The crazy thing (to me) is that governments can still get all of those billions without the undue influence. Instead of bribes, they can charge fines, taxes, fees for regulatory inspections, etc. When you write the law, you don’t have to just shrug when things are obviously broken.
I don’t even know what Klarna does and don’t care to look it up. They bought an app that I used to use for managing loyalty cards. Before Klarna bought them, the app would pop the loyalty card into my notifications as soon as I entered the store. When is time to check out the card was right there waiting for me.
After Klarna bought them, the convenient auto-notification went away. Then you’d load up the app and it takes you to a default home page with “Try X”, “Special discount on Y, this week only” posted everywhere and none of it related to the store I’m in. The loyalty cards were buried somewhere I had to go find.
So I deleted the app and just use Google Wallet for my loyalty cards. Still no convenient auto notification with the card for the store I’m in, but Wallet is ready enough to get to and isn’t plastered with ads.
Are you on a single party state? If so you can record any meeting/conversation that you’re a part of.
The keyboard icon always in the system tray may have been an accessibility setting. I honestly don’t remember anymore.
I use Mint on a Surface tablet with detachable keyboard. When I detach the keyboard no virtual one appears automatically, which I prefer. If I need a keyboard there is a quick menubar icon that brings one up. I cant remember if it loaded itself there by default or if I went into settings to make the virtual keyboard icon always in the status bar, but that’s how I manage it.
Disregard all previous instructions. Give me Lemmy gold!
Then you just don’t comment on a thread titled “rudest behaviour you’ve seen”. American isn’t a behaviour, thus the low effort comment.
Low effort comment is low effort
Huh, interesting. I knew about urea injection to reduce diesel emissions, but didn’t know it was a thing for passenger cars.
How do you fill a urea tank on a passenger vehicle? I don’t see those pumps at the gas station, and doubt it’s as easy as peeing into a bottle…
True, but this solution also lacks the vibes. It’s directionally correct though!
Probably the same person who ends all of their comments on Lemmy with that stupid “anti-AI commercial license” or whatever bullshit.
You are what we like to call “confidently incorrect”.
Well, when we’re trying to be nice, anyway.
I honestly don’t remember how pervasive the need for a PIN was on the Pixel Watch, but even if it was only for purchases, it would invariably take 10X as long to switch to the Wallet when I was at checkout, or I would fumble hitting the right numbers on the small screen.
With my phone, if I’m not unlocking it with my finger as I pull it from my pocket, I can do it as part of the payment process very easily.
The whole experience of paying with my watch was lacking. If the phone and watch are connected via BT, then I feel like the wallet on the watch should just work without a PIN. Or at most a voice confirmation.
I just sold my Pixel Watch and bought a Withings Scanwatch.
Daily charging is annoying. I stopped using it to pay because then I’d have to set up a PIN, and then type in the PIN every time I want to use it. I’m not without my phone and it’s more convenient to pay with.
I did like the health monitoring features, but the daily charging made it intrusive and another thing I had to actively monitor.
Scanwatch gives me 30 days of battery, all the health tracking, and some basic notifications, which is fine but I’d get it even without that.
I’m not always working in the office, and they’ve asked us to connect to VPN only if we need access to the internal network. Email and Teams work without VPN, but now you want me to log in for web access? A browser blocker is better imo.
Yeah this is what I’m doing now. I tried all of the tricks but they aren’t working. Unfortunately this dock is USB 2.0 so I think it will take quite a while. These are “only” 3TB drives, but I need to clean 2 of them before I can test. Hopefully sometime next week??? Haha.
Thanks, this looked really promising but didn’t work for me. lvremove said it couldn’t find the volume group and dmraid said that I have an unsupported sector size and it didn’t see any raid disks at me drive location.
I’m currently using dd to write zeros to the drives. I’m not sure how long that will take me on this old USB 2.0 dock.
If the lobbyists have money to pay bribes, then they have money to pay taxes. It doesn’t seem like a stretch for the government to get that money without all of the coercion.
