If I am understanding right, when you say “can’t be bothered”, you mean “can’t be compelled/forced”?
Seems pretty reasonable, albeit slightly reliant on honesty. At least for scammers, they aren’t likely to want it back, as that would deanonymise them, so if its definitely a scam, your pretty safe to keep it.
Thanks for the info :)
Do you know of any countries that have different laws? I’m curious as to how it would work?
The items could also have been purchased with a stolen credit cards.
I had a variation of on of these scams happen to me.
I purchased a pair of headphones on eBay - $50 The box that arrived, was shipped directly from Officeworks, with an invoice for $70, and a business account setup in my name, and a strange credit card. Reported it to officeworks, got to keep the headphones, but likely someone got a $70 charge on their card, and the eBay seller probably got my $50 for free.
That makes even more sense, they probably dont stand out in the crowded market place, but for a few dollars in shipping and lost product, they can get a glowing review to push them up.
Its important to realise that while the item might list for $$$$$, it probably only costs $ to manufacture.
It may be a fake item, but also remember that the cost to make jewelry is usually far less than what they are sold for, so it probably wasn’t hundreds of dollars.
I’ll update when I find the video, but there was a woman who gave a blackhat defcon talk about it, and she got a coffee machine, so its not without precedence to spend hundreds.

This is probably a scam:
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Windows, is in fact, NT/Windows, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, NT plus Windows.
I’m not gonna write more, but maybe thats what the author had in mind :D.
100% agree with you, from the headline alone I also assumed it a worthless opinion piece.
Alphonso is listening for TV sound signatures, which while definitely intrusive and privacy invading, is not the same as 24/7 listening for voice-to-text-to-ad purposes.
They would only need to listen for a second or so to determine what channel you are on, instead of all the time, so there is a massive difference in scope.
They are effectively shazaming your TV.
Still creepy and invasive, but not 24/7 recording invasive.
The myaddress+shop@gmail.com should be trivial to defeat by a spammer. Its a very simple string remove/replace to get back to a stock email address, or change it to impersonate another service, eg. myaddress+netflix@gmail.com.
It’s only useful for the actual service, after that, you can’t rely on it.
“I’d like to offer you a job, we’re like a family here”
Family might have a fairly clear definition, but the word does get abused, and it is eating away at its meaning.
Is this not just vscode? Its definitely not eclipse, although from memory that could be served as a webapp through some fancy java to html thing.

Wonder whose responsible for the policies that created that? :D
So, rush to establish a deal, only for it to be yanked out when he gets upset on twitter? Why bother…

One way or another, the server that hosts a resource can track who is requesting what. You as the server owner can just as easily track who is accessing what, but if you avoid using a CDN, then it limits the tracker to just yourself. The cost is that you’ll have increased traffic, and there is always the suspicion that you may have tampered with the lightbox.js file to do something malicious.
On the self include side, the instructions you linked seem pretty straightforward, so it should be possible to use it that way. What is issue your facing?
In time only solved ageing, everyone was still mortal, so you could still die from a car crash or being shot. And there definitely was a tiered classes system in place, with the rich having more “life”, and the poor literally living paycheck to paycheck.
I really liked it, should watch it again.
Are you referring to “In Time”, or some other film? The Man From Earth is another interesting film about a singular immortal man.
There is heaps to unpack, it really is a complete game changer.
The other issue, is what about other animals. If they end up immortal as well, we’d be litterally drowning in any animals that breed rapidly, like rats, rabbits etc.
I was gonna make a joke about ending the abortion debate, but then I went down a rabbit hole:
Abortions procedures would still be a thing, but the fetus wouldnt die. Its just an extremely premature birth. That means that intentional pregnancies could be “harvested” early, for the fetus to grow up outside the mothers body.
Lots to unpack.
Seriously (or at least as serious as a hypothetical invinciblity/immortality scenario can be :D): food water and housing. You can live without most other things, but being cold, wet, starving and dehydrated will really make the eternity drag on :)

I’m sure I’ve seen them in specialty fruit and veg stores, but I am struggling to find them as well.
Found these: https://marketplacefresh.com.au/vegetables/potatoes-pumpkins/sweet-potato-white-medium but its the opposite colour scheme :(
