Shit sorry update 3900.12 that introduced buy now pay later at the checkout actually broke that logic. Customer service got reports that it actually does turn off that fail-safe, mostly from relatives of deceased and coroners.
Discussed in sprint meeting this morning and it was agreed the upgrade can’t be rolled back due to agreements with vendors so the bug remains in production. Will be fixed in an upcoming release tbd.
It certainly should.
My t9p of mid-range baby car seats that I BOUGHT (ie. No subscription) come with a replacement agreement that each accident the seat is involved in above a certain threshold, they will replace the car seat for free as they are not safe to operate again after a crash -would need to check the manual in the car for deets, obviously not for a fender bender.
As many times as accidents could happen in the life time of the car seat, probably 8 years or so. For free. Which I think it’s smart as it gives them great pr in general, and it helps keeping their brand out of the news in case of a damaged item gets involved in a second crash and someone gets hurt.
I am sure they factored the cost of replacements into the seat price based on statistics, to me it tells you don’t need to be a soulless piece of shit to make a good and reliable business model without being a dick.
like bicycle helmets
Stop giving these fuckers ideas for fuck sake! Do you want a bike helmet that splits open into two halves mid fall because your haven’t signed up to their newsletter and liked them on Facebook?!
Came here to say this. Or at least the ferengi are in charge of marketing and product development.
Scuba diving equipment! Sorry you used your allocated oxygen, swipe your credit card to renew the subscription.
Limited liability. Negotiate with the family of the victim, ideally don’t pay at all if you can get away with it, and move on. Product management and marketing had a great idea to increase user retention, more in the meeting at 11.
Love the idea. Probably best to di it once the warranty is over or if you buy second hand though, as I suspect when you buy the heated seat car you have to sign an EULA like Apple products and agree not to tamper with the components or lose warranty and rights.
Quite simply, subscriptions for products have never existed in the history of humanity and shouldn’t exist. You either sell me something or you rent it. If you can afford to give hardware to me for free, as long as it is disabled, someone is taking the piss.
Who wrote the caption was having a hearth attack, I hope they are okay now?
You keep pretending to be great at assessing risks from your armchair but forget that these two guys are professionals, and you know nothing about rock climbing or this particular situation, you haven’t provided a singke reason why what they are doing is risky, or stupid. Anchors not bomber proof enough? Not enough redundancy? Too much slack? What is the problem exactly?
Yet you feel entitled to judge them. These are probably the guys that come and rescue you, when you do something stupid in the outdoors, not the other way around.
Someone else mentioned these are pro climbers. Your previous arguments that this is unnecessarily risky, that they are idiots that cannot plan a route etc have already been addressed by me and others. Now it turns out that you are acrually a cool kid that has a good reason to be high up in a harness but they don’t, they are just bored and looking for entertainment. Whatever mate, surely it’s them deserving the Darwin award here…
Um, you’re not really selling this. That’s a pretty low bar.
Mate I’m quite risk averse but come on, you ever leave your house or too dangerous?
That’s fine you can always play golf. Practice your risk assessment skills and superior planning abilities there no need to criticise.
One last time, this IS safe. I won’t comment on the sanity part as you made it clear this is not your cup of tea, not sure why no one else should be allowed to get out of YOUR comfort zone though.
People on lemmy are becoming judgemental like on reddit. This is probably safer than riding a motorbike on a public road, remember there aren’t many rock climbing accidents and the gear is really safe when used properly. Darwin award would be justified MAYBE if they were doing something wrong, or had forgotten a piece of gear at home. Wtf…
You think ypu are but you are probably not familiar with the sport and the gear. In terms of risk assessment IMO the riskiest part in lthis pic is they are not wearing a helmet!
Rock climbing really has little to do with adrenaline chasing and rock climbers are among the chilliest folks out there. Really all the people in this thread comparing it to base jumping or other crazy things should visit their local climbing gym and have an introductory session, give it a try its awesome.
These folks resting (presumably preparing to overnight?) On a ledge is not something you’d do as a beginner.
Yes but how do we pronounce xenon in your language?
Edgy, did you come up with that all by yourself?
Hardly so, and not a new problem: art has been made for millennia despite lack of financial security. A couple of exceptions here and there with patronage a la Medici but neither prehistoric people making graffiti nor van gogh were financially secure, and they produced art nonetheless
It’s almost like people call out bullshit regardless of the platform that’s being used
What’s a car X3 a special model?
