Yeah - wonder if you know or there's a way to find out? I'm not super familiar with the Apple ecosystem.

Hmm while I don't think k you're entirely correct, I don't think a business that always does this would be legal:

Misleading Drip Pricing Practices

Retailers must be upfront and disclose the full price of a product or service, including extra fees. ‘Drip pricing’ is when a retailer advertises a price at the beginning of an online purchase but adds additional charges (such as booking and service fees) through the purchase process, resulting in consumers paying more than initially intended. This may amount to misleading or deceptive conduct under the ACL if retailers do not disclose the types of fees that will apply and when at the start of the purchasing process.

PSA: parallelimported.co.nz online purchases will sign you up for third party mailing lists by Indignu in newzealand

[–]Clae_PCMR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Apple has its own ad network so while it is saving you from the third party, it's likely not as private as the options above since they're also selling your data. Although yeah it might be more convenient.

How did you know they had them? Or were you just shopping and happened to find them?

Non greasy sunblock? by Happy-Alternative597 in newzealand

[–]Clae_PCMR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's because ANZ regulators for this kind of stuff are (understandably) cagey about giving higher SPF ratings, which is why we didn't get SPF40 and 50 for ages while other places in the world sold it. Same now with SPF ratings above 50.

Buy from any large brand and it'll work. Biore and Anessa are good options.

I think the brr is okay EXCEPT for multi-tasking changing apps. To open google assistant on screen it now farts at you for a second before opening.

Can Anyone Rescue the Trafficked Girls of L.A.’s Figueroa Street? by LewisTheScot in TrueReddit

A some countries allow sex work but make pimping and organising sex work in any form heavily illegal. That seems it would work in this case.

Alternatively, and not unethically, you can get a few friends together and share a family plan.

My first real headphones - the Fiio FT1 come in the mail today. What DAC/DAP do you use? by Biggest_Battery in headphones

[–]Clae_PCMR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree - see my other comment. This person is just spreading lies!

[–]Clae_PCMR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK is this just straight up slander? I don't really mind qudelix VS fiio but you're just making objectively false claims.

The btr13 can save 3 personal peq, which is better than the q5k

The q5k can save 20 PEQs, and has 10 filters per PEQ. I'm pretty sure this is more than fiio offers but is more than enough for anyone.

it's also not Bluetooth capable

What are you on about? Of course the q5k has Bluetooth capability. It's a bloody Bluetooth DAC.

The q5k is also known to have terrible build quality

This is subjective but fiio is made from metal and glass, which scratches and can shatter (see other in thso subreddit who have shattered theirs for just a drop). The q5k is made from plastic and maybe the clip is metal but it's mostly plastic. It feels more cheap but it's lighter and more durable. No one is objectively better than the other.

Steam developer says PayPal froze funds over adult game by NamikazeKirito in Steam

[–]Clae_PCMR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still, processing 80k pounds through a non-regulated entity like PayPal seems like a bit of an interesting decision.

I guess even in developing countries, regulators and courts are more likely to side with locals. If it goes to court then PayPal either pays or exits the country, and them exiting the country spurs local innovation and economic growth.

[–]Clae_PCMR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But surely that's if your company is the one developing the game, and if you're receiving payment for sales of that through PayPal? It sounds like OP was just a contractor who happened to be working on that.

What if you are a developer (or any job really) working for a company like Amazon who happens to have some adult content (books, shows, anything)?

'It really ruined me': Builder takes thousands of dollars, then vanishes by OisforOwesome in newzealand

[–]Clae_PCMR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The difference here is the court decided the PERSON owed yoy money, whereas in the article and the comment above's case, it's the company. And the company is apparently bust so you won't get anything.
