TeamViewer is phasing out their Google Chrome extension. To speed up this process, their are false-blocking their free license users with following message:

There are three stupid fuckups in action here.

First is that their moron developers aren't even able to display correct value of until when a lock will be in force.

Second that timeout mentioned in this message usually happens about 15-30 seconds after actually establishing connection.

And third fuckup is that when you turn off Chrome extension and immediately run full-featured client, you'll see that your account isn't actually blocked, because you have full, uninterrupted in anyway access to the other machines or users.

Turning off TeamViewer client and switching back to Chrome extension reveals that... you're again blocked.

I had some issues with my latest Booking.com's booking. There were certain things missing in reality against offer, but I managed to settle it out with the property owner itself. She agreed to refund me a 10% of the price that I paid. She decided to process this refund through Booking.com. That's where the horror started.

In short, sharp words -- while only about thirty seconds was needed to pay for this booking, thirty days was not enough to process a refund! I am more than certain that (after years of uninterrupted cooperation) I will never use booking.com again.
