Amazon Music
So my kid bought the trial of amazon music last night on my wife's phone. I thought "Maybe I have some settings wrong on my account."
Cancelled the trial. Disabled 1-click purchasing. I have parental controls on already.
amazon said:
Note: 1-Click ordering is always enabled for digital video, Kindle books, MP3s, and other digital purchases.
WTF
how do I set parental controls
I don't want my kids buying stuffAmazon:
I am really sorry but you can set up parental control only on kindle device not on your phone. so I would suggest you to please sign out from your account when you use your Amazon account from your phone, so that your son will not able to order anything from your account.
Let me talk to a manager
Amazon manager:
Okay, you can install an Applock app on your phone, and lock the amazon music app so that it always ask for a password when someone will try to open it.
really
i have to get a third party app just to work around your app's shortcomings?Amazon manager:
It's not the app's shortcoming, the parental control feature what you're looking for is a device specific feature that can be used to block apps or set a password, it's not a feature that comes with an app.
the act of buying something through the app that is used to play music should be authenticated
and authorized
so yes, it's the app's shortcoming
like you guys finally improved the parental controls on fire tv
so my kid can now watch free stuff but not buy
why can't you do it on the music side as well
is that really too much to ask?Amazon Manager:
At this time, there is no such option to block your child from purchasing something on the amazon music app. But this option is available on Fire tablets on which you can setup parental control password and every time someone tries to purchase something it will ask for a password.
i guess you guys need to send me a free fire tablet
if that's the only workaround
I will also take a free amazon echoAmazon Manager:
I'm sorry but that cannot be done.
I would request you to wait for an upgrade in the amazon music app, but I cannot assure when this will be done.well why don't you give me the JIRA ticket # for this issue
and subscribe me so I get updatesAmazon Manager:
A ticket cannot be filed for this as this is not an issue. It is a feature request that will be decided by the developers.
if you let developers decide what features to build, I can see why you have a problem

@JBert I've long awaited for the paradigm of "once on the Internet never deleted". Somewhere out there there's a Bitcoin wallet of mine that's likely worth some not-really-money!
Eventually with quantum computing you can probably brute force the wallet.

@dangeRuss I said nothing about getting the job done with the Internet as it existed in 1984. From what I can recall of the few images one could find on Usenet in the days before affordable scanners or digital cameras, they were of such low resolution as to be almost impossible to even figure out what they were images of, much less useful for getting the job done.
I think you're forgetting about Lena. But the original post stands, before the internet, meaning before it was easily available in your home.

@Gern_Blaanston 1989 was not before the Internet. Usenet dates to 1980, and I personally used it as early as 1984, maybe late 1983, during a 6-month internship while in university. Even the Web existed in 1989 (although it didn't open to the public until 1991). As for the Sears catalog, I would assume the 1889 version got the job done, too. (Actually, I have no idea when they started putting photos of the merchandise in the catalogs, so maybe it didn't.)
Good to know you felt comfortable getting the job done while working at the university in what I assume was a public PC lab.

"Brithday"?
Apparently Marc is Jewish and 8 days old. Presumably, the cake is for family and friends celebrating on his behalf.
if they said Mark with the sea instead of Marc with a "c", I can see where the confusion came from.

I'm pretty sure the first 4 are incorrect, or at least were the last time I checked.
Well C and C++ don't have lists so there's that

@boomzilla that's an odd value for pi.
Because it's cream pi, obviously
