What ever happened to that guy with the zip ties for restraining hostages with? Is he going to do some time over this too? While not as affective at chopping meat with, I feel like the intent was more pronounced with the zip ties.
Google's customer service has become non-existent and unhuman. I would be leary of trusting their ability to sort out any issues in a fast or logical manner.
I say this as a paying customer of a few of their products. Despite this position with them I've been stiffed on Google Play gift cards in which there has been no human recourse within Google to deal with.
They just keep the money and there is no agency or person to investigate the 1000s of people with legitimate issues of redeeming the cards caught up in their AI flags. It's a nice way for Google to keep all of this money they have collected and never provide services for.
Slowly I've been removing their services from my life as I de-google where possible.
At first glance it reminds me of a 1990s video game where they don't have the polygons and the graphic card horse power to display what a Pontiac Aztek would look like.
Trump Sr would be doing cartwheels in his grave at the thought of a building. That once had his name being used for good. They usually took all those people for what they had as a slum lord back in the day...
Hopefully they are able to utilize the more modern designs. For the most part the general public's frame of reference is Chernobyl or 3 mile island and those are fairly old designs from the 50s/60s.
I drove through Alberta down into Waterton National Park and was pleasantly surprised by the wind turbines on the way in the south. I wasn't surprised to hear the new government has "paused" these projects to turn the focus back into oil.
With 1000s of abandoned oil rigs and tailing ponds in AB when will we stop allowing profits to be Private and losses and cleanup to be publicly funded?
For me it's a big F you to HP and it has been that way for a many years now. I loved their HP 4250 series laser printers for work. Those things were work horses, almost every part could be replaced, and the toner was cheap for what it put out. I had various HP multifunctions after and they were just garbage. Updates breaking them and disabling them. Not being able to function without all ink and the ink being very expensive.
Canon and Epson came in second for me on the F you list. I had some great Canon multifunctions but Canon would just abandon them on the support side. If a windows update came along you would lose the ability to use the printer.
Epson was a true pain in the ass as the driver would constantly break and need to be reinstalled or it would reinstall itself each update and switch back to the default settings. When dealing with many of them in a office environment it was a hell.
The one special gem that deserves it's own place in hell is the Xerox 7855. That was one of the worst POS they ever made. It was a contract service unit. It was always breaking down, there was never a tech available to fix it, and when they did fix it, it was not long before it broke again. We paid a lot up front for the thing.
We had a office party where we rolled it off the shipping deck in the warehouse into the parking lot below. There wasn't a dry eye in the place. Tears of joy. We never used Xerox again after that.
The multiple home office brother printers we bought just seemed to work. Next time I need to outfit a factory it will be Brother. I currently have a small brother "inkvestment" multifunctions that works great at home due the little printing I need. Comes with a ton of ink and it was cheaper than replacing the ink in my last printer.
This is also a important example of how much less crap there is in a electric vs ICE vehicle.
Yes the battery materials are mined (so are many other things) but the sheer subtraction of these various mechanisms from a electric vehicle greatly reduces the environment impact not to mention a great reduction in fluids required.
Dealers hate this one hack as the service requirements are fairly low too.
