Thanks very much, that's what we ended up doing. We just reordered the canceled items and then returned them with the "no refund needed" option chosen.

lol, calm down there, captain commenter. You're going to blow a gasket.

I use forwarders on a domain I own that point to my primary acct.

I don't have a business account with them but have had a Prime subscription since Prime became a thing and have to say that something has changed in regards to the support as of late and not for the better.

Last week, we had 6 orders scheduled to arrive to our house and we got notifications for all that they had been delivered to the office and handed to reception, which we don't have, just a porch and a door. My wife contacted support to tell them and they said they would refund all of the orders without even looking to see where they got delivered to. The support person gave a few different totals, none of which were correct and we ended up having to go through our orders to add up the refund total since he couldn't do it correctly. After all of that a refund was issued..... and then the packages were delivered about 30 minutes later.

We have been trying for days now to let them know that the packages were delivered so we could be billed correctly but so far, every person we've talked to has said they're allowed to refund but not allowed to charge us and that it had to be passed to someone above them.

I don't have a lot of faith that they'll figure it out and worry that some day, they'll just cancel our account because they detected some type of fraud.

Thanks very much, I believe I understand that part now, like a fingerprint to associate to site components like pulled in js, css, etc. I still don't understand, though, how they associate that to a particular user of a VPN. Does each request done through a VPN include some sort of identifier for each of us or is AI also doing something to put these requests in a particular user's bucket?

Anyone have an eli5 explanation of how AITA works? What patterns could be captured and how would that lead to identification or data siphoning?

Could you explain how separate emails would increase security risk? I ask because I've used separate emails for absolutely everything and it has only ever helped me with security( if I get a Microsoft security notice to anything other than Microsoft@mydoma.in, I know it's not legitimate).

I don't mean in lieu of 2fa, strong pass, etc, I mean in conjunction. I don't see how it could hurt.

What's odd is that they tell you you're banned for breaking an unnamed rule then invite you to create another account. If it were an offensive username, you'd think they would just force you to change it. What's the point of banning an account then asking the banned member to create another account?

Freetube with sponsorblock enabled foils all of it.

My gym does this. I carry one my old phones in my console with nothing but the gym app on it. I turn it on when I park, it connects to wifi while I'm walking in, I scan the code then turn it off and throw it in my bag.

I would guess maybe that's what's causing the issue for you then. If a bunch of bots were doing something using that IP address you may have just got caught up in that. I don't know how much help reddit's customer service would be if if there even is an outlet to dispute it, but maybe somewhere in the notice page you'll find a way to ask for human review.

Are you using a VPN perhaps? Maybe they corralled the accounts coming from a particular IP.

Out of curiosity, how many reddit accounts have you had and were you reprimanded on them? It looks like they've just sussed out your other accounts.

Youtube has ads?

I absolutely love the token spoofing and hope more developers pursue that solution. The more unpaid API access, the better.

"... for me". FIFY.

Some people seem to need them. Variety is the spice of life.

Unfortunately, our lives don't perform at the technical level but the practical. Gaming performance for the games I like are abysmal on linux. I appreciate linux for what it excels at but I would never suggest it to someone that wanted to game.

Still working for me on Freetube.

It will be interesting to see how the technology fares with something like pi-hole.

You keep saying you're done but yet here you are, still engaging.

I win because I've commented last. Yay, me.
