ehPReth commented on How Gen Z became so nihilistic about money   bbc.com/worklife/article/... · Posted by u/akpa1

> My younger sister, Sophie, isn't worried about retirement – but she's not exactly optimistic about it, either. "We've got climate change, war – it's like, are we even going to be here to retire?"

I see this belief in a lot of younger co-workers. Newsflash: You're highly likely to outlive your ability to work. If your plan is to die the day after you retire, that may happen, but in all likelihood you won't, and not having savings is going to end up unpleasantly for you. Save for retirement, people!

I have literally no extra money to save. Everything I have is maxed out or near maxed out.

my retirement plan is an overdose.

At least on Amazon and eBay, I'll buy from the user whose name matches the brand.

Of course if it's "brand"-usa or something iterative you should check.

When this happened to me 13 years ago it was kind of different. Amazon didn't offer returns on memory products and the vendor display name was a non unique settable string, different from their URL stub corresponding to their username.

Amazon gave me their condolences after I forwarded them the conversation from Kingston's warranty department exposing the fraud but not my money back.

They've gotten better on all these fronts.

Additionally they used to be flooded with lookalike frauds in memory up until a few years ago. You'd have the mysterious Sannsung or SamDisk products. They've cracked down on that too.

And lastly there are other major etailers that don't do this third party retail stuff

ehPReth · a year ago
I have exactly one IRL friend that cares about my technology stuff, but he lives far away and we don't see each other in person too often. My ex tolerates me talking about it a little bit before he tells me to shut up, but that's it. It kind of sucks. I've just re-internalized to that nothing I do really matters, and therefore neither do I.

it's so sad this multi-trillion dollar company can't spare some resources to serve a some 301s.

I've been trialling application allowlisting, but wow is it ever frustrating. So much stuff isn't signed, and when it is the accompanying DLLs aren't. or the signature is invalid. or some of Windows' own executables/dlls aren't signed (why?? you make applocker??) or the installer is, but none of the actual resultant end files

Is it just me?
