merriam-webster has something on the lower part of the page.
it seems very close to what others have said: dork is the generally awkward fellow. nerd is the hobbyist who sacrificed socializing to the art. geek are the nerds with some niche circle.
why go for RAMs when the constitution says ARMs…
and no more bits or bytes too, double bytes small or quadbytes regular size all the way.
kilo bytes is a grand
mega bytes is a venti
giga bytes is a grand venti
terabytes is a doble venti
really large amounts of ARM is a ton

are you feeling it Mr. Crabs?
for the ones missing the marvelous HTML, I gotchu bro:

Thank you very much! These answers are very insightful.
I think these points brought the point home on why some of their decisions seem absurd for me:
ads are common in mobile games and mobile games are trying to sell to people already playing mobile games
Once they’ve peaked, they’ve “served their purpose” in the companies eyes.
On top of that, by the time the game comes out, people likely won’t remember the ad, and they very likely won’t remember it was a bait.
mobile player pool is gargantuan
the market research aspect makes sense. but why go the roundabout way of surveying? isn’t it counterproductive to lose users this way?
the secret sauce is in the double dip.
where’s hackerman when we need him?
That sucks.
I hope you don’t catch it again. Things will be more tougher in the future as countries being pushed by businesses will downplay this more.
imo, the subscription style is the evolution of “planned obsolescence”.
people are willing to give money if the goods have an expiration. so instead of the goods expiring, the concept of validity of the goods now expire. same money, but saves on making different goods altogether.
Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll try it when I stumble on some.
you have a good point with “use” as a differentiator.
this is similar to buying non-potable water vs potable, with pretty much the potable water being more expensive.
I think it’s within reasonable bounds because the extra cost comes from the added iodine or the minute minerals in maldon to add the extra taste.
Thanks for the input on the salt, I’ll try it again and see what I am missing on the cavey sensation.
You have a good point with electric sources being a differentiator. This is like with watered bottles saying their water comes from a natural spring in a mountain.
Here’s another viewpoint to that, if you will: maybe you are paying a mark up for the source (or the assurance of such source, depending on the marketing) and the pure commodity itself doesn’t have to be marked up for it.
As for internet, I think quality happens because businesses tier it to be. And, of course, with pure internet you have to pay for what amount you have used. I still don’t think you need to go full bells and whistles as it is more reasonable to just pay what you used. I understand though that some areas don’t have much choice on this.
this is where your-mileage-may-vary(ymmv) comes in.
I am sure everybody has different preferences to things and the point still comes across. You might still splurge on to some preferences but “better version” doesn’t mean the “expensive” bells-and-whistles one.
I am happy reading each comment and knowing how people treat their salt, coffee and internet with different kinds of values.
I totally agree and it’s within reasonable bounds.
salt
table salt, iodized salt, himalayan… they’re all the same for me. I don’t think my taste buds are adapted to the subtle differences so cheaper ones are better.
show-off jewelry, wallet, purses
showing off jewelry is an invitation to be mugged (again, imo. ymmv) so the cheaper ones are the better options.
coffee
if only you’re fine with cheaper ways to wake yourself.
wax-based lip balm
anything beeswax is good. then again ymmv since people can be allergic
pure or as-is things like land, electricity, internet, water, oxygen cans, gas/ heating, alcohol (disinfectant)
i think there’s something called aspnet, dolphin and badger.
also cowball for the artistic license.
