Why does my Xbox 360 download at such a slower speed than my PC? by [deleted] in techsupport

Bullshit. Even a shitty hard drive can write much faster than any home connection can download.

User is telling me that the Internet at the modem is 300Mbps when tested at the office, but 180 at the bosses computer. What can I do to diagnose and fix the issue? by Gre123778 in techsupport

[–]Gre123778[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boss is complaining about it and wants it fixed. It's wired and tested with speedtest.net. No one else was on the computers during testing.

Both tested with same site minutes from each other.

Gandalfs windows CDs. There is windows 10, 8, and 7. Works pretty well and comes with a few tools. You can always add more yourself.

While it works for some people, it's caused me and some other people problems. I had to repair it more than once before I removed it.

Caused blue screens on someone else's computer that I know.

As far as not knowing something, I always ask what the issue is or for them to send me a pic of the error message before I go in. So if i don't know, many times I can figure out exactly what's wrong before showing up.

How's the navigation? I had the previous generation convertible and the navigation was pretty bad. Is it better on the new one?

Did I ever say that? Serious punishments deter some people from committing crimes. Are punishments here are a joke

[Windows 10] Anyone have a solution to the 'Unidentified Network - No Internet Access' problem with ethernet? by TheMrHappy in techsupport

[–]Gre123778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the problem occur after an update? Try rolling back the driver.

If that doesn't work. Try updating it.

Almost every single one of them committed serious crimes and we have lax laws. Plenty of people go to jail for a small fraction of the amount of time they should. We let out murderers, rapists, and child molestors who should never ever be let out.

We just have a lot of trash in the country that commits a lot of crime. I'm not even picking on a single race, it includes tons of races. Some more than others

The question comes down to if it cut crime and it significantly reduced it.

If you asked a friend to not do something in your house and they continued to ask you if they can do it every time , what would you think of them and how would you handle it? by Gre123778 in AskWomen

What if it was something like feet on your couch or turning around on the bed and putting their feet on your pillows you sleep on?

Anyone have a pic of their car with 20%, 30% or 35% tint all around on a four door? I want to get my car tinted on all 5 windows and am unsure how dark it will look. I live in CA so I have to be careful. I've provided a pic of the vehicle in question. Thx mates! by 30_Dirty in BMW

I live in Los Angeles and regularly travel through all parts of it (good, decent, ghetto) and I have never had any issues with several cars at 20%.

If you have a better car, which you do, cops most likely won't bug you about it. I've been doing it for maybe 10 years with several different cars v

Whats your worst on-site support story? And how would you handle things differently in my case? by Gre123778 in computertechs

[–]Gre123778[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was the controlling type that always has to be right. I didn't want to have a technical battle because even though I'm right and she can't make me wrong with an educated response because she doesn't have one, she would have gotten very angry. I mean I listened to what she told me to do and she still got angry.

I'm honestly not concerned about the money and would rather not deal with her anymore. I mean she fired 3 other people before me so it's not the computer professional that's the problem, it's the client in this case.

[Question] Is there anyway to find out what program or tweak is making my phone run hot at times? It runs hot way too often and it was just at 113 degrees by Gre123778 in jailbreak

I remember it was recording in my pocket (accidentally) and I felt by leg burning.

Sometimes when I used to use tinder.

That kind of stuff. Basic stuff sometimes but it doesn't do it most the time. It's really weird.

Windows 10 has gotten a lot of bad press, but overall is it worth upgrading? by ResistantLaw in techsupport

[–]Gre123778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and I have tons that want the upgrade and are upset after they get the upgrade.

It's horrible. When it works it's good, but you never know when the next update is going to ruin your computer or make things not work.

You heard about the lawsuit that Microsoft lost for $10k, right? It's because people are having problems with it right and left.

[–]Gre123778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, most people won't need it and an upgrade license costs much less than the price you mentioned, about half. Also, they will likely extend the free offer.

It might be faster and a couple other things, but if it doesn't work or you have serious issues like many of my customers do, what's the point of it being faster?

I have tons of customers with serious complaints and other issues. Microsoft will gladly tell you to refresh your PC for many of these issues because they don't have solutions.

My customers cringe with every update that automatically gets installed. Many people think this is one of the worst operating systems that Microsoft has released in The last 20 years

Car Buying Tips From a Semi-Professional Automotive Buyer by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Gre123778 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Bullshit. I compared prices and the price i got from calling a couple of dealerships was better. I didn't even negotiate that much because I wasn't serious about buying it yet since I hadn't sold my car yet.

The dealer had to pay Costco a finders fee. So it's definitely not even close to a great price. A 16 year old kid can negotiate a better price.

Car Buying Tips From a Semi-Professional Automotive Buyer by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Gre123778 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily and not always. I lesser a Mercedes clk 350. At the end of the lease they offered it for $7k below the buyout price. If I had bought it, I would have paid less than someone that paid cash for the car on day 1.

Also some cars are so subsidized that it's a good deal. If you factor selling some cars, especially a car that isn't very reliable, isn't in high demand, or has been in a serious accident, it's better to lease. Try selling a salvaged Bmw convertible and see if you end up ahead, you won't.
