The TextBlade keyboard is superb, but you'll have to be patient
So you’re just going to be a pig-headed whatevski and not grow up? Reaching back for some old bone to chew?dabigkahuna said:
Sure. So when are you going to provide the serious examples of WT making "digs" on their availability/shipping status page? Clearly you've had plenty of time and the page isn't all that long.Grow up, DBK.
Grow up, DBK, you’re retired but you act like a petulant child, your post above proves that.
You cant wait a few days for claims I told you were obvious to non-Treggers but you’ve no problem in waiting 4+ years for GR?
Turn off your TextBlade and computer and go outside for a bit, DBK, it’ll do you (and us) a world of good.
When i finally show you the “digs” you can rev up your reality distortion field once more and rationalise to the n-th degree why each of my examples aren’t valid and why you, and only you, are the Damn Bruce Kwillis type that will save the world from MK and from your misunderstanding of the fact that you are one heck of a “contributor”.
grow up DBK, it’s not all about you, and if you stopped posting for a few days and didn’t jump in every millisecond to Stockholm-Syndrome defend your and WT’s position, you’d see that the world would still spin and discussions here would be vastly less interrupted by fluff.
Sticks and stones might hurt my bones but words typed on a TextBlade or any keyboard don’t, and that’s a very simple lesson you’ve forgotten. All the fake hurt in the world is just that - fake - and any offence you take is a decision you make to be offended.
Stop choosing to be offended, and get back to enjoying your retirement for a few days before posting here again, and please spare us your retort that it’s your right to post here and you can do it any time you like.
Yes, you can, but it’s also your right to shut up for a bit and I urge you to exercise that right for a few days in peaceful and contemplative reflection.
I’ll get you that new bone to chew on soon enough, in the meantime, take a chill pill, or a viagra pill, and take a time out. You need it.

Sticks and stones will break my bones but words (typed on a S/TextBlade or not) will never hurt me.dabigkahuna said:
Yet there is no context that changes the fact that you said I kept using a word that, in fact, I rarely use. Yet you made a choice to make the claim anyway.Taking a word out of its contextual line... tsk, tsk... surely you know better than that.
You don't even know how many times I've used it here, do you? Or is it that you do know that you keep trying to distract from your statement?
Grow up, DBK.
WSmurf - you mentioned two days to go for my promised update - you did mean the promised GreatTools update, didn’t you?
We’ve been spending the money that has been flooding in on fast cars, women and keeping Sext Blade Treggers happy and paying the insurance claim on one unfortunate re-attachment surgery - there were bugs, we admit it!
Thankfully the re-attachment surgery was a success and the owner decided to get a 5G hotspot installed, so he is now the proud owner of the world’s first 5G-enabled dongle.
We spent so much money that we nearly went broke! A White Knighton got in contact with promises of oodles of cash but we managed to get a good review of one of our prototypes in an Apple fan website and we got so many new orders we’re back in the black and have just picked up an Aventador... such a nice car, with CarPlay, too!
Check back with us in the Fall sometime for our next update... it will probably be concerning the Maybach we’re looking at to see whether it is possible to type and drive at the same time legally.
Also re: GoT S08 - it’s an interesting side project we want to spend part of our 20% of spare time on. We’re working on it! Just need to avoid a spider or dragon getting into the vortex stream or we really will have some problems...
Love, unicorns, rainbows and Obamacare re-attachment insurance plans...

An excellent summary. We awaits DBK's DeBunKing and reality distortion fielding in response. :-)weirdosmurf said:
Umm... everyone gets to respond... that’s what a public Internet forum is... this isn’t a court of law, and if it were, you might find a judge shutting down some of your nonsense just as I might find mine curtailed - I cant imagine any sane judge allowing my requirement for the death penalty to apply to boy-bands to stand...dabigkahuna said:

