Yeah, but can you make your player randomly suck the innards of the media into itself and destroy it when you try to skip to the next song? Can I shove a pencil in there to try and fix it?
Have you ever used Skype for Business? It's a shitty app, and won't be missed in the slightest. If they just shut the entire fucking thing down today, I'd be thrilled.
It can't keep conversations synced across devices, if you've got multiple instances open (For example on your PC, a remote PC and your phone) it will randomly send a conversation to a device that you're not using and you won't see it until later, it freezes for about 30 seconds every time you get a new conversation, the audio cuts out constantly, when connected with bluetooth headset if and other app plays a sound Skype for business just completely shuts down all audio until the other sound is done.
The entire Lync/Skype for Business team should be fired.
Now take that Nokia 1020 on safari in Africa and take some close up shots of a lion doing its thing.
Take any cell phone to your kid's school awards assembly and try to zoom in or get a decent shot in the auditorium. Or try to get a decent shot of your kid playing sports with a cell phone. Or take it camping, and try to get a shot of the night sky.
Cell phone cameras have come a long ways, and they are great in taht you always have it with you. But they're no where near replacing a DSLR in a lot of common situations.
YouTube for Android has had this option for quite a while. It can only play when the app is open, play in the background all the time, or only play in the background when headphones are attached. iOS doesn't support this?
Most people don't buy Bose headphones for their awesome sound quality. Most people buy them because they have reasonable sound quality, with awesome noise cancelling ability.
I have a call every morning with my team in India. Because of time zones, that call is every morning while I'm on the train. I can't hear anything with regular headphones, and you wind up having the volume turned all the way up trying to drown out the ambient noise. With my Bose ones, I can keep the volume relatively low, and hear the conversation extremely well.
Plus, when I'm not on a call, being able to put on some quiet music and not having to hear the sounds of the subway, the train, the guy on the train listening to music on his cell phone without headphones, stop announcements etc is great. That alone is worth the cost of the headphones to me.
I tried YouTube TV on the free trial when they started offering it in Los Angeles area recently, and promptly canceled it.
The ads. An ad when the show starts, and ads throughout the show. I can get a superior experience with a torrent. I don't mind paying, but won't pay just to watch ads.
They sell it as a feature that you can allow multiple family members to use their accounts to watch as well. What they don't tell you (Until you've signed up) is that you can't do that if your google account is using a custom domain. So now instead of having my kids able to have their own accounts on the service, they have to watch under mine. I don't want to put my account on their tablets just to watch TV occasionally.
The web interface is currently terrible.
Chrome cast works, but I initially get a message as the stream loads telling me to get a newer chromecast, and then it takes forever for the stream to load. Sling doesn't have this issue.
It doesn't work with my Roku.
When I canceled, they ask why. But you get a small list that doesn't have any of those as an option, and no place to put a specific other reason. Oh well, back to torrents for me. I tried giving them money.
And for the love of god, stop changing the default search order. Just put the things that I've liked (And not the things you think I'd like) in chronological order.
No kidding. That and every freaking thing that you comment on or like gets broadcast to all of your friends/family/coworkers. So I just stopped interacting with Facebook, which means I just don't go there any more.
Older people - of which I am one, are accustomed to being able to share books. Book clubs, used book stores, sharing your favorite new read with a friend is part of the culture. The notion that you pay once and can never share with someone - yet pay close to the same price as paper - is both insulting and greedy.
You haven't priced ebooks lately. Most of them are considerably more expensive than having a physical copy shipped to you. Take for instance the classic 1984. A paperback copy can be bought brand new including shipping for $6.51. On Kindle, it is 50% more, at $9.99. I love my Kindle, but I refuse to pay the premium price that publishers are charging for the books. On books that are priced this way, I'll either borrow a copy from the library or pirate it.
I notice they finally added simple refactoring capabilities, like "Extract Function," so you know, they're making progress: soon they might catch up to Eclipse.
Wireless charging is great. You can have a charger/stand on your desk, one on your nightstand, wherever you want. Just leave it there and your battery is always topped off when you go. You can pick it up and reply to messages without a cable getting caught on things. That was my biggest disappointment with the latest Nexus and Pixel phones, was that Google discontinued that feature. Hopefully if Apple puts it in and Samsung keeps it in their flagships, the next Pixel phones will have it as well.
The only one of those things that a legacy USB connector is is orientation specific. They're not bulky. They're ubiquitous. Your mouse dies and you need a new one at 3 in the morning? Run over to the local 24 hour drug store, they'll be there. Need to send a large file to someone with a bad internet connection? Send it on a USB thumb drive, you know if they've got a computer they'll be able to open it.
This is the new spec, but there's no reason to remove the legacy completely at this point. Just like most new car stereos still have a CD player even though most people get their music online now. It's ubiquitous. Everyone can, and will continue using it for a long time.
That's discretionary spending though.
Necessities like housing and utilities will double since each person needs their own. Ask any divorced person how their financial life changed after the divorce.
Yeah, those are legitimate concerns with a web app. But pretending that developing a standalone app doesn't have its own set of equally painful problems is ridiculous.
With a standalone app, you've got to worry about things like.Net versions, DLL hell, installation packages, keeping users up to date, windows versions, etc... Yes, modern languages will typically take care of most of this for you, but to pretend like they don't exist is just being naive.
Except with a felony conviction he'll automatically lose rights for life, and will have a much harder time getting a decent job once he's out of school.

Shit, even the most recent executable is named "lync.exe". I'm pretty sure they just updated resources and released that.

If you're just now noticing that, you're way behind the times. This has been built into Visual Studio since at least VS2005.
I use a bluetooth headset every day in a packed subway and commuter train without any issues.
Don't forget, he also believes that despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, the pyramids were built by Joseph to store grain in.
Calling someone a liar when they are actually lying isn't denying other's speech.

They'll probably just copy the way Google started doing it years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
How is this legal? Tricking people into paying for accounts by convincing them that someone is trying to message them would be fraud, wouldn't it?
Also, it does not respond with expletives.
They need to fix that, it's a great app otherwise.
One of the servers was on wheels. Wheels
