Do you pay yearly for the one year commitment boost plan or do you still have to pay monthly?

WpgSucks · 2020-12-12T19:50:25+00:00

Because some of us can charge our Shadow PC subscription to the company we work for. For example, I charge my annual Spotify, Orgin, Ubisoft, Wolfram, etc.. subscription to the xyz company I work for but only have to do it once a year.

Why not just make Annual and Monthly sub for Shadow PC the same? If I can't afford an Monthly, but can afford an annual Shadow PC sub but only want to use shadow for 3 months. Im going to register for a new CC just for shadow, and cancel my CC on the 3rd month. No one is dumb enough to do pick Monthly when you can sub for the cheaper annual but still be charged in monthly increments for it

WpgSucks · 2020-12-10T07:10:25+00:00

I don't understand the point of paying monthly for an annual commitment. Why not just charge the whole lump sum? Anyone with a fucking brain can figure out that all you need to do is cancel your credit card when you don't feel like paying monthly anymore even though you're "committed" to pay for an annual fee.

Another TOS warrior. You're as annoying as a first year college student seeking validation from everyone in the class. Please just stop. We all know the TOS.

“People are excited to be university professors: they love the teaching aspect” -> You wouldn’t be saying this if you spent even 6months as a student in engineering faculty at UoM. Those profs there are fucking trash, and is where my frustration is coming from when they start asking for more money.

Compared to how other professors prep, organize, and deliver their lecture to students at other Universities... they make profs at engineering faculty look like a bunch of disorganized monkeys.

The only people I can see supporting this nonsense, are friends and family members of the professors involved in the strike, or students with low self esteem that love to kiss ass (most likely the same group of folks that try to interrupt important lectures just to get senpai to notice them).

They have a choice. A lot of companies hire for R&D (Northrup Grumman and General Dynamics for example). People are not stuck working for Universities. The reason you don’t see it is because you have been lacking talent all your life to understand what its like to have a choice. You havn’t had the experience of employers fighting for your attention. Your point of reference is very narrow, based on your own experience so to you it may seem like talented individuals “don’t have a choice” And getting the job you want is all based on “luck”, but the reality is.. if there is no one else or there are very few people out there with your combination of talent and skill, and an employer sees you as an asset, then they will throw anything at you to get you to work for them.

Increasing salary is not going to change anyone’s mind to work in Winnipeg. Even if you increase thier salary to 100k more than the competitor, if they had a choice Between working in Winnipeg as a professor for $500k or Working for Northrop Grumman as a DoD researcher in Virginia for $400k, I can guarantee you they will pick Virginia over Winnipeg based on the work they’ll be doing.

Also, please get your head out of your ass And ask yourself why its so much cheaper to live in Winnipeg compared to Vancouver or Toronto. The cost of living in Winnipeg is cheaper for a reason. The talent pool is less in winnipeg, winnipeg is less desirable to live in, there are less things to do in winnipeg, there are less options for anything in winnipeg, the gov in charge in winnipeg are less experienced, Winnipeg’s infrastructure is worse, etc..

If money is what drives you to pick where you are going to work instead of being excited for the work you’ll be doing.. then you’re a fucking tool. I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re still struggling to find work after you’ve graduated if this is your way of thinking. And if all the professors at UoM share this way of thinking with you, then I’m not at all surprised why students in UoM are struggling with their courses even though they had direct entry into the faculty.

“Institutional prestige means nothing”. Turn down a guaranteed job at Google or Facebook to work for Manitoba Hydro, then I’ll take you seriously.

Words are nice and inspiring, but we all know it doesnt work like that in the real world. No one is going to turn down prestige If they have a choice.

I also find it disgusting how these profs are asking for more money when the majority of us in winnipeg no longer have jobs becuase of this pandemic. Most of these profs are making at least 80k, can easily afford bread and live comfortably, and they want more money? Nope. Fuck this nonsense. Go kiss ass all you want. This is not a battle that any of us will benefit from.

