Note to businesses: If your “April Fools ‘joke’” would, on any other day of the year, simply be a “scam,” it’s still a scam. Saying “April Fools!” afterwards doesn’t actually stop it from being a scam if you’ve taken money from people under false pretenses, nor does it stop legal action from being taken against your company.

Bier have always been questionable. Great product if you buy a one-off box, or their advent calendar. But as soon as they can get personal details from you, they’re like those old CD subscription services. This is really stupid of them, but not at all out of character.

A lot of them were “Shut up and take my money!!!” if they had ever actually been produced. I’m vaguely working on making the Star Trek white noise warp core generator using a Raspberry Pi and building the chassis myself.
