When you say that it seems that you don't know that Google makes money off non-subscribing users. Surely you know that?


Sure. But when Google made money off me as a paying customer, the support was good.

I think each of us has to make a choice: Either be a paying customer or accept that you're not a paying customer and aren't going to be treated like one.


Opt in for now. Locally for now.


Despite sibling comments, it's still a smaller phone compared to others from the same year. I have one and I'm extremely satisfied with it.


Consumer protection laws are mostly fine in Brazil and Uruguay, and I'd bet also on more countries on the other side of the Atlantic.


Now it is, but when they offered this feature initially it wasn't, and when they added the feature, you had to go in the options to turn it on. Evil.


My company, me as a solo dev, back in 2003-04 built a "single page app" using XUL and iframes. Still has some 200 monthly users, the poor bastards. They have to download Firefox 3.6 iirc, and it only works in an 800x600 window.

XUL was beastly back then though.

Out of curiosity, what does that app do to convince people to jump through such hoops? Would you mind sending a link to it?


It's a full management app for recruiting companies.

There are still 3 companies that use it (since 2008), so their employees don't have a choice really. The app does a lot, so to stop using it the companies would need to hire and migrate to 3-4 other services. I reckon SAP and the kind could do everything as well, but these companies are too small for that.

There isn't a website or anything anymore for me to show, and I haven't been involved in it for over 10 years.


Quite common, lots of old software that is custom written lives on, be it java apps, old vb stuff, etc


That's incorrect. Zenphone is a bliss.


I see this argument a lot. It works if you don't mind being surrounded by people in much, much worse condition than yours, for no reason other than policy cruelty.


Facebook are using the contents of the book to make money.
