Browser Question dealing with Beezid


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Long time lurker, first time poster.

Here's my issue....

I joined beezid and took place in some auctions. I was involved in bidding on a item and the timer counted down, went to going, then showed sold to me as the highest bidder. Then it went back to accepting bids and I ended up not winning.

I sent a complaint into the company and they gave me this as the result as to why it happened....

I forwarded your email to tech support and here's the information that they gave me after investigating your issue.

When a person is told that they're the winner and the auction continues it's because the timer reset/synchronization they were supposed to receive came in late, and so they were told they won and then the timer resets. It's a classic web/browser/internet performance malfunction.

Although what happened is not our fault, we would like to replace the bids that you used in the auction because we feel like what happened wasn't fair.

I can't say I've heard of such a thing and I want to know what you the experts think about this. Ask any questions and I'll be sure to answer them if possible. I use firefox when bidding and have never had this issue before this one.

Thanks guys.

    • A summary of the article shouldn't be an issue in theory, as the information is all based within the document itself. The problem with a lot of AI models is that they are trained off both Wikipedia as a primary source and other secondary websites which have less reliable information. As an encyclopaedia it is no doubt going to have bias in one way or another, all encyclopaedias do. The difference is that there is a process for a lot of this information to be figured out whether or not it is an opinion, or the source of that information, and to be aware of the possible bias in the first place, even your own bias as a reader. The way many people understand languages these days is quite limited, particularly in certain areas of the world. This is obvious in many types of "journalism" where some articles are thinly disguised opinion pieces, Where language is carefully curated to push a point of view despite it looking like fact. This is partly why a lot of the Western world is now so divided.
    • I paid for a year subscription, starting in December, I think. I like the user-friendliness and assets like royalty-free music and sounds. But they need to fix some of the horrific bugs before they start adding more features. For starters, you should be able to drag stuff around the timeline without it completely obliterating transitions, synchronization timing, and clip lengths. If you already set up footage and audio how you want, and try to insert more by sliding content to the right, you'll have to clean it all up again. The scroll wheel constantly stops working, and you have to minimize the window and restore it to get it back. When selecting text at the top right in special text tools, it glitches and goes to "copy" mode with a weird pop-up on top of your cursor and you can't type. These are more important than AI tools and new features. Microsoft, start by making your product less painful to use.
    • 🙄 Whats the need to launder? Do you have any reputable sources?
    • Thanks, I'll download it and see how it goes. Gonna be tough. I've used Nova Launcher for around 10+ years I think.
    • Wikipedia has become hot molasses with mostly filth masquerading as truth. Most of it is the imagination of few writers who think of themselves as above god. The narrative setup is mind boggling.
