Umm, no? Absolutely not. If you lie to someone in conducting a business transaction, that is textbook fraud. You can tell them "sorry, I can't share that information about our busi…

There are many times a service like that might not be fraud. For example, if you never explicitly said it was an AI, and if every detail of the service remains the same, from the c…

Well, this morning I noticed my account had been set to a premium one and the ads were gone. Thanks for getting the right thing done here.

> Your bike tires need to be at around 3 bar. Yo, what? I'm pretty sure I do my bike tyres up to about 6.5 bar. And that's down from the 7 I used to use until I heard that lower pr…
