Huh? I said it was cheaper to change the one thing I didn't like than spend an endless amount of money on the sisyphean task of finding the perfect car. (I had a neighbor who claimed his car was perfect, and then bought a new one and told me why the previous one was crap.)

I'd say - stuff that - if you buy a new car you should enjoy it
I do enjoy it, save for one issue. I'd rather fix that than buy a car which I don't enjoy, but which does that one issue right (which, after talking to a lot of people, is highly dubious due to, as I said, the NHTSA changing the standards for seats.)
I reject your rejection of my assertion that you're being cavalier with my money.

I was duped this morning by a fake email, with horrible consequences...unleashing a Trojan that blocked access to any application, claiming to be a virus protection suite...can't remember the name. I am hoping that the Kaspersky Rescue disk will save my bacon. The email claimed to be from WhatsApp and said I had a voicemail. I just got my first smartphone a couple of days ago, and just yesterday signed into the Microsoft store to see what was available and figured the email was the result of that action. I even went as far as Googling the name of the app/company to see if it was legit. What I failed to notice was the last search result on the first page describing it as possible malware! What a nice way to spend a Friday morning!  'and I didn't even see it coming'

Oh dear....
If I get emails that can possibly be relating to something genuine, I always visit the site directly and not via links. Never trust anything that appears in your mailbox!

At my work, the company periodically sends out phishing e-mails internally. We have been told that if we open the link of the next one, we will have a personal conversation with a VP...
|

|
|
Would the conversation cover entrapment?

Send one to the VP and see what happens, get the link to show something like a picture of a monkey reading the original email warning about opening phishing emails and seeing the VP.
Actually on second thoughts best not do that.

Got a legitimate email from a government agency, after our CIO pulled it out of the mailstore, as I had deleted it as junk.
