It was always the same. They came in saying they're looking for a small device. I showed them the small devices. They played around with them a bit, then slowly moved on to the bigger devices. No reason given, they just said they liked the smaller ones more and yet still bought the bigger ones.
Around 10 years ago I worked in an electronics store. You know, when actual small smartphones were still a thing (think S4 Mini and stuff like that).
Every day people came looking for a small phone. Always were very interested in the smaller devices. And yet most never bought one, they eventually decided for a larger one. For each new Samsung series during that time, I'd guess it was about ~50% of people interested in the Mini series, but only ~5% of our actual sales were the Minis.
It's crazy and I learned a lot about people and their purchasing behavior back then. People often think they want something and never buy it and vice versa. It's interesting, from a psychological view. In my current business it's the same - people keep asking for stuff, and once you offer it, nobody cares about it.
That's probably why Samsung kept on making these Minis until the S5 despite them not seeling. Customers kept just giving them feedback that didn't reflect their behavior.
Kommt halt aufs Land und die jeweiligen Gegebenheiten dort an.
In Tschechien wirst Du eher betrogen, wenn Du es so handhabst wie beschrieben, und bist sicherer dran, wenn Du sie einfach über die offizielle Seite vorher kaufst. Man kann nicht für jedes Land die best practice im Kopf haben.
Unabhängig von jeglichen Betrugsversuchen finde ich den Onlinekauf aber eigentlich auch weniger kompliziert als erst irgendwo hin zu müssen. Je mehr ich Zuhause vor Fahrtantritt erledigen kann, desto weniger muss ich bei der Fahrt aufm Schirm haben, wenn's soweit ist.
Kommt natürlich auch drauf an, wie viel digitale Kompetenz man hat. Das Szenario im Artikel klingt extrem nach "Betrüger haben sich Adslots gekauft und Opfer hat draufgeklickt". Nie im Leben war die Fakeseite das erste richtige Suchergebnis.
Ich würde daher mal behaupten, ein einigermaßen technisch versierter Mensch klickt gar nicht auf die Anzeigen oder blockiert sie ohnehin. Ist man das nicht, ist man vermutlich tatsächlich besser damit bedient, sie lokal zu kaufen.
Same. I worked in an electronics store. This was one of the manufacturers where products broke so often we had a separate bin for their broken products.
But it was also one of the "refund anytime, no questions asked" manufacturers where we could just say how many value of products we got returned and they would just refund the amount to us. No pesky RMA process, no repairs, just take it back whenever the customer is unhappy and throw it away.
Everyone's saying the need to sleep. That goes a bit too far IMO. Who knows it would work out as we think it to be? Maybe the 33% we sleep will just be reduced off our lifespan with nothing won.
Also, honestly, even if that wouldn't be the case - I wouldn't want to not sleep at all. It's like a regular break from life. Even if employers wouldn't exploit this, I don't want to be awake forever.
Now, here's my proposal: We still need to sleep, but we can control falling asleep and waking up like it's a muscle. Lay in bed and fall asleep anytime. No more falling-asleep issues for anyone, no more sleepless nights.
And also, we'd have a perfect inner clock and the ability to choose when we wake up. Fall asleep at 11 PM, have to get up at 7? Great, you know exactly when 8hrs are over and are able to just wake up, no alarm needed.
Da ist ein iOS-Link mit einer wait-list. Wie implementierst Du das auf iOS? Mein Kenntnisstand ist zugegebenermaßen ein paar Jahre veraltet, aber ich dachte App A kann nix anzeigen, wenn App B auf ist, so wie das bei Android mit der "draw on other apps"-Permission der Fall ist.
Gab es da eine Änderung oder wird das ein Tweak der nen Jailbreak erfordert?
Yeah that or aliens.
Huh. Thanks for answering. But this kind of breaks the intentions of a federated construct, doesn't it?
In the worst case, I'd just block people from that instance, but not defederate it. That way my users could still interact with their community but their users couldn't disrupt my instance.
Many smaller instances have defederated from lemmy.world, for example
Why?
As the first post for this community, I would like to share one of my most unexpected spots:
UR 36278 | Plate from Uroševac, Yugoslavia | Spotted in Germany in October 2023!
Idk if hangovers are more intensive for me or if I'm just overly sensitive, but I've stopped getting drunk simply because of hangovers. I'm just past the point where the upsides of drinking alcohol aren't worth the intensity of the hangover after it. It's just not fun anymore.
And I don't understand how people the same age as me or older still get wasted and just shrug at the hangover, if they even have one. I still drink alcohol rarely, but probably never get wasted at memory-loss level ever again.
Thank you! I don't have apple devices but Sideberry comes very close to what I'm looking for, I think it will help me organize my tabs.
I live near the A7, a North/South directed highway in Germany going all the way from DK to AT and I also live near a motorcycle hotspot/meetup point.
In the summer, there are so many Scandinavians doing just that, making long distance travels with motorcycles, sometimes even with these small motorcycle trailers attached. They go camping in my town and continue the next day further south (or back up north respectively).
I don't have a bike nor do I like camping, but I love seeing these guys every time :D
