So how do you know everything is legit and not just the adaptors? You are "trusting" the poster here and assuming there "intentions" are good.
633.
by kop316 6y ago
I think there is more to the story here than being told really. I bet they did investigate, and the poster didn't have documentation. Why are we assuming the commenter is being totally.honest?

So...CBP are now magically EEs and should now know everything about electronics?

In a civil case like the one above, its based on a preponderance of evidence. Are you saying that when one device is fake, I should give the benefit of the doubt and assume no other is?
636.
by kop316 6y ago
You seem assume that CBP will just trust you on your word alone. That's my entire point. They don't know what your intentions with this are, nor if you are being truthful.

by kop316 6y ago
Yeah, or least inspect them much more closely. If you bought something and it arrived and was a fake, would you buy from that shipper again?
638.
by kop316 6y ago
Respectfully, how would they be able to verify that a) you are being truthful, and b) that only part of the shipment is real, when once part has been shown not to be?

by kop316 6y ago
CBP has no idea what your intention is. Would you agree that a reasonable assumption that if an electronic is shipped with an AC adaptor, then that electronic will be used with it? And CBP does not have a crystal ball: - Are you using it a

Ahh, fair enough! I have just seen a lot of hate to it, and I personally think some of that is unfair to WP.

I've seen people say WordPress is the devil, but honestly, I have found if you want a simple blog, it works extremely well. I selfhost two WordPress instances with a LAMP stack on Debian (the hardware is literally in my basement), and

I mean, I have an aftermarket stero in my car and I went to the dealer to get the blindspot sensors replaced. They honored the warrenty and replaced the sensors at no cost to me. In your scenario, that's also exactly what small claims

Yes, I do. I have lived in several different areas where I had no problems getting the full advertised speed at any given time (on peak, off peak, etc.). I think the biggest reason they say "up to" is because a lot of poeple get a

Yep I noted that. My thought is really if someone has to go through the trouble of taking an angle grinder to the lock, there is a bunch of noise (and sparks) that have to happen first. I admittedly know mine is a juicier target than most b

The knowledge it gains the end user is the confidence that the service I am using actually knows what they are doing. I have often found that if someone uses imprecise terminology, it is a symptom of a bigger issue.

For linux users out there, in a previous discussion, audacious has a winamp 2.x appearance, and it can even be skinned with winamp 2.x skins!

I've also noticed in a lot of states that cars have the "fraternal order of police" sticker, and it is affixed right on their licence plate. I suspect its for a similar reason, that either if you get your plate's picture

Other than the signal app, it does all of what you ask. It does NOT do MMS (nor does the Pinephone, there is no software support on any of them). I don't know if signal works in a web browser?

For the record, when the librem 5 birch came out and I got my shipping notification, that guy (Jay Little) literally asked if the FedEx package was real. I also made a forum post (on Purism, not Reddit) about asking how to charge the batter
