I'm holding 50 shares of TATACONSUM @ 686. I was optimistic till last week that it would touch 700. But this week, this stock had a steep fall and now I'm confused whether I should exit and cut my losses or continue to hold, hoping it would it reach its peak again?

Tata con. products this tanked over 9% is this right time to buy this?

The future is electric! Go vocal for electrics.

It is the company that should meet customer standards, if they want the customers to pay.

The "It's free" mentality that I see on posts as rebuttals to genuine constructive feedback are ridiculous like the shop prices. If a game is a completely new IP then sure I agree that we can't really complain because there is no set precedence. But for a pre-existing franchise like Halo, the standard has already been set.

Sometimes changing that standard/ benchmark could be good or bad. At the end of the day it's the companies decision to change things but ultimately it's about satisfying the customers otherwise what's the point? Even if the game is "Free", it is still designed to make money, believe it or not. In fact, free to play games make more money than some one-time purchase games. So I hope 343 listens to us (the potentially paying customers) to improve the game for (mostly) everyone.

When it comes to making your everyday purchases, does it matter to you that products are "Made in America", or not?

Confirmed with Darkglass support. There is no warranty protection for consumers whatsoever. They only honor warranty claims via their distributors (such as Sweetwater), which means you have to go to the shop that sold it with issues, even years down the road.

So if you try to claim a warranty directly with Darkglass, even if the pedal is registered to your name, they will not honor it. They charge the $75 service fee for out-of-warranty repairs. Hope no one bought their Darkglass pedal second hand.

I find this business practice to be misleading and consumer hostile. I understand that supporting their sales channel is important, but I think that it's dishonest to include a "Register your pedal to start your warranty" card with every pedal when the warranty doesn't do anything. I wanted to see what everyone else thought - is it just me or is this not great?

We just got a sudden influx of off-topic questions about consumer products, presumably Christmas gifts. Those questions go to /r/TechSupport or /r/Gadgets, please.

They want us to die quicker. There has to be stats available.

Ranting after GTA Trilogy launch. I feel a lot of companies get away with producing bad products because consumers (overall) don't fight back with their wallets, instead just speak out on social media.

Recently I came across a shampoo pack of 100, and they're selling it 4X more than MRP.. It's sickening...

I've complained about it to the online shopping giant and asked them to remove it, But they just don't care as long as they make money.

If we leave them like that, They probably will create a huge demand in the market by holding goods and creating an artificial inflation??

How do I file a complaint on them??? Is there nothing a citizen can do against these injustices???

Hey everyone,

On both of my previous smartphones, I've used a dual-layer case consisting of a hard plastic shell surrounding a soft, squishy silicone layer, with nice fat silicone corner bumpers (The Trident Aegis line). These cases have served me well over the years, taking 30-km/h impacts without any damage whatsoever.

However, when searching for a case for my newest phone, it's almost impossible to find one that uses a soft, shock-absorbing silicone. Nowadays, it seems that all of the "tough" / "rugged" / "Military" /"Heavy Duty" cases use a plastic shell and a very, very firm TPU rubber layer.

I've bought some of these cases, and I've gotta say, I do NOT understand how these could offer any protection against drops and impacts when the rubber has absolutely no give to it. It's like driving in a car from 1970, where there's no crumple zone built in to its design. The moment you hit anything, the totally-rigid frame transmits ALL the force directly to your soft meat body. In my mind, dropping a phone in a hard case will transmit ALL of the impact right through to the body of the phone, potentially shattering the screen. I mean, take the example to its logical extreme: Imagine simply making a phone with 1-inch-thick metal sidewalls on its frame. Sure, this will make the phone stronger against crushing forces, but against impact? Those perfectly rigid sidewalls will transmit all the force through to the glass.

And yet... hard TPU liners prevail. And they all claim to meet or exceed various military specs for drop resistance... so what gives? How can these ultra-firm layers do anything for impact mitigation? To me, it goes against the very physics of impact damage: acceleration and impulse.

Any thoughts/discussion are greatly appreciated.

When Astroworld ended in disaster, multiple deaths, and many injuries on a Friday, lawsuits were being filed as soon as courts opened the following Monday. There were even temporary restraining orders filed (iirc) so that the scene, and any evidence, would be preserved so they could bring as much to trial as they could.

I'm not seeing that in the news today about Amazon and Mayfield, despite how many workers were killed, injured, trapped in wreckage, or otherwise traumatized by what they survived, even though there was plenty of warning of the tornados approaching.

I don't understand. Are the workers simply unwilling to sue, even a class action lawsuit? Are attorneys less willing to take this on? Is it more legally permissible to put workers at risk than concertgoers? Or are the lawsuits being filed and it simply isn't being reported in the news? Is there a chance these companies are destroying evidence of potential culpability, the way Houston attorneys moved to prevent LiveNation from doing?

Appreciate any insight you all can provide. Thank you!

EDIT: There's an article in r/news right now with about 48k upvotes about how workers were requesting for hours if they could leave, due to the weather warnings in their area...so yes, they did have ample warning that this could happen, and the employees (at least some of them) took this seriously even if management did not.
