It was probably Aspen Dental.
It was probably Aspen Dental.
It’s not so much the motivation, but the just doing it. Shia has a great video on the subject:
Nah, it’s actually pretty dope. Scrub daddy, scrub mommy, and the scrub wand — I’m all in, baby.
Legit, the scrub daddy franchise is a lesson in great “KISS” product design.
Gah, I miss those days. I had a personal video on YouTube from the early days. Something or another flagged it — probably the audio I used for the cheap “credits” I put in — and the video went away.
More recently, grandmas birthday video. It got taken down a year later, likely because I had short, edited clips of Peanuts included. 🙄
Oh, and you mean Justin.tv.
Same reason a remote control is handy for a TV — convenience.
Motion or presence sensing. Timers. Virtual buttons. Physical buttons in places I wouldn’t normally have them. Garage door opening automagically when I pull in the driveway with a specific vehicle. Etc.
Plus I get to check in on my kitty from far away.
This echo chamber gets LOUD, too!
Imagine it? Living it.
It’s these types of moves that get me workin’ my way out of an ecosystem. I’ve already been strongly considering not-a-Mac as my next laptop.
I made the move from gsuite to Zoho mail, and wish I hadn’t.
I notice incoming mail delays several times a year. Support hasn’t been super helpful on that or other issues — I ask to provide or review logs and I get a run around.
Their support of exchange active sync is half baked in my experience, too.
As a pro, it’s reasonably priced and the native interface is ok. You can trial them for free, but don’t expect to catch all the cons in that period.
This dude hasn’t wrapped with the good shit. Serious creases. No unexpected rips. Scissors glide smoothly for the cut.
Spend a few extra bucks and be a wrap god.
Sure, here are three of my subs:
That’s fair.
Maybe Reuters is finding that “end users” are becoming their new customers, especially in the current media climate.
At first blush, I think it’s ok to want to track that type of impact more.
It’s still free to you. It’s not a paywall.
Mind you, you’re not contributing at all to support the material you’re consuming — there are other humans trying to make a living off the stuff you want for free.
Support things you value, otherwise they might disappear. Or worse, they introduce a true paywall.
You sure you’re not the bully here?
It grinds my gears so hard. At first I submitted feedback, thinking everyone wants good documentation. Then I realized the ploy.
Also, chat bots. Fuck me for being able to think through the basics and needing real help, right?
Perhaps Alan Carr’s “The Easy Way”?
My favorite chapter of that book was titled the Benefits of Smoking.
The author uses a nice technique - reducing the concept and practice of smoking to absurdity. Reductio ad ab-smoke-dum, if you will.
This. I went back to my XLS because it’s much easier to manage and massage the data.
I did like some parts of Actual Budget, and incorporated them into my spreadsheet.
You’re making some big assumptions. That’s ok, though.
I appreciate the link.
I can sleep knowing Android friends have built-in safety measures, just as I do on an iPhone.
Would the problem be solvable by saying Google needs to break from their approach (do nothing, in this case), and work with Apple to incorporate Apple’s tech into Android by default?
Just trying to think through the finger pointing that happens as we reel in tech.
Alternatively, if they are happy with their pro-grums, familiar with the interface, and not getting gouged worse than the next cable subscriber — consider letting it rest.
From things like being able to punch in a channel number to having the cable company to call for issues, folks in that generation might really prefer paying.
I’m basing this on my years of experience with a now 60-something and now 80-something. YMMV
