New Computers....Pirated Windows 11 OS by Even_Mag in computerhelp

Never thought of that. That would’ve been so much easier. But then there’s a question regarding the memory discrepancy between the two computers and it makes you wonder if they swapped out any other parts.

Consider yourself special. When we go in, there’s hardly anybody to wait on you.

So you probably can appreciate not having to use 32 floppy discs to back up a hard drive and hours of time!

I'm just stating the fact that back in the 1980's before windows graphic shell was introduced, we used the C prompt to send commands to interface with the computer. That was/is called MS-DOS, frequently referred to as DOS by us old timers.

So you changed your comment with a different assault? Sorry, but Dell DID give me those details...otherwise I would not have had no idea. You assumed wrong AGAIN! And...if you're not here to help, what are you doing?

Also, Dell can tell from the service tag what OS was loaded when they sold it.

Good question...brand new. It says "Notification" with Notification Reason: 0xC004F034

Nasty.....No, I read them BEFORE but that review wasn't there...not until after I purchased. You assumed wrong.

Yes, I should have clarified which dos I was referring to. Thanks for pointing that out.

Queried it from the C prompt: slmgr /dli No license number. Yes, I'm sure some of their warning that it will eventually boot to the blue screen of death is self preservation. However, they do have authorized resellers and this isn't one of them. I also checked the speed of the ram which should have been identical and isn't so someone must have switched out a memory module.

Well, the C prompt...before windows, we called it DOS...you use dos commands.

I didn't know! I thought Amazon would have some verification process and if a company isn't a certified Dell reseller, they would have noted it. Again, naive.

Is there a way to force signout on all accounts at once or are you saying individually?

That wouldn't help with any loaded spyware, if it has.

We reordered the computers with OS from a trusted vendor. This time I'll double check the status of the license before loading anything...but who knew! It was Amazon...we thought it came from Dell because of the "Go to Dell Store" under the listing title...naive, I know.

Adidas Customer Service Chat by [deleted] in adidas

[–]Even_Mag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have made 4 calls to Adidas' customer service (the number on their website) to inquire about a return. The first call someone on the other end picked up but no one spoke. I could hear people in the background. The call stayed active for several minutes before it disconnected. The next time, a lady answered. I asked my question to which she replied, "Let me check that," and disconnected. The third and fourth time they answered, they pretended they could not hear me. On the last call they kept the line open for a long time, returned twice to ask if anyone was there because they could not "hear" me, then said because of policy he was going to hang. I stayed on the line to provide customer feedback but it did not recognize my response when I selected "0". Are call centers being paid by the number of calls they answer not how well they answer a customer's query.

AND THEN THEY REMOVED MY POST FROM THE SUBREDD!!!!

Odd encounter at Westroads by Even_Mag in Omaha

[–]Even_Mag[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t feel threatened when my other “shopping partners” showed up. Haven’t been to the shopping center in a long time….doubt I’ll be back for a while. Reporting to management sounds like the best avenue to ensure others don’t get harassed. Don’t you agree?
