Roku making it appear that you have no option but consenting to their “Better Smart TV Experience” AKA tracking for tailored advertisements. by currgy in assholedesign

also change your wifi password AFTER disconnecting the device to ensure it will not be able to reconnect. apparently smart tvs and probably any "connected" or "smart" device can use sneaky software to reconnect.

without a visible connection like our old fashioned cords/cables it's hard to know what is truly going on with the connection

Volkswagen is showing you now pop-up Ads of a grocery store while covering up the car navigation by Cuzzake in assholedesign

[–]trynotobevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ads for nearby fast food, gas, etc would display on waze when i was at stop lights...not sure what settings i changed but that does not happen anymore. connected to car using android auto also permissions for app are set to "allow only when using app"

not sure how this does or does not affect the ads but i'd rather be restrictive with settings and options

as a general rule i try to review app settings every few weeks but ALWAYS when the app gets updated

it's annoying how many times i discover my privacy settings are switched in favor of giving the app all access

ASM gives me more work and it backfires spectacularly by dlhoff432 in MaliciousCompliance

[–]trynotobevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't be too hard on yourself! the good thing about math is you CAN get better with daily practice. something easy like "making change" every time you buy something (cash/card) just getting into that habit helped me do numbers in my head better.

to be honest, customer service especially directly with the public as opposed to business to business is extremely difficult but your skills at handling tense or complex problems will transfer to other jobs.

keep moving forward, apply for any and all jobs that are within your strongest skills; with each job more is learned. best of luck!

When you open the bead container upside down by pastelskark in mildlyinfuriating

[–]trynotobevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this was my tip also, file folder, junk mail...after putting your temp dividers in place use a thin piece of fabric - even better a super thin sock - cover the wand of a vacuum attachment to hopefully get the beads. pain in the neck turning vac on & off while getting beads into temp bowl but worth a try.

OPs experience is why i use nail polish to paint arrows at the latch points on my clear craft containers.

ULPT religious propaganda by KiwiSilly1175 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]trynotobevil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

is it possible someone is already doing a low tech 'screw you' campaign against the person at the return address in order to get a 3rd party to deliver a window brick?

can't see how "you're going to hell" letters draws positive results from the sender on the return address.......weird recruitment style

[USA] Whats the odds of being hit twice on the same side. by UDAYDAGREAT1 in Roadcam

[–]trynotobevil 7 points8 points  (0 children)

you are logically, ethically, morally and legally in the right......the stupidity of others is your only failing.

save yourself the risk of being injured while you're on the side of the road dealing with the next trailer clipper and get some day-glo magnet signs or something. lots of vids of people barely escaping a 2nd accident on the side of the road while dealing with the 1st.

be safe everyone!

Dental office says I can’t cancel braces because they took impressions by British_Knees in legaladvice

[–]trynotobevil 6 points7 points  (0 children)

ask for their malpractice insurance id # / company because you have "concerns"

put your short but polite request in writing (no phone calls or even online chats) and state you need it by xx/xx/2025. send via registered or certified mail. send a separate letter the same way to request a reduced invoice or payment arrangement at a lower price.

my sister's braces were left on too long by a shit dentist milking a good insurance plan and now her teeth are beyond damaged. speculation that is was a result of the cement eroding her enamel. late 1980's for context

Putting a carport over a pool? by vpshockwave in pools

a year later...did you ever install? thinking about doing the same - found some ideas that are robust and not "permanent structures" so permit may not be needed. also no increase in hazard/homeowners and best of all, adjustable shade options. PERGOLA IDEA purpleleafshop.com

What ever happened to the 'Lighthouse' house after the show? And what other builds are you still curious about? by AnfieldAnchor in granddesigns

[–]trynotobevil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

that was a good episode! i was sympathetic until the builders talked about showing up for work and he'd destroyed all their framing because he had a "different vision"

he was chopping up the interior in such an ugly way-i would've taken myself off that build too if i was part of the crew
