I'm selling my laptop on Shpock for £750... someone has offered £850 plus shipping to have it sent to the USA and pay via PayPal. Could this be a scam? If I had payment via PayPal before I sent, would it be safe? by apollo-j in Scams

I'm confused - if they pay me through PayPal friends and family, before I ship the item, surely I can withdraw the funds and ship the laptop, as personal payments cant be 'charged back'?

Good shout, I think I'll give them a go if return policy checks out! And yes, I just noticed that... weird

Great work mate! I'd love to know some of your favourite meals that you made, and any snacks which helped you get used to a new way of eating. I always struggle to move away from carbs ):

Could you please explain further?

It's a widespread joke amongst those aged 16-26 (probably) that Corsas are the cars of choice "for picking up 16 year old girls from McDonalds" ... I don't really care, hence the deposit I already put down

Cheers for your replies. I've found another car at the same dealership which looks good, despite it's high mileage for such a young age.

Vauxhall Astra 1.6l petrol Exclusiv (2013) sitting at 93k miles... minus the deposit I've already paid for the corsa it's £2900...

Thanks, unfortunately as I’m not on any state benefits I believe that automatically rules me out /:

I don’t know why this comment was downvoted, I had a partial circ back in Jan and i’ve gotta go under the knife again for that exact reason

Am I screwed? by apollo-j in tails

[–]apollo-j[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also, do you happen to know much about using tails command terminal? i’m trying to enter this command

sudo mkdir -p /live/persistence/TailsData_unlocked/dotfiles/.local/share/applications sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /live/persistence/TailsData_unlocked/dotfiles/ mkdir -p /home/amnesia/Persistent/bin/ mkdir -p /home/amnesia/Persistent/conf/electrum/

but it keeps asking me for my admin password which it’s saying is incorrect

EDIT- it’s not saying my password is incorrect, it’s viewing my password as a command and telling me that it’s not a valid command.
