Readit NewsUnless I'm misunderstanding it, the idea of pinebuds makes perfect sense considering some of the other devices they've created.
On the other hand, some of the language they used, such as how they mentioned browsing the apple store as R&D, makes this kinda seem like a joke.
I'm probably just too much of a control freak to deal with the uncertainty of browser-craft. (All respect to those who do web stuff) I'm from a painterly background and do cgi. If I want a pixel somewhere I'll put it there.
If you just use HTML, then the words that you choose to write will be the words that everyone will read.
Any "pixel placement" is optional and shouldn't be a detering factor.
I find it spectacularly baffling for this kind of content-marketing website, where income presumably does not come from advertising, nor trading in visitor data, but from their DBaaS. Why would such a company risk alienating their visitors like this? It makes me question the decision-making in their unrelated, primary service; their conscientiousness; even their security. Truly mystifying.
The marketing space is filled with all kinds of "plug and play" SaaS providers which offer detailed customer journey data and sometimes it's just straight up easier to add an "accept all" consent banner than to try and allow for hot loading specific 3rd party libraries based on customized consent options.
Is it the right thing to do? In my opinion, no. But I can also understand a situation where decisions were made on marketing tech before understanding the technical privacy implications. And then the implementation is handled by a team (potentially much smaller) that does not work on the actual product.
I gave people a fairly complex solution in an easy to use package for free because I had no idea other users would pay for it. Everyone was happy to use it and ask for features and send emails with “can you please do this in this other way that I like”.
So I continued developing it because positive feedback gets you in this loop where you don’t realize how much time you’re spending on things that you don’t even need in this app and are only to please other users.
When I realized I just spent 4 years on developing all these features I don’t use and there’s a real need for this solution in the world, I started asking for money on advanced features to at least recover some of that development time.
I also added a download link to the last free version of the app for people that don’t need the new paid version.
That’s when hate mail started. “Why the heck would you ask me to pay for the same features that were previously free?” and “lol what a stupid app, you turned it into nagware, I will just use a cracked version from now on”
What’s the solution here? Just develop a hard skin and continue doing the same thing until people stop complaining and get used to your product having a monetary value?

Why are you writing authoritatively about something you know you don´t actually know then?
I still don't understand how it works. Why can somebody owning something called "Amvoom" claim something called "Acme Klein Bottle"?
An even if they legally own the brand, how keeping the reviews when moving the brand to the new owner is the proper thing to do for the customers? By definition, the reviews are for another provider. I don't get it.
I really hope I'm wrong though because this sounds like a very lazy and flawed system.
Want to repair just that part because it's the most unreliable and most likely to break? Well LG only sells the entire door as a replacement part and it's $200 despite the fact that the original microwave costs $400.
