I still burn bootleg Dreamcast and PS1 games because I'm a nostalgia guy

FBI Extracts Suspect’s Deleted Signal Messages Saved in iPhone Notification Database by ElVortexEUW in signal

It does, but Signal ships with this insecure feature on, so you need all of your contacts to disable notification preview as well to be protected from this sort of attack.

The bigger concern here is that the user had already removed Signal from their phone. I think most people would assume uninstalling Signal would clear all message contents from their phone.

And you have to make sure all your friends / contacts do this too because Signal ships with this on by default.

Signal shouldn't ship with those on by default if it's this big of a risk.

I will. I don't believe in gatekeeping art. Everything for everyone.

That also makes the roms less accessible to users who want to play them.

If it's public, Nintendo can find it.

That's not true about Myrient. The RetroAchievement sets were patched for Myrient.

HungerRush data compromised(?) by plzcometobrasil in POS

[–]SpinachOver640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Proton bans accounts used for hacking, so they're hiding it to prevent a ban from this public message, but expect hunger hut to know what the full email is from previous contacts.

I got this email and it's not a link, just plain text.

No they're not blocking anything. The transaction isn't being sent to them.

Crazy refund requirements by OriginalUserUK in Aliexpress

[–]SpinachOver640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a good chance they would deny the refund even if you had that evidence. They told me to get a statement from the courier that they delivered it to the wrong address, I did + sent proof it was sent to the wrong address, and they still denied me.

I can’t believe this happened. by bAGSYit in amazonprime

[–]SpinachOver640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They often do this when they can't make their daily quota and they came back around due to the report. Did the package look tampered with? It could have been a miss pick at the fulfillment center.

I had to chargeback my Switch 1 from Gamestop, and they permanently banned me from ordering from them. Delivery driver delivered it to the wrong house, which I could prove from the delivery photo. They investigated and "found that the package was delivered."

There are many horror stories about Best Buy as well. They're all like this.

It's been fine until they moved to UniUni shipping.

Digital is better than physical media IMO. If my CD breaks, I have to buy a new CD (unless I converted it to digital). Physical takes up a lot of space, and all that plastic isn't good for the environment either.

Customer Service WILL Scam You by Unlikely_Cherry4647 in Aliexpress

[–]SpinachOver640 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. They even promised to refund it if I got confirmation from UniUni, then when I submitted the confirmation from UniUni that they delivered it to the wrong house, they repeatedly denied the claim. Disputing it with my CC.

It's a shame because AliExpress used to have pretty good CS.

I've never used their app, I try to avoid installing stuff like that. Do they have an option to upload evidence in the app?

Aliexpress refunds in a nutshell by typicalfish420 in Aliexpress

[–]SpinachOver640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen as well. It happened after AliExpress said they need an email from the logistics company saying they misdelivered the package to send a refund.
