and people wonder why Netflix is focusing more on original series. Same with Amazon.

@kdfrawg hardware does vary widely, even amongst the expensive phones. The thing I tend to notice first: amount of included internal storage.

The Alcatel OneTouch Flint I got had 16gb of internal storage, which is more than enough for my purposes. The Kyocera Hydro View only contained 8gb. Which means, after loading just a few apps, the phone runs out of storage.

Then you get to deal with SD card support, which sounds great in theory, but in reality, it's a pain in the ass.

@kdfrawg It's also been rebooted and the cover sheet was added to the TPS report that was submitted with the ticket :P

Helpdesks are clearly not designed to deal with people like me.
My experience tends to go this way:

  1. Ticket describes what needs to be done and why (something that falls outside of standard operating procedure).
  2. They then attempt to follow standard operating procedure which (shock, surprise) doesn't work for the very reasons I described in the ticket.
  3. Helpdesk sends it to the right people who ultimately do what I said to do in the first place.

you especially notice it on cheap, shitty Android phones.

sounds like the auditors in Japan are just as bad as building inspectors in the US :P

Personally, I think this is the best response to the whole Google Manifesto thing. From a woman.

that's no accident, if you ask me.

you assume there is logic here. There is only illogical rage against those who do not share their precise views and dare raise a question.

Worse, it looks like they doxed the guy. If you think it's ok to dox a guy who said some stuff you don't agree with, you're a terrorist.
