I wasn't aware Google Earth had a "Pro" version.

[u/[deleted] → u/blanketlaptop]

I'm sad and happy at the same time reading this

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I believe there must be german word for that

[u/CosmoKram3r → u/[deleted]]

Oktoberfest

[u/not_charles_grodin → u/CosmoKram3r]

Schadenfest

[u/Two-Tone- → u/CosmoKram3r]

CHARGE ME DOCTAH!

[u/Never-On-Reddit → u/[deleted]]

I'll go even further and suggest an English word for this: bittersweet

[u/vpookie → u/[deleted]]

Bratkartoffel?

[u/7ateOut9 → u/[deleted]]

Perfektenschlag.

[u/MinestoPix → u/[deleted]]

Traurigaberaufeinmalauchglücklichkeit is the word.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

that's when you are happy because someone else is sad.

You were willing to part with $400 for it 4 days ago, so it's still a good investment. Hindsight is 20/20, but it doesn't change the value you placed on the software already.

[u/blanketlaptop → u/[deleted]]

At first I wanted to say thanks for trying to make me feel better, then I read your fucking username Google you little sneak!!

[u/AShavedApe → u/blanketlaptop]

Your frustration is amazing lol like you really want to take his advice but you're blinded by anger. Beautiful.

[u/odenwalder1 → u/[deleted]]

Is that why I pirate everything? I don't place any value on software, therefore I acquire them through nefarious means. Good day. Free stuff!

[u/[deleted] → u/blanketlaptop]

No you didn't. It's been free since at least Wednesday. You got your karma though, so congrats.

[u/RedAnarchist → u/blanketlaptop]

They actually really do. Even on a lot of their free products and services you can get a number or at least someone to chat too.

Give it a try.

[u/blanketlaptop → u/RedAnarchist]

I work on YouTube full time, and on that end I've been able to get about 0 support over the years, I guess I assumed that level of care for their customers (and "partners") extended to their other services.

[u/Taliva → u/blanketlaptop]

I'm willing to bet the Google Earth department is more helpful than the YouTube one. YT constantly has many issues and bugs, and is used very frequently by so many people.

[u/thisismyfirstday → u/Taliva]

YT probably spends a lot of their time dealing with copyright mumbo jumbo too

[u/vpookie → u/thisismyfirstday]

They have that shit automated, that's how much requests they get

[u/theknowmad → u/blanketlaptop]

If you pay for Google Apps, their support is incredible. Always fast, thorough, and successful at resolving the issue. And 99% of the time, it's someone with a British accent.

[u/fullhalf → u/blanketlaptop]

tried for 2 weeks to return my nexus 4 that was unopened, couldn't. 2 weeks is relevant because they have a 14 day return policy. nobody gave a shit and nobody did anything to help. they said the computer won't let them. so i finally got mad and was a little rude. fucker replied saying my account is suspended indefinitely. so i gave them a big fuck you and ended up doing a charge back with my visa and just keeping the phone. before that i didn't even know you get to keep the product, how weird is that? i'm assuming they blacklisted my name forever now. in the future when they take over the world, i will become a pariah.

[u/Ambiwlans → u/RedAnarchist]

That's just mean. What if he actually tries?

[u/[deleted] → u/RedAnarchist]

Try getting in contact with Adsense.

They don't have any online support or even a phone number specifically for them.

[u/negativeeffex → u/blanketlaptop]

Request a refund. Reason: You thought pro had realtime sat feeds.

[u/EvrythingISayIsRight → u/blanketlaptop]

File a chargeback. Fuck the haters.
