  • Easyship

7/23/21

Easyship is by far the best shipping platform I've used. The only issue I have is that it places duplicate tracking information into my orders. However, that issue could be a conflict with a shipping tracking plugin I use. Regardless, the interface is very easy to navigate and has all the features that you need to create and print shipping labels. You can also set it up to notify your customers of tracking statuses, pickup and delivery confirmations, and other useful tools.

Tip for consumers:
You get $50.00 to use towards your shipping labels upon signup. Easyship has a few subscription plans including a free plan.

  • WordPress

7/23/21

Wordpress is the #1 CMS in the world. Wordpress core is highly secure so when you read reviews saying Wordpress is not secure, that's 100% false. Wordpress needs plugins to work for the average user and a theme. With that said, your Wordpress site does become more vulnerable because it allows the use of third-party plugins and themes.

Wordpress.org has a large plugin repository. All plugins are reviewed for vulnerabilities. You should be getting your plugins from the Wordpress.org repository. The plugins listed on Wordpress.org are free with some having freeium features.

Yes, Wordpress is safe. Just make sure you are cautious when using a theme or plugin. Research the authors of the plugins and themes, read reviews and stay on top of UPDATES! Easy right?

Tip for consumers:
Wordpress.org is the community driven version to Wordpress.com.

  • Origin

7/22/21

Origin is the worst thing to ever happen to EA games. Origin is slow and the games sometimes don't launch. Trying to contact support is impossible. You will spend 30 minutes trying to submit a ticket then when you do, you will never get a response. Don't even bother with their live chat. You will be put in a "queue" that doesn't exist. I literally was in "live" chat for 24hrs waiting for an EA Customer Service Agent. I went to "live" chat, waited 15 minutes, decided that it doesn't work so then I went to bed. Woke up the next day, still "waiting" so I went to work. Came back from work 9 hours later, guess what? Yep! Still waiting!

Tip for consumers:
Don't buy a game published by EA.

  • Steam

7/22/21

Steam always have BETA games on their launcher that never make it to release. So you purchase a game that is in development and it shut downs in 30 days. You just wasted your money. Steam does not refund you the money back because you pass a hourly threshold of gameplay.

Do not bother with Steam or any games on Steam. If a game developer uses both a standalone launcher and Steam, go with their standalone. You will save yourself from getting headaches trying to get into the game.

Tip for consumers:
Stay away, save yourself the headaches.

  • Time Magazine

7/22/21

I guess Time hires activists to write their bias-based articles. This magazine has gone downhill rapidly in the past decade. They publish articles that have false information and/or they push opinionated articles as "fact." What happened with this magazine? It used to be somewhat good, now it's just really annoying and irritating to read, let alone look at.

Tip for consumers:
If you want to read published articles by activists and not journalists then Time Magazine is for you.

  • AfterShip

7/22/21

AfterShip is not a good shipping tracking platform for eCommece stores other than Shopify. It's behind on expansion. It has other eCommerce platform integrations, like for WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and some others.

Anyway, the integration for Shopify is streamlined and you can control everything from one window/interface. Any other integration, you need to bounce back and forth between multiple interfaces, including their old outdated interface.

Tip for consumers:
I don't recommend AfterShip. Research other shipping platforms for better service and quality.

  • BioWare

7/22/21

BioWare totally sank. Star Wars: The Old Republic went from being an above average MMO to literally a crap show within 5 years of launch. Their Mass Effect series went downhill too. It's just total poor quality games. Even Dragon Age went down the toilet. I'm not even going to mention Anthem, that was one of the biggest flops in gaming history. Just stop making games or ditch EA.

Tip for consumers:
BioWare is run by Electronic Arts (EA)

  • Discord

7/22/21

Discord is the best VoIP in existence. It has a lot of amazing features and they are always implementing new ones. The great thing about Discord is creating communities. I am in a couple of gaming communities on Discord and the servers are set up by the admins that provide you all the information you need. You can create text channels for written topics (e.g. Guides, screenshots, general information) or create voice channels to talk to friends or other players.

You can use Discord for nearly anything. The great thing about Discord are their screen share, video call and live stream features. You can troubleshoot issues with other people easily using any of those features.

You can integrate applications and bots to Discord using their API. This feature helps improve your server workflow by decreasing human interaction and you can set up bots to moderate the server. Discord is essential for gaming communities.

Tip for consumers:
Discord also has a monthly subscription called Nitro for extra paid features.

  • LiveJournal

7/22/21

Are we still living in early 2000? LiveJournal was great back in the past. The website looks archaic even after some revamps. It's 2021, update the design and layout to be more modern. Some aspects and elements have been updated over time but it's still atrocious to look at. However, it does what it's meant to do. I guess that's a plus. I can't get back into using LiveJournal. Sorry.

