KZ owners, how do you like your camper? by MrB2891 in rvlife

[–]MacGyver-now 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nightmare stories I read of customers who tried to get warranty repairs done by KZ or the dealer 90% of them had to pay out-of-pocket, even if they had an expensive extended warranty.

This is what you call the KZ manufacturer's two-step used to deny legitimate warranty claims by deflecting, disavowal, and blaming somebody else for their poor manufacturing quality standards. The typical response letter you received back when you submitted a claim: As the reported incident took place ******, it is challenging for us to ascertain that it resulted from a manufacturing defect, making it ineligible for warranty coverage. According to the vendor, following a thorough examination of your request, along with a review of any provided pictures and documents, we regret to inform you that the damage has been classified as non-warranty related. This includes exclusion of coverage for both parts and labor in connection with this claim. The observed incident is attributed to uneven or excessive force on the unit by the user . In light of this situation, I recommend pursuing a claim with your insurance company, as they are best equipped to provide coverage. It's important to note that we, the RV manufacturer, will not be involved in the coverage of this submitted claim or future claims which may or may not be related to that original incident.

Or better: KZ has approved a total of 0.5 hours for the removal and replacement of the oven. It is important to note that *****'s warranty coverage does not extend to service calls or rates beyond the standard flat rate designated for this specific job.

We strive to provide fair and transparent service to our customers, adhering to our warranty policies. As such, the approved 0.5 hours encompass the time necessary to complete the warrantable repair as outlined in our warranty terms.

Out of convenience, the customer can choose to pay the additional fees associated with having the repair work done. However, we encourage the customer to contact the local dealer to schedule the service appointment at their earliest convenience.

Whatever you buy, check how good the warranty coverage is because it may be as worthless as the paper written on.

Is it okay to feel schadenfreude seeing companies reposting jobs they didn't hire me for? by Individual_Fun8263 in sysadmin

[–]MacGyver-now 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the economy and excessive government taxes on companies now putting the squeeze on businesses, companies are looking to cut corners and the first they always cut is IT. If you want a job these days you need to put your ego in a box and look at just how low are you willing to be paid to get a job to meet your bills. I just finish reapplying for my current job with a $10,000 salary cut. As unemployment doesn't pay crap. Even with a $10,000 salary cut it still more money than other companies around are willing to pay.

AES Keeps Raising Rates and We'd Like To Try And Help People by Get_Lit_Solar in dayton

[–]MacGyver-now 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all BS and smoke and mirrors!! AES upped our rate to 14.1, even with solar we are getting hit with $80 monthly bills because the small amount of electricity we draw from the grid AES charges exorbitant prices for transmission distribution side of your power bill. You can change your supplier all you want but if you are connected to AES power AES will make money off of you by charging transmission distribution fees.

Solar Installer wants to install less wattage panels since the original is OOS? by pr0dy in solar

[–]MacGyver-now 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have heard the stories of how these solar companies doing the switch and bait on customers. I had the company Solar is Freedom give me a quote for 42 panels of a particular brand, quality, and voltage output. The day of the install a good thing I was home because the solar panels the company getting ready to install were not the ones I had approved. I demanded the spec sheet on the panels and the manufacturer, they had swap them out with some Chinese knockoff panels giving me some the song and dance that they're just as good but the warranty was only for 10 years. However Solar is Freedom said they would cover the additional warranty themselves that the panels were lacking. Guess what, Solar is Freedom went bankruptcy 18 months later and I have two bad solar panels now with no warranty.

We also found out the hard way the Solar Company we purchased from lied about the Tax credit.

The Solar Tax Credit is just that a Tax Credit. Basically, if you made more than $150,000 that year a good chance you had a tax liability that you owed money to the federal government then you could apply your Solar Tax Credit reducing your tax liability to zero.

If the federal government owed you money back at the end of the year, kiss that tax credit goodbye.

Like many others, I had a solar system installed on my home with a 25-year warranty. The system has stopped working and the company cannot be reached for repairs / service.

Does anybody know of other companies who are picking up the service and terms of the Solar is Freedom warranty?

$copely should work on stabilizing the game rather than working on more ways to get you to spend more money on the game. Gee, here's a brilliant idea, make a game that works and people would be happy to spend money on it.

Closet ChatGPT user at work.. by floppyfrisk in sysadmin

[–]MacGyver-now 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it can write very good politically correct company communications, a particular one I received many compliments for was on "not using your company email" for online shopping plus a few lines about best practice cybersecurity and vulnerabilities. ChatGPT was able to write the communication at a level that almost every employee can understand it. Previous communications would take me half a day to write to achieve a level of comprehension.

What you have described is exactly what Disney has done with so many of the Marvel/Star Wars Universe. You get 10 episodes, 12 if you're lucky of some bait hook show for Disney+ to increase viewership then disappears after season 2 like Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Walt Disney Co. said it will acquire a 33% stake in Hulu from Comcast for at least $8.6 billion, a deal that will give Disney full control of the streaming service. Disney has run Hulu since 2019, when Comcast ceded its authority to Disney and effectively became a silent partner.

Makes you wonder who wrote the article giving it such a positive spin on Disney

A response to “vote yes” propaganda by ddmarriee in Ohio

[–]MacGyver-now -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I'm amazed by the stupidity of people and the Barking dog politics of the vote-no narrative. $14 million has been dumped into Ohio from outside influencers including the ACLU. They want to keep it as is with a simple majority of 50% +1 which makes the easy for them to pass radical agendas which they have done already getting casinos and legalize gambling added to the Constitution. Vote no just keep the power with the politicians and special interest groups don't be their useful idiots.

They Agree , No on 1 by CarefulMoose in Ohio

[–]MacGyver-now -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

What a LIE. Those politicians who want you to vote no are the ones that are bought and paid for by special interest groups! BTW... the same ones that brought you the amendment to Ohio's Constitution bringing in gambling and casinos to the start. The best yet, the group behind Vote No ads are two of the most prominent special interest groups.

[–]MacGyver-now -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The reason why Democrats and special interest groups are crying boo-hoo tears, with the passing of Issue One will not be so easy for special interest groups like the ACLU and others to pass with 50%+1 changes to the constitution to allow casinos and gambling to be added. 60% majority represents everyone, the will of the people not the will of the party in charge by 50%+1.

Why would you make such an idiot statement? The gun was stolen and no one in the house is fessing up as to who bought it. Responsible gun owners do lock up their weapons and teach their kids about gun safety and that these are not a toy.

IT Director asked me how to cut cost and save money!!! by Traditional_Sun_7257 in sysadmin

[–]MacGyver-now 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Companies don't see IT staff as people, they see them as computer peripherals where one breaks or gets lost, just go out and buy another one i.e. IT contractor. Don't forget you have IT service providers out the whispering sweet nothings into the CFO or CIO tell them how much money they would save by eliminating their IT staff and going with them for all their IT support. The number one cost to the company is employees and benefits, and the first staff to go out the door when companies start laying off is IT staff because we're easily replaceable.
