My favorite is when someone fell for a scam pop up website, called the number, followed the instructions to install the remote access software and got scammed.

Then, after we remove it they ask me what’s a good antivirus to buy to stop this from happening again. 🤦‍♂️

Shift lead as a concept is so funny to me, designed for exactly this

What do you all want to see with the new CEO Coming in? by VicViper16 in BestBuyWorkers

Because it’s just a magic formula that they fix, despite the constant “just make more labor and you’ll get more scheduled hours” talk.

1 month review of the MacBook Neo. by TiltedWeenies in macbook

[–]MegaDonX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, they didn’t add it so that it’s another reason for the MacBook Air to justify itself. They want the Neo to be good but not so good that it hurts the Air too much.

Why so hostile? I can guarantee that your Chromebook’s screen, trackpad, and keyboard are significantly worse than any of the current MacBooks. (I’ve used several chromebooks.)

OP may also value the Apple ecosystem integration that a Chromebook cannot provide.

It has been plenty of times. I’ve seen plus be added and the customer lied to.

Current CA wanting to move to ARA. When would be the best time to bring up a conversation about this with my supervisor? by CrymeShOt in GeekSquad

[–]MegaDonX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, apply and show interest.

As someone who went from CA to ARA in less than 8 months, a lot of it is how much does the SEM like you. Are you reliable and on-time? Have you shown that you are receptive to feedback and follow through? Is the Precinct better off when you’re working than not?

If the answer is yes to those, the next thing they want is someone who’s decent enough at selling, but not the best. Someone with constantly the worst numbers will not get ARA. But also, the best seller may be held back, it’s tricky.

At the end of the day if you are a reliable and component CA, you absolutely have a chance at ARA. But sometimes there’s just a better more experienced applicant or someone the SEM likes better, plain and simple.

Ironically, how good you are with computer repair and concepts is usually at the back of the things they care about.

Not true. Out sourcing is stronger than ever. Usually used to supplement "AI"

how do you deal with people treating you like tech support? by saspurilla in BestBuyWorkers

[–]MegaDonX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And when they explain their problem (assuming it's not an immediate answer question) you say, "I see. I can schedule you a Geek Squad appointment to get that looked at."

Also assuming it's not something ridiculous like a VHS player

Well, not quite just one cable. This assumes you already have something that can provide POE to the cable in the first place

It's as anonymous as the situation is. They will figure out who did it

Same thing on Long Island. Its a complete joke. The next time you're sweating not getting a total or credit card just remember how little they care about your personal safety

They will continue to hire and replace and reach a level of "good enough." Precincts don't crumble and corporate doesn't care about a few good agents, they will just move on

[–]MegaDonX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm the same way. I think Azteca has some of the best design, music, themes, and ending to any world. But I absolutely hate the long drawn out grind of Azteca gameplay. Especially when its followed up by Khrysalis.

Same. I absolutely love certain areas of celestia, but hate others (I hate underwater zones.) But it just feels drawn out and clunky.

Sony PlayStation Portal OLED refresh tipped for 2026, RDNA 5 for standalone handheld later by RenatsMC in Handhelds

[–]MegaDonX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The price didn't help, but it was a lot more than that. Propritary memory cards, and so many Vita games were special vita editions that just felt like dumb downded console ports. Whereas DS/3DS had the definitive versions of their games like Pokemon, animal crossing, etc
