  • I remember living in a world where i was shocked when companies started asking for credit card details when activating a free trial.

    I’m signing up for a free trial. I shouldn’t need to even give you my name. Just put a 30-day limit on the key i activate the software with. If i want to buy it, then i can decide that during the trial.

    The fact that we are at a point where the anger is directed to the part AFTER i have given all my details and credit card info is so painful to see.

    There are a few things they could try. You can get biodegradable bottles, you could use glass or metal, there are cardboard bottles and silicon and even ceramic.

    You could also change the way we buy these drinks from bottles we buy and throw away to containers we keep and refill from dispensers. The infrastructure isn’t there for it, but with the amount of money the major drinks companies make its not unreasonable to assume they could afford to implement it.

    And arguing that these alternatives are not practical is a wasted effort because an alternative IS needed to stop mass plastic waste and protect the environment so we need to get used to the bar being set at a different height.












  • Because they cant cast, as they described.

    Incidentally i know the difference between casting and screen mirroring. I also know the words are almost interchangabke and depending on the make of your phone the screen mirror will actually be called mirror-casting or screen casting.

    I also clearly stated some of the differences in experience in my comment.

    Also screen mirroring is, in my opinion, superior to casting because i dont have to open a different session to cast when switching app. Eg if i play a video feom youtube and then swap to a streaming service like netflix. Or maybe i want to view twitch. I dont have to stop casting one and start the other.

    I accept there are advantages to both. But its app specific. Like in youtube i can csst and then leave the app and continue using my phone. But the experience is different in other apps.

    So no… not a strange reply.

    A helpful and considered reply…