That's funny, because before posting my prior message, I had included the point that the next step would be to blame me for what the critics started! But I decided to delete that part. My mistake. So I'll just remind you that it was smurf who made me an issue over a word that didn't matter, and had to fib about it at that - claiming I "kept using" it. Perhaps you have noticed he has not produced any other examples of it, let alone enough to remotely justify making his statement. Or you might notice that it was others who made an issue about my programming.
> People would then say you make false assertions
People can say many things - but you might note again that only I can point out little details such as the fact that smurf can't provide examples for what he said about me "keep using" a specific word. If he checked, and found a bunch of examples, he would have provided them. He knows he made it up so he either doesn't even check or knowns the odds of finding many examples is so unlikely, it isn't worth the time to even check.
More like psycho bingo since it was you who made my use of a specific word an issue - falsely at that (feel free to provide a bunch of examples if you insist you are correct. I don't think you can do it). Likewise ericpeets making my programming an issue - but, oops, he got caught with his own link showing he was was wrong about certain assembly instructions. So after you and others make me the issue, you then eventually switch to saying I was making myself the issue. That is not an ethical argument for you to make.
You are all free to make stuff up. You are free to make me the issue. But here's the thing: I get to respond. Meanwhile, tell us how many times I needed to use the word in this forum to "justify" you making it an issue out of 342 posts.
To engage and “bicker” as you have suggested? Not on your life.
To poke a bit of fun using pop culture references or trash boy bands ad nauseum? You betcha...! I am a sucker for the little things in life...
Am I willing to chase down a red herring for the purpose of winning the internet? I am not. If that qualifies in your mind for an ethical violation of some sort, then you definitely won the internet...
Is being the centre of the issue important to you? If so, by all means continue arguing about why you are/aren’t the centre of the issue... if however, you don’t wish to be the centre of the issue and you wish to discuss the TextBlade, Waytools and or all things therein, then again, by all means do so. If you don’t enjoy “absolute crap” then by all means, you are entirely free to elevate yourself above what you consider “crap”. You are equally free to roll around in the playground mud scrapping, punching and wrestling for meaningless points (with which you eventually get to “buy the internet...) The choice is entirely yours and your choice demonstrates everything about you (just as my choices reveal anything and everything about me - everyone’s do...)
Am I concerned that you might say “see... I knew you couldn’t do some entirely meaningless task I set you”...? I’ll just have to somehow manage to find a way go on living with myself (I do not answer to you and I don’t work for you. I am not a student of yours, nor am I a band member who you can bark instructions at to be blindly followed - I’d ask you to refrain from barking please...)
What I am in this particular context is a customer of Waytools who is frustrated and feels poorly served by the company. The company does not appear keen to engage and is extremely poor at customer relations and is extremely (overly) sensitive to criticism. The company have been extremely vague in their use of timeframes - so much so that they insist (with you as a staunch defender) they have never actually missed a deadline since they never actually gave a deadline; merely an estimate... and yet a significant number of customers feel they were deceived. The company dangles a carrot (early adopter gift of “significant value”) out without stating what it is whilst at the same time urging dissatisfied people to use the refund button; that denies people the ability to make an informed decision by keeping them uninformed about a key piece of information. And on the point of refunds, the company states (on this forum) the decision to keep an order or seek a refund sits entirely with the customer and yet that same company has unilaterally enforced refunds to customers who have vented their displeasure. Last and by no means least, the company maintains a forum (complete with a “rants” section) and yet a number of customers who have “ranted” have been shadow banned from the forum, silencing their dissent - any serious dissent. There are more, but I can’t sit here typing on an Internet forum all day (not typed on a TextBlade btw)... I have work to crack on with...
All of this is quite uncool and certainly justifies the voices here complaining. Attacking the messengers and changing the frame of reference in order to validate attacking the messengers doesn’t change the validity of those complaints.
Why do do people end up always piling on to you dbk on every forum you enter...? That’s one of those existential questions you’ll need to engage a good therapist to get to the bottom of, I highly recommend it (mine tells me One Direction is better than Take That... I mean seriously... is she insane? I mean c’mon... Robbie Williams vs Harry Styles... what is she even thinking...!?) There’s no way that you’d take your lead from a suggestion on an Internet forum (and to be fair, why would you...?) so perhaps you can explore the question we all have deep down “why doesn’t everyone in the world see the world the way I see it, like sensible people should...?” with a professional who might get you some decent, unbiased perspective. If pursuing that’s important to you (and it appears from your posts it is an important issue for you, hence the endless debate and shifting sands of framework) then I’d suggest you’ll remain unfulfilled if you keep trying to find those answers on Internet forums...

Just pointing out how someone makes me the issue, makes s false assertion to do so, doubles down on it rather than admit the can’t back it up, changes the issue to avoid doing so, and finally tries to pretend it’s all a big joke. It’s okay since it just gives me more things to point out about their ethics.
But it it is also interesting that not only are they less interested in talking about the TB then they are in making these attack, they are literally just a few days from the end of the month which is the time frame for the announced update - which so many have saiid is unlikely to happen. And they may well be right. This past year certainly hasn’t been very good for producing updates when WT projects. So why not, if they don’t have anything useful to say, just wait and, if it doesn’t happen, they get to say , “I told you so”, etc?
Instead they make up false claims. Very strange.Just pointing out that you often seem to make yourself the issue and/or insert yourself into a conversation.
People would then say you make false assertions to do so coupled with weird analogies, and then called out on it, that you double down on it rather than admit you can’t back it up, that you change the issue to avoid doing so, and finally you get angry or try to pretend it’s all a big joke.
It’s okay since it just gives them more things to point out about your ethics...
Ok ok just joking(?), please don't go Incredible Sulk on us
Also are you saying you don't want your kahunas involved in the great Sext Blade tregsperiment? -

As part of our accelerated feature development team, we decided to spend 20% of our time on other projects.arkorott said:You should volunteer to put together the Wait-Tools_Support update. You would make it a ton of fun to read.We are bound to find some errors in the limpware to firmware process, and it is bugs we hope to cut, not features or anything else.
As long as you do not cut anything else and it does not interrupt the firmware process I guess a lot will sign up for sure.
One of the devs thought it would be great if the Sext Blade could have other features. Our competitor blathers on about making a mouse, but we aim higher than that - much higher.
Using the parallel interpolative forces of geometrical suborbital magnetic fields, used when the blades stick together, we realised this could be used to open a wormhole in the space time continuum, and that a surprising by product was the ability to teleport.
We were doing some experiments and crazily - it worked! But a fly got into the vortex, and when our Sext Blade used on of the 12 Jumps features, where the Blade can physically jump between and in front of different devices on your desk table, it suddenly had wings, beady eyes, fine hairs on each key and stuff.
For a moment we thought we had teleported the CEO of a different company into our labs by accident, but the reality was quite different!
What we had developed was the Insext Blade!
Now our Blade can teleport jump between keyboards, record each keystroke, and when interplanetary magnetism is fluctuating, it can simply fly between devices on command as needed.
The hairs provide a soothing massage effect to you fingers as well, but the little battery droppings it leaves as it now works as a semi-organic life form is something we haven't figured out what to do with.
We are strongly considering Rolanbek's suggestion that we freeze then for use to cool down those Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster drinks from HHGTTG...
If you have any ideas on how we can further develop Sext Blade before launch, let me know. In the meantime I am constantly looking in the mirror and noticing just how much I look like Elon Musk and Tim Cook's love child - the resemblances are uncanny!
With love
