Why don't the TV companies and streaming services just do what they want to actually do and have the channels just show ads all the time, who needs programmes etc when they can show ads 24hrs a day on every channel, this was they can make a fast buck and squeeze what they can from the advertisers whilst their TV channels and streaming services slow dwindle to the poor suckers who can't be bothered to cancel their subs.

It's nearly like this now UK TV with 7 to 8 minutes of ads every 5 mins of actual programmes. The old 1 hour TV show is now about 23 mins long..

Last year a friend got a 65inch TV from amazon and when opened up the box there was a scratch, albeit a very small scratch on the back. He complained to Amazon to get it returned and they just sent his a new TV to replace and did not have to return the other one as it was not worth it

I agree

Some reviews give 5 stars and the person then states "I have not used it yet". Reviews like this should be deleted by the AI as they are just useless. Just the same as reviews where the person gives 1 star and then states "The item was stolen from my porch" which again is a useless review.

Just like louis rossmann who complained about the junk electrical crimps he bought and yet these same useless crimps are still appearing at the top of the listings with many dumb folk giving out 5 star reviews just because the item got delivered.

Agree, would be so much easier especially if it's a long passphrase.

Another thing which is happening is that thieves are beginning to target phones which are in use (ie currently unlocked), they steal the phone from the user and make their getaway on the back of a motorbike/moped while keep touching the screen to prevent the phone from locking, once at a safe distance they then set about draining the accounts etc and keeping the phone from locking. Had this happen to a work colleague a few weeks back, so we need away to lock the screen even while the phone is in use maybe by continuous face recognition though.
