- Comment on People in San Francisco Are Mad That a New App Lets You Spy on Bars to See How Busy They Are 10 hours ago:
So when is your Costco not busy? Genuine question as I have gone there mid-day during the week and it will still be pack. One day I went 30 min before close and the parking lot was still full.
- Comment on Ironing 6 days ago:
Take your clothes out of the washer immediately, untangle them if necessary, and put them in the dryer. Don’t just dump all the clothes from washer to dryer. Remove the clothes from the dryer as soon as it’s done while they’re still warm. Hang shirts on hangers and put away the pants. Lastly, only buy new shirts and pants that are iron-free.
- Comment on Arizona toddler rescued after getting trapped in a Tesla with a dead battery | The Model Y’s 12-volt battery, which powers things like the doors and windows, died 1 week ago:
My keyfob battery was dead and I couldn’t use the hidden keyhole to unlock it. I watched a video on YouTube but I still wasn’t able to make it work. It wasn’t an emergency but I would just break the glass if it was one.
- Comment on Google's call-scanning AI could dial up censorship by default, privacy experts warn 1 month ago:
Yes, that’s what I meant to say. Thank you for clarifying.
- Comment on Google's call-scanning AI could dial up censorship by default, privacy experts warn 1 month ago:
Don’t answer unknown numbers and let it ring all the way through. Eventually it stops. If you cut the call or answer it, they will know there is a human being on the other end.
If they are real they will leave you a voicemail. No need to sacrifice your children 😂
- Comment on Amazon Customer Service has become awful 1 month ago:
If you really want to pay them money, order it again and return the old items. There is an option to not request money.
Companies are not allowed to charge for items they already shipped correctly or incorrectly. Even if they could, I can’t imagine it being easy for anyone to just bill you money and mark the order as completed without shipping anything.
From the FTC website - “By law, companies can’t send unordered merchandise to you, then demand payment. That means you never have to pay for things you get but didn’t order. You also don’t need to return unordered merchandise. You’re legally entitled to keep it as a free gift.”
Since they issued the refund, you got unordered items. It’s a business write off as a loss to the seller or Amazon.
- Comment on Amazon Customer Service has become awful 1 month ago:
Amazon.com has 30 day free returns and no need to chat with anyone. We can just drop it off at a location with no packaging or printed label. Not sure if it’s different for .de or for businesses. I wouldn’t think it’s different for US business accounts in the US.
The article is long and confusing. Why are you creating a US based account from Germany. No company will allow that due to tax purposes, especially for businesses.
- Comment on Apple must open iPadOS to sideloading within 6 months, EU says 2 months ago:
Just curious, what do you plan to use it for? I used to use my iPad Mini2 for zoom calls until recently, as zoom now needs iOS 10 or above.
- Comment on Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse 2 months ago:
Just need to make sure the cheap Lenovo has sufficient RAM. I have a $300 HP laptop and it’s slows down if I have more than 10 tabs open on Firefox.
- Comment on More Canadians dive into streaming, pushing traditional TV aside 2 months ago:
No. It’s an option some companies sell as a bundle. I have gotten free cable box with free channels in order for me to get me hooked but I never plugged them in.
- Comment on More and more people are ditching carrier roaming in favor of travel eSIMs 2 months ago:
In some countries it’s not easy like walking in to a store and getting a prepaid card. You need to have an ID and a local address, probably to prevent bad events which use sims cards. A travel sim could be easier but more expensive.
eSIM is much easier and can be activated using an app.
- Comment on More and more people are ditching carrier roaming in favor of travel eSIMs 2 months ago:
I love Airalo. I have used it in 3 countries and works without any issue. I even use it in the US when I reach my data limit as I’m not on an unlimited plan.
- Comment on Firefox saw an increase in users (~50% in Germany and ~30% in France) following Apple’s default browser changes in the EU, as did Brave. 3 months ago:
So are we allowed to use all extensions on Firefox? Is it same as Firefox on Andriod?

I refuse to search in the App Store for this exact reason. Search on Google gives me the direct link to the App in need.
- Comment on DocuSign to lay off 6% of workforce, or about 440 jobs 4 months ago:
I thought Hanko was slowly being retired for regular transactions and only being preserved for big events like marriage / new house purchase.
- Comment on life hacks 5 months ago:
Wonder what type of graphics card they are using. My work laptop could only handle a max of 4 external monitors.
- Comment on life hacks 5 months ago:
Exactly. Plus I rather stand under the hot water instead of standing in the bathroom which is not as warm, in the cold weather.

No exhaust fan?
- Comment on Amazon is now automatically playing fullscreen video ads on Fire TV 6 months ago:
You can enter the credentials manually. I just did it few weeks ago. Maybe it was fixed in a software update.
- Comment on Amazon is now automatically playing fullscreen video ads on Fire TV 6 months ago:
Are you the OP in that post? There seems to be an Apple account issue. It doesn’t ask for this for a software update. The screen comes up when you add an Apple ID. I recently signed out of my Apple TV and got the same screen. I used the physical remote and entered my credentials. I didn’t need to use my phone, even though that was an option.

That information is incorrect.
- Comment on Tesla's reputation slumps as GM, Ford climb - Tesla ranked 62nd by reputation among the 100 most visible brands, tumbling from 12th last year and 8th in 2021. 6 months ago:
It’s not an end of charging station monopoly when all the companies are partnering with Tesla for it’s charging station network after failing to set up one for their own.
- Comment on Detroit's newest road can charge electric cars as they drive on it 6 months ago:
The infrastructure is developed around cars so obviously using cars makes sense. We could have smaller grocery stores and have it closer to neighborhoods so people can walk to it but we have buses which only come once an hour which takes 30 minutes to drive 2 miles and your grocery trip will take 3 hours so you are better off just buying a car!
- Comment on Detroit's newest road can charge electric cars as they drive on it 6 months ago:
You will always have cases where a car is needed, it’s unavoidable. That’s because it’s designed for cars. We have huge parking lots designed for cars but nothing for public transport. Whenever I travel to NYC or Chicago, I can go anywhere in trains and buses. In my city, I can’t even get milk without driving to a store.
- Comment on BMW Is Giving Up on Heated Seat Subscriptions Because People Hated Them 9 months ago:
It makes sense but why make it a subscription. Charge me a flat fee for an upgrade.

- Comment on How to automatically disable Bluetooth with apple shortcuts? 9 months ago:
Does it actually save battery? Genuine question. I did this like 10 years ago but now, I don’t think Bluetooth drains significant battery. I only expect a 1-3% drain over 24 hours.
