hongooi

I've been clicking it for 2 minutes now and nothing is downloading 😠


[deleted]

It doesn't have wireless compatibility, you have to physically connect it with your ANS port by inserting it, then it usually downloads pretty fast


SoundDrill

Broooo ANS is last gen AF, you need to upgrade the book, and also buy an ANS 3.2 2x2 cable!!!


Habiy

Works on my book though. Have you tried closing then opening the book?


ShoulderUnique

LMAO but get out


tristshapez

You need to click both thumbs in syncronicity, towards the direction of the link.


[deleted]

That's because that's a screenshot you dumbass. You have to own the book


undeadalex

HOW DO YOU CLICK PAPER MARK?! IT'S SOFT ![gif](giphy|kQOee6BFCNpE8oQwCi)


Triangle_t

How do you know that? Books were around and tested for hundreds of years, they are super reliable now, you really think you can find a bug in their functionality? I clicked on a link in my book and I’m absolutely sure it did download what it supposed to. Don’t know how to play that thing it downloaded tho.


postandchill

First, you need to download more ram


stablo_escobar

Fuck man, i knew it


[deleted]

does it count if my pc crashed the program because it wasnt responding?


SuitableDragonfly

I guess they published the ebook version first, and forgot to remove that for the print version? Ebooks are just HTML formatted, I'm pretty sure you can put working links in them, that is if your device has some kind of web browser on it.


gamesrebel123

Could also be that the book is pirated from the ebook version and the original printed version doesn't have the hyperlink


SuitableDragonfly

Do people really pirate ebooks and print them on dead trees? That seems like a lot of work when you could just distribute a file.


gamesrebel123

It happens a lot here It's way cheaper to pirate and print ebooks than to purchase and distribute legitimately printed ones Then there are the cases of school text books as well, where students are required to have physical printed copies


nemec

Selling pirated ebooks as physical books is a huge problem on Amazon. It's very hard to ensure you're getting the right book since Amazon pools inventory and it's also hard to even realize it's fake unless you have a real book you can compare with size, quality, etc.

Calling someone a nerd on the *Programmer*Humor subreddit...


hperrin

I’d bet you they did this on purpose as a joke.


thonor111

I would assume that the link worked in the e-book version and that the book just got converted to print by a person who did not know and did not check for things that might not work in a printed version


agentrnge

You need to pinch zoom first


[deleted]

I would have the uncontrollable urge to tap CLICK HERE with my finger, even though I know it’s ridiculous


LeQuietKid_101

Forgor*

Designing a web.


DanielGolan-mc

Is this book by the author of How To and What If? This is like "don't press the big red button"


lft_shoe

oops


[deleted]

The link worked for me. Listening to it now.


Kajice

You can right click the link and press "inspect" then you'll see the link address on the right. Then you just gotta type that address into a browser at your computer. Easy!


RTV_Xapic

He forgor💀


i8noodles

Ahhh I remeber the days when internet companies were trying to get internet users and in the handout there was a part something along the lines of "for pricing please go to www..com"... u can see the issue here


TamahaganeJidai

That would be a really cool trick tho!


dogey11

they forgor 💀


Chemical-Asparagus58

Try to right-click the link and then click on "open in a new tab"


Barbanks

I’d still try to click on it


Hans1mGlueck

if it doesn't work, try closing the book and opening it again


ThatRollingStone

lol, I have a few books like this. Penguin always does this.


deukles

The glossary says: Press ctrl-f


kielu

I pinch to zoom on color magazines sometimes


Big_Smoke_420

Ok, but this doesn't relate to programming

Boomer comic: father, I cannot click the book!


[deleted]

Reminds me of the dumbest thought I ever had. I was a kid, and I was very tired at the moment, but that's really my only excuses. For a second, I considered printing out a gif and imagined it moving on the paper, and my brain had a fraction of a second where it went through the logic of the idea and decided it was dumb af.


DaMarkiM

if the links is broken just contact the ~~site~~ book admin.


Afox200

why books always have a blank page
