My point was to explain this is exactly how normal auctions work. Same in person too, you shout out a bid slightly higher than the last, never revealing how high you were actually willing to go. Ebays motivations weren't the point.

Ebay doesn't charge you the highest amount you put in that you are willing to bid. It automatically buds what ever gets you the winning price (I.e just over what second place max is). This sounds like it's working the same way, then they decided to boost the second place to get more of the mm winning bidders top limit.

Yeah, I was well aware. The part I didnt realise is that apparently I had only ever installed OEM versions of Windows 95

Everyday is a school day, even if its nearly 30 years late. Had no idea that the key I had memorised back in the day was an OEM key (although not thought about it in a very long time). My mistake!

Except that was the key format used for office, publisher, visual studio etc and not what windows 95 used (XXXXX-OEM-XXXXXXX-XXXXX)

600,000 online right this second. 3x more than Hogwarts legacy that came out a few weeks ago.

For what its worth, I dont use carplay/android auto either. In fact only 1 person I know does.

I think the thought is - increase electricity prices still mean you can get to work, the shop, family etc. It just costs you more. With the fuel "issue", if you cant get any, you aren't going anywhere.

So this works well, presuming there's no electricity supply issues

Good job this was done before September 23rd!

Because they are saying that's not what happened (in their opinion - it certain sounds like that's what happened from the summary)....

They clearly aren't saying "We accept we are racist, but we just don't want to pay" (even if its true or not). They are saying "we don't agree that the issue was caused by race, we would never be racist and are disappointed the ruling said we are ".

*yawn*

Which leaked on the board, that then damages traces, which doesnt conduct between components, therefore PCB failing to operate.

Not sure why you are trying to be a pedant, but one thing can cause another to fail. The cause of the PCB failure doesnt really matter, once its dead, it needs replacing - no matter the "cause".

You think you are being funny, but you clearly dont know much about the amiga. The PCB is the most common part to die in many models of amiga, the battery leaks and destroys the board.

Feel that may have backfired for you a little.
