Customer who filed complaint against TD Bank refuses to sign gag order to get compensation

TD has screwed me enough times to leave for another bank; Considering everything I had was with Canada Trust, that was no small feat... but a consistent and ongoing problem of:

  1. Told them I was traveling, please don't lock the cards; cards locked for fraud protection on day 1 and we cant check into hotel. Spent the night in a bar that accepted the backup cash.
  2. Inheritance cheque was "Lost" and took 2 years to recover the money. Thank fuck for taking a photo of it on arrival.
  3. Account hacked- brokerage account. No way anyone could just randomly get into it or have conned us; we check it once a year at best. took almost the entire account in 499 increments until it was dry. Took a year took a year and police investigation to get that money back.
  4. Ongoing small fees and interest that should not be there trying to get snuck past on statements.

Finally left after almost loosing a hundred grand.

No one who values their money should ever do business with that bank. They cant even do the one thing a bank is there to do.

Microsoft closes the door on Windows 11 supporting older hardware

I know everyone here foams over Linux, and for good reason... but please remember the average user is a techno-fobe who struggles to find the start menu. Linux just isn't an option for a lot of people. Windows has been around so long and feels familiar. Until there is a major demographic shift and ECE training on general computer use an basic troubleshooting... the majority of the population will stick with whatever arrives when they turn it on because "It's what they know".

If Linux is to take over it must come PRE-installed, Must be fully compatible (read: plug-n-play); even with the weird printer your aunt found in a garage sale, at-least feel familiar to the majority of users.... and for corpos... run MS office (read: excel) natively.
