Scammy Unwanted Domain Renewals

Hey kids - anyone experiencing DreamHost automatically renewing domains that were set not to renew?

I finished a campaign project and wanted to delete the domain. DreamHost told me to set the domain to not automatically renew, with the instruction that when the renewal deadline passed, then I could remove/delete the domain, but not before. Oddly, I could transfer the domain at any time, but not remove it.

Yesterday Dreamhost renewed (and auto-debited my card) for domains that should not have been renewed and now I cannot remove them. Dreamhost tech support is a BOT and it runs in a circle.

I am stuck with Dreamhost renewing and re-charging, and not being at all helpful

Very scammy

eBay relisting sold items

I hope this is a good forum for discussion and answers. I have been selling on eBay stores for 22 years. Not a newbie.

In the past two years eBay has relisted items that previously sold on eBay. That same item, it simply re-appears. Of course I give a refund, but it drags on my ratings.
In selling multi-variation listings, eBay routinely loses track of inventory counts. I have a database and a bricks & mortar business separate from eBay that keeps better track of inventory. Today I found that eBay had reset the entire listing inventory for a large list of capacitors being sold - to the original quantity. The sales are shown, but the inventory number is entirely wrong.
I can manually edit the quantities fairly easily, but time consuming and why am I doing this?

Are other people experiencing eBay's loss of math skills?

Crosswalks or lack thereof

It could be a rant, but let it be a question first.

How do you feel about the locations and marking of crosswalks in Longmont? Where would you like to see a crosswalk, and/or where a crosswalk is a danger?

I can't hide it, I have been advocating for a crosswalk at 3rd & Alpine for two decades.

BUYERS BEWARE -SolidWorks will not install on Win10

Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks for Makers will not install on Windows 10.
Mid installation a dialog box appears to tell me that my version of Windows is not supported. It does not specifically say that it needs Windows 11, only that my OS is not supported.

Before buying SolidWorks for Makers, I read through all the specifications. Windows 10 appeared to be fine. It is not fine.

I have sent emails to Dassault Systèmes (repeatedly) and receive BOT responses. I am asking for a refund, or a least for Dassault Systèmes to stop direct debiting my funding account. There is no acceptable way to do this. The CONTACT link always sends me back to the same SALES page.

Dassault Systèmes is running a SCAM with BOT responses.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT IF YOU HAVE WINDOWS 10

Times Call self downsizing

In April the Times Call raised subscription rates by more than half. Possibly doubled for digital access only. Honestly, it had been a while since I had looked at our TC subscription, and I was rather shocked at the lack of information when I did.
Anyone here with a TC sub can look and see the contents of this https://myaccount.timescall.com/ltc/dashboard page. It has your account number in the upper left and everything else is a list of possible options - without pricing. No where else in my account page on TC can I find the amount that I am paying; a history of payments; when the last payment was debited. It's a blank slate.

Called the TC circulation office and spoke to a non native english speaker who only knew how to create a new order or take a payment. Everything else was referred to my payment dashboard.

We have watched the Times Call skinny itself down to a blunt pencil.
The current business address is 58th & Washington - the Denver Post

maybe its time to let go ...
