Chapter 137 - 114: Are the Crippled Versions Better Than the Full Versions?_2

What’s going on here?

Chen Ba was puzzled too, quickly pulling out his phone to try the UP owner’s operation.

First, open "Garbage Disposal Fun," start a game, then switch to the background, manually uninstall the Penguin Video APP, and then return to the game to eliminate the blocks representing the Penguin Video.

"Restored..."

After verifying that what the UP owner said was true, Chen Ba and Lu exchanged glances.

Eliminating specified blocks and uninstalling software Bugs was already perplexing enough. Never expected, there was also an operation to restore software that doesn’t exist to its original state.

The video continued playing.

The UP owner tried several more times to confirm this wasn’t a coincidence.

"Garbage Disposal Fun" would restore software in the background when it eliminated "non-existent" software blocks, as if it had never been uninstalled.

But the uninstallation was manually done by the UP owner, everyone saw it, so there’s no way it was fake—what exactly was this restored software?

Out of curiosity, the UP owner clicked open the restored "Tianba Community" APP for a preview.

"The software can still open normally."

"However... it can be seen that this ’Tianba Community’ APP software, which was restored, seems to have become an incomplete version."

"Try changing to another software!"

"This time it’s a popular live streaming APP. It can be seen that the APP can still open and operate normally, but the tipping page is gone..."

"Try another one, this time it’s Thunderbolt. The video can be watched normally, but the bottom image-text ad bar is gone!"

After the UP owner’s tests, everyone could see—even after such an operation, "Garbage Disposal Fun" could indeed restore software uninstalled "during the game."

But the restoration was an incomplete version!

Simply put, the restoration wasn’t complete. Curiously, despite being incomplete, these software could run smoothly and even seemed smoother than the "full version."

Undoubtedly, the most mind-boggling was a live streaming platform APP: with its restoration by "Garbage Disposal Fun," the tipping page disappeared.

As for an e-commerce shopping APP, everything seemed normal, but the "payment input password" window couldn’t pop up—no matter how hard you tried.

Comments were laughing their heads off.

"This incomplete version of the shopping APP is awesome, I’m going to get one for my wife to stop her from spending money all day long!"

"This incomplete version of the streaming APP is good, now I can freeload shamelessly. Asking me why no gifts? Bro, there’s no tipping page!"

"Hahaha! What’s the name of this game? I’m going to download it and see what other funny things it has..."

"Just tried, online games don’t work—files are incomplete, can’t enter the game. But some software can work—WPS directly became an overseas version with no ads, fantastic..."

Huh?!

Seeing this, Chen Ba seemed to have an idea and quickly took out his phone, opening the Penguin Video APP that was just used for experimentation.

Great... the opening screen ads were gone!

Previously, when opening the software, you had to watch an opening ad for at least four or five seconds before entering the homepage, but now it goes straight in.

Moreover, the messy pop-ups and recommended ads on the homepage were also gone, the page was as refreshing as an "old" version from years ago.

Of course!

Clicking on a video to play, the non-member user startup ads were still there; this thing is probably the core of the core—removing this would likely make the software not open at all.

However, even so, removing the opening screen ads and homepage pop-up recommendations to make the page cleaner is quite nice.

"Is this the incomplete version?"

Chen Ba thought for a long time, still couldn’t understand why the incomplete version was better than the full version? And was it smoother?

"It really is the incomplete version..."

After watching this episode, Lu immediately went to test the problem mentioned by the UP owner.

The results show.

When "Garbage Disposal Fun" was still running, switch to the background to uninstall some software, and then return to the game to eliminate the blocks representing the software.

The game continues executing the garbage cleaning operation. Because the software was already uninstalled, it simultaneously restores and cleans.

During this process, some software would become an incomplete version, missing parts of files or content.

But curiously, after these software turned incomplete and were restored, they could still open and be used like normal software, then encounter some inexplicable problems...

"Can this still run?"

"Why can’t it run? For these software, the issues are just Bugs. Have you never encountered Bugs while using these software?"

After figuring it out, Chen Ba explained to Lu: "The live streaming APP without a tipping page, the shopping APP unable to make payments are Bugs for these programs."

Such Bugs don’t affect the normal operation of the program.

Last time he used a note-taking APP, he encountered a Bug of "unable to awaken the input method"!

In other words.

After being restored and cleaned by "Garbage Disposal Fun," although the software had some minor defects, their core wasn’t affected, so the programs could run normally without suddenly crashing or exiting.

Although it sounds strange.

A shopping APP that can only browse but can’t process payments. A live streaming APP that can only watch but can’t tip. Video APPs and social APPs without opening screen ads and pop-up top recommendations...

Rather than calling it an incomplete version, it should be called the normal version. Although it sounds very unserious, it seems more appealing than the full version, doesn’t it?

"Seems to make some sense."

Lu scratched his head, saying: "Listening to you, it feels more attractive than the full version."

The netizens thought the same.

After the release of this episode, "Garbage Disposal Fun" soon experienced a peak of downloads, with many people rushing to verify the UP owner’s claim.

Don’t ask why, just say it’s fun!

Install "Garbage Disposal Fun" for a spendthrift wife, so the shopping software on her phone becomes an incomplete version—she can only browse but can’t buy, saving at least two thousand dollars a month.

Fond of watching live streams and always tempted to tip female streamers?

Quickly download "Garbage Disposal Fun," clean up the live streaming software, the tipping page is gone—there’s no channel for impulsive spending.

Opening screen ads are annoying?

Quickly download "Garbage Disposal Fun," clean up the software, and never have to put up with the annoying five-second opening wait again—instantly in and instantly out, one step ahead...

The netizens had a blast.

But those software developers were frantic, not only taking the measures to take down that episode but also sending an official letter requesting an explanation from Tianba Studio.

"What explanation?"

Chen Ba found it strange; what’s this got to do with them—why are they coming to ask for an explanation?

"They said, because ’Garbage Disposal Fun’ caused Bugs in their software, we must take responsibility."

"What kind of logic is that?"

Chen Ba rolled his eyes: "What evidence is there to prove that the software Bugs were caused by ’Garbage Disposal Fun’?"

Are you kidding!

The system provides underlying core code—these programmers probably don’t even understand it.

No direct evidence to prove these software became incomplete versions or have functional anomalies due to ’Garbage Disposal Fun’ playing tricks.

Besides...

Your software has Bugs, not fixed in time—how they can brazenly blame Tianba Studio?

Can’t take a dump, blame the toilet, right?

Although Chen Ba felt a bit guilty, thinking these software were likely dragged down, this kind of thing absolutely cannot be admitted.

Not only cannot admit, but also have to distance themselves and frame themselves as one of the victims.

These software developers were anxious and wanted to resolve the problem quickly—after all, with incomplete versions like being unable to pay or tip, it’s easier to say...

But removing opening screen ads with incomplete versions affects them very badly. After all, ads are their main income source—cutting off opening screen ads is equivalent to cutting off their financial sources, right?

Tianba Studio is indeed a troublemaker.

You say you have Bugs, fine, everyone just takes it as a joke. But if your Bugs spread outward, making other software also have Bugs—isn’t that too much?
