Why have the money taken out of my bank account for a purchase made today when I can pay it without penalty 60 days later and let the money grow in my brokerage account.
Along with the usual answers like cash bank/points/consumer protection, it also decouples spending from "pay day".
Was, maybe - i wouldn't touch anything Samsung with a ten foot pole.
Household appliance we got are all Siemens/Bosch (same group - BSH) and i couldn't be happier. They last a long time, are reasonably priced, available and if you go all in price-wise also got the latest and greatest and fanciest features...
I'll point out that Samsung is a massive organisation that builds everything from TVs to Artillery to Ships.
10 years ago I bought a Samsung 4k TV, Bluray+Surround system, Fridge and front-load washing machine at roughly the same time.
All of them are still working.
The washing machine is flawless, despite being basically neglected most of the time.
The fridge is great so long as you don't over-crowd it.
The TV and surround system look and sound great, but the software got worse after purchase and they now work better as 'dumb' devices. HDMI CEC audio dropouts went away when I switched to Optical.
I will in the next 6-ish months be replacing the TV and surround system, but not with Samsung despite their still amazing looking TVs, I don't trust their software not to do dumb/annoying things.
Not only they become, if they cross specific size, different government agencies are more interested in you as you have impact and they formally or not, trying to force you to apply this tactics.
Many jr devs cite this model to me. Every new hire after on boarding looking to make an impact cites this. And I’m getting tired of explaining why this model is not always a good idea.
And we’re building apps that have multiple versions in the wild.
Web-only access to iCloud lets you share and collaborate with others in real time on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, even if they don't have access to an Apple device. That means you can invite anyone to share a file. Then they can use their web-only account to access the file and make edits, without leaving iCloud.”
I don't know about those other things, but Pages is horribly and notoriously incompatible with anything except itself. You can't share a Pages document with a Windows or Linux user, or a non-Pages user for that matter.
I don't know if Pages has robust export capabilities, but if Apple wants to compete, they had better start blatting out compatible file formats by default and stop with the vendor lock-ins.
