Looks like product names to me. It’s certainly confusing at least, which is an issue either way.

This is almost exactly what I said when I was asked to install end-to-end protection software into my laptop as a freelancer. I stood my ground and they understood. They initially said they would send me another laptop to work from, but eventually relented on the requirements altogether and just limited my access to customer data.

If the project is already in AWS then it has to be downloaded outside the network at least once. I think s3 is one of the cheapest methods to server files on aws. There is no benefit to a secondary service.

BunnyCDN does look good though.

I have a similar issue.

On any portfolio site I've attempted to build, I really dislike using the word "I" (e.g. "I can help you build a website!").. but using "we" seems disingenuious. (e.g. "We can help you with your programming woes!").

Recently though, I'm leaning towards "we" because it's better business-speak, the "we" seems less risky, and it may not be factually incorrect if you ever outsource any work.

Generally, I tend to avoid writing copy that uses pronouns altogether.

Amazing post/reply. Your comments mostly echo how I run my business and are a nice reminder for me that what I'm doing works! :)

I think there is an art to marrying the idea of billing hourly and fixed-price projects.

For me, projects are estimated and estimated are approved by the client. I will do my best to ensure work is completed within that time frame. However, if more work than estimated is required to complete a project, it is my responsibility to notify the client as soon as possible. I will provide an estimate for the time I believe necessary to complete the job, and the client will approve this new estimate. Me all agree to this up-front; it's in the Statement of Work. Always have a Statement of Work!

Not trying to spam, but OP please check my direct reply to your original post. I think Toshiba Twitter support wants to help.

Hey man. I can't figure out how to direct message you. I contacted Toshiba via twitter and asked for a comment. They said they would investigate. You may want to contact them directly.

Support says they've passed the matter to "customer service mgmt. Expecting a response on Monday."

These dudes: @ToshibaUSAhelp

This TV has significant trickle. I tested it with a Killa-Watt. You might be thinking of an energystar rating or something?

Yeah, this is what I suspect meetings about this product line were like too. Everyone's talking about the hardware, and everyone is pissed off what what the "software guys" want the hardware to do. "We have to support what?" "With how much memory?!" etc.

This is exactly what they should have done. Instead, they tied everything into their clunky UI.

The built-in Plex stuff is cool, but suffers all the same problems as the rest of the TV. People are better off with a dumb display + Apple TV.

Yeah, tell me about it.Have you tried a logitech harmony yet? That'd my next step.

Also, I've been using the LG iPhone app to control the pointer & clicking via touchscreen over the network. It does most of what I want, and has a "built-in" input button!

Agreed! At the time, this TV was a great deal, even when compared to non-smart models. Now I'd gladly take the feature-hit to have a more responsive UI.
