Exactly. I’m not saying other countries have different problems, I’m saying generally they have the same problems. People like to downplay their own problems and relish in other peoples to feel good about themselves. You can search for any

Migrants, energy crisis, inflation, extremism, climate change, export-driven strategy etc. Google “Germany falling apart”, sort by last month, see the absolute dire commentary.

I think it’s too easy (and tempting) for other countries to sit and poke and hypothesise that a country is falling apart. That was a just a case of sensationalising and far from the truth. As someone presently living in the U.K. it is the s

This is really cool, thank you for sharing. The visual element really helps convey the connection.

They use Godaddy. My goodness that’s not a good look.

The quality of the products is really poor. Cheap materials, sloppy tolerances and no longevity. The best team in Dyson is the marketing function to make people spend so much on so little. I won’t even comment on the man himself.

Agree. He makes plastic overpriced vacuums, he needs to know his limits. As a Hullavington local I have nothing but disdain for this man.

Completely agree. I do however think the way the instagram app works you are guided down a path littered with product sales pages, advertising and general mundane materialism. I think at its core this culture is good for their business mode

There was a shop that said to influencers they could get a discount only after 30 people used their specific influencer promo code. None of them did (or could do) it. It’s highly ineffective and for the most part it’s just some entitled per

It really is not. It’s insultingly expensive and all that overengineering offers no real world value. Don’t get sucked in.

God these products are terrible. All that added cost to protect some budget LEDs from burnout or discolour. They cost next to nothing. There is no innovation in this product.

It’s not really worth investing in google hardware in my opinion- you get invested and they just can it. They have no staying power.

Apple seem completely unreasonable behind the scenes. As an iPhone fan boy it really puts me off. Do google do similar things I wonder?

Not only do they keep cancelling chat projects but this one isn’t even end to end encrypted. What’s the point. Either release a superior product or just let it go.

I specifically don’t visit the site for that very reason now. Not only does it make it unusable on phone without the app (why any company wants to make that decision is beyond me) but it has also built resentment against the brand. Overall,

I think you have perhaps been won over by their excellent marketing team. I've been an engineer for long enough to have a reasonable say in the field.

I think they are getting there. The hair dryer is not a bad product really. However I do feel like some of their products still have quite a way to go. The excessive use of cheap plastic with bright coloured highlights aren't to everyo