Tip for consumers:
You're better off making a Wordpress website to blog.

IGN
  • IGN

7/22/21

IGN is one of my go to places for game-related information, reviews and trailers. However, I think they should just stick to game-related stuff and step away from movie information and reviews. If I want to read movie reviews or information on movies, I will go to IMDb. Anyway, overall, IGN is a good website to visit.

Tip for consumers:
If you want game-related information or catch the newest game trailer, check out IGN.

  • DuckDuckGo

7/22/21

It's not as fast as Bing but probably the same load speed as Google from my experience. DuckDuckGo just doesn't really pop out for me. There is nothing innovative about it. It's just an average search engine. If you're an average person, by all means, this search engine is for you.

Tip for consumers:
Just an average search engine, nothing special about it.

  • Bing

7/22/21

I been using Bing lately and it's much faster than Google. It doesn't have the features that Google has but as for as search results go, Bing just loads everything fast. Bing is just a great alternative to Google. Also, Bing's landing page looks better than Google's. I definitely recommend it.

Tip for consumers:
If you're looking for an alternative search engine to Google, Bing is it.

  • Ventrilo

7/22/21

Ventrilo is a garbage VoIP. To be honest, who still uses this? This isn't early 2000. Ventrilo is literally a step below TeamSpeak but was a step above Raidcall. It serves a purpose of providing voice chat but with terrible latency. The website looks like it's from 1998 so I can imagine just how the program interface still looks. Yiiiikes.

Tip for consumers:
TeamSpeak is an alternative to Ventrilo.

  • Google

7/22/21

Google's algorithms suppress certain outlets/websites. They are known to favor large businesses and suppress small businesses. The Wall Street Journal investigated this and has an article about it here: https://on.wsj.com/3wXGxDM.

Bussiness Insider also has an article on Google manipulating search results. You can read it here: https://www.businessinsider.com/google-manipulates-search-results-report-2019-11.

This type of behavior should worry everyone..

Tip for consumers:
If you are worried about your search results being hidden, look for an alternative search engine.

The service is just garbage. The value is just garbage. Everything about them is just garbage. Want drop calls all the time? Want slow internet speeds and bad connections? Want to deal with poor customer service that have no technical expertise? Then get Vodafone to make your life miserable. I do not recommend.

Stay away.

  • Instagram

Instagram does what it was made for—you upload a picture, get hearts, and get comments. Now you're ready to upload the next picture! Easy! You can also upload a "story" that is basically 15 seconds of pictures or video that last 24hrs. You can edit these to add graphics and music. Pretty cool stuff.

  • YouTube

7/22/21

I have multiple playlists of hundreds of songs in each that I would never even heard of or listen to if it wasn't for YouTube. I love how they have movies to buy or rent too. I would give YouTube 5 stars but some of those old movies to buy are $16.99 when the same ones are less than $4.99 at the corner drugstore. Also, you get a hard copy for that low price!

  • Burger King

Verified purchase

I tried, a few times. I really did! I gave Burger King multiple chances and every time, they failed. I ordered the Whopper with large fries and every time, it's cold. I even tried multiple Burger Kings. They are all the same. When I order hot food, it shouldn't be cold and I definitely shouldn't have to throw it in the microwave to heat it back up.

  • Lamborghini

7/21/21

I recently became the proud owner of a Lamborghini Aventador! What a hit to the bank. I sold my Ferrari F8 Spider then used the money towards the Aventador. The Aventador is an extremely nice car. It's a lot more aggressive than the F8. I got used to the F8, it had power and elegance all wrapped up in one. The Aventador is brute power and intimidating. It's definitely a noticeable change and the adaptation to the new comfort and ride will take time.

This is in no way a bash to the Lamborghini. The car is fantastic. The quality and design are great, and the features are amazing. The upkeep and maintenance are more time consuming and expensive with the Aventador than my previous supercar.

Tip for consumers:
If you like exotic/supercars with power, the Lamborghini Aventador is the car you want. However, the upkeep is expensive so budget yourself around 6-10K a year for maintenance depending on how much you drive it.

  • Tesla

7/21/21

I had the pleasure with riding in a Tesla Model 3. The features are just amazing. You can literally run everything off your smartphone. The best feature is the autopilot. You can sit back and browse the internet while the car is doing its thing. The onboard screen device is nice, has everything you need on one hub to access everything. The car looks sleek and rides comfortable. The roof of the car is all glass so you can lay back and view the sky. The battery life is beyond what my expectations were. Simply an amazing car.
