Hey, people pay good money for non-radioactive materials!

The way the tech works is the camera in the glasses itself is looking for the extra light coming from the LED, which is of a very specific frequency. If the light is not picked up by the camera within the first second of video, then the glasses are disabled. In this way, you can't disable the light, or cover it with tape, or drill it, or anything else - because if the camera can not see it, then the glasses shut off

Insane Clown Posse, is that you?

Once they realized you'd pay the hire price, if the fees are gone, the businesses are just going to go 'yummy more money for me'.

This is dumb shit. Many stores around me explicitly charge you the difference if you pay by credit card to cover the service fee.

I have never had my debit card compromised. Ever. The fact that it's a direct line is what makes it not usable to buy things online, etc (generally). But it's very nice to use in person - I like that when I spend money, I'm actually spending it and not creating debt. (Don't get me wrong, I always pay off my credit card bills every month, which are not trivial sums .. but I'm only using them because they're the only things you can use online.)

Credit cards, on the other hand - we all pay for the insurance. It's not really the banks problem, its a problem that you have protection for because you pay for it.

"Just give me 1% in cash"

That's still money that comes from somewhere. Like .. from you.

"An opt-out setting that quietly ships settings data off-device is exactly the sort of thing that adds to administrators' workloads rather than lightening them."

Fine, but there's *tons* of them. This is a drip in an ocean. The opposite, settings you need to turn on are also fucking huge depending on the corperate environment it's used in. I mean, fiddling over one setting on a product with a user base as huge and diverse as Windows is nitpicking imo.

Places that have to deal with this are setup to be proactive about the larger problem set.

yeah, damnit, we can't charge you X so we can give X - some amount back to you and call it a reward

fucking reward schemes suck

When you post idiot comments like that when it is clear you never even watched the ad in the post, you look like a tool

You didn't even watch the ad, and that is self evident.

99% of the ad is just panning around between Google tools and making jokes.

You are ranting and raving about nothing.

I was going to notify you that you have a cranky Scottsman here wanting a word with you, but then I double-checked, and for some reason a thousand Watts is a kilowatt. But then why is it abbreviated kW? WTF world? Please fix.
And no, I am not a train fancier. Well, any more than anybody else.

"No net zero?
OK, carbon negative it is, you heard the boss."

"the manager" lol you sound like you work at a gas station

Wow, Caldera, there's a company I haven't heard about in a looooonnngg time.

Let's remember that they transformed into blatant patent troll and persistent lawsuit pest The SCO Group which Microsoft funded in a futile attempt to bludgeon Linux out of existence.

It started as a very easy to use wiki, for internal knowledge at a company. It still is good for that use case.

But they tried to bolt on everything else under the sun to it, and it now tries to compete with Trello, Asana, Monday, JIRA, and everything else... and now apparently GMail as well.

The more a company tries to do in Notion ("because we already have it"), the more messy and unusable of a mess it becomes.
