- Comment on UPS is bullshit for international shipments 1 week ago:
It’s the fee for them to file the import paperwork for you. Every shipping company charges some amount for it. The customs broker we use at work charges $100 to do it. If you don’t want to pay it you have to call and tell them to hold your shipment at the border until you have it cleared through customs yourself, not a new thing.
I don’t have any sympathy for someone who is clearly aware of how it works and thinks they can just bully their way out of paying charges they’re responsible for. The receiver is presumably also an adult who knows how to drive down to the UPS depot and pick up the package they refused to take delivery of the first time. You’re doing way more than you should to for someone who doesn’t deserve your time.
- Comment on UPS is bullshit for international shipments 1 week ago:
Other carriers definitely charge you a brokerage fee to do the customs clearance for you. Some are only around $8 iirc, very reasonable. The only time you don’t get charged is with Canada Post/ USPS de minimus packages.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

You’re telling me there are malware detection tools that hit on the Chinese language? Like anything from China is malicious?
- Comment on This Printer company served you malware for months, called them false positives 5 weeks ago:
The fact they’re still trying to blame “Chinese language” after presumably being provided with receipts?

Oh I didn’t realize connecting a VR headset to my computer made it not a computer anymore
- Comment on Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today 2 months ago:
Fair but why not include a traditional mode so everyone can experience it. Otherwise it’s still just a gimmick to sell hardware
- Comment on Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today 2 months ago:
the valve index is very expensive
The whole kit is $1300 before tax
- Comment on Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today 2 months ago:
With the little box doohickeys it’s currently $1300 CAD. I believe it used to be more.
- Comment on Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today 2 months ago:
Valve’s ‘official’ VR hardware costs $1500. Ain’t no way 😆
- Comment on Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today 2 months ago:
The reason it’s forgotten because most people aren’t able to play it. If valve really did put important story in a game that they knew most gamers would never be able to play that’s kind of shitty

Lmao I’d be going to their office hours with a list of questions just for that
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Right because when I search for factual information what I really want is an LLM to tell me “sorry Dave I can’t answer that question right now.” (See: any election related information. As in it doesn’t just kick you back to the web search results it just straight up refuses to give you the answer.)
