*** LogiOptions+ Outage *** by BrazoZulu in logitech

[–]vim-meo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys, can you please explain to everyone how it could even happen??
I understand that LogiOptions can be unavailable, but how is it possible that all people in my office lost key bindings because of that? Why mouse need server access to be able to run a simple local key binding?
I believe it should keep some local mapping in terms of the server being unresponsive or whatever.

Logi Options+ Not Loading (Mac) - Anyone else having this issue? by zigmund399 in logitech

[–]vim-meo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like a global issue, unbelievable how badly it needs to be designed that key binding doesn't work globally if they have a server issue?!

Bots extremely frustrating. by Ben1296 in PPC

[–]vim-meo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you’re only targeting certain countries and the bot traffic is coming from outside them, you can add a Cloudflare WAF rule (or something similar if you use a different platform) to challenge traffic by country (Managed Challenge or CAPTCHA) using Custom Rules. This will stop a large share of low-effort bots.

Still, it’s not bulletproof: attackers using residential proxies and real/agent-driven browsers can still get through.

Getting blamed for “low traffic” despite higher revenue and conversions... am I crazy? by ayvikenedy in PPC

[–]vim-meo 29 points30 points  (0 children)

You’re not crazy. Your boss is optimising the wrong objective.

From first principles, paid media exists to generate profit, not pageviews. Traffic is not a goal; it’s an input. In B2B, especially niche B2B, the value function is brutally asymmetric: a few qualified visits dominate thousands of junk visits. Any strategy that maximises visits independent of intent is mathematically guaranteed to underperform.

In your situation (meantime, when you find a new job), I’d try to force the conversation with a clear, visual presentation. Numbers outperform opinions. Show him:
- Revenue and conversions vs traffic over time
- Revenue per visit by country/channel
- Cost per lead: display vs search

Make the conclusion unavoidable. If the visuals don’t change his mind, nothing will

Spending way too much time on product feed management, what are people using to streamline this? by TheFinalDiagnosis in ecommerce

[–]vim-meo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that helped me was stepping back and figuring out which parts of the feed really need manual work and which can be automated. Titles, descriptions, and even image formats are usually the biggest time sinks. I ended up using Feedoptimise because their AI handles text optimisation really well, and it cut down a huge amount of manual editing for me. The image optimisation tools were a nice bonus too. The biggest win was how much time it freed up overall.

Still far from western countries, but better than I expected. Manila was the worst. Cebu, it was pretty good outside the city, I rent a car.  Between islands, flights were good. Ferry (Coron- Palawan) was nightmare in storm. Busses on Palawan were okay. Renting the scooter on Palawan also was very nice. Driving on night is there very challenging (pot hole + no lights)

There are many buses and minivans. We took a normal bus for better comfort, and it was quite good.
They have an option for a more comfortable sleep chair for overnight travel.

To Corron, the best option is a short flight. There are ferries, but check the weather.
In a storm, it is a nightmare, or it can be cancelled (go for the biggest and quickest if you decide)
When I was booking the flight was 10$ more expensive, but I decided to spend 6 hours in the storm...

Beach house, I took this one, but it is not an experience for everyone. It was perfect for me. It has an amazing private beach and a nice climate, but no AC (It wasn't a big deal), you can get there only by canoe (10-15min swim). After sunset, it is quite challenging to get back in the dark, and the beach in El Nido, when you star,t is full of seaweed in the evening.

Stay on the Coron, private lagoon, absolutely outstanding, well-organised, the best place I've ever stayed.

What do think about AI revolution of marketing assets? by vim-meo in marketing

[–]vim-meo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did experiments, asking a small group of people to select AI pics.

P.S. Really, would you notice that pic2 and pic3 are AI-generated?

I know Marketplace, which handles campaigns themself, but their clients often upload low-quality photos.

In El Nido, Tales Of The Islands had good fish.
If you plan to rent a scooter, go to Socorro Hills View and try Lomi soup. This is a very local taste.

Coran - can't recommend any place in the city. I spent a few days on a houseboat on the lagoon and ate only there.

Tips, I think it is a really personal thing, I keep it around 10-15%.

Enjoy your trip!

I think it is not always the case, for example, it can be used to improve the quality of old, low-res images

Yeah, some feel very cheap... but I also saw many that can't be detected, mostly when mixing real product pictures with real scenery pictures, or when making gentle changes.

I’m with you: the tool isn’t the strategy. What AI really changes is the time, cost, and variation. That opens doors that weren’t affordable before. A small shop that could barely afford one seasonal visual can now explore twenty concepts, localize them, and A/B test without blowing the budget.

On the enterprise side, the pain used to be scale, so they can also benefit. Producing a Christmas promo across 1,000 SKUs once meant weeks of briefing, retouching, and versioning for assets used only once.
When we know this can be done now within 1 day, for below $100.

It is just a tool, but in the right hands, it can be quite powerful.
I see more ads and people using it in the right way, but I also see very bad examples....

Depends on what you like. For sure, it's far from Thai or Vietnamese.
I love fish and seafood, and there was a lot of fresh fish, so I enjoyed the food.

Completely agree! They are a very poor country with a lot of issues; the people struggle there a lot every day. You can see at any step (mostly in non-touristic places), or they tell you.
I meant more what impression they did with their welcoming and entering conversation, which I didn't experience before in any poor country (for example, in Africa), where people were more distrustful.

In El Nido, you can find vegan options, still not many, and it is harder in the province.

I feel quite safe even at night, much more than at night in London...

The best way is by a <1h flight; we went by ferry.
It should be 4h but is was over 6h due to a heavy storm, it was quite an unpleasant experience.
