А также они жёстко привязаны к конкретному производителю, т.е. пользователь зависим от конкретного производителя или бренда. Гаджеты совместимы с парой основных систем, но кроссплатформенность отсутствует. Устройства разных производителей часто не могут взаимодействовать друг с другом без дополнительных шлюзов.

Палец уже тянулся к кнопке «пополнить баланс».Хорошо, что не долил. Потому что когда я посмотрел, что эти 232 человека реально делают, оказалось: живое действие — осознанный тап 👍 или клик по ссылке — сделал ровно один.

То есть запросы от этих регионов не будут доходить до google. Рассмотрев... Read more ›
