Double-sided Google Apps

Starting from the fun of 7th grade students in my class, they tried to find my name through a search engine on the internet, called google. It turned out that they were able to find my Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Kompasiana account names. Likewise, when they choose the option with image or photo search, they can find my photos through that search engine. Some of them are on the veranda thanks to "the father is famous too, the photos can be found on google."

The search engine was able to find my social media account names and photos, in seconds. On the one hand, if used properly, it can be used to extend the relationship, as I can still connect with some friends during elementary school, middle school and high school. However, like a coin that has two sides, this technology also makes it easier for people who want to make profits by utilizing the personal data of someone they find through this application.

How amazing is internet technology, which can make us easy to find and find someone or even something. This makes us globalized without borders and national barriers. especially if we want to find celebrities or world famous figures, it will be easier and more sources to be found.

There is also a google map application that can find the address we mean with the help of gps (Global Positioning System), which is supported by a satellite navigation system. Although currently the accuracy is not very precise, this application provides convenience when we visit places that we visit for the first time. Through this application we can also search for lodging, places to eat and tourist attractions, accompanied by an estimated length of the trip. At least we have a benchmark to find the address we are going. On the other hand, this facility can also be used by certain parties to commit crimes.

Apparently, Macbook Pro Service Doesn't Have to be Expensive

It seems that it is common knowledge that the company's products with the logo in the shape of a bitten apple are known to be expensive. Not surprisingly, almost all Apple products, from cellphones, laptops, tablets, smartwatches, monitors to PCs or Macbooks, always have a premium price tag that exceeds other brands.

This also applies to repairs or maintenance of Apple products that are caused by software or hardware. Of course it will be very annoying and annoying. Where, these products are often used daily. Whether it's for work, college assignments and for other purposes that are very important for daily activities.

So if one of the Apple products used has a problem, this can be a burden on its own mind and it takes more time to solve it. As I have experienced and felt myself when the Macbook I was using had problems.

Macbook Screen Problem

I have a Macbook Pro Touch Bar in 2019 and am having problems with the screen. The problem I experienced when using this Macbook was that when the screen was tilted or opened a little about 45 degrees, the Macbook Pro screen was still on, but if it was opened to 90 degrees, the screen would turn off or dark.

This makes me panic and of course dizzy. How not, as I know that repairs to this Macbook are certainly expensive. I have tried to prove this, by visiting various laptop or Macbook service places in the city of Bandung where I live. I have visited more or less four places to find out the estimated costs to be incurred.

However, on average, the four places I visited estimated that I would have to spend approximately 13 million Rupiah for repairs to replace this Macbook LCD. Considering 13 Million Rupiah for me is not a small amount of money, and this further confirms for me personally that the cost of repairing a Macbook is not cheap.

Start From Lightly

After visiting several Macbook service places, I tried to find another place that could offer a cheaper price comparison than before. I found a laptop or gadget service place with the name Bang Amin Gedget in the Jalan Cikutra area, Bandung City.

Then I came and was greeted warmly by the workers in this place and complained about the problem with the Macbook screen. Unlike the previous service, after knowing in detail about the damage to this Macbook, Bang Amin Gedget offered a repair option for my Macbook with the name Starting from Light Procedure.

Indeed, if you have to replace the Macbook LCD, Bang Amin Gedget's party also fixes the same price as the previous service place. However, without immediately deciding to immediately replace the LCD, interestingly this place first offers a Start from Light repair procedure to repair this Macbook.

Starting from Light is one of the procedures with seven repair SOPs in the style of Bang Amin Gedget to see and find the best solution for problems on Macbooks. After carrying out the repair procedure Starting from Light, it was found that the problem that occurred on this Macbook was the LCD Flex Gate Cable or Apple Flexgate, a term used for damage to the MacBook Pro screen display.

Macbook Service Doesn't Have To Be Expensive

The thing that made me very surprised and surprised was, the price for repairs on this Macbook screen damage was 1.8 million Rupiah. Honestly, I was very shocked and surprised to learn that the cost of repairing this Macbook. In basic mathematical logic, when compared to the cost of 13 million rupiah, it is certainly not more than 1.8 million rupiah.

Without thinking again, after I checked again and tried to open the screen of this Macbook repeatedly and the result turned on perfectly. I immediately paid the cost of repairing this Macbook without speaking a word and then left this Service. Without meaning anything, but seeing the huge price difference and the excellent work, at that moment I instinctively had a personal fear, if Bang Amin Gedget suddenly changed his mind regarding the prices they gave. (This is more of a personal nervousness when I know the cost of repairing the Macbook Pro 2019 is very affordable, lol)

I don't think it's possible for them to do that because I'm sure they are very professional in their work. This can be seen, from the way they serve and work on problems on my Macbook. If from the beginning Bang Amin Gedget tried to take big profits, they could easily have done it from the beginning by setting a tariff of 5-10 million Rupiah, but they didn't.

Amazingly, the team from this service center prioritizes solutions by following the same procedure flow that is equally beneficial for consumers and companies. From this experience I also realized that not all repair costs for damage to Apple products are expensive. It all depends on our efforts to find the best product service place that works professionally by always providing the best solutions to customers. Thank you Bang Amin Gedget.

Has Apple Ads Changed the Advertising Industry One Step Ahead?

Marketing expenses, according to several ad agencies and researchers, are rising, which could signify a change in how firms find clients.

To drive customer acquisition, ecommerce retailers and direct-to-consumer brands have come to rely on advertising that targets shopper behavior.

This advertising was frequently delivered through Facebook and Instagram ads. The Meta ads channel grew so powerful that some sellers allocated their entire budget to it. So why not? A marketing team should double down on a channel that yields a high return on advertising spend. This was true of the Meta Ads platform.

Shopify announced Collabs on August 16, 2022, a two-sided influencer marketing platform that connects ecommerce brands with social media influencers.

Influencers can make money by promoting products for ecommerce businesses that use Shopify. The companies gain access to a new marketing channel. Collabs assists Shopify in entering the creator space. Shopify is almost certainly interested in increasing its own revenue and shareholder value.

Amazon is the best example of a new advertising channel in the ecommerce industry. Amazon's ad revenue is expected to surpass $31 billion in August 2022, making it the third-largest digital ad platform behind Google and Meta. Retail media advertising is Amazon's primary promotional product. This is an alternative to social media and Google searches for ecommerce brands or consumer packaged goods in general.

According to a February 2022 CMO Survey (in collaboration with Duke University and Deloitte) and several large ad agencies, marketing expenditures will rise in 2022 and 2023. On the surface, this does not appear to be unusual. Marketing investments have been steadily increasing for decades. However, some of that expansion may be attributed to Apple's iOS 14-induced tracking signal loss and the need to find alternatives to behavioral targeting. The CMO Survey is conducted twice a year and polls approximately 2,500 marketers at leading for-profit companies in the United States. In February 2022, respondents projected growth in 2022 and 2023, indicating the highest sustained marketing spend in years.

One could make the argument that it is a response to pre-Covid levels rather than true growth, but this does not illustrate the attraction to traditional media. However, less appropriate behavioral targeting could explain the growth.
