Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

I can't believe the system of Dell sucks.

My initial support call was routed to Malaysia yesterday, where my basic information was supposedly entered and a case # was issued. I was told a call will be made. Nada.

Followed up early today, and after an uninspiring conversation I was told to call them back if i don't get a call by 10am as the part is already available. Zilch.

Followed up 11am today, and the lady on the other line "promised" a call will be made before 1pm today. Geez.

A call from Cebu came in. They have the wrong company in their record, no address, and no ZIP code.

I breathed fresh air. Corrected the company name, and provided missing information. I was told the technician will be at my office before 1:30pm.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Suddenly i figured out how to make Windows 10 more Windows 8 esque(I hate the start menu feels like i am back in 2000s). I can just permanently leave my Surface is tablet mode regardless and now all my apps act just like the metro apps in Windows 8 and I can have the full screen start screen instead of that stupid start menu. Although i wish there was a desktop tile like before, but all is well.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

I think you are a perfect candidate for one :p you say more random stuff than me o.o

But no one on social media ever wants to talk about computers or smartphones they just want to talk about their latest meal or spontaneous breakups. And then the subsequent relationship that mysteriously spawns four and a half seconds later. I'd rather avoid the hate-infested/life-sucking/***** filled holes that mischievously take on the guise of "social media."
What? Was that a little too much? Nah, I don't think so.

...this site censors "idi*t..." I never cuss. But apparently this site doesn't agree. Sigh.

As I expected, the antennas are not connected. I could have fixed it myself but I don't want to open it and void further warranty claims.

So yes, it was finally fixed and technician has no idea why the Wi-Fi board wires are left unconnected.

I could think the unit is refurbished but I'd like to think it's an assembly line issue, which sucks for Dell.

I'm actually starting to like this Inspiron, which for my purpose is a better compared to my original choice of Asus.

We don't talk about enough NSFW stuff because 99'll delete posts and you and Laura may turn the same shade of red...

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

It's my Sony Xperia Z3 as someone pointed out.

Ignorance, there is a cure.

Someone?

I see you're so relaxed on vacation to the point where you're too lazy to give credit where credit is due (sarcasm alert)...
