I have similar experience with Everglide (the mouse pad company).

After I got my product, I was told they made a mistake on the shipping charges and wanted to charge me extra.

The amount I was charged was already quite hefty and they had the guts to want to charge me more.

I basically told this company to fxxk off and I confirmed with my credit card company that they cannot do this.

Just got another email from HP. They have seen the error of their ways. They will honor the reduced price for those who received them. Good for them and us.

It isn't a Neowin exclusive, but dougkinzinger alerted the Inquirer, I have never received any e-mail from HP about the pricing error. I don't think the Inquirer had major impact on HP. Either ways legally HP couldn't get us to send our monitors back or charge us extra.

Didn't Best Buy try and pull the same stunt.

Just to recycle people's memories: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/04/24/1818210 . I wasn't involved. I just have a good memory ;)

AFAIC, if the product was shipped and was billed on your credit card, then the product was paid for in full. Its HP's fault they didn't check the price. And its REALLY bad customer service to try and bully people to cough up the extra dollars after they paid for the product and HP shipped it.

Check for details on the Best Buy story as to where the law stands. There should be some helpful tidbits.

Looks like HP wised up and realized they were just gonna get a bunch of bad press if they continued to pursue that course.

And regarding that LCD on Circuit City and the 14ms response time. As far as I know there is no LCD with a response time lower than 16, I know a Planar 17 incher and maybe a Samsung have the 16ms reponse time. I saw this monitor discussed on another forum and it was found that the 14ms is actually the reponse time rise or fall or whatever, and the other is 16ms. So the REAL response time on that monitor is actually 30ms. (combined rise and fall response times)

Kind of like selling your friend a basketball card for $100 when it's really worth $150, then crying to him saying "I want the extra $50"

Except HP is not your friend. In fact, HP is noone's friend. HP has no friends. They tried buying a friend named Compaq, but they were so zealous they swallowed him up (no big loss, compaq SUCKED)

BTW guys, I just read all 10 pages of posts and I totally agree that HP is full of crap on this one and I'm right with you :cool:

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
