They don't claim that's 2.5M cancellations of paid subscriptions. It's "taken action". It's vague for a reason

It is amazing, but it does often give false positives. That probably can't be avoided, though

I like how the app shows reference calls/songs for detected birds so I can verify using my own judgement, or to figure out which birds are which when there's a lot of chirping going on.

They realized that and were pleased with themselves.

> The dashes do remove easy double-click copying, but we think this a fine trade off for readability. We don't want users copying and pasting them everywhere, in fact we want them to be handled with care. Ideally, users copy each key exactly once - when they generate the key from our dashboard - so we added a copy button to our UI to solve that case

Don't even think about copying/pasting that key, you rube!

This statement makes me never want to use their product.

I agree. They seem to focus on completely useless stuff that actively makes it worse to use.

Not only that, they are making the biggest mistake a company can do by telling their customers that what they are doing is wrong and that the company knows better than they do.

Could almost call it a staple of Sierra games.

I look forward to the next couple posts in this series: The Leaky Faucet Test and The Clogged Toilet Test.

I was hoping for the Office Fire Test.

If you're in the US, and can afford it, I think direct primary care is the way to go.

It doesn’t track streaks correctly. I have solved for the last 8 days. It shows 100% correct, but my current streak is 1 and longest streak 3

If you pay to subscribe, that does nothing to help with scammers, I promise you.

What could be done to stop scammers? One thing I believe would help is for the app to accurate reflect the person's geographical location, and if that person's geographical location changes wildly, to flag them and tell the viewer. "This person's geographical location cannot be assured." If more was done to verify and police location, it might lead to at least encountering less scammers.

What do you think?

Great question. Something like you suggest could help. I definitely think it's possible to do better, because some of the apps have a lot fewer fake profiles/scammers compared to say, Tinder.

I think there isn't enough incentive for some of them (again, Tinder) to bother. If enough people stop using them, maybe they will incentivized to do better.

Yes and no.

There were years that I would travel constantly for work. All around Europe, and later in US, India and a bit of China. I never use dating apps (and have exited the social media many years ago), so tracking my location would have me banned in two weeks. It will have to be very strict, to e.g. move to 3 cities in 1 day, where the cities are over 200km apart or something. Kinda like trying to catch the Pokemon-Go Android modded apps 'walking' cheaters.

With, of course, the minters of that coin taking the majority of the claims /s

Have you looked at the RAZ Memory Cell Phone? I've been considering that for my mom, who also has early stage dementia.

Thanks, that looks great, I'll see if they're in Australia yet.
