You're mixing things up. Nobody bought an iPhone or iPad because of Facebook. You could also install the Facebook app on that, but you could also use your notebook or your desktop pc or your cheap Android phone or whatnot to use Facebo

So far only actively downloaded codes seem to trigger this. Put in a dynamically generated "instructions.pdf" which you have to download before opening. I'm sure someone will find a way...

The most obvious reasons might be spam or stealing contact information from the site. Those profiles could also be used for mass-liking of posts, to trick the algorithms for the feed.

We'll just switch to user-specific QR codes then, like unique links in spam mails to find out who clicked it.

Tesla reached a mere 1.5% share of new cars in August 2022 in Germany. They are far away from "outselling" all the others.

There are whitelabel producers doing this for you. Have a look at Spreadshirt, shirtee or Picanova for a start.

I'd like to add a datapoint from my professional life. I work with a very niche-specific automation solution for the print industry. That solution always had some scripting capabilities, which were a subset of JS with some software-spe

Yes, for sure. Now I've got a different vacuum cleaner for every room. Never have I felt cleaner before.

I'm with you on that. I did kickboxing and other things for some years, so I've seen some blood from blunt force. Blood dries quite fast and/or gets absorbed by the fibers of the clothing and will then turn into a darker shad

They'll obviously look into how your business has developed over the past years, compare expenses and income, also to other businesses from the same field, and see if something seems odd. So, starting to book lots of income without sca

No, the comparison is bullshit. We're not talking about 30 years of technological difference here, we're talking about two versions of the same model of motorbike here, but one has everthing stuffed into it and disabled by default

Adding heated grips to a BMW F 850 GS is only possible by adding the "Active" package, which comes at 445 Euro. That also includes new driving modes and a baseplate for luggage, to be fair. Nevertheless there's a hefty price

Honestly, I'd be totally cool if it pays some bills because it fixes somebodies problem. I just wonder if projects this small can really be monetized.

How much does it pay you monthly, if I may ask?

That would defeat the purpose of streamlining production and being able to sell the subscription services, so probably no. But on the other hand, pricing is not yet published, so time will tell.

As a motorbike rider myself, I find this terrible. It obviously makes the whole bike more expensive as you have to integrate all the hardware, which can break down although you might have never used it. Isn't BMW going to do something
