I think it's a combination of IP address as well as app fingerprint when you login to multiple accounts within their app - they can see each account coming from the exact same app/device. I personally believe this was a HUGE part of killing off third party apps so they could collect a lot more data directly about you in their own app.

And IP factors in too. I was in hospital WiFi for a few days when my kid was born and got a random message on all of my accounts that I was banned for 7 days for "ban evasion". Never been banned before and had only posted on some parent subs during that time.

I think the IP address probably had bans associated with it given it was such a huge public network and was next door to a high school that used the hospital food court a lot too, and thus the WiFi also.

I wonder if it's region specific, I'm on Basic in Canada and it's $9.99 and I believe limited to 720p. This was my compromise to switch to with my wife to not cancel during the the last price hike, but she's just agreed we're done when this plan goes away. We've invested in a boat and will sail the high seas even more.

It is a full fledged customer support system too, not something it's forced to do. That's the entire service cloud offering.

The sad thing is that I bet all the competitors have a room full of suits and ties who are hoping this works out for HP so they too can do it. I can almost guarantee this will turn into a "follow the leader" game.

Part of my employers year end message was that they're giving us even more time off starting next year so we can disconnect more! Sure glad I got a good one compared to this tool. (we all get 5 weeks now)

I had one of those engines. 6 month wait for a rebuilt one where I couldn't drive my car. Got the new engine, and the same problem developed a mere WEEK later. I basically had to walk from a freshly paid off car and get another car loan :( they have decades of proving themselves to do before I'd ever even consider buying one again. I fell for the "but their quality has really improved" BS once now.

I recently switched cell providers to save a pile of money, but the new one doesn't have call control like the old did. 100% of my calls over the last two weeks were spam calls. I keep telling myself the savings are worth it, but my God it's annoying.

Yep. Just like everyone that was going to leave Netflix when they axed account sharing, but then just made their own accounts and went on with life. I'd see a similar thing playing out here for all but the more technical users who may start switching.

Even when I do tip, and tip well, they now add so many other stops in between my food and my house that it still arrives cold anyway. I've largely stopped using them now too. They were convenient during peak pandemic and our newborn phase at home, but running out to grab take out really isn't the end of the world again now.

Former 2012 Forte owner here - first engine made it to 90k, second one was knocking already about 2k in. Basically walked from a freshly paid off vehicle and bought a Toyota.

Huge industries emerging in this field right now for everything from this type of social media moderation to helping fight CSAM more effectively so humans aren't having to be a frontline for that type of material. This is one area I can really, really get behind AI on and see a very valid use case that isn't just marketing hype like so many others. I know there's some great stuff happening just based on my own field of employment and being close to a few things in the works this year.

I downgraded from the top tier to that grandfathered one when they announced it was going away. Not holding my breath it'll be immune to price hikes for long. We haven't watched anything on there in months and will definitely cancel if they hike it.
