I had two of these, and loved them. One died and fossil outright replaced it, zero cost to me 1.5 years into the warranty, and battery changes were free in-store. Unfortunately the app support went downhill and the second watch became borderline unusable. Really bums me out because they were SO practical and functional, and I feel like a ton of people would embrace them if they had better marketing/support.

Lmao see? It's a dumb fuckin logo! It's so bad that it's ranked up Google searches for what "KN" cars were.

But like I said that's also probably part of the point. They wanted to disassociate from the stigma they had in prior decades. No better way to do that than give yourself a new logo so weird that nobody even realizes that it even spells "Kia".

I just see backwards N but either way I'm on team "it looks stupid" personally.

But people talk about it, which I can't recall people doing for other logos so, guess it's working.

Bro I think you have either exceptionally bad taste, or an almost inhuman tolerance for the putrescent. Probably both actually.

Hey genuine question what does everyone use for office apps these days? I'm extremely over being charged a yearly fee to use word and excel

Well that's just silly. Most animals don't even have bank accounts!

That's true, but that's not what a drop in the bottom line means in this context. If you reduce quality, you also reduce your cost of production. So you're right if there's no change in sales numbers at all, you were spending too much on something you didn't need, and you made a good adjustment. But more often, these adjustments weigh the drop in sales vs the increase in profit that results from the lower cost. If the expected drop in revenue is offset by the increase in take home, they don't care and keep it that way. What's really shitty is that once the revenue trend stabilizes and customers adapt to the new lowered quality, there's nearly always a price increase.

No, it's quite literally not. Click the article, read the article all the way. Including the last paragraph. Where my quote is from.

Then read the recall. Then lookup the part. See what it is? Oh, it's the entire latch assembly. Good job! Proud of you sweetie. 😘 Keep licking those musky boots!

Yes, good point.

The comments read like a lot of people don't quite understand the issue....There's no issue with the actual latching mechanism.

..."Although the problem is with the hood latch" <--- literally from the article. Care to re-read?

It's just the sensor for reporting the latching state.

You skipped over the part where a) the latch is deforming, and as a result of that deformation b) the sensor can't detect that it's not closed, and so c) Tesla is pushing an update that lets people know their deformed latch isn't closed properly.

But yes, we all misread the article. Not you. Definitely not you.

 

Excellent long form article on Kyle Shanahan and the origins of his revolutionary offensive scheme.
