Reminds me of the mess that the LTA are in the UK regarding getting Wimbledon tickets. Over the years they've changed domains several times, had a breach, reset passwords multiple times, and now do part of their login via a random thir

Is this something that other browser suppliers could revert by having their browsers support PWAs or is there something at the OS level that makes that impractical/impossible?

There's a distinction between mis-selling (where returns are obviously legitimate) and being disappointed.

It will vary by jurisdiction but in the UK you can return something if faulty or if not suited for the purpose sold and there are some distance selling protections, but just not liking it isn't generally a valid reason. I suspect in th

If they're really worried about deterring potential buyers for a high price item, maybe rental could be an option?

Why on Earth can people return these for non-fault reasons?! It's the other customers who bear the cost to cover this - like indecisive ditzy clothes shoppers who order huge numbers of items knowing they'll return 90% of them.

I don't wish to imply any insult to the reviewer but the Persona image seemed fairly well aligned with how she looked when she did the scan. The poor lighting may have contributed to her slightly pallid colouring in the Persona. Presum

This is a little like the 60s experiment teaching what I believe were nematodes to arch their backs in response to a light shone by the researchers. Those nematodes were ground up and fed to new untrained nematodes which then acquired the b

Yes, I was going to say I thought this had been looked at with the transputer. I also recall Clive Sinclair suggesting this approach in the late 80s (can't recall if that was somehow related to the transputer or was completely separate

Highlights the usual problems with prompt injection. It seems like a mistake that company after company will continue to make for years to come. I find it hilarious as DPD in the UK used to be seriously awful - damaging items and blatantly

I don't know why Google doesn't grasp the nettle and just not index pages like those super low quality ones (ones that no human is ever ever going to want to view). They could surely infer them via a series of experiments: tempora

Yes, all these "it'll take X days to remove this" responses are an excuse. These things should be automatic. Moonpig won't stop reminding me of the upcoming birthday of someone who has died - I have to wait 2 weeks for s

This is an archaic take on sales. They're not selling fungible widgets, their service is not something to offload on clients who don't want it as then they'll obviously just stop the subscription, with all that's happene

Yes, it struck me that the article missed all comment on interesting, relevant points about the tanks, such as how they were not recovered after launch, and therefore the actual existence of this last one should have warranted comment.

Oh goodness, will this hasten the velcropolipse? I fear that whilst velcroing items I will forget the need to not mention velcro as in to velcro or the thing velcro itself and the words the VELCRO™ lawyers said about not saying velcro will
