Game: Racing Master, the LATAM version. Ah and the rest of the missions only get you 25 points short of the kit and outfit, you need to buy both passes.

Google Play shows me this once a month.

You can only make it go away by closing and reopening the play store.

Joke's on them, I ate them all and now my tummy hurts

Misleading pricing:

Using the billing period as the header and showing the price for the billing period... except for monthly—which shows 1/4 the price and says "every week" in smaller, gray text.

Punishing non-subscription payments:

Adding a $6.50 (1400%) surcharge for wanting a weekly one-time payment instead of a recurring subscription.

Charging more for longer periods:

Monthly billing, once you remove the dark pattern and convert it to its actual price, is $2. There are 12 months in a year, meaning it would cost $24 to maintain that subscription for a year.

Why is the yearly subscription $29, then?

If you want to verify this for yourself, you're going to need to clear your cookies and reload an article a lot. They do A/B tests and show different subscription requied modals. This one was the worst.

I'm getting this error that says Error. I can't tell if I fat-fingered the community name in the URL, or it got removed, or it doesn't exist in the first place, or maybe there's a legitimate issue with the software, but I hope it's useful!

I need to clarify because some people apparently never encountered the error page: it used to show the actual error. It was later changed to not do that.

(apologies for the atrocious aspect ratio)

The cover for the airbox on this Honda generator hinges open to the left, but the frame rail is directly in front. The airbox is also bolted to the engine from inside (behind the filter).

I've throughly looked over this and there is no way to open that airbox unless you unbolt the engine from the frame, or perhaps modify the lid hinges with a saw so it doesn't have to swing as far to come off.

This is the swivel mechanism for the high pressure air at the center of my Campbell Hausfeld automatic retracting air hose reel. That hose is crimped directly on the swivel mechanism instead of adding negligible cost with a threaded fitting.

The upshot is that the hose is not replaceable by itself if damaged. And of course parts are not readily available. Throw out the whole thing instead and buy something new. Assholes.

I've started seeing more shit like this, even TVs in exam rooms with ads like this.

In order to add this to the cart, the user must first view their in-house financing advertising. Switching to desktop mode shows an "Add to Cart" button, but focus stealing scripts cause the page to skip around to the point where the page becomes useless.

Of course it looks like shit though. It doesn't size to your screen, it looks like normal teams but really small.

Outlook works in the browser fine, and maybe I don't want to have teams on my personal phone but occasionally want to check things

This is sneaky, but everyone seems to be doing it these days.

They in big letters advertise €1.53 per month, but on checkout you discover they don't offer any monthly payment plans, you can only pay annually, and paying "only" one year upfront the price is 36% higher. For the price you thought you'd be getting you need to pay 3 years upfront.

I just went to charge my kitchen scale and it wouldn’t work until I dug out a USB-A -> C cable and plugged it into my desktop…

It just reminded me of how many devices like that I have. This scale, my wife’s sound torc, some car jumperstarters, and I think a one or two more…

I assume it’s because they just slap a usbc port on a dumb 5v circuit that doesn’t have a power negotiation controller. So the cable and the charger cant figure out the power needs of the device are and just never send any.

edit: funny thing is, I was already subscribed to the newsletter, it's how I got here in the first place. Unsubscribed now though.

Eventbrite sends email verifying it’s me, puts the link for “Not you, let us know” almost overlapping with verify link.

If you manage to actually select the verify link, of course, the servers are conveniently down. Not to mention all of the irrelevant and invasive data pilfering questions they ask such as: what is your age, gender, highest level of education. Totally necessary to attend a concert, right? Fuck you, EventShite!!

If you click disagree, the site just doesn’t work at all. Instead, gadgethacks.com shows you this.

You know, normal sites make you accept the bare minimum that is required for the site to function, and give you an option to accept or reject all the tracking cancer and advertising plague.
