There is no law limiting people from driving in Canada, or anywhere in the US.
All these people talking about earbuds limiting your ability to hear things around you being the reason have no idea what they are talking about legally speaking.
Check the laws for Canada, or any of the 50 states, and you will see no limitations for a normal license.
If the McJobs actually cared about what they did, and got your orders correct, I would agree, but most of the time they can't be bothered.
They are to busy listening to crap going on in the background.
I can't wait for the rest of them to go peopleless. The people do a terrible job and 9 out of 10 times literally get orders wrong.
Same basic issue with checkout lines. You get people that sit there chatting when there are 5 people deep and the person doing the checkout is slow AF. I can go to a self checkout line and be done in a fraction of the time.
I think that when a company does something like this, the fine should be 2-5 times the amount of money they made... That would make them much less interested in doing something that is clearly wrong.
I doubt very much that the tiny fine they have to pay even comes close to how much money they made.
So, the 8 year old system doesn't do what I need, so I should upgrade to the 4 year old version because it will be "good enough" for now as the same price I should be paying for current hardware?
Computers are much like transportation. Can you get there by walking? Sure, it might take a few days, but you can. Does that mean you shouldn't upgrade to a car that can get you there many times as fast? Them selling old outdated systems even as an option is shameful in the extreme and they are just suckering people in with brand loyalty.
they are talking about releasing a console a year from now that compares to today's mid range hardware. TFLOPS means nothing for GPU performance. the GTX 1080 with 5.3 TFLOPS walks all over the AMD 480 from a performance standpoint. The only place consoles can get a boost in performance is by the vendor squeezing out every last bit of performance to get "close" to PC gaming levels the year they were released, after that and often well before PCs walk all over console performance without all the special optimizations that are done for each console platform.
nope, that's not the case anymore either. There are very few multiplayer games that you have multiple people sitting in front of the same couch for anymore. Now the games are all over the network, and people are using their consoles more like gaming rigs with all the drawbacks that consoles come with. For the same price as a console you can purchase a mid range gaming pc that you can upgrade.
Are there people afraid to open a case? yes, and those people will always be at a disadvantage for various reasons.
I think it's good that he got his order canceled. If you are going to complain in an "open letter", you are pretty much just attention seeking. If you wanted to help the company out or support it in a positive light, you would have kept your issues between you and the company. I also agree that it must be a slow news day.

If that isn't the pot calling the kettle black...
For the record, the guy you are calling incompetent actually has a clue, unlike you it seems.
Have you ever worked with EPIC? Do you really have any idea what you are talking about? From your comments it sure doesn't seem like it.
You mean there are bits of good news out there? Besides the impending impeachment that is..
This was obvious, it was already done in movies even. The one I remember the clearest was minority report.
clearly, and her sheeple are awesome to her if she can respond like this and still be voted back..
That's one way to totally give everyone asking for help the finger. Way to go. I hope people vote that person out next time...

How much do you want to bet they will add commercials on top of their very over priced service?
it hurts the kickbacks that Roy Cooper gets!
