Yeah I'm calling bullshit on this one. He had no idea what it did and just left the charge running every month? You have to sign up for instantInk, it doesn't just magically appear when you plug in your HP printer. Did he think new ink cartridges just appeared randomly every time his ink got low? You also get told that you can't use your ink instantInk cartridge anymore when you cancel the service. Not defending HP, they are a terrible company and ink prices are absurd, but he's just a dumbass who didn't read what he signed up for and is now mad that he couldn't game the system.

ZeusCannon posted:poo poo like that is why everytime i see cloud enabled on some DIY tool or some poo poo instead of local software i write that fucker off PainterofCrap posted:Apparently there are other olds out there still clinging to these cute l'il bricks. On Reddit, some clever monkey crafted a work-around involving creating a fake IP address on my laptop using Abyss, and redirecting the Zune software there so it can complete the update callback request. It was a PITA to set up correctly, but it works like a charm On the other hand, I do take solace that no matter what type of DRM or cloud integration is out there, someone will have worked out how to crack/bypass it.

Or it's like Audible where you have to click through enough screens that obfuscate the "yes I absolutely definitely want to confirm I'm cancelling" button that I've accidentally left my account active at least twice now. e:not to discount the fact that I am also extremely dumb Captain Hygiene fucked around with this message at 17:10 on Jan 29, 2020 |

Planet Fitness is even worse. Your only two options for canceling your membership are to send a letter (a physical, mailed letter) or show up in person. There's absolutely nothing about the process that can't be done on a computer and it only takes a minute or two, but it feels like they're intentionally making it as uncomfortable as possible to discourage you.

Yeah, although their audiobook software probably dates from back then. Still, they're actually a good service and reasonably priced for picking up an occasional book if you manage to avoid accidentally leaving your account active.

LifeSunDeath posted:Oh that must be newer, early audible you could only call them to cancel, I chewed out that call center person. Microsoft used to do that with Xbox Live in Canada. They used the same website as the US version and Xbox interface but if you followed a guide to where the cancel sub button would be it just would be missing on the Canadian version. Now they just did a promo where they had sub for $1 for Xbox Game Pass Beta (PC Only) and a couple months in did a sub for $1 Game Pass Ultimate (PC + Xbox) for 3 Months. Now that the 3 months is up you can't sub back down to the PC only. chitoryu12 posted:Planet Fitness is even worse.

Fried Watermelon posted:The gym near my house requires you to write a letter AND give them 2 weeks notice. 2 weeks notice not to turn up somewhere? Wow. Does the US have direct debits and such? If ever I want to cancel a subscription I just cancel the debit they're taking out of my account. gently caress 'em. I think my last gym required some paperwork, it was easier to just cancel the debit on my phone instantly.

I somehow managed to sign up without leaving any sort of billing info on file, so when I stopped going...that was that. When Microsoft wouldn't let my Xbox Live account die, I assigned the autopay to a credit card that was about to expire and then ignored all of their emails about needing to update it

You have to sign up for instantInk, it doesn't just magically appear when you plug in your HP printer. Internet is tenuous right now so I can't do a whole lot of research, but there is definitely a thing called instant ink from HP and I could definitely see them slipping a subscription to it into paperwork to buy the printer or however printers are sold chitoryu12 posted:Planet Fitness is even worse.

I had a similar thing at a different fitness place where they were only manned during the week, and only for the hours I was already at work, so when I noticed I was still being billed after I had checked the box for 'do not renew' they still wanted me to come in or send physical mail to cancel before they were even willing to check my paperwork to see whether I had ticked that box.
