the answer yourself, but appreciate the time saving of the calculator when you can verify that it was correct much faster than getting to the answer yourself.
You personally seem to think of the word rape as inherently violent. The word only means non-consentual sex. There are a variety of ways for it to be non-consentual. Being legally incapable of giving consent is one of those ways, the word is correctly used, you think of it differently than what it means.
And you seem think think everyone does.
He’ll have to ask @grok what that title means…
They probably thought since it’s nowhere near the level of some games that were allowed to go without the tag, they probably didn’t need to worry about it.
They do, and honestly to my eyes the shipping already looks like overkill for safety, but have received “rounded” boxes way too often to have any idea how a product ever arrives whole.
