      I picked up a pair of Nike sneakers, but they were AT&T / Nike sneakers and I couldn't use them on my Verizon plan. I figured i would just update the firmware, but it turns out they were already on version 8, and had to wait 3 whole months for Verizon to come out with version 9 and someone to upload it to the web. It took 3 days to download it off some russian site i couldnt even read, but after i got it installed on my sneakers my buddy with the same sneakers let me borrow his so we could go menu screen by menu screen to change mine to english without knowing russian.

      Crocs are flipping awesome. Don't need to wear socks, they get good traction in wet weather, and your feet don't sweat. The only time I wear anything else is the steel toe boots for work. Of course they're knockoffs because I'm not paying $50 for two pieces of foam rubber. The knockoffs are made of much harder material anyway. They are 10 years old at this point and don't even have holes in the soles yet even with me walking across town and driving a manual transmission car with a racing clutch and missing rubber pads on the pedals every day. Why would I wear shoes that require socks and make my feet sweat unless I'm trying to protect my feet from falling objects? Sneakers are useless, they're expensive and fall apart after a couple years.

      On the realistic side, crocs are not that bad. They are ugly, but they are comfy, serve for years and with the strap behind heel, they stay on the foot perfectly. Great for gardening for example. Little bit like Fiat Multipla. It was ugly, but the visibility from that car was amazing, engine was quite strong and you could loat a whole pallet in the back.

    something to keep in mind is that this specific shoe was marketed and made for "sneakerheads" directly. the very audience nike intended to sell this shoe to was their most devoted fans who are willing to pay a high price for a gimmick. they are betraying the very audience most likely to come back and make repear purchases from them.
    also, $350 USD for a shoe should more than justify a lifetime of app upkeep (especially an app with only 2 functions).

      True....that app does not require any maintenance or updates. It was programmed once and then literally fire-&-forget.

      Lights on/off
      Button for changing color (maybe a selector field like on the hue... another thing for the bin when the disable the app)
      Maybe tension force

      At this point, I am somewhat surprised that they didn't just market their shoes as "Nike Mercurys" and sell them in a locked down display case made of 6-inch thick polycarbonate or toughened bulletproof glass. Then reduce the total number manufactured to a few hundred (up to an absolute maximum of 1000), and raise the price by at least an order of magnitude - to $3500 or maybe even $35K, to attract only the most pretentious customers with far more money than sense. This would more or less guarantee that none of those customers would ever do anything so mundane as actually wearing the shoes, even if they were somehow able to open the display case. This would therefore enable Nike to reduce the quality of materials used to a bare minimum (hence boosting profit-margins), since the "shoes" would no longer function as shoes at all - they would be ornamental at most.

The boots are 10 years old, the nonslip shoes are 7 years old, and the Crocs are also 10 years old. I don't replace them until a hole is worn all the way through the sole.

      To be fair, that's different. Nearly 0% of phone manufacturers have their own radios, so the baseband firmware is licensed in. They may not even have the source, but even if they did, they don't have the rights to open source it and all the docs are under NDA. There are exactly 0 LTE modems that are open in any way, forget the firmware, you can't even get docs for the API without an NDA. And no one is going to make one because a) OEMs have no reason to demand that and their volume is the only thing that counts, and b) patent holders/licensors for 4G/5G/6G won't allow it. It is incredibly sad. Also, VoLTE has blown for me at nearly all times.

      Very true. Here's my 2 cents as an Electronic Engineer - the NDAs on the radios are somewhat understandable - they can always argue they don't want you eavesdropping or transmitting at non-civil radio bands, and also the legal radio frequency differ all around the world - which is a big headache if you're desiging phones for global usage. Anyway, getting schematics to replace at least the f-ing battery or charging port should be enforced by law IMO, hopefully EU can pull that off in the future (they are already trying with the replaceable battery act to be implemented in 2027).

    My plumber wanted me to buy an automatic water shut-off for the house that was connected by WiFi. To what, I don't really know. The answer was no.

    • @berto1014

      That was the right thing to do. We all know the next step would have been that it would have shut your water off until you paid the app subscription ransom. I'm sure it's only feature it could have provided was to shut the water off if it detected a leak or something, right? I would have told the plumber there won't be any leaks if he does his job correctly. Even if it calculates how much water was used, who cares? The meter already does that.

      If you're not requiring a very strong/tight tieing of the laces there's also elastics - both the full length laces that you simply tightendown to taste once (but possible to adjust of needed, and individual pieces of elastic silicone for each pair of holes that you thread through and lock down. Less adjustable, but typically comes in slightly different lengths for each hole, and usually one or two more than sets of holes, so one can elect to not use the shortest/longest, for some adjustment.

      K, then don't make stuff you're not willing to maintain. You're essentially saying you're too lazy to do the job properly. Most of those requirements are to ensure your lousy app doesn't become a vulnerability or defunct due to using outdated deprecated libraries/APIs. If your app can't manage to pull in at least a buck or two per install to compensate you for that work then it probably wasn't worth making to begin with.

      I disagree. Full disclosure would also mean correcting ALL of their nomenclature involved with the product.
      You wouldn't be allowed to "Buy" these shoes, You would be "Temporarily renting the shoes as well as the function of tightening shoelaces and displaying LEDs, for an unspecified period of time that we (the manufacturer) may revoke whenever we want."
      Same for software. If software companies weren't allowed to use buy, and had to fully disclose that their software is temporary, and that you do not own it, you aren't entitled to it, and they will change the term of the sale after they have your money, people wouldn't give them money because they'd be put off by the fact that it would say "RENT" not "Buy"

      Problem is probably something like: they cobbled together a few lines on top of an example app that came with a proprietary library that the boss(*) of the IT department liked. Impossible to disentangle and disclosing the source would also reveal the large heap of spyware that's inside this library.
      (*)...you know, the guy who knows how to spell "kompjoodor" and nodded when some friend of the CEO bragged about "servers" (almost sounds like legal slaves! so that's cool.) - so he got hired to head that "IT" department that you need to get money from millennials.

I had to move to the database that the VP had paid employees to create, which was totally incompatible with the database we were using. I could have implemented an entire two-phase commit system, like they did between the old database and the new database that the *other* VP had created, but our VP didn't like to use that one. It was ... messy political. I implemented it to basically write to both databases, copied all the stuff from old to new, kept the two up to date... I figured it would be better to be down for 10 minutes while we turned off the old server, copied the changed records to the new database, and spun up the new server. Boss wanted me to just ignore that you can't have half your servers writing to the old database and half your servers writing to the new database and keep everything consistent.
      The old database was megastore, while the new one was F1. Megastore was not SQL, F1 was ... mostly SQL, with weird update rules. I think there's whitepapers for both.
