Everyone should talk to their parents and grandparents about this scam
It would be pointless with my mother, anything involving technology developed after the 1980s goes were in one ear and out the other.
She never could work out the VCR, I never even bothered with a DVD player.
They need to invent a “smart” TV that can be remotely controlled, so I don’t have to come around every time she wants to watch another episode of big bang theory, which apparently is the best show ever.
They really are just looking for the lowest common denominators.
I don’t have a webcam attached to my desktop, and my laptop is only used for work, and anyway it has a physical plastic cover over the camera.
A lot of people will have a very similar setup so it’ll be very obvious that they don’t have anything. The only people this will actually catch out are those with a guilty conscience.
I bet they have a disproportionate number of politicians pay up
It’s the age old question, does the pole count as part of a traffic light?
Personally I refuse to die for anything short of an antimatter explosion.
Hyperbole is a thing.
In other the news it’s still too expensive for basically anyone to buy which was my fundamental point which I feel like you’re ignoring
Well they could actually make the game that they promised that would be a good start
If we have a discover aliens the first thing we’re going to do if they have computers is try and run Doom on it.
fiddly little interfaces for gadgets
You can already do that with an app.
The technology is definitely cool but unless they can significantly reduce the price it’s just not worth it
It wasn’t lack of interest it was a lack of money. It was an interesting product that I would have probably bought but was ludicrously expensive. I can practically pay off my mortgage for the amount they wanted
People keep telling me it’s useful but I literally cannot think of a single use for it.
I wish, but most people don’t know / care about this stuff, it’s not going to really percolate into the public consciousness .
According to the dealership my car isn’t worth it’s weight grass clippings because it’s too old.
From an international perspective it does seem to be the only way you guys get any progressive laws implemented. Perhaps you should move the capital
No they’re clever they only agree to arbitration if you’re suing them not the other way around. They are very careful to make that explicitly clear
You buy the license to be able to view the media as many times as you wish. If I bought a copy of the Titanic on Google movies, or whatever it’s called, I’ve bought a license to view that movie for however many times I wish for as long as I wish. If Google decides to remove that movie then they need to either pay me back, or give me the right to download the movie.
As long as I don’t share that download or make a torrent of it, then it’s not piracy.
Shopify seems like it was purposely designed to be as dreadful as possible. They seemed to go out of their way to make dumb decisions.
That’s a great analogy actually. You can do almost anything with it but what the vast majority of people choose to do with it is wrong.
Just like how people insist on using Excel as a database or Excel as a form.
Wordpress is not a good fit for virtually any modern application. It’s designed as a blogging platform and basically no one makes blogs anymore. That functionality kind of got eaten up by Facebook and Twitter and LinkedIn, so no one needs blogs.
Instead of letting WordPress die the death it most definitely deserves they shoehorned in functionality, which would be fine if it wasn’t such a bodge job.
Personally I recommend Ms paint
Wix and Squarespace managed to be even worse options anyway.
Anyway who cares what the client thinks, they don’t know anything that’s why they’re hiring a professional. The professional thing to do would be to convince them of the advantages of one of the listed options.
Anytime I’ve ever had to deal with WordPress I’ve always run up against the fact that it has limitations that the client doesn’t understand, and then at some point you end up redesigning it custom anyway. May as well save time and start out custom.
I also have a locked door on my house what’s your point?
