  • I think it’s a matter of worktype. If people only use it for something where they don’t/can’t verify the result, like a search engine, they’ll assume it’s always correct, but if you use it for something where you don’t have a choice verifying it, like your example which is very easily visually checked, you get to see everything it fucks up.

    It’s also about workload. Give it something small that any idiot could do with a few google searches, like putting together a formula in Excel, it’ll likely do it without fucking it up 99% of the time. But something more complex with more parametres, will have a higher chance to fail spectacularly.

    I’ve had it happen with a few Lenovo laptop chargers. Razer mice though, were especially bad at this 10 years ago. Haven’t owned a Razer product since then though, but I’d go through 2 cables per year because of this. Haven’t lost a single cable since changing to other brands though.

    If the restaurant doesn’t serve the same food as their neighbor, why would they lose money to them? And if the restaurant DOES serve the same food as their neighbour, they are fucking stupid.

    A common example though: A McDonalds Big Mac costs costs about $5.99 in , in Denmark it costs about $7. But in Denmark the worker is paid a minimum of $21. On top of that, they get paid maternity/paternity leave. The worker pays 2% of their pay into their pension fund, while the restaurant pays 11%. They get paid sickleave, they get 6 weeks of fully paid vacation per year. I could go on and on about workers rights that cost a lot of money for a business, but that somehow doesn’t mean they have to raise prices.

    If that’s possible for pretty much the same price of a burger, then the margins aren’t really as thin as you’ve been led to believe, but they make a hell of a lot more money by making you believe their lies.
