Another thing I have a serious issue with--the use of the term "shipped" in the statement above. Just like "customer" has 2 meanings, "shipped" also has 2 meanings: 1) Delivered by mail. 2) Fulfilled an order. WayTools' statement conflates these …

weirdosmurf said: I appreciate you’re trying to thread a needle here with your use of the word “customers”. You’re clearly using it to further the narrative that the “product has [technically] been successfully shipped to customers...” Build…

gmadden said: Only WayTools knows how long we need to wait until TextBlades are broadly released. Well, I don't think they know either. Or else they would actually tell us.

dabigkahuna said: But let's say it isn't. Think about what that means if they didn't do the rewrite! That's not my point. My point is about the necessity of a feature freeze.

When programs are simple, bugs are relatively easy to find and squash. But by all accounts, the TextBlade firmware is amazingly complex (which it would have to be in order to support its revolutionary capabilities). Adding a feature to code_block_A …
