Hotspot Shield still charged me 79.99€ after cancellation.

I've tested their premium service on a free trial for a few days before concluding that there are better performing VPNs out there with better deals, therefore I made triple sure to cancel my subscription 3 days before renewal.

Lo and behold a few minutes ago I get a 79.99€ charge on my card for their subscription which I preemptively made sure to cancel. I log onto my dashboard and the subscription status went from cancelled to renewed for a whole another year.

I contacted their AI support which then prompted me to one of their actual human agents, I then had to sit there 15 minutes bickering back and forth because they just wouldn't take a "cancel my subscription and refund my money" as an answer. I must've said "cancel" and "refund" a dozen times each for them to finally cancel and refund my money.
Eventually managed to cancel and start the refund process but at this point my card will be out of 79.99€ for a few days because of this.

I googled if this has happened to anyone else and this sounds like a common occurence with Hotspot Shield.

Avoid their service at all costs, don't even try their "free trial" because you will STILL get charged after cancelling your subscription.

I don't think I wanna share things with you anymore

Since you've started taking your meds you've just become this hateful, raw, toxic and loathsome person I never thought you could be.

Maybe you were always this way, maybe love clouded my eyes so much I couldn't see the pit of hatred and negativity that you purposefully cultivated in your heart all these years.

In truth, I knew all too well and I just chose to turn a blind eye on it.

I was there when you had no one. I stayed when the whole world spited you with the same manner they do a monster. I've always thought you couldn't be, but now I can see that revolting creature clear as day.

Yesterday I sent you a picture, a little happiness I wanted to share with you, something wholesome to cheer you up.

What you answered was just poison, hit me with a hate so pure and unwarranted I could feel it on my skin. In my blood.
A year ago I would have it in me to seek for reason. Blame it on myself for saying the wrong words, blame it on myself for coming at the worst time.
Today I know it's you, and that's all the answers I'll ever need.

I'm not one to give up on people, you're the first and I pray for it to be the last, for it hurts so much I cannot move from my bed.

Today I don't think I wanna share things with you anymore, but I hope you find someone else to fill the space I'll leave behind.

Anyone got a solution for this?

https://preview.redd.it/jnb11s0wbh4h1.png?width=955&format=png&auto=webp&s=01027981c0d6eb328df77c76292142c870b1e51a

I don't have much space on my desk so when playing games with a controller I always end up putting it on my lap or on some uncomfortable ledge on my desk, which isn't really fun when your controller is worth 200 bucks.

Anyways, I thought of this "fix" for it which would require some telescoping arm so that it would just stay in mid-air infront of me and I wouldn't have to find some space to put it down when I'm not using it.

Has anyone got some ready solution in hand? Maybe some 3D print or something I could buy off Amazon or other sites.

I've never had beans in a can so I don't know how it's supposed to look like but this looks muddy/moldy. Can anyone confirm if it's safe to eat?

Can had no leaks or visible damage.