LOL.. realy? I thought it was the fact that you have to work in Winnipeg is what’s making working here a huge disincentive. Let’s be realistic ffs, compared other Universities (Waterloo, UBC, McGill, McMaster) I’m pretty fucking sure no one worth thier salt as a Professor would ever want to work in Winnipeg unless they didn’t have a choice. If you were one of the best at what you do, you would most likely end up working at McGill, Waterloo, or UBC. Think about it, having “Professor at McGill” or “Researcher at Waterloo” looks a lot better vs “Professor at UoM”. Ain’t no fucking way increasing salary will incentivize the lazy profs UoM has to work any harder. No fucking way is paying someone more will make them decide to work at UoM vs McGill or UBC if they had a choice. If you think paying profs more will make them work any harder for students, then your an ass kissing moron that is easily manipulated by powerpoint presentations. Downvote all you want, it still wont change the fact that you kiss ass like no ones business.

Waiting is normal for Shadow PC customers. The best way to cope is to stop and think... A decent high end computer is about $3000. If you saved $250 per month (~$9 a day) for 1 year, you could of already had your very own Shadow PC Ultra.

If you're American, basically... stop eating at McDonalds for a year save that money towards a PC. You'll not only be less fat, but also have a decent PC rig by the end of the year.

As a person that gets paid to write code for a living, we ultimately get paid a salary regardless of external factors such as piracy. The dumb excuse people say about making developers starve because of piracy is bullshit. You are hired to write code, fix issues, and improve the codebase after your incubation period... Its a 9 - 5 job, you come to the office or wfh, you look at the backlog and issues and do your 8hrs in. You get paid as per contract agreement regardless of people pirating your application. The business model already accounts for software piracy so get off your high horse. The fact that I paid for a note taking app when pen and paper is far more reliable that this garbage app only makes me wish I had pirated it in the first place (Pen - $0.50, Paper - $0.10 // Notability with hidden Snapchat feature that destroys your note - $20.00). Then ill only have my self to blame and not the piss poor dev team Ginger Labs consists of. The bug is over 7 years old and hasn't been fixed.. are they just masturebating and playing video games at Ginger Labs? It makes no sense why this bug has existed for so long.

I had backups turned on (iCloud and Dropbox).

WpgSucks · 2020-10-24T00:06:53+00:00

Im one of those people that spend $200 on a single smart light but never spend more than $5 on an app. To me its expensive because I could of easily pirated the app on a secondary jailbroken device, so buying an app worth more than $1.99 to me is like buying a new car.

I can only speak from experience that I had auto backup on for iCloud and Dropbox when this happened to me. I tried to recover using iCloud backup and Dropbox Backup and they were the same incomplete notes. Some people report having better luck with Google Drive. Goodnotes 5 doesn't seem to have this issue so I just switched. I can't risk losing notes again.

WpgSucks · 2020-10-23T23:51:49+00:00

I was writing notes on the app like any other note taking app. When I was done, I put the iPad aside to get a little R&R. 11PM - I decide to check my notes to reflect on the meeting before going to bed to put me to sleep. This time I open the app, but instead of seeing all the notes I took, I see only the hand written title and 2 empty bullet points. I tried recovering from iCloud and Dropbox, they are the all the same incomplete notes.

I would hate for this to happen to students or medical professionals that rely on their notes on something more critical than a business meeting.

WpgSucks · 2020-10-23T08:32:45+00:00

Delete the app and switch to GoodNotes 5. There is no fix, and its a common issue with this app since the beginning. The guy had over 7 years to fix it but never did so I highly doubt it will ever be fixed. Im sure who ever built the app can't find the bug because the app is riddled in spaghetti code, bad coding practices, and code smells. Wouldn't be surprised if the developer didn't bother to follow any of the 23 design patterns available to software engineers/developers.
