Sell me on it?

- Doctor Who

Once a kid learns “Why?” sometimes “Because I said so” is the only option that doesn’t send you spiraling into a 90-minute philosophical discussion. Otherwise you started by asking them to be quiet, and ended by explaining the physics behind decibel measurement.

The problem with these sites is that you become just a ticket. I only use them to search for prices. Once I find my airline, I go to their own site and book directly through them. You have more flexibility if you book directly. It works the same with hotels.

Or in mobile

This is not so obvious when reading via a feed reader. You see the headline, and maybe a couple of lines of text.

I agree, but in the past they’ve lead the text with Mac:, Windows:, or w/e unless it was multi-platform, which I think helps a lot.

I suggest that when an app is only useful for those using a certain operating system that the writer or editor put that into the headline.

Agree. My iPhone picks up the Xfinitywifi hotspot as I drive home and connects to that, then won’t switch to my home network when I get home, at which point the hotspot signal is just barely there. I have to sit and wait for a webpage to take forever to load before I remember to go to and connect to my home network.

I know, my point was more that the article should have covered or at least mentioned them for the sake of completeness.

Is something like this possible in an iOS device? Terribly annoying that my device prefers hotspots to my home Wi-Fi.

Does this work the same for other desktop and mobile OSes? Given the general headline it seems odd that the entire article is on macOS and doesn’t mention Windows, Android, and iOS.

Or in other words, thanks, I’m glad it’s helpful :)

A lot of these studies are reported accurately—and so far I’ve always been able to find articles clearly explaining the caveats, so I’m definitely not the only one bringing a critical eye.:

Beth, I really appreciate articles like this that provide some balance and realism to the frequently sorry state of popular science reporting (and journalism in general). Thanks for the effort.

Alternate title:

Hey look. We get it—you’re graded by the survey. But the survey asks us to evaluate more than just your performance. That’s not the customer’s fault.

I guess you missed the part where you work in a SERVICE industry and your job is to make sure the customer is satisfied with what for most people is their 2nd largest purchase (after their home).

honestly dude just stop being a wimp. these surveys are just part of corporate life. try being a tech for a very infamous cable company and are graded on “on a scale of 0-10 would your recommend Xomxast to a friend” most of the questions have nothing to do with who’s grade it affects it is all about shifting the…
