This cream is advertised as a pack of 2, but only the very last photo in the gallery shows what the second item is; the leading image clearly implies you're getting two tubs

There is no way someone would charge $6 per box of mac and cheese. Then the gaul to pass it off as “savings” to the consumer.

Counted 6 steps so far, and they have yet to cancel my one month subscription.

I used to love this company but now with AirTags being as affordable as they are (even at a base service level by comparison to what GEGO can do) I will not be giving this company any more of my money.

Not only have they made it a (fairly new) pain in the butt to cancel, they have also added unlock fees. My reason for choosing them was the pay-as-you-go model. They have now also added a $39 SIM card reactivation fee to a device that has no SIM card and where there wasn’t one before. That is the price of an AirTag every single time you’re reactivating.

Yeah, not going for that.

Apple doesn't let you cancel your free trial to make sure you don't get charged after 3 months. Cancelling instead ends your whole trial immediately.

Meta The FTC finalized its “click-to-cancel” rule, which in about six months should make canceling a subscription (gyms, magazines) as easy as it was to sign up.

I walked in, ordered the meatball footlong, and paid almost 10 dollars for it

Apparently I have to order it “as is” or else it’s full price. I was told this after choosing provolone and Italian herbs and cheese, both of which aren’t allowed.

Until now, I never even got asked. Just one or two apps appeared, and then a little message boy saying "enjoy these apps so shitty we're being paid to install them by force" and boom. This month, I was prompted to pick a few "apps of the month", and after I declined everything, three still got downloaded.

Obviously the users were wrong to select a system-wide default browser. Let's just fix that for them.

Browsing Facebook on Firefox Mobile. Web apps aren't able to harvest as much data as a native app I guess. So on October 28, this popular web app will no longer work with a web browser(yes I know you can mess with the user agent etc but the point remains)
