"If your phone is 10 years old, let it die."
Man I wish I could but that nokia is now threatening my life.
Careful.... That Nokia will mess you up. It will end you and just keep on keeping on....
This prolly shows my age but that was the first cell phone I ever had. Black/White/Grey screen, playing snake with just the numbers, text with numbers insted of a full keyboard, interchangeable faceplate/keys/antenna, etc..... Anyone else rememver the light up antenna on those things?
@@RLPelly Your first cell phone could text and play games? Your not that old. My first one could make phone calls and that was it.
Meanwhile I have a Galaxy S2 lying around that I installed Android 10 (Lineage) on. The novelty!
Some of these seem seriously illegal. The gym fitness center one needing you to go in person for no reason seems mighty illegal and I would just tell the bank to block payments to them and make them take me to court for that nonsense. The idea a court would uphold such a silly thing even if it's in a contract is laughable.
I lost so much money because I was no longer able to travel down there and cancel it. Then when I finally did, they continued charging me and refused to refund me unless I visited them in person AGAIN
I *HATE* when the 'stickers' aren't stickers. As a person who likes to stare mindlessly at book covers, seeing one of those stupid things makes me want to STAB SOMEONE. Just.. just let me take it off.

Simpler solution to the 5 protein/candy bars in a box with out it being an akward shape. Turn them sidewise and stand them up, you have 5 bars in a row of whatever in one neat little box
@Joey 11:30
I bet they original sold them in a box of 6, and then decided to 'respond to feedback and make it more work-week friendly' and cut it down to 5...at the same price.
“But the plans were on display…”
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”

I love hitchhiker's guide so damn much bc of things like this
All the posts about McAfee is more frustrating when your mother insists on using McAfee’s internet security on all of her devices because “it checks everything”.
My father insists McAfee on MY devices.
oh yeah and my sister also has McAfee pre-installed on her lenovo laptop
(she didn't even download it herself)
@@twerq Bloatware at its finest.
I wouldn't mind if it wouldn't slow my computer down to a crawl every time it does a scan, with no warning. Things just.... stop responding or do it 2 frames at a time. Which doesn't help when I'm in the middle of doing something, which is like.... ALL THE TIME I HAVE THE COMPUTER ON.
McAfee is a ****ing virus and no one will change my mind
FYI: Lazada is a well known southeast asian ordering site, just like Amazon. Their shipping fees are weird as they are based on the states, not even by standardising them. Which actually angers some.
Edit: Oh and Shopee too.
@ThinkGamer i live in indonesia and i always get those ads, i fucking despise them
South east asian here
1. Their ads are everywhere
2. I don't much shopping but apparently yes they calculate the deluvery fees with some weird stuff

Man those "Sorry to see you go" ads are a pain in the ass. I still get them despite unsubscribing dozens of times!
According to EU Law you could sue them. Or get someone from the EU to sue them.
I hate McAfee. They don’t have any option to cancel their emails warning you that your subscription is almost over. They claim it’s important updates, but it’s clearly marketing. I have never even bought a subscription to them.
not only that, removing it from your system is hell.
It often doesn't even have an uninstaller, or it gets magically corrupted.
There's also a ton of leftover registry keys that have to be removed manually.
The fact that towards the end of his life, *_John McAfee himself_* made instruction videos on how to completely and successfully uninstall McAfee Anti-Virus is enough to tell us how far from its noble origins McAfee Antivirus has strayed.
@@alexgade4512 McAfee can be uninstalled via the McAfee Product Removal Tool found on their website. Tricky to find, but it's there and from my experience worked pretty well in removing McAfee from my computer.
Dunno about registry items, though.
Whenever Lexi gets frustrated her voice drops like 1000000000000 decibels
Decibels are volume...
That's volume, not pitch, my dude.
If Lexi's voice dropped to undetectable levels when she was angry, that would certainly be interesting.
hearing lexi’s voice makes me so happy, she’s so cool

Canon is currently facing a class action lawsuit, just so you know. The issue is that their multifunction printers (Scanner/Fax/Print) won't let you use the scanner if ink needs to be replaced.
That's right, Canon won't let you use the scanner if the printer is out of ink
How does that work exactly? I don't see the logic of how you can't use the scanner without any ink.
@@ZerryBerrytheSpaceRaccoon the business logic is "Frick you, pay us" and then it's just implemented via the printer's firmware. That's why it's a class action, there is no technical nor logical reason for this restriction, it's a pure greed-based cash grab
Alright, good to know what brand I should never buy. To be fair, though, I shouldn't be surprised that a company, who has a division that literally forbids you entering certain rooms unless you're smiling, is engaging in scummy practices with their products...yes, really. >.>
Wow. I wish I could hear a recording of the meeting where someone from Canon first proposed that idea, and then how others responded to it. Seriously trying to screw over customers. Money as a motivator encourages the worst to come out of people.
Oh GOD! Canceling with Retro Fittness! I had to do the same thing with the two other fittness places I was a member with as well. No phone calls, no emails, no snail mail, it had to be a physical letter that you yourself hand deliver to the club in person, just so they could try and convince you to stay.
Ooooor they berate the ever loving heff out of you for even THINKING of leaving their little clique of Karens (I’m GLARING at you, CURVES!).
From now on before I sign up for anything, I'm asking how to cancel.
4:27 "The Bezos package forest" LOL
Amazon no longer exist in my brain. For now on they are The Bezos Package Forest.
Thanks so much for that lol
That makes me envision bezos getting sued by a whole doggone rain forest!
Yaaay Lexi!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again I absolutely love Lexi’s voice and the adorable noises she makes
fr she’s my favorite commentator ngl

6:49 "I buy Canon now"
Canon is just as bad. They have a class action lawsuit for not allowing scanning if the ink is low.

