Feels a bit like the Masterchief portrayal in mostly never wearing the helmet during the show and fans have wondered if it was because the actor had a caveat “I want to make sure I’m known to be the actor behind this iconic character.”
I mean, I understand, but at the same time, you’re taking on a role as a character who has been portrayed in a certain way by the existing fanbase for decades.
Your appearance you bring is supposed to mirror what has been established, not who you personally are.
The VoIP services they subscribe to usually help with this to some degree in identifying common patterns to cut down on some of the spam.
Beyond that, businesses implementing call queues & bot menus is what helps cut down on the rest of it.
It’s becoming more rare to actually get in contact with a human from many businesses nowadays. Businesses seem to want users to use a bot that will help the customer do whatever it is they’re doing as much as possible.
And the only way to get to said human is through a series of menus and questions, usually confirming they actually are a customer.
Long gone are the days of calling and getting a human to give your information to.
When you call something like Bank of America, they prove you are a customer because you give them your account number or they recognize that based on your caller ID and also have to still provide SSN or date of birth, so even if someone spoofs an actual customer’s number, they’re stuck in the menu and never reach a human.
Glad I’ve kept mine offline all this time. Also have a PiHole that I hope would stop this shit too.
I got enough of it from Samsung.
For the amount of money I paid for these TVs, I should get a discount if you’re going to shove some ads down my throat. Especially when most of them are irrelevant to my interests.
I was looking something up and of course Reddit came up but kept telling me “YOU BROKE REDDIT”.
What a shitty way to express an issue that your site is causing for users. Just go ahead and blame the users. That’s great for noobs who don’t know anything and will legitimately think they did something wrong on their end.
It doesn’t make much sense anyway. You try to take away the power a word has or make it so it’s not readily available, but that just makes me wonder more about it.
“The f word? Which f word?”
“Why did they put an asterisk to hide ‘abuse’?”
“F*cker” - great censoring. Nobody will ever be able to tell what that word was.
Knew it was coming soon but it still hurts to know he’s no longer here. I can’t say I ever saw a movie I was displeased with that he was in. He reminded me of my grandpa.
Went to Iceland a few years ago and the biggest thing I noticed was how clean everything was. In the US, at least where I am, trash is literally part of the street. Little black “gum” streaks, random paper flying about…
I don’t remember ever seeing any litter of any kind anywhere we went on the island.
I do remember seeing a random piece of raw meat on a meadow but that was it and I’m not sure I’d call that litter.
Good, let’s keep it dead globally. This is never going to end well for anyone from any political side if this kind of thing gets implemented.
This is why I don’t buy toys and other items that require a specific app.
The last one I remember buying was that little robot and the company that made it went under and a new company bought them and resurrected the robot but now required a monthly subscription.
Great example of why this kind of crap needs to stop already. I don’t need a damn app for everything I do and it doesn’t have to be specialized.
The other side of it is those things I have, like an older RC helicopter, that still has the app available on the App Store but not for modern devices because the specifications changed and the app no longer is compatible for modern devices.
Fun stuff…
This was on a company computer? It was humans + horses? I initially thought this was horses + horses until your last paragraph. Just a weird dude who really enjoyed watching horses get it on with each other lol
