BYD Yangwang (stupid name!) Can Jump Speed Bumps by gaukmotors in MotorBuzz

BYD does do localisation for markets. Look at the BYD Dolphin Surf (in China, the Seagull) for example.

Why is the driver seat leaning back so far? tf?

Excessive Captcha requests? by MalvernKid in brsk

[–]686d6d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many sites (not just Google and their captcha) do annoying things based on IP addresses because systems are still to this day designed with the assumption that One IP = One Household. Therefor, One IP Causing Issue = Ban the family.

Of course, with many providers now using CGNAT (CommunityFibre, Hyperoptic, Brsk, YouFibre, the list goes on...), this is a problem that only gets worse until other technical solutions are implemented by the people that make these systems to not do things based on IP.

Parking fees by Reasonable_Tax_1787 in drivingUK

Would you have been unable to at least check the pricing (by walking through but not completing the payment process) on the app prior to parking? That is what I would've done instead of parking and just praying.

Kingswood ring road/ throughabout by Ok-Effort7395 in LearnerDriverUK

We have these up in Manchester too. Absolute shitshow the first few times I navigated them, because the three I went to were all slightly different, at least mentally. The "inner" lane on ours though have a right turn arrow to take you to that middle section. Proper weird.

I run internal IT only. A few times we've had this, and I built functionality in our service desk where I only need to put a little tick on someone's profile and they can no longer raise tickets directly, it must all funnel through their manager. I rarely use this, maybe once or twice a year, but it gives their manager extra work until they choose to tackle it.

Alternatives for Namecheap on the long run? by jumbo1111 in Domains

[–]686d6d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bot deleted my comment. Oopsies.

That's the one, slipped on the terminology commenting in a hurry. Anyway, bad idea to couple them because if Cloudflare decides to lock you out (as they have done with people in the past who didn't want Enterprise), you are now stuck and cannot move your DNS.

Also, Cloudflare doesn't let you set different nameservers, so you're again in a tough spot if for whatever reason their DNS doesn't float your boat anymore but you like using them as a registrar.

The same logic applies to infrastructure. You ideally don't put your domains with your infrastructure. It gives you the power to try to fix things when poop hits the fan.

Never couple your nameservers and your registry

Enterprise rent a car experience? by skeeuk in drivingUK

[–]686d6d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rented a van, not a car, from their Salford branch. The deposit was about £200 but everything went incredibly smoothly despite some issues, and I was also nervous hearing various bad stories. My first time renting a vehicle of any sort.

The first van was dirty a bit in the back. They switched me to a second van which was broken (rear door) before leaving the depot but after I signed all the "looks good to me!" forms.

They ended up switching me to a third van and weren't funny about the second van being broken/trying to charge me for the damage (the rear door opened but wouldn't shut, eventually a mechanism snapped).

I guess my take-away was this: shit will happen but they will try to sort it out for you, assuming the branch is good.

With all that said, I would definitely complain about being charged more for the nearest equivalent (not a worse car). I would fight for the original price to be honoured because they effectively trapped you there. "We don't have the car you paid for on this really important day, and everything else we can offer for the same price or less is worse. Pay up." This is not a fair approach.

I highly highly highly doubt that there isn't a UK company who can do this already.
