   I won a refund via PayPal from Eltima Software!

   They refused to refund my purchase of their SyncMate Pro software, which was totally non-functional on my computer, thought they claimed it would be functional. So I initiated a dispute through PayPal, and they were unable to get any response from the company. So they refunded my money. A great victory over fascists everywhere!

   AVOID AT ALL COSTS

   AVOID AT ALL COSTS. NO REFUNDS. NO CUSTOMER SERVICE.

   THE SOFTWARE WAS AN UTTER FAILURE AT ITS SUPPOSED PURPOSE. It mangled my computer to such an extent I had to boot it up from an emergency disk and spend hours picking out the bits of garbage they installed and deleting them.

   In this case, I was trying to sync and transfer music files between a Mac and an Android-based music player. I installed the free version of the software on my Mac, and it only did a limited number of things, none of which were what I wanted it to do. So I paid for the "Expert" edition of the software and installed it. It was a disaster. This "Expert" package installed pieces of itself all over my operating system, without including an uninstall routine.

   The new software immediately upon launch began to play havoc with my machine, turning the monitor on and off in a rapid fashion without pause. When I managed to get that calmed down (though the monitor image was crazily askew), I tried to sync the computer with the music player in all three ways on offer (USB, WiFi, and Bluetooth). IN ALL CASES THE SOFTWARE FAILED to sync the music player and computer. Nothing I tried worked. Just kept getting error messages. When all their garbage was off my computer, it went back to normal operation.

• What apps do you use to save money? (USA)

  Musicolet. It's a free music player app. It let's my organize all my music (downloaded onto my SD card) and play it without ads. I ended up spending $5 to get the premium version for crossfade and other features. Originally found it after my student discount spotify +Hulu plan ran out. I canceled spotify and use the lowest tier of Hulu ($2.15 per month with a student discount) now. Way cheaper than paying $10+... Source: 5 months ago

• Google is putting the final nail in Android 4.4 KitKat's coffin

  KitKat was so good that I'm still rocking it on a NoteⅣ for offline maps and music in my car even though there are newer official updates available from Smasnug: https://i.imgur.com/AhYJSYP.jpg The newest version of Musicolet still supports it! https://krosbits.in/musicolet/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• YouTube tests blocking videos unless you disable ad blockers

  Yeah I do similar, I actually use musicolet to listen to my offline music library (https://krosbits.in/musicolet), an android app that is just offline, no ads, no network permission at all, nothing. It does the job very well and it does not mine any data or show any ads. I highly recommend to give it a try (I assume you use android?). And to add, while it is free and I could have continued just fine not paying... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago
