Remember it's Apple. So dumb dumb downed is needed for the Fanboys. Besides, you'll hear the Fanboys jump up n down about the Samsung battery blow up, yet they'll sweep under the rug know Apple batteries have started to do the same (happened to a friend).
Yep. I worked briefly at FutureShop. I got flack for telling people it's fine, offer free suggestions. Even a few customers had legitimate issues but couldn't afford the outlandish prices to repair. I'd refer them to an online ad that fixes comps (my own) then fix it for them at what they could afford.
Mechanic requires schooling, licenses (which can be pulled for many things". Comp tech at BestBuy is 2 questions"explain a virus" and "how would you handle it". That's it.
One of my first call center jobs was with Sprint. We had metrics like that, so many add-ons got you an additional$3/hr on your pay. We had more than 1 employee would tell people "o you had $300 overages, take this text plan and I'll credit your account". Took Sprint about 6mths to catch on why she was the only one in the center getting bonus each month(was next to impossible). All that happened? Another student lost a meaningless job, no fraud charges nothing.
Ya. It's totally the govt's fault businesses like this operate. Sell post near cost or below and hope to make money on upsell or warranty. All govt fault right there.
Small ISP's usually employ local people, you can walk in to discuss/pay/whatever at n office. Where if you go with a large ISP you're likely to get an India call center, poor service, and frequently sketchy internet plans that change without notice or come with a contract. Also, the small ISP's generally offer unlimited(here in Canada anyway).
Zero tolerance is just a buzz word. I actually ran into this with my toddler. Being bullied by an autistic kid. School didn't help.Well, they're autistic so get out of jail free card. Then I got a call a week later when my toddler threw sand I'm the kids face and hoofed them in the shims. All I said was problem solved.
They're bullying you online? There is this neat feature called "block". You can do it on Facebook, email, and there is even an app for those pesky texts. That'll be $200 plz.
Same here. Debian since 2002 here. Win 7 (using Never10) for gaming until Linux gets their act together on gaming. I still try to crowbar my games every now and then.
That's a myth or fear mongering. US produced most of their items in the 1900's. Sure the big companies weren't able to profit 100 billion dollars a year from it. But the work was local.
Soooooooooooooo the thousands of Click Bait links in the advertising section of Facebook was purely accidental. All those links that showed "I was for this candidate until I heard he say this......" then sent you to a random page for Viagra. Yep, Zuckerberg had no idea about any of it as he rolled in his pile of dough.
Same here. I watched the movie Cereal Killers and opened my eyes too. I have maybe 2 cans a month. Every now n then, you go ah I can go for a can of soda. Feel like shit after but hey.
I drive a VW. I agree Kia is absolute rubbish, I was a mechanic at a Kia dealership briefly. What I saw made me think it was just some rich guy one day blindly going let's make a car company then guessing. Even the car models, like Amanti (however it's spelled) looks like someone called up Kia and described a Jaguar over the phone. Then built it based on that phone call.
The wait times were high, as an agent you were slammed back2back calls entire shift. This was once India got involved, 80% of our calls were someone promised something and was implemented wrong. It was something as simple as someone wanting a family plan for 3 phones. In system 1 line gets family plan x, phone 2-3 get family plan add-on. Very easy to do I'm drop down menu. Was like they had 0 training or -10 knowledge of how computer systems worked.
Sprint did this with their call centres. I worked for them as an after school job in college. Tjey outsourced to India for calls, within a month 90% of accounts were screwed up. They cut the India phone agents and threw them on email (I lost my position over it). None of them knew how to put on proper phone plans nothing. Then the call center slowly got phased out in my home town because Sprint realized as bad as India as, people didn't switch cell companies. I remember hearing on calls "thank God you spesk English"

Not really. I mean anyone who plays Pokémon Go (kid does) knows as soon as you speed up in a car the app asks you if you are the passenger and you have to click ok to continue. Apps can incorporate this feature into theirs. As soon as you hit that speed up moment, the phone puts itself into airplane mode. This feature is disabled if Bluetooth or connected to hands free items.
Yes. It will also create job listings "must have 10 years exp" for their specific automation that's been around for 2 years.
I'll get right on that to an anonymous coward Apple Fanboy.

Not like the Fanboys pay for them anyway. Free upgrades for everyone!

Yep. GeekSquad simply runs that DVD, has about 10 different"scanners", detects everything from real viruses to "cookies".
FutureShop was like that in Canada. BestBuy bought them out, same shit different logo.

FutureShop was like that too in Canada and we see how well that went for them.

Technically most orange juice is considered bad because if you read the label ",from concentrate" that is a fancy term for processed.
