"Why does modern edutech look like it's cleanly split between useless overpriced turnkey equipment, and the least user-friendly and sketchiest material imaginable?"
*looks at 20k of compliance costs to get one product into a store*
"Oh."
I'm not so much surprised as disappointed when describing the situation in detail causes the machine intelligence to start fedposting.
It's a little worrying when the really RHLF'd safety-compliant models won't stop doing it, though.
On the other hand, sometimes you do find some gems. (though I'd put this at <5% chance. Still, as copium goes, I'd rather have copium that isn't a fedpost.)
Stiiiiilll a little worried that it's changing my mind this much on a topic, even at <5%.
The worst thing is that you COULD do a decent re-write of it, chronologically, with the 90s substituting for the 50s. It works. But Fall Out Boy did not write that song.
I guess all I'm saying here is Stardew is great, but consider putting an actual plant in your actual living room and then talking to an actual emo hottie; Rimworld is great but consider actually....... you know what, don't actually do that nmind
I just absolutely love a business-class ISP that, on outage, will spend take 24 hours to get a technician on site, and after he can't fix it, kindly inform me that a maintenance technician may arrive in the next 48 hours.
If your maintenance technicians do not or can not inform the customer when they have been on site and 'fixed' the problem, and your web interface can not find the ticket that four separate customer service calls have insisted exist, you don't have a system at all.
In short, I have spent multiple hours this week listening to a IVR spiel informing me about your high JDPower rankings on reliability and customer appreciation, and underneath the rage, I have serious concerns about infrastructure reliability for a sizable part of the state.
