Not entirely surprising. Dustin (Destin?) from smarter every day tried to get some chainmail from India. Ended up being drop shipped from china

And, to be clear, it was falsely marketed otherwise. They only realized because it was still in the Chinese boxes.

That seems like outright fraud to me, but it doesn't seem like they're going to challenge it based on the video?

It is fraud, but it would likely be difficult and expensive to legally go after the company in India.

Lot of it comes down to where the factories are built. Building fabs is hard and expensive. And when the U.S. has assigned Permanent Normal Trade Relations with China, which in the oughts, ballooned investment in facilities over there and streamlined shipping... And not much else it was intended to do, but that suited the businessmen's interests just fine.

Why wouldn't the Indians pull a fake it til ya make it? Hell of a lot easier than actually doing the thing and competing... Even though that's kinda the whole point of capitalism. But we abandoned that long ago, and the Silicon Valley types and VC types in particular have sworn off it. Dollars and monopolies first. Competition (and lower prices therethrough)? Nah. A sucker's game they say.

I guess I'm a sucker and an idiot, because my answer is simply "because it's wrong". Not to mention, illegal, and them not reversing the transaction only allowed the bad actor to profit.

I'm not excusing them, just like I'm not excusing a scam call center that steals from the elderly.

A scammer's easy answer is to say that everybody is scamming, not only them.

there have been video after video about how they aren't high quality. both on the software front and the build quality

you can't. they don't give you a filter to show just friends. you have to slog through all the "recommended" posts

I didn't say to use a filter that they provide. It's your "user agent" - have it do your bidding.

>When Elon took over; the rules were clearly laid out: buy your checkmark for $7/month (not sure of the price). Pay and you get it; stop paying and you loose it. Everybody knows exactly what it means.

except then he was also randomly giving out checkmarks to people who didn't want them and specifically told him to remove them

i took that as more that the daily jackpot is won daily, but this bug saying they won the mega jackpot happened 14 times in 48 days

So maybe there are 13 other people in the same situation, except that they accepted the consolation prize? This may not be over... (and I would guess the decision here may well be appealed, anyway.)

It's possible, I suppose if there's a different mapping each day of the week then that would line up with 14 occurrences over 49 days if it only happened on weekends for example.

But my original interpretation is the cynical one.

wrong thread, you want the "who wants to be hired" thread, not who is hiring

musk turned anti-CA. but also, if you read the article, the plant is owned by a company in texas.

>Vistra Corp, the Texas-based company that owns and operates the facility,

CA Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzales turned Musk anti-CA:

Here we are 4 years later, and I would say a lot of people would agree with her. LOL.

That's fairly reductive. CA and Musk had a long falling out throughout COVID cemented by the acquisition of Twitter, firing of the staff, and advertising boycott

You're right that there were many straws, and that tweet was only the final one.

I'm pretty sure CA enforcement of its anti-discrimination laws had a much bigger impact than any tweet.

how is there not a single screenshot of what it looks like either in the repo or on the marketplace page? Or did I just miss them?

it's ugly, don't worry.

however, I found this from the malware creator's website itself: https://framerusercontent.com/images/G17CYe9tTL2GP1Rw4mUI8YC...

i'm making it a point to check out alaska about once a year because who knows how long it will remain like it does

Considering there have been over 170 dire climate predictions since the 1960s, and none of them have ever come close to coming to pass, I think we'll be ok.
