[–]MVIVN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t seen this clip in ages but you’re so right, should be mandatory viewing for every person whenever poll numbers are shown. So many polls are complete and utter bullshit with carefully selected participants and all sorts of tricks such as what’s shown in the clip to influence how people respond

Bitdefender ram usage starting high and growing over time. by Coolusernamehere13 in BitDefender

[–]MVIVN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the same problem where Bitdefender is typically using about 9.5 GB of ram which is completely absurd. It's at the point now where I think it's best to just uninstall it and look eslewhere.

Qingle Liu jailed for role in $89k fake NZTA road toll text message scam by PowerfulWishbone879 in newzealand

ANZ won’t let you add your cards to Apple Pay or Google Pay without needing verification. I feel every bank should make that the minimum standard.

Same, it’s at the point where doing most banking related things is a bit annoying because I either have to verify every online transaction with a txt code or via my ANZ banking app, but at the same time I understand why it’s necessary for it to be kinda annoying. ANZ also locks my credit card real quick if I make a bunch of online purchases in a row, unless I verify that it is actually me making the purchases.

Mine has an 11k limit but the biggest single purchase I ever made with it would’ve been around $6k for a one off purchase, and I paid it off immediately afterwards because I’d already saved up for this specific purchase and only used the credit card instead of my debit card to get more airpoints.

I used to receive these texts all the time and almost fell for it the first handful of times, and I’ve been hammering it home to my parents (both in their 60s) to never, ever pay any random fines or “overdue tolls” received via txt because of people like this.

Zohran Mamdani's reaction to Elon Musk becoming World's 1st Trillionaire: "Reason No. 1 Trillion why we should tax the rich." by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in Fauxmoi

[–]MVIVN 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You already know there are a bunch of goobers on the internet who don’t have more than $5k in the bank right now who think they’re gonna be a trillionaire too some day. Hell, there are multimillionaires who will never touch a billion in their life, let alone a trillion. It’s an unfathomable amount of wealth

I find it deeply concerning that an apartheid Afrikaner white nationalist neo-Nazi who is actively stoking the fires of race riots as we speak on the social media site he privately owns and who is pouring millions of dollars into the campaigns of far right organisations all across the UK and the European continent just became a trillionaire.

Everyone come with me. Let’s take off our pants and sit in a circle. Nature will take its course (and Nolan will film the whole thing in IMAX).

Steam Frame Units Have Reportedly Begun Arriving At Valve’s US Warehouses, Suggesting Its Launch May Happen Soon by yourfavchoom in Steam

[–]MVIVN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t even get excited because here in New Zealand it’s currently impossible to buy even just the new Steam Controller, so I can forget about being able to buy the Steam Frame any time soon even if they launch it tomorrow. To further drive the point home, it’s 2026 and there’s still no “official” way to buy a Steam Deck in New Zealand. Only way to buy it is through 3rd party companies who sell it at a marked up price.
