I recently placed an order with Dell, but kept getting messages that they couldn’t process it. After spending five hours on the phone with multiple customer support people, they finally told me it was because my billing address was different than my shipping address, and that I wasn’t allowed to do that.

2·3 years agoNavy recently raised their enlistment age cap to 42. They’re currently the only service to do so, that I know of.
Edit: As far as I know, the enlistment age cap for most other services is 39, and the officer candidacy age cap is 35. There’s variations and waivers though, depending on your situation.

4·3 years agoI realize my post sounds like I’m against students typing out commands, but I’m not. I’m against them mindlessly typing out commands they find on the internet without taking time to understand what the commands actually do. I encourage them to be intentional with their commands and really understand them.

Android@lemmy.world•Opinion - What are your thoughts on password managers? Do you use one? Would you recommend it to others?English
2·3 years agoI love Keepass(XC). I’ve used it for years.
You do have to host the files yourself, which requires an extra step beyond just handing your password over to Lastpass for future leaking, but I consider that a good thing.
