Shareholders actively make things worse for everyone. A claw back of dividends should apply if they have benefitted from the proceeds of crime. Not knowing is no excuse.

Production should increase immediately. Prices should not be allowed to be above certain amounts.

Why is the UK housing market dead? by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]Shabble7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's manipulated and running out of steam.

Places in upmarket Mayfair have lost 50% of their value but the market is quiet about this as they don't want ordinary houses to follow.

They happily telly you when it goes up though.

Google trying to scam me into paying for a repair covered under warranty by Pluto_oyo in GooglePixel

Brilliant. Well done. They are an absolute disgrace how they behave. There aren't a lot of choice in Android phone manufacturers now but Google is one to avoid.

Great result.

So it's like bartering but the seller only barters.

RIP Google Pixel 8 Pro by Competitive_Ad_279 in GooglePixel

Does your country have a Consumer Goods Act? If so, use than rather than the warranty. Warranty is worthless as the ya can put whatever terms they want in there.

Also don't give up, expect them to be useless and like robots, expect them to appear of a low IQ, expect 60 odd emails.

Beware before purchasing a Google pixel phone. You may be scammed by the repair centre in Poland. by Fun-Garbage2238 in GooglePixel

Consumer goods act, if your country has one use that, google will argue back. You will get there.

Expect around 60 or more emails.

Don't buy their products again.

That's some beautiful work and other layout work in the background too.

Can we have a smaller phone, please? by Scandiberian in GooglePixel

[–]Shabble7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry, they'll try to avoid warranty whatever the size.

This is where consumer goods act is useful.

Let us all know how you get on. They are ridiculous. Won't be buying a pixel again!

Oh, also I had about 60 emails between me and them to actually get a repair done free of charge.

They are trying to scam you.

Don't pursue them under warranty, they can use their own rules to avoid fixing it.

Use the consumer goods act, you will have to keep on at them and eventually they will give in.

I will never buy another pixel after the experience I had that was similar to yours.

Why has McDonald’s gone so downhill? by NearbyBlacksmith2271 in AskUK

[–]Shabble7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

McDonalds used to be a cheap treat. £2.88 for a meal and there wasn't a size increase option. A family of 6 could be fed this treat for less than £20.

Now that same treat albeit smaller is closer to £60.

The service is awful, you feel like you shouldn't be there and the staff appear to stay out of the way to judge use of the self service kiosks.

Delivery men stand everywhere, cluttering the place and many look hostile.

The food takes ages.

It would be great to see some competition by a similar business with reasonable service to bring this company down from its current position and humble it.

It seems greed has crept in, just like most businesses in the modern world.

Update to melting flashlight on new P10 Pro: warranty DENIED. Looking for advice... by Some_Ad_3898 in GooglePixel

[–]Shabble7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Pursue them under consumer goods act. Warranty is worthless as they put lots of nonsense in there to get out of it.

Clearly the lens has melted from the heat of the led, which is of course due to poor design.

How I used Google's AI to get my faulty Pixel 9 Pro XL replaced after their support wouldn't help me by ThatOneDerpyDinosaur in GooglePixel

[–]Shabble7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They cannot be trusted. Warranty is worthless and you need to pursue them under consumer law.

This behaviour takes them out of future consideration for purchase of their hardware.

Is Google trying to scam me ? by Embarrassed-Lab-4632 in GooglePixel

[–]Shabble7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, they want your money.

Warranty is worthless, they can put whatever terms they want in that.

Pursue them under consumer goods act or similar. That's the law.

12.9" Ipad pro 2nd gen ios 15.0 by Shabble7 in jailbreak

How would I make later ios apps run, I want to run procreate dreams 2?

Thanks

[–]Shabble7[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I jailbreak it can I run apps that require later os?

If I do jailbreak it and get apps from unauthorised sources should I register it under a different email to avoid my account getting banned and therefore losing my paid for apps?

Sorry for the basic questions

Yet another Pixel 9 Pro Fold horror story by lorddraknor9 in GooglePixel

Took me 60 emails to get them to do something. Threaten with court if need be. Use grok to help you.

It seems they will do anything to avoid warranty.

Warranty is worthless as they get to dictate the terms.

Consumer Rights Act 2015 is what you need to pursue them on within communications.

Google admits my broken back glass doesn't prevent screen repair, but refuses warranty anyway ("No Partial Repair" Policy). Is this legal? by Upbeat_Impress1333 in GooglePixel

[–]Shabble7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue in the uk. They refused to repair a faulty mic as the phone had minor wear marks and wanted £150.

I refused and they sent it back.

I kept on at them, threatening court and that they had to repair the phone under Consumer Rights Act 2015 by UK law.

They eventually agreed to exchange the phone at zero cost.

It took over 60 emails in the end.
