It seems they already have otherwise we wouldn’t even know what the limit is for the files.

And it does exactly that for 99.9% of users. The app is not what the user is paying for, though, and he doesn’t deserve a refund just because it doesn’t work for his particular situation.

One of the things that annoys me about all these Socrata Open Data Portals is that they all look the same. Part of me thinks that this is great for consistency for users going from site to site, but it makes it all feel very disingenuous an

I don't understand why this is so shocking or surprising. Amazon Prime offers on-demand viewing (on top of the free shipping and all that) which is something cable TV doesn't offer, at least not to the degree that Prime does. Prim

Of course they should work. You're making a false equivalence, though. A video game is a product that you've paid for. The user in this case is not paying for the app, they're paying for the service. Just because Google offer

Yeah... I'm curious what part of the conversation triggered the Google Home action because, typically, there's a trigger word/phrase or something that has to be used. If the trigger phrase is the standard "OK Google&quot

I don't even know that this is true. In my personal experience (so completely anecdotal), pirated content is always much easier to ingest than paid, DRM'd content. There hasn't ever been a single DRM system that actually ma

First off, I'm not sure why everyone is using the phrase "what is says on the box". There is no box for this service. Services don't come in boxes and the website doesn't say anything about paying for an app. You&#x

They're a part of the package but they are not what the user is paying for. If free users and paid users both have access to the app, then it's not a paid feature. People aren't paying for the app, they're paying for the

I fail to see the point of the post. In the situation that OP describes, Slack would only really replace IRC in his equation and maybe the phone calls since people can interrupt you by calling now. You can definitely snooze notifications an

Your comment is completely incorrect. This is a platform called OpenGov that uses the open source CKAN data portal as its base. They offer additional visualizations and hosting support on top of the open source offering, but this is definit

No I'm not. I'm merely pointing out why the app doesn't work. I don't expect the person using it to know that. I'm just arguing that the service itself works perfectly fine so his outrage about being a paying custom

It does do what it says on the box. You're not required to download any of the apps in order to use Google Drive. My contention is that the OP claims that they deserve some kind of reimbursement because "they're paying for

What do you do for a living? Did you come from a wealthy family or did you earn your millions? I think your point makes a lot of sense but I also think that "a little luck along the way helps" more than most people think.

Why? The service is working as intended. He is able to store things on Google Drive. The issue is with the apps and the fact that he's trying to sync over 700GB via a 32-bit app. Additionally, they're offering him free storage. I

This is my annoyance with the OP - they're a very clear edge case and, technically, the product still works for them. They're not paying for a Windows or Mac app, they're paying for online storage and that part of the service

HealthKit is still going. They announced some big wins with HealthKit on the Apple Watch but they weren't included in the keynote. More than likely, there wasn't enough time considering the keynote without any HealthKit announceme

I love projects like this because, while it doesn't necessarily have a direct application right away, it solves a piece of a problem that could go a long way to help something else. Reminds me of the skittles/M&M sorting machi

I really would love to learn how to crack an old piece of software like this. Any ideas on where to start if you don't know much about the software side of things? I know JS and a little bit of C#, but I've never found a great pat

Woah. Now that's cool. It's really interesting to see that they are full 3D models but the shaders are done so that the ideal viewing angle is from the front and yet they don't look weird or broken from other angles. That&#x2

I'm in the same boat. I've used both Macs and PCs for years and I find the Mac's shortcuts to be easier to remember and, overall, more useful than the PC's. PrintScreen to capture the whole desktop is nice and easy, bu

This is the biggest failure of Apple's design on iOS and the article nails it perfectly. It's not just that you have to shake the device, it's that you have to shake it and answer a modal and that all apps don't treat

Why is that a bad feature? It seems pretty logical to me that clicking "Option" would give you a variation (another Option ) of the chosen operation. In that case, clicking the green "full screen" button gives you a &

I don't think so. The functionality is hidden on purpose to keep from distracting novice users. Every program's basic functionality is accessible without any modifier keys. If you're "finding" new features, it si

I disagree a bit with this assessment of Apple's intentions. It wasn't that they didn't want a second mouse button because they didn't want to hide functionality because you could always hold down the Control key and cl
