The absolute best thing Metabook can do to increase adoption would be to get someone else, anyone else, to be the public face of the company.

That gate agent is handed messaging to forward to customers. You’re yelling at the mouth, not the brain that created the message. Do you want to be screamed at because of someone else’s actions?

You should treat other people with respect because it is the right thing to do. The person you are treating like shit had absolutely nothing to do with your cancellation, your delay, the money you spent on a hotel or whatever. Being decent to people costs you nothing and if everyone did it, everyday life would be a…

Most people would be amazed at how hard a counter worker will work for them when treated with polite respect and appreciation. It’s neat that they’ll hook you up, but it’s sad that the reason is because you show just plain common human decency. The person behind the counter is not responsible for your flight being…

Your work allowed an end user to install a new OS without MDM approval?

I think, without some major investment from other contenders, that Facebook pretty much has the ecosystem locked down already. They’ve drawn in all the developers, created frameworks that tie everything into the Oculus ecosystem - it’s going to be tough to encourage developers to push their apps for other platforms…

Yeah! Just... something like the extra long “pro” comply tips, or the long westone ones... just so the pro’s don’t feel like they’re perched right on the edge.

Hm - I hope they don’t have the microphone grill placed exactly where people rub their fingers during insertion. The failure rate of Airpod Pros for ANC/transparency mode issues is absurd - I took a look at mine under a scope and from what i saw and talking to others, the issue seems to be, often, a grill over the…

IIRC Apple was pretty clear that their HMD wasn’t really intended to be a broadly distributed consumer device, more a platform to test and develop the technology. At $3000, and requiring software coded specifically for it, I see the device as largely targeted at developers of future AR/XR content vs. end users. There…

You know you’re absolutely right, I do tend to dismiss much of what you say because you open every reply with an insult or denigration. It’s not an uncommon way to engage, but a clumsy and sophomoric one. I’m not looking to fight or sling mud, I am legitimately trying to understand why some people don’t have an…

It seems impossible to have reasonable discourse with you without you lobbing insults. Please try to remain mature.

if they’d made 1 book into 1 movie it probably would’ve been fine.

But inciting mobs to suppress speech you find uncomfortable - that doesn’t bother you at all? I don’t like what he said, I don’t like what a lot of people say, but if they aren’t specifically inciting violence or action I respect their right to say it. It feels like we’re at the point where a mistake, a poorly phrased…

Avoiding the original topic and attempting to denigrate me and attempting to undermine the perceived place someone is coming from is pretty lazy - and... it’s... pretty much exactly the issue. I stated my position, and instead of actually addressing my position and discussing it, you call names and try to put me…

Well it must have tickled something upstairs, you’re still here. 

I understand that you cannot calmly articulate your perspective - thank you for providing an excellent example of the issue.

And the insults continue in the absence of actual discourse. 

Dave didn’t make anyone hit your kid, that was an asshole. Assholes will exist regardless of whether a comedian says something you don’t like or not. You’ve got the right to call me a moron, a comedian has the right to say he doesn’t agree with a specific group of people. I support both of those rights equally. 

My friend had one and we’re both over 6 feet tall, people at work would laugh when we’d come back from lunch but we had a blast riding around in it. The transmission on his first gen was awful but the rest was a hoot. Had an intake for neat turbo sounds haha.

I always thought a yaris with a beefier 4 cylinder NA would be pretty fun. Not bonkers powerful, but like... burly.
