Title says it all, I have a bunch of repeated daily tasks for my routine that just vanished after june 9 for apparently no reason.
They're all repeating daily, not "until X times/date". Any idea how to fix this?
It's pretty time consuming to redo the whole routine. Thanks in advance!

So I had a very weird experience at Bestbuy today.
Went in to buy a gaming laptop. I have a good budget, nothing extraordinary, but I know what I want and it's an easy sale for anyone working there.
I come in and ask if they have what I want in the store's warehouse.
It was a Lenovo Legion 7i priced on sale at 2300 CAD. The guy tried selling me an extended warranty, and since I'm prone to breaking stuff on laptops, I agreed to look into it.
He said the warranty for 4 years would cost about 350-400 CAD, but maybe more for an Oled product... then quoted me... 870 CAD.
That seems like a real premium, and is over twice what he sait it would be, which is weird.
He also said he could give me 120 CAD off if I took it. I said no, but agreed to 2 years instead (can't remember the price). I also have a 250 CAD gift certificate so I though, why not?
He shaved off the 120 CAD and with the certificate it came down to just under 3K.

Then, as I was about to complete the sale, a colleague randomly took hold of it and started running the process *extremely* fast. He wanted me to sign something before telling me the total after selling me on 3 years extended warranty (the duration of my college program), then said to run the payment and only apply my certificate only *after* it was done which is... unsettling? Might be just how it works...

They also told me that the warranty covered all accidental damages, that even if I threw the laptop on the floor they would replace it, and that they would offer in-store credit of the same value or exchange it immediately. I thought it was the Geek Squad Protection Plan.

Went on the website today, found out the 4 years protection plan was 540 instead of 870. Also found out that there isn't any Geek Squad Protection plan anymore (at least in Canada), and the warranty for Quebec is also much more limited.

The Protection+ plan is better but apparently requires a membership which I do *not* want. I was also offered to pay in instalments twice despite making it very clear that I have the money in full. In the end after so many back and forth motion, I needed to call the bank to up my debit limit and I was gonna run late, so I walked off the deal. They also told me the price was gonna go up "tomorrow", which I sincerely doubt very much.
I had a really good service before, but I never felt this level of disrespect.

There's no way those guys are able to sell premium products to anyone who actually have the means, no offense. I don't know if I should escalate to management, but there is a limit in feeling ripped-off... not saying they were ripping me off per say, but it was plain bad.

They missed a 3K sale yesterday and no deal is going through if I can't talk to someone who's decent at their job. Unbelievable.

So today I went to Canadian Computers with a friend and asked some info on GPUs.
I'm a new student and the program is focusing on Unreal engine mostly, with some Blender mixed in as well as Touch designer for interactive AR experiences, plus the Adobe suite.
The school's computers are 3 years old i9 with 4070 cards and they run everything perfectly. I was told to get something that can last the three years at least but also that wouldn't be so overkill that your project would lag on the teacher's PC (massive fail LOL).

Soo... I was told I needed a 5070ti, or nothing. The seller pushed it pretty hard on me, the Gigabyte model to be precise, saying I would otherwise run out of VRAM, that it could be overclocked (...is that still a thing?), that it was the best in the long run, etc

Thing is I have a good budget... for a student. I can't afford a 1500$ CAD GPU plus the months it takes to get all the parts together and build the PC.

Seller said that because of LTTS 4.5, it was a lot better than AMD... is that true?
I mean from my understanding my school's computers can't even get LTTS 4.5, and the AMD cards seems like a much better deal.
I could get an older tower from the school (2060 with 9th gen CPU and 32 gb) for 600 bucks, and upgrade the card and the CPU, or I have seen a good Technoid pre-build on sale with a 5060ti, Ryzen 5 5500, 32gb 1TB for 1500 CAD - and I have a 250 Bestbuy gift card.

I normally wouldn't go for a prebuilt but my budget is limited.

What do y'all think?

I'm not even looking at restricted items at all. 2-3 hours of browsing for a laptop deal and both my machine and my network got flagged... had to go to another network even after re-starting mine. Not logged into account.
Now I have to purchase a phone with a gift certificate, an iPhone 12.
I haven't done anything remotely suspicious! What's going on?
