US sues Adobe for ‘deceiving’ subscriptions that are too hard to cancel | The Justice Department alleges that Adobe hid early cancellation fees and trapped consumers in pricey subscriptions
  • I decided to try out the new version about a year ago. I had a monthly charge of about $26 I think it was. After about 3-4 months and not really using it, I cancelled a few days before it would renew for another month. $50 early cancellation fee? Wtf do you need to cancel a few mins before or it's early cancellation? Adobe fucking sucks ass.

  • No jail time for Hamilton police officer who sexually assaulted woman he was mentoring, judge rules
  • Unfortunately this is consistent with other sexual assault sentences here. From what I've seen anyway. Purely anecdotal. Raped and ruined your own children and complicated their lives for all time? 8 months for you. And out for good behaviour in 4. Justice served /s

  • text don't call
  • Mostly because it's for business. There are a mix of customers, some want it one way some want it another. We don't normally use text. So if your equipment is done and you don't listen to your voice mail. Please don't complain you weren't contacted. Hypothetically. Not saying it's you. But I do get these complaints.

  • AI spam is already starting to ruin the internet
  • I've switched to perplexity.ai. yes it's AI, but it gives me the answer I was looking for in a short snippet of information. I can then go scour the sources if I want too. It's completely replaced Google for me.

  • Have you ever seen coal burn? If yes, why?
  • Yes. On a camping trip. At one end of the lake is the remains of an old WWII POW camp. There were at the time some small piles of coal. We took a couple of pieces and burned it in a camp fire. Only because I had never seen coal burn before.

  • Windows Updated and is Pushing More Stuff
  • Sorry, missed your reply. I run the setup for Windows on a lot of computers. Last time I tried that command it wasn't working. I used to be able to start the setup and once you got to the point of needing to sign in to a Microsoft account you could skip it. They removed that. Then this command you are talking about worked for a bit. Then removing the ethernet cable worked for a while, Microsoft closed that too. Currently I connect the machines to a network and attempt to log into an account, but mistype the password. This will give an error and allow a local account. Unfortunately these are machines for sale, so I can't use a Microsoft account like they want. It's a whole "thing". However, if it's your own machine, use Rufus to create a boot disk that will bypass the Microsoft account requirement.

    Why would they block it? Because they want everyone to use a Microsoft account, and they have been getting more and more aggressive about it.

    Edit: forgot to mention again, OP's post image is from an update message and not initial Win 11 install. The command to skip the sign on is for OOBE, "out of box experience". Aka initial setup.

  • Some posts not showing up when logged in to my instance

    When I sub to a community, I don't see all the posts if I'm logged in to my instance. If I go directly to url of the community I can see all the posts.

    Is this a federation thing? Is it a setting? for example going to https://lemmy.world/c/askscience I can see everything. But when I sub to it and go there, I only see 2 posts and no matter what setting I choose it's always just those 2 posts. The site says there are 19 posts, and I can see them from the url. Help?
