As per someone else's comment, everyone can have a bad day. I try not to judge people I don't know (unless there are repeat stories, then it's hard not to).
I eventually took pity and signed up. Kidding, I signed up because it's a very simple, no fuss, useful service, and I'm getting a lot of use out of it, so thanks.
I kept on wondering why I hadn't seen any of this, and then remembered that I'd installed Classic Shell start menu, which provides a Windows 7 style menu. It doesn't disable the Windows 10 menu, just hides it. Makes for a much more pleasant experience though. (No affiliation)
Stolen goods can be confiscated by police without any compensation for the pawn shop. Therefore it is in their interest to know where the customer got the item from, unless the shop is acting as a fence, as in this case.
Actually they're getting much better. I bought some off-brand Lego from aliexpress a couple of years ago, and apart from the lack of branding I can't tell the difference, even after two years of use.
I'm mainly a dinosaur for wanting audio jacks as i still use my old Sennheiser headphones that I bought in 2006, and still work perfectly. I did switch to Bluetooth headphones for a while but they fell apart after 12 months.
I feel like prices haven't moved in line with inflation, it's just planned obsolescence has moved further up the price range.
That said, I'm aware that I could buy a second hand iPhone with an audio jack if I really wanted.
My favorite part is at 19:35, where Turturro assures us that credit card details are safe to use because "It's private. I've done it before and it's not a problem."