Always love when Lexi hosts for emkay. Just always makes me smile a little bit when she intros the videos with “what’s up sexy, I’m Lexi.” I have pretty bad self image issues surrounding being transgender, so having a fellow trans person compliment me is nice. I know it’s not personalized to me, but it still brightens my day. :)
Hey, just wanted to let you know that no matter what you gender identity is you're probably an amazing person and there is no need to feel down on yourself. Have a great day/night. (Also your pfp is very cool)
Hello, fellow trans person
I absolutely HATE how on car radio ads, companies advertise that they have “available” job positions open that you can make “up to” a certain amount of money. But when you go to apply, that position with that pay rate is unavailable and you only have the option to take something that pays less.
The moment I hear lexi's voice is the moment I know its gonna be a great video. She so adorable and always makes me laugh ❤

hearing lexis voice just bring a giant smile to my face and i bet millions of others 😁
Lexi is my favorite person on Emkay
Here's the thing about about ordering flowers and getting the $20 "service fee". It's not actually a florist, it's a middle man that takes most of the money you are paying to get those flowers and then shorts the local florist that will fulfill the order. That 20.95 is $10 to pay for their staff/the wire service and the $10.95 is a delivery fee. Save yourself the money and pain and disappointment and just find a local florist. Source: worked in a florist for the last 3 years constantly fighting with those sites on their bs
I managed to get McAfee off my computer, as the pop ups were so annoying.
I have never used a personal computer that I didn't do a fresh install of windows first
My school makes us use McAfee on our personal, home-bought computers. Needless to say I’m glad to be graduating in a couple months.
8:44 I play this game and can personally verify that it is not pay to win. That is the Arachnos mech derby, and you do not technically need the arachnos mech. Even if you want it, you can get enough coins without completing all of the tasks. Therefore, you do not have to make an in-game purchase. You're welcome
Exactly! I got Arachnos too, and no money spent. It just is easier to get it if you give money, just what you'd expect when paying money anyway, but the person who does not pay it can still get it, just requires some determination.
@@demont-a-geestope4197 not even determination, you can skip up to 5 tasks and still get arachnos. so yeah.
@@t3rrar1z3r yep that too 🤣
What they are doing is exactly what pay-to-win means. Very rarely does pay-to-win mean literally paying to win the game, as that wouldn't bring in as many customers and wouldn't get people hooked. It means to design a game in such a way that people who pay get a distinct advantage as a paying player rather then a free player. If they are rewarded for paying in ways that allow them to become stronger faster then everyone else, then that gives them a distinct advantage, thus a pay-to-win game.
@@FastForwardPlans hey, i wanted to ask this, not with disrespect, but just as a question out of curiosity, have you played Mech Arena?
Lexi always brightens my day, even when on videos of the most frustrating humanity has to offer. Thank you Lexi for being a beautiful bright point in my day and an inspiration to the local eggs.

First time watching Emkay in a few weeks nd come back to Lexi's beautiful voice...just made my day😊
2:30 as a grad student studying GIS if it turned in a map like this to my professors I don’t think I would get a high grade.
When I hear Lexi's voice, I get happy and feel better. What is it about her that makes this happen? Is she... a rare mystical creature that must be protected at all times?
"What's up Sexy, I'm Lexi"

This one doesn't even make sense. What if you moved to another state? What if you're canceling because it's not actually your membership, but a relative's who has died? Why do you need to speak to the manager when they likely have other things to do? Who thought of this? Where are they? Can I meet them? What kind of poison would kill them?
I may not know the target, but Cyanide is always a good choice for lethal poisons. Arsenic too, Or if you want to get fancy, Lead or Thallium or any other toxic heavy metal.
Just depends how long you have, and how long you want them to have-
*Citcoin does not endorse fatal poisoning, We do however take immense satisfaction from it.*
My local tax allows you to file online and pay by card if you owe anything. However if they owe you anything you have to go in person or mail in your forms to receive a check.

