Small places can't keep up with ordering online. So if everyone orders online there are only large chains. You feel down the road if I want a more unique restaurant they will be willing to open one for me and have me dine there for the cost of a meal?
Yes but unfortunately reviewers often don't seem to consider the same things important that I do. For example, I want a headphone that I *cannot feel* when I put it in my ear and lie on my side to go to sleep. A reviewer may say 'they are comfortable' but no one is going to say exactly 'how' comfortable. Also, my ears are a different size and shape than anyone else's so there is no telling whether they will fall out or not unless I get a sport pair that go around the back of the ear, but again I may be able to feel those. Anything I order from Amazon seems to take over a week to get and it's just too much time if I have to return and re-order.
So open a gofundme page to get 200,000K for the documentation. If there is enough people out there interested in it then it should be no issue. First ask Razor how much it would take though.
So your favorite restaurant has to scramble now to pump orders out the door so they can make the same money they did before, and you're willing to walk away and never go back because they gave you inadequate service once? You sound like you are part of the problem. Did you bring to their attention that the food was not adequate?
Believe it or not, a lot of us haven't even bought a smart watch yet and we still use 3.5mm ports, because we recognize the new way of doing things isn't always the best way. I can see myself setting up an open-source assistant with open parts some day perhaps, if I can ever have a full English conversation with it. Otherwise these things are just annoying amusements for people who think they're too important and busy not to have an assistant. Google Voice in the car is a lot better than typing stuff on a touchscreen (only when vehicle is not in motion), but only because of the hands-free requirement. It's going to be a long time before they are very practical. Even longer if companies continue to fragment themselves into their own ecosystems.
There would be a huge uprising before that happens. Most average Americans don't care right now, but if they try to enforce a law 'you must use a service or a $150K vehicle or you can't drive'... Oh yeah Americans will be uprising like you have never seen it before.
I'm not sure where you are finding them for $13 a pair, I stop by electronic departments all the time and I've not seen a comfortable looking model (that I can wear at night) for less than $80. At that price I'm not willing to buy it and risk losing or breaking it. $10 wired headphones on the other hand work for me, and since I wear them when I'm sleeping they tend to break all the time.
There were replacements to all those when they came out. For example, cd drives didn't start to disappear until flash drives were so cheap they were just easier than CDs. Now the fact that my Macbook Pro has a USB-C port it's making me wish I had a CD drive again. Anyhow, bluetooth headphones don't replace wired because they are limited in sound quality, require constant charging, are easier to lose and break, and cost 5x more. Lighting headphones and dongles won't work for a lot of people who want to charge as well. Sure, many people don't care and just spend the money they need to, but they are the suckers born every minute.
People 'see they were right' because the technology they move to proliferates. Meaning, they move too soon to be in the best interest of the customers, who are forced to use a dongle until technology catches up. In this case they have done one worse and eliminated a technology that there is a partial replacement for but whether a person decides to use a lighting port headphone or dongle and not be able to charge their phone at that time or shell out for or five times more for a bluetooth headphone which is more expensive to break or lose, the customer is definitely losing here. People who wanted to use bluetooth headphones always could.
Well fortunately this is a problem that isn't for us to solve. Perhaps corporations should recognize the people that know technology in their organization and involve them more in interviews. it doesn't sound like a very difficult thing to solve.
So that's probably a big part of the problem then. It's not hard to learn things about IT. If they are the one getting paid bigger bucks than I (these days possibly hundreds of times more), then should they not know more about the organization they are running?
It is still all their choice to run their business that way Just like if I decided to drop out of school and do nothing but play video games, then complain that I have to work for minimum wage on Slashdot and all my jobs are going away due to automation, someone would be quick to give me the cold hard truth that I must either strive to improve myself or be happy with minimum wage. Well, if companies choose to continue running this way, then they had better be happy with it as well. Why do we indulge them when they shrug their shoulders and say there is nothing that can be done on their side?

Only using instant lasagna noodles, which are disgusting in my experience.

Accept the mainstream or abstain, thus ruining the enjoyment of "dining out" for millions of people who enjoy unique experiences.
Well if you don't tell them why you are dissatisfied you may be saying something but you can't expect them to know what to fix.

All that will happen is the interesting places will fade away and we will be left with a handful of large chains to order 'food' from.
I have to agree with you. It's not so much for the interaction as it is just to get out and go for a little drive.
That doesn't sound like it is up to health code. I'd think twice about eating there.
If smaller independent restaurants can't stay afloat, then it will destroy all diversity in the restaurant industry. That's a big downside.
You have never had electronics fail on you for any reason other than physical damage?

Oh yes, shredding components and letting them sit in some third world dump (where people also live) is very beneficial to the environment.
I won't order headphones off of Amazon. Too much hassle if I don't like them.

So it's wrong to want the best sound quality you can get out of your phone when you can't be around a full sound system?

Can we not get modern 'appy app' business ideas that HELP neighborhoods in some way instead of causing problems for them?
Nothing has changed, except for the fact that we are still waiting and governments seem to be more willing to expose the public to testing.
