I cried watching Measure of a Man. It's a gift to humanity. But Ad Astra Per Aspera clearly overtakes it imo. It doesn't ask just about the implications of the law, but about what it - and society, and its constituents - should aspire to be. It's less about military codes and an individual's selfishness (Maddox), telling a more universally applicable story still firmly entrenched in Trek lore.

Savage contrast with Zelensky.

For people like me who need visual aids.

By that logic, I should take it up with the delivery guy; both he and the reseller simply passed-through a sealed product.

I have a webcam and mouse from them as well. Was becoming quite a fanboy before this.

Yeah, thinking of trying to resolder it.

The price was like $20 less on Ebay, and it shipped about a month sooner.

Oh... that's actually brilliant. 🤔

Sounds far more reasonable than we have stateside. Basically all we can do is "vote with our wallets" by buying from different companies until we find products that last marginally longer, or are cheap enough we can replace them weekly.

Ah yes, I must've used ChatGPT to generate the photos of it being sold in a sealed box. And the ebay account listing. And the receipt.

I could just make up a receipt from an authorized reseller. What kinda proof is good enough? Do these items degrade in a sealed box? If so, why track the warranty from resale date instead of manufacturing date? If not, photo evidence of a sealed box on sale should be sufficient imo.

The reality is, this sort of resale is common, is hardly more risky than with authorized resellers, and deserves greater consumer protections.

My Galaxy Note 20 used to let me schedule restarts daily. I'd put in my password, then biometrics would work the rest of the day. Then they removed the feature to make things "simpler;" so it reboots and requires a password whenever's least convenient. (Unfortunately rooting isn't an option when using a work profile.)

Passion. The people here care enough to have not only left Reddit, but to have made a new community here.
