I've also put wood panels on my car to save the environment. It's pretty useful.

Thank you 😂

Yeah, I've been with you. I owned a couple .so from Somalia for a while. They cranked up the cost to $$$ and I had to cancel it. I'm not a smartass, I just burned myself already in the past

Maybe I'm just old, but I thought a distribution is literally just a package delivery basically, just like you speculated. Making software work together nicely is actually already hard enough IMO. I don't think anything is wrong. Valid question though

The eyes probably look super weird and people are supposed to focus on the bump on the head

This is nothing new. You can buy these USB cable testers on Amazon or directly from Alibaba. They just put some fancy visualization on top so you don't have to look up what the individual LEDs on the tester mean.

As others have generally noted about Kickstarter, this is just another scam with cheap Chinese gadgets.

Do it anyway. Having anything behind a TLD that is tied to the political control of a tiny geographic area is insanely careless

The quality of an invention has nothing to do with profitability. People actively fight competing products and ideas. A good invention is worth nothing unless you whore it out to existing industry

How do you sell what you did as "it just worked"? Rightaway? You lied to them. You have your coworkers on an unmanaged machine with a foreign OS on the guest WiFi with custom networking. Don't oversell a workaround as a solution.

Simplifying the problem to "Windows" seems unfair, given how many problems you found. All of them still require a long-term solution for regular operation.

They realized that they can get away with stealing data. No reason to keep up the facade anymore

These people claimed their product can pass the bar exam (it was a lie). Tells you how they feel about the legal system
