  Wasn’t this exact scenario posted to r/talesfromtechsupport a few years ago. It sounds very familiar

  We have speed limits for a reason, why does everyone insist on ignoring them? Serious question, as I live in a mountainous area and cars are constantly crashing because people insist on speeding. The roads are winding and narrow with lots of traffic and wildlife, so you never really know what’s around the bend.

  You do know where that cash back is coming from, right? Everything you buy has credit card fees baked into the price. The business pays anywhere from 1-5% on every transaction to accept your payment, and a small percent of that is returned to you as “cash back” rewards. Its why I’ve switched back to using cash and any coins I get as change go into a jar. That earns much more than %10 “cash back”, and some shops even make the customers pay the CC fee here in aus so I get a small “discount” too.

  Hardware virtualization is often disabled in the bios by default and probably just needs to be enabled. Called something like AMD-VT or INTEL-Vd

  and we were also first in line for things like the COVID vaccine, because the companies could make so much of their profits here…

  We were first in line because the US government paid billions to fund the R&D to get the vaccine out. Then when manufacturing started in limited supply it went to the highest bidder first, which again was the US. We paid for it twice . I think that kind of thing should not be patented, we the people paid for the research and development, and the pharma companies got all the profits. If other companies and countries were allowed to manufacture the vaccines, we would have squashed COVID much faster.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I just cancelled Spotify and switched to Tidal a few months ago exactly because of shenanigans like this. I was getting popups to look at recommended eBooks that I had to buy.

  That was it for me and I cancelled immediately. Between the ads and the countless bugs and issues I had while using their app, glad I made the change. Been a premium member with Spotify for almost 10 years.

  Austrian? I think you mean Australian there mate! Trucks are much heavier, UTEs are what you Yankees call “trucks”. It’s a UTE because it’s a utility vehicle and used by tradies and farmers and the like.
