Review of fb

Facebook isn’t safe.

Supports animal cruelty, racism, sexism, fascism, by letting pages permit and post hateful crimes hate crimes in animal cruelty, homophobia racism. And every time I report this they tell me there’s nothing wrong with their page not to mention Facebook are constantly removing My comments if I’m commenting against racism and homophobia , Facebook tried to remove my comment even though there was nothing wrong with them, also Facebook supports adult activity pages people are creating pages linked to pornography and Facebook are not removing them, even though they are showing adult sexual content and services Facebook is supposed to be about community family to be a safe space and it is far from that.

I've been reading business publications for over a decade, and this site consistently delivers quality content that goes beyond surface-level reporting. The recent analysis of Testa's robotaxi competition wtih Waymo showed real understanding of market dynamics.

Review of amazon

As of 2023, I think AWS is still the best option

Full disclosure, I am an AWS cloud architect and consultant.In essence, if I were to recommend just one cloud platform, it would unquestionably be AWS.With 15 years of experience in software engineering, including 12 years dedicated to the realm of cloud computing, my journey through cloud platforms began with Windows Azure in 2011. I relied on it for five years to construct an e-commerce platform from the ground up. However, after this period, I became increasingly frustrated, particularly with Microsoft's product culture. It lacked openness, followed non-standard practices, imposed sudden and excessive price changes, exhibited poor performance, boasted terrible customer service, and was inundated with unhelpful sales representatives.Driven by this frustration, I transitioned to Google Cloud, which boasted a gentler learning curve and elegant abstractions. It proved faster and more cost-effective. Nevertheless, my stint with Google Cloud lasted only a year, as I encountered various limitations, particularly in the areas of networking and security.Around 2017, I made the full transition to AWS, and I haven't looked back since for those reasons:- Logical Networking: AWS offers networking that aligns seamlessly with standard engineering practices. What you see is what you get.- Minimal Abstraction: AWS maintains less abstraction compared to Microsoft or Google. Microsoft and Google tend to introduce new layers of abstraction to "simplify" usage for lambda users. However, this approach can be limiting. As scenarios grow in complexity, access to the underlying concepts becomes essential. Without this capability, users often find themselves trying to fit square pegs into round holes with Microsoft and Google.- Open-Source Friendliness: AWS is notably open-source friendly, allowing for flexibility and collaboration.- Versatility: There are no use cases that AWS cannot address. While Microsoft may claim to offer similar capabilities, it often falls short.Rating AWS has become increasingly challenging in recent times due to intensified competition with its primary rivals, Microsoft and Google, particularly in the wake of the AI disruption. Microsoft, in particular, has gained significant momentum through its partnership with OpenAI. While OpenAI is currently the foremost AI company in the world as of September 2023, this doesn't guarantee that Microsoft will capitalize on this opportunity to deliver exceptional products.Out of all the reviews I've posted on TrustPilot, this one may appear the most biased, as I've had a deeply unsatisfactory experience with Microsoft in general. Presently, I earn my livelihood by crafting solutions on AWS. My final argument against Microsoft (I don't hold the same reservations about Google Cloud, as I believe they offer excellent services, some even superior to AWS) centers around the DNA of companies:- Microsoft's DNA: Primarily driven by sales. Their emphasis on sales often takes precedence over product quality. This has been ingrained in their culture, despite Satya Nadella's commendable efforts to embrace open-source, promote cloud and AI. Ultimately, Microsoft products tend to feel as if they were built by salespeople rather than engineers dedicated to solving legitimate problems.- Google's DNA: Designed primarily to serve Google's own needs. Google Cloud's initial client is Google itself. When I use Google Cloud, I often find that a service addresses a specific Google issue, but seldom does it offer a solution to broader enterprise problems. Admittedly, enterprise problems may lack the excitement of other challenges, but they still need resolution.- AWS: Forged by engineers, catering to engineers. AWS stands as the original cloud company, established to tackle enterprise automation at scale. While their products and services may not be as straightforward to use as those of their counterparts, I firmly believe that AWS is the sole platform capable of elegantly resolving intricate engineering and networking challenges.In closing:- Microsoft: Promises effortless and cost-effective cloud solutions, but in reality, they often become overly complex and prohibitively expensive.- Google: Offers a cloud solution that appears relatively straightforward and budget-friendly, but in reality, it proves to be more challenging and costly than initially advertised.- AWS: Presents cloud solutions for professionals at a reasonable cost, though in practice, costs may exceed initial expectations. While each of these providers may occasionally stretch the truth, AWS, in my estimation, does so the least.

Review of bestbuy

Terrible after sales service

Dreadful experience when buying a DVD from Best Buy. The DVD arrived promptly, but was faulty. When I contacted Best Buy for a refund/replacement, they stalled me. Eventually they accepted there was a problem, but refused to make a replacement and offered me a 'refund' of £1. Avoid this company!

Review of playstation

Non-existent customer service – boycotting PS

Playstation is apparently very happy to scam its customers out of money when they move country. They have made it impossible to change the country of your account, meaning you can't add a bank account from your new country, and the only solution seems to be to make a second account and pay for a duplicate subscription if you want to keep playing online games that you have on each account.When I tried to ask for help from customer support (by the way, whose only form of customer support is a Twitter profile?), I was repeatedly ignored. If Playstation cares so little about providing an acceptable quality of service to its customers, it won't have me as one – I've canceled my subscription and will be avoiding the PS brand from now on.

Review of Stack Overflow

Deleted my account after 13 years

I wrote this review before reading the others so it would not be biased in any way, yet I find my comments echoed in almost all the other reviews, there is definitely a big issue with moderators on the site, bullying and belittleing appear to be rampant and as someone of 68 I have no wish to be in that kiddies playground any longer. I would suggest DANIWEB.COM for programing questions.I had been quite happily with this site from 2007 but recently one particular moderator has twice insulted answers I have given by saying they add nothing, followed by offensive comments, it might not to the moderator gods but it does to the average user. I give a simple solution to the user problem rather than the complex ones moderators love, as they can show their amazing brilliance. A person asking a question wants a simple answer not an ego, most of my posts slipped past this one moderator and I get approval, but I have had enough with his childish behaviour and arrogant attempt at bullying, I have been around long enough to know it for what it is and a call centre operator, I have done my due diligence on him, has less knowledge than I have in my middle finger. I am there to help others not praise an ego. Flagging isn't a solution as you don't even know which moderator rejects the flag, probably the very one I appear to have upset somehow, I don't him, never met him and I am very pleased I never will, as my public put down would seriously damage his ego. So I have just left with them comfirming it, they really need to sort out their processes for flagging, it must be transparent, reasons given and by WHOM, ideally it should never be a moderator. As for being elected, they get appointed by the system on a points basis, there is no election.The site will slide into oblivion but hopefully another site will spring up so that people can help each other again, no matter how trivial the question appears to the superior being, to the person asking it isn't trivial.