this subreddit makes me FURIOUS
There is only one mobile game I truly appreciate only because in app purchases are completely optional and it doesn’t jam pack ads into every available space
Tell us the name pleasee
Tell us
It’s called Puzzledom and it has a tons of different puzzles with hundreds of levels each
I like Animal Crossing Pocket Camp for this reason as well. It has a premium currency but it’s not necessary at all, plus you can get it through non-paying means
Msm
May have other meanings and also got a pc port but I mean my singing monsters
It does have ads, but not too many, and you don't really need to pay unless you want what
A few more available things
5 stars outta 5 if you ask me
I get less ads on a 150$ phone than someone with a 900$ phone. I feel like I'm getting away with something awesome!
2:03 THIS. This happened to me way too many times. In fact, this one job site doesn't even haven an unsub button!! So i have to mark it spam and delete it, but mail keeps coming every alternate days uuuugh
3:00 "No you're not" lmao
The legend is back
Back when flash was a thing Adobe once gave me the message "We have detected an available update, would you like to download it?" and I clicked yes, because I really wanted to see what bullshit message they would generate once the updater realized the computer wasn't connected to the Internet... I just got some indecipherable error code. A couple of months later the text had changed to something like "It's time to update!"
You know quarantine has got you when you find getting yourself pissed entertain you.
3:19 to calculate 20%, you take 10% and multiply it by 2. 10% of 30 is 3. 3 * 2 = 6. 5 is not 6. they're hoping that you're not good at math so that you won't notice that you're paying an extra dollar.
Oh that makes sense. My dumbass wouldve fallen for that math trick in the video ngl
@@Tea_enthusiast another trick for calculating 20% is, if the number's divisible by 5 (ends in a 0 or a 5), divide it by 5, and you get 20%. using this method we would get the same answer (30 / 5 = 6, therefore 6 = 20% of 30), so both methods work.
I gotta say even though the design in the thumbnail is an absolute a hole design, the person who made it is quite smart
An a hole but still genius, unfortunately
As much as I hate it I have to agree with you.
Gotta agree with that, to be honest. A carefully constructed package to both give reason to the deception as well as give a good reason to not really be able to avoid covering it. I mean, assuming there's info on the box saying its in two portions, what is someone gonna have a problem with legally?
Force them to have a weird gap that looks shit to show off the split?
Force a window that extends the whole way across and looks even weirder?
Such a package could logically only really be covered in a way that conceals that there's two separate parts.
The pâté is self-aware
I'd prefer that design tbh. Half the time I will use half the paté, then when I go back to it there's annoying crusty bits on the rest (no matter how swaddled in cling film, I cannot match vacuum sealing). Two portions that I can open separately would be much more convenient.
Plus, who doesn't slide things out of their cardboard sheaths before buying?
@@SuzanneRush i agree. The first time I opened paté packaged that way, I was surprised, but also pleased that I could keep half of it fresh.
1:20 what the fuck, there's a reason they're called *BABY MONITORS,* people literally use them to MAKE SURE THEIR BABY IS SAFE

Actually they’re why I got a Reddit lol
Only remaining place where i can get a sliver of confidence:
-Lexi's intro
my internet service uses pop up ads to advertise their shitty "buy this incredibly expensive offer for a low chance of winning (insert car or other valuable item)" like not even on a website or something it can appear any time and anywhere
"What's up sexy, I'm Lexi!"
Me, 10: THANKS, BUT, RECONSIDER!!
The emergency alert one is the most relatable for me in this vid. Someone literally used the emergency alerts to advertise them for the 2022 presidential elections. I won't say names but if you know, you know
President of where?
@@RedFoxtail26 Philippines
@@Goh._907 Yike, that's messed up. Thanks for the context so I could look this up!
I feel like if I ever tried to cancel a subscription and they made it too difficult I would just block the charge with my bank and cause them to forcibly cut me off as they went get any money.
Fun fact, while the apps can track which button you click in-app, they can not track whether or not you've *actually* rated the app. If an app ever keeps pestering you about rating it, just hit "yes" and then *immediately* back out of the page it brings up. It can't ask you again after that.
Getting Lexi, as narrator, is always a treat.
My dad’s health insurance was over charging him by marking my mom as a smoker when she is not and tried fixing it, but they changed it back and he got so fed up with them, and being able to properly cancel their ‘service’, he went to the bank and had them stop the insurance company from taking his money from his account and probably would have done harm to the insurance company people if he could have gotten his hands on them. Ha had a similar experience with some mechanics after they screwed him over for at least five grand and he posted some very poor reviews on them detailing his experiences. But yeah, nearly everyone is trying to screw everybody else out of their money.
Also that moment I think my $50 phone gets less ads than all the more expensive ones do.
Especially considering I don't actually get any ads aside from in app ones
“The emergency broadcast system is tightly regulated here” First of all we don’t use the EBS anymore we upgraded to the EAS in the 80’s and that’s the Wireless Alert System for phones.
It's still regulated heavily. You do not want those notifications to be seen/felt as normal.
it's still the same thing regardless of how you call it. lmao. eas or ebs, who cares.
What's really stupid is that Android (maybe Apple too, I don't know) combines way too much into "make and manage phone calls". You need that to be allowed to know when a call comes in so you can automatically pause. So even if the game doesn't intend to abuse it, it still has to ask for it.
Another fun one is, you need location access to scan for Bluetooth devices. This one at least has some logic to it - you might be able to infer someone's location by the devices you see. But there are far better solutions...
