<p>> It became way better when microsoft started tormenting the users of win11 instead of win10, and now that windows update doesn't bring new catastrophes and unexpected reboot, the OS is finally not interfering with usage anymore.<p>Yesterday when I booted my windows 10 desktop PC I got a bunch of popups (Win32 MessageBox) about errors in some O365 AI dll files.<p>Turns out some MS AI software was silently installed on my PC in late may.<p>I do not have MS Office or anything that should require any AI software.</p>

<p>The maximum they can take in fees in a 12 month period is 100% of the original sum, having a 600% interest rate just means they get to the 100% cap that much faster. Ensuring that the consumer does not have sufficient time to pay off the debt before it doubles.</p>

<p>I am sure they gain something from it.<p>My Brazillian bank charges me 600% yearly interest on credit card purchases.<p>However, the cost of a lawsuit can quickly offset the costs of a CC. Depending on the state, there may not be a maximum cap on expenses, making lawsuits incredibly expensive. (Whereas having paid by card you could ask for a chargeback instead of needing to sue)<p>It's also a very time consuming ordeal having to sue vendors in these instances.</p>

<p>> PIX from Brazil is even better, to be honest.<p>You lack the inherent fraud, bankruptcy and other malicious actor protection that Visa/Mastercard provides.<p>Bought something online and didn't receive your product? With PIX you're SOL, with Visa/Mastercard you get a chargeback.</p>

<p>> To be able to pay with Pix, one needs to get a CPF (Brazilian Tax ID).<p>There are third party apps you can use to pay with pix using a credit card, can't recall that name, but read about it here a few months back, on another pix-thread.<p>> CPF (Brazilian Tax ID). Then to open a bank account<p>Getting a CPF is absolutely trivial, but I'm not sure you can open a bank account without RN/RNE, at least not with local banks. Can probably manage with one of the online banks.</p>

<p>I referred to the swapping of cars to a far inferior model than you paid for.<p>However I do also pay for milage (KM), and extending the rental period does often* NOT extend the milage range. Eg 1 month=1000 KM, 2 months=1000 KM, so you need to split the rental periods yourself and do all that hassle, or pay extra.<p>(*May of course vary depending on the rental company)<p>This being in Brazil.</p>
