what can i do about this? I bought a used Toyota RAV4 from a dealer and I thought it was a good deal, little did I know that there are a lot of bad things the dealer tried to hide from me. Until after I signed the check and waited for the car to be inspected we spot that the fender above the rear right wheel was hit and damaged. I pointed it out to the saleman and he started talking mumble jumble and said it was sold as is. Then now that the car is at home for 2 days, I found that the driver door does not open to key entry and the alarm can not be disable in case we lose the remote control. The button to disable the alarm is jammed or broken. Isn't there some law protecting me or help me get the dealer to fix these flaw? Oh and the car is under a 2months or 3000 miles warranty. Please help. oh and i'm in fort worth tx.

Most states have a 48 hour Policy on Used Cars that the dealer has to refund your money within 48 hours of purchase assuming that the item is in the same condition it was in at the time you received it.

Call your local government office FIRST THING in the morning and consult them on the Automobile Lemon Laws for your state.

Sorry about the raw deal dude. But you asked for it when YOU didn't look the car over and signed the check. NEVER NEVER trust a sales person, whether they are your friend or not. Check your local laws.

Any hue, if you are planning on buying a used car FIRST GO TO

WWW.CARFAX.COM it is a lifesaver.

I bought my car used from a Honda dealer. It is a Mazda 626. It was only 2 years old with 6,000 miles on it. I didn't trust the sales people I asked to use their computer to check. It turned out it was previously owned by the state and no record of any damage. So I got a 26,000 dollar car for 11,000. The dealer wouldn't even tell who owned it first. Just that it had only one owner. They even gave me that "old lady drove routine". Can't trust sales people.

    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support by Usama Jawad For the past few months, Microsoft has been previewing DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for Windows DNS Server, touting it as a foundational upgrade for zero-trust enterprise networks. It essentially introduces encrypted, authenticated DNS for the networks rather than transmitting DNS traffic in clear. Now, the company has introduced the general availability (GA) of this feature. The GA of DoH encourages organizations to deploy the solution in production environments without implementing a new client-to-resolver architecture. DoH helps improve the overall security of the network and reduces the risk of spoofing due to its zero-trust design. This is a significant change because pretty much every interaction with the network requires interfacing with DNS. DoH offers several advantages over standard DNS traffic, such as encryption using HTTPS, preventing unauthorized inspection, man-in-the-middle attacks, and traffic analysis. Since it leverages TLS certificates so that clients can verify the identity of the DNS server, it prevents spoofing through this authentication mechanism. Additionally, it's built on the DoH standard defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which means that it should work with modern RFC 8484-compliant clients. Finally, it integrates into the existing network architecture seamlessly and can even run in parallel with standard DNS, so that customers can migrate to the new technology at their own pace. Microsoft says that in the past few months of preview, DoH has become more stable, and customers can confidently deploy it in production environments with proper guidance. Microsoft has emphasized that migrating to DoH is necessary for organizations that are moving toward zero-trust DNS solutions. Windows clients already support DoH, but the latest availability on Windows Server provides encrypted DNS to all endpoints. The company has also mentioned that "while this release focuses on encrypting client-to-resolver communication, support for encrypted communication between Windows DNS Server and upstream DNS resolvers is planned for a future update." You can follow Microsoft's guidance to deploy DoH here, but keep in mind that you need a Windows Server 2025 installation with the latest Patch Tuesday updates installed.

      They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
