how much do these places pay to make their apps into terminal cancer that cant be excised.

I know, its just SO HARD to not buy your latest shiny. You just cant resist, so it must be someone elses fault.

Its always someone elses fault.

🙄 covered here

Only person that thinks reading the packaging is a mountain of effort, is the kind of lazy person who buys stupid home automation devices to avoid walking five feet to turn off a lightbulb.

Very simple.

Does the product say requires an internet connection? Does it say on the packaging that it requires an app to use? Do you get home and find out it needs those things despite the packaging not saying it?

Then don’t buy it/Return it.

Its not that hard to avoid falling into this pit. But I guess if you are too lazy to walk the five feet to turn your living room lights off, maybe you’re too lazy to actually read anything… and if you’re that lazy, then I dont give a fuck about how you get screwed.

Only people that dont want to blame the consumers for buying the shit… are the idiots that buy the shit, which is why they get so incensed when you argue that landfill shovel shit wont stop being sold until they stop buying it.

Stop buying shit, and companies will stop dumping billions into its R&D and advertising. They’re not doing that shit to waste money, They’re doing that to sell products… and if you stop buying it, they’ll stop making it.

if consumers acted in their best interest, none of this shit would exist.

enjoy it. its a great platform to communicate with your friends in game on.

but its not a place for tech support, breaking announcements, etc etc etc

discord is a communication platform for friends to game on. nothing more, nothing less.

It should not be an information archive.

It should not be a source of tech support.

It shouldnt be a source of important news/announcements.

All that shit should be on your fucking website, where it can be indexed, archived, and searched for.

Cause discord isolates information in such a way that you will never be able to find out unless you actively use discord, actively hunt down the right discord channel, and properly luck into finding the information.

verses just going to a web browser and typing " [game name] [bug description]" and likely getting the solution, or at least relevant information, in the first 3 returns.

Discord holds information hostage, and kills it should a channel shut down/delete, losing it forever… and anyone that has played older games know that some of that information and community fixing is essential, even a decade+ later.

bring back fucking forums

if idiots stop buying this shit, they wont keep making it.

the problem is the idiots keep buying

how many times does logitech specifically, and these companies in general, have to do this before idiots stop buying this shit?

“The woke liberal left wants to changes maps to make America smaller! Cause they hate America! We will stand against this liberal assault on American sovereinty with the new Trump Map, which shows the true size of America compared to every other country! Order your new Trump Map today for 399.98!”

I’m sure this will work just as well as changing out avatars to green helped overthrow the iranian theocracy.

When it comes to tankies/rightwing/etc/etc I always assume a Reverse Hanlons Razor. Never attribute to stupidity what can be adequately explained by malice.

Yes yes, but think of the shareholder profits. Thats what really matters here, not these childish fantasies about the horrible nature of frakking and the fact that it makes water flammable! /s

No thanks, I prefer cash. Credit cards and debit cards can be disabled at a whim. Prone to being fucked up by computer error, don’t work when the internet is down, or during a disaster with no power.

Cash always goes through, though. Cash will always remain king.

ATM networks are typically for withdrawing money without a fee.

I dont think I’ve ever seen one that lets you deposit your cash at, for example, a gas station atm or anything… Feels like there’d be way too many liabilities… but who knows, maybe there is one that lets you.

Online banks have one major drawback, and that is the difficulty they typically have with getting cash into them.

Checks/Transfers/Etc? no problem.

But getting cash into it is a big PITA.

Lol, same.

I showered at a relatives and liked their fruity (as in, actual fruit smell, not as in the pejorative) body wash so much that I’ve been buying it for myself for 6+ years now.

a real man would fuckin love some bulgarian rose scented shit.

only some insecure little twat would balk at smelling decent.

I am now, and will forever remain, a child of the old internet.

When your username was all that other people knew about you, and you didnt even like them having that for anonymity reasons, lol.

I continue to be baffled about how people on the internet went from “Don’t tell anyone, anything about you!” to "Hi My name is Dan Rutherford, I like at 5849 Blasse Rd, in Tarry Birch,Kenfucky. Heres a picture of myself, my wife, my children, and a list of everything expensive I have in the house. Also my childs bedroom window wont lock. Anyway, we’re going on a 3 week european vacation now! Expect hourly updates!

PS: Heres my birthday, and my childhood elementary school, where I was born, and the name of my childhood dog. In case anyone needs to answer my security questions"
