At the very least, they should apologise for all the trouble their incompetence put you to.

People that waste your time on Trademe asking a million questions, haggling for price, then when you put a Buy Now on at the price they've indicated they want to pay, they ghost you...so annoying.

I just don't engage and don't put a buy now. It's not my problem.

Government Agencies that do not have a toll free phone number.

And when you do call them and navigate the IVR to "reception" - No-one EVER answers, and you get a message to leave your name and number and someone will call you back!

They don't say when they will call you back! (It usually takes hours!)

I have started getting Electric Kiwi ads from Matt Huisman every time I start up Kodi on my Shield. Like others here, I use Huisman's IPTV services and I have even donated to him, but I definitely don't appreciate this kind of BS. Does anyone know how to block it?

Why don't you talk to him about it? He's got a reddit sub and you can find a mail address on his website.

IT companies who register client domains under their own company name (and therefore legally own the domain from the registrars perspective. The process to do this with an un-cooperative losing service provider is a nightmare, always expensive especially if it's a .com ($1500USD minimum).

The person who loses this decision should have to pay the fees.

dont have any issues on my odroid running Kodi.

i suspect its related to the shield rather than anything else

I uninstalled all Slyguy-related aps and the ads stopped. I still think it is fairly outrageous. Fortunately, I stopped using Slyguy long ago because of all the bugs.

they make these things which take time, they want money for doing it so ask for donations/put adds on it. they could always charge for it but people would probably look elsewhere

dont like it, find a different app

I don't object to ads connected to the product. People can then choose what they want to do about them. But what Huisman has done here is take over Kodi completely! Every time it starts, the ad appears until it is clicked on. This has nothing to do with whether any Huisman app is actually being used. It happens as long as Slyguy is installed at all. This is an unacceptable intrusion. Fortunately, uninstalling all Slyguy apps has fixed it.

Have you contacted him to ask if that's expected behaviour? It could well be something peculiar to your setup, I'm not seeing it on multiple platforms.

And yet, he got banned from Geekzone for being a dick and saying that the ads on Geekzone are unacceptable and writing a (now removed) blog post on his site about how money hungry Mauricio was for having ads and yet now does it himself.

He has plastered his EK referral around his site, his subreddit etc for as-long as this project has been alive.

Anyway, lets stop talking about him because people like this really annoy me...

Something small that really annoys me: People calling water vapor steam :)

Also, steam is invisible.
