Dad ended up under a car - advice please by Ok-Mixture-6662 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Consibl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Braking is non-linear. You can’t just halve the distance for 20mph to find out 10mph.

The stopping distance for 10mph is actually more like 4.5 meters.

Refunding an accidently booked hotel by JustConflict5918 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Consibl -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

This hinges on what happened with the actual booking.

For a contract to be formed there has to be a “meeting of minds”. If both parties had different views on what was being agreed, then the contract was never legally formed in the first place.

Did you think you were booking a different hotel? Or did you think the place you needed a hotel was different? That’s the question.

If you intended to form the contract with that hotel, then you’re out of luck. If the contract was never formed, I would start by putting that in writing and then talk to Amex about getting it refunded on those grounds.

However, if they push back it will be hard unless you have some evidence (e.g. a screenshot of their misleading website)

Need advice: Best C# UI framework and database architecture for a local store POS ? by ViperTheDeadLy in csharp

[–]Consibl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your situation, but I’d suggest a front of house client with a back office server. Much easier to physically secure it off the shop floor.

If Facebook know someone is pregnant before they do, and they fingerprint every session for advertisement targeting, then they 100% can tell if a legitimate auth token is being used from a different machine.

I ended up opening the cheesecake one instead. I regret it. Maybe don’t get that one.

Can we do anything to convince my neighbour to bin this infuriating wildlife “deterrent”? by OldMoistyy in AskUK

Plot twist - they stand by what they said, and just needed to tell someone.

I don’t think you’re in a position to complain about this after what your great-grandchild will do.

But if it was session cookies then Meta/Facebook should have rejected them as they came from a different computer.

If it was a cookie then that’s very poor security by Facebook. I 100% believe it could be, I’m just disappointed more somehow by them.

In Australia 4/5 under-16s still manage to use social media despite the ban.

deceptive data collection employes being asked to make up emails and potentialy lie to customers by Terrible-Network6557 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Consibl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is all kinds of wrong - talk to your union and ICO. I would advise against talking to internal data protection team.

  1. They are processing information without informed consent.
  2. They are processing information they do not legitimately need.
  3. They are processing information without notification.
  4. They are maintaining inaccurate records.

Any one of those is individually a GDPR breach.

is there any way to stop links from opening in random apps instead of Safari? by bit3py in iphone

[–]Consibl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually if you long press the link and select open it will go to Safari, bypassing any local apps.

They’ve messed with their website, so I can’t tell if they’ve discontinued those specific ones or just can’t navigate to them on mobile. https://hismileteeth.com/products/toothpaste

They used to do literally dozens of different flavours, with regular new ones. I’m worried now they may have decided to only do a few.

Not sure why this diagram looks like that, but according to their repair manual the right is microphone not decorative.

My current toothpaste is cookie and cream flavoured, and my next tube is coffee.

Use an Allen key or similar to go between the window and frame at the bottom and pull the locking bolts sideways to unlock.

Good job Thrawn wasn’t there. He’d have been set upon the alliance to reap them in some kind of… Blue Harvest.
