My body is ready. My body is willing.

It’s in your blood.

We didn’t need Bill Gates to tell us this.

This is a link to my original comment on the subject. I did not say what you think I said in the comment you replied to or the original comment I linked. Her ignorance doesn’t absolve her of her actions or the consequences. Intent does matter to some extent but there have also been a lot of news reports about how data you share with corporate LLM’S isn’t private and so then the question becomes should she have known and not just if she did or didn’t know.

If someone else steals something and sells it to you or gifts it to you and you had no knowledge that it was stolen you can still be prosecuted under the law for receiving stolen goods. Your intent in the matter should be considered because there is a difference between knowingly receiving something you know is stolen and not reporting it, and just getting something without knowing it’s legal provenance and not reporting it. But you can still be charged either way.

In this case though an attempt was made to notify the user that her chats were not private in a EULA or TOS. They changed that TOS relatively recently (something like a year ago I think). At that time it looks like users would have been required to agree to an updated TOS with specific verbage about the sharing of chats that doesn’t look like it would have required users to read the entire TOS, just the agree popup. I linked the article for that below because while that was for allowing AI to train on user data, it should have been a clue that the chats were not private.

She did transmit such a threat though. Which is against the law quoted in the article.

The article very much states that it is in fact illegal to write down a threat under Florida law.

I think this is a combination of the law being poorly written and the woman in question making a significantly questionable decision. Her actions have consequences (even if I think that law is problematic at best). There’s no reason for her to have had an expectation that Claude chats would be private (we’ve had repeated news reports that prove otherwise).

Yeah, I’d wager that is what the case will hinge on. She wasn’t aware anyone could view it. Otherwise it’s incredibly unlikely that she would have made such a statement to Claude at all.

On the other hand though, I’m sure Claude’s parent company and the prosecution will argue that she didn’t have an expectation of privacy where this statement is concerned (given TOS/EULA, in combination with the number of news articles/reports on the subject).

Annoying and potentially expensive. The thing about region locks is, sometimes games were market specific. So the game only had one or two region variants available at all. As a result, you’d have to buy a region specific system to play them. I also seem to recall the possibility of bricking a system or disk/cartridge when putting it in the wrong region system so there’s that. From a collection standpoint, if you only wanted to buy the systems and games and not play them, it was probably expensive but fine. Import fees and scarcity of special edition consoles may possibly have been extra pain points in the event that you had to have that region specific variant of a game or console.

Also 14 days? I don’t know of any refund policy is that short.

So, for the 14 day refund window, both Epic game store and Sony game store only offer 14 day refunds. It looks like Microsoft/Xbox is the same as their software refund policy for their other platforms and that 30 days. GOG’s policy is 30 days.

Itch.io (by far the samllest of these game shops) has a 7 day return window from what I could find.

Probably, most retailers will write it off and move on just so you leave them alone

This is exactly why most retailers don’t do this and why the window exists in the first place. People take advantage of that window and any other favorable terms to the point where we end up where we are now. Your statement also suggests to me that you know what you’re asking might not be reasonable but you’ve decided to be angry about it instead of accepting that your actions lead to this outcome.

But then, here’s another question. Did you ask the developer for a refund? Because if it were important enough to me to be irritated about I’d exhaust all avenues before giving up.

You claim you had to Google how to get a refund. Your email receipt has a hyperlink directly in the text to take you to their refund page making it one of the easiest ways to get a refund in all honesty.

Steam even say they will consider a refund outside the refund window if you contact them (which is probably why other people are asking for more information or if you’ve left anything out). You even admit in another comment that you should have requested a refund at a specific earlier time, which suggests that you had the opportunity and did not.

All of this to say, no retailer is your friend, and every retailer will have tradeoffs. Basing your entire purchasing decision on an irritation that’s at least partially your fault is interesting. Here’s hoping GOG gets your business instead I guess.

I have a singular question.

Would your actions (asking for a refund after the window had closed) have resulted in the same outcome at any other retailer?

And now all I can think of is a career hitman standing next to their most recent mark holding up a peace sign.

Is there a cap?

Where did you get this idea? EV’s go through brakes and tires faster than their ICE equivalents because of the extra vehicle weight.

Probably for the best.

And the necklace. And the ring.

Sony already had that happen once. A dog mangled its owners controller and racked up a whole $8 in charges. Possibly more but that’s all I could find in the article.

On the plus side now your kid won’t have to beg you for VBucks or whatever. /s

I hope so, but at the same time, his base is full of people who’ve been voting along the party line their whole lives.

I was not talking to you.

Border Agents are ICE.

Florida is a Border State. ICE do raids at other places including just randomly on the street because of the high population of Latinos and people from South America.

I don’t think you understand that what’s happening is they roll up on people in a van, grab them and don’t announce who or what they are. There’s video all over the Internet of this.
