Around 10 years ago I worked in an electronics store. You know, when actual small smartphones were still a thing (think S4 Mini and stuff like that).
Every day people came looking for a small phone. Always were very interested in the smaller devices. And yet most never bought one, they eventually decided for a larger one. For each new Samsung series during that time, I'd guess it was about ~50% of people interested in the Mini series, but only ~5% of our actual sales were the Minis.
It's crazy and I learned a lot about people and their purchasing behavior back then. People often think they want something and never buy it and vice versa. It's interesting, from a psychological view. In my current business it's the same - people keep asking for stuff, and once you offer it, nobody cares about it.
That's probably why Samsung kept on making these Minis until the S5 despite them not seeling. Customers kept just giving them feedback that didn't reflect their behavior.
Kommt halt aufs Land und die jeweiligen Gegebenheiten dort an.
In Tschechien wirst Du eher betrogen, wenn Du es so handhabst wie beschrieben, und bist sicherer dran, wenn Du sie einfach über die offizielle Seite vorher kaufst. Man kann nicht für jedes Land die best practice im Kopf haben.
Unabhängig von jeglichen Betrugsversuchen finde ich den Onlinekauf aber eigentlich auch weniger kompliziert als erst irgendwo hin zu müssen. Je mehr ich Zuhause vor Fahrtantritt erledigen kann, desto weniger muss ich bei der Fahrt aufm Schirm haben, wenn's soweit ist.
Kommt natürlich auch drauf an, wie viel digitale Kompetenz man hat. Das Szenario im Artikel klingt extrem nach "Betrüger haben sich Adslots gekauft und Opfer hat draufgeklickt". Nie im Leben war die Fakeseite das erste richtige Suchergebnis.
Ich würde daher mal behaupten, ein einigermaßen technisch versierter Mensch klickt gar nicht auf die Anzeigen oder blockiert sie ohnehin. Ist man das nicht, ist man vermutlich tatsächlich besser damit bedient, sie lokal zu kaufen.
Same. I worked in an electronics store. This was one of the manufacturers where products broke so often we had a separate bin for their broken products.
But it was also one of the "refund anytime, no questions asked" manufacturers where we could just say how many value of products we got returned and they would just refund the amount to us. No pesky RMA process, no repairs, just take it back whenever the customer is unhappy and throw it away.
As the first post for this community, I would like to share one of my most unexpected spots:
UR 36278 | Plate from Uroševac, Yugoslavia | Spotted in Germany in October 2023!
Idk if hangovers are more intensive for me or if I'm just overly sensitive, but I've stopped getting drunk simply because of hangovers. I'm just past the point where the upsides of drinking alcohol aren't worth the intensity of the hangover after it. It's just not fun anymore.
And I don't understand how people the same age as me or older still get wasted and just shrug at the hangover, if they even have one. I still drink alcohol rarely, but probably never get wasted at memory-loss level ever again.
I think most browsers do this. IIRC Chrome puts a ":D" there if you exceed 99
This feels like reverse psychology on a little kid.
"That's it, I'm not tracking you anymore! >:("
"Oooh nooo, what have I done! Oh how much I would wish to be tracked :("
"No, you won't convince me to change my mind >:("
"Oh well, guess I'll have to live without being tracked, what a shame that is."
Inclusive doesn't mean they let everybody in regardless
It does. I mean, if they not let everybody participate it's by definition an exclusive community. In this case exclusive to women. Which is fine, but it is not universally inclusive (as the word "inclusive" without any further definition implies).
I get what they probably want to say - they include every woman, regardless of age/nationality, if it's a MTF trans woman etc. But they could have expressed this better - i.e. "inclusive community for women" or something.
On the other hand, you're supposed to read the rules when you post in a community the first time so this confusion could've been avoided by both sides.
Mama, im kindergarten haben alle anderen kinder 2 Eltern, wieso habe nur ich keinen Papa?
Nun, kind, es war Heiligabend, wir brauchten Eier und es brannte im Einkaufszentrum.
Oh nein! Und Papa kam nicht mehr rechtzeitig raus?
Nicht ganz, er ist erst nach Ausbruch des Feuers rein. Wir brauchten doch die Eier, mein Kind. Ich mein, was ist Dir lieber, Heiligabend ohne Essen oder ohne Papa? Hab ich mir gedacht, hungrig bleiben am Feiertag ist nämlich schrecklich. Und nun iss auf.
Falls ernstgemeinte Frage: Doch, natürlich gelten ausgeschilderte Limits auch für Radfahrer.
Es gibt Ausnahmen bei impliziten Limits (also nicht explizit zB mit "30" beschilderten Limits), zB gelten die innerörtlichen 50km/h ab Ortsschild nicht für Radfahrer. Andere implizite Limits wie Schrittgeschwindigkeit im verkehrsberuhigten Bereich wiederum aber schon.
Ich finde es mega interessant, wie viele Wörter halt wirklich genau dazwischen sind und man anhand der Niederländischen Wörter merkt, wie es sich von A nach B entwickelt hat.
Zum Beispiel:
Haupt (i.S.v. Kopf) -> Hoofd -> Head
Zwölf > twaalf > twelve
Schatten > schaduw > shadow
Kalt > koud > cold
It was always the same. They came in saying they're looking for a small device. I showed them the small devices. They played around with them a bit, then slowly moved on to the bigger devices. No reason given, they just said they liked the smaller ones more and yet still bought the bigger ones.
