Re: [slim] The Forum's Old Days on Christmas Morning

Oh yes mysqueezebox.com did collapse ever Xmas :) , but I thought it was
down to an excess of existing users suddenly using thier device ( the
capacity of services and websites seems to design at some avarage load
and not every user 24/7 ) and that the support staff was on Holliday so
the slightest issue brought everything down

You can easily create the same this sensation by getting a Google Home
device - spend hours of fiddling with atrocious software on a smartphone
to set it up, discover that most 'features' don't work as advertised, go
the laughably named Help Forum where nobody has any idea why stuff
doesn't work, encounter a flood of post headed vatiously as
'Help'/'Why'/'Doesn't work', etc..

The Home mini is actually a nice low-cost device let down by awful
software and non-existent support.

[slim] The Forum's Old Days on Christmas Morning

2017-12-25 Thread garym

Fondly recalling the old days where Christmas morning would create a
flurry of new member postings on the forum asking some version of "how
do i make this thing work?"  And there was the usual "squeezenetwork
(mysqueezebox.com)" outages due to the influx of new users around this
time.  I'm very pleased we are about to enter 2018 with a very nicely
functioning squeezebox ecosystem.
