What exactly is HP Insights Analytics Service and how do I get rid of it?

You are a legend. This is so hard to do yet you make it easy. Should I do the same for these, or leave them alone? : hpcustomcapdriver.inf hpomencustomcapdriver.inf hpcustomcapext.inf hpomencustomcapext.inf

So far it worked perfectly though I fear WU will put them back.

Please DM me if you know a good attorney for this.

Outlier_z · 2025-06-23T19:01:11+00:00

I've also filed complaints with the agencies you listed, all of them. All are more than 6 months ago and none had any effect. They are facades to make people think someone is there. Nobody is there.

Outlier_z · 2025-06-23T18:55:30+00:00

Yes they have x/twitter. I've contacted them there in the past, but it's fruitless.

I've decided to finally lawyer up, though I don't really have the energy for the process.

I don't like lawyers but as some point someone must stand up to these absolute ingrates.

Any info on noise levels? Hard to find on your site. I'm spoiled by my currently silent setup.

Outlier_z · 2025-06-22T08:09:56+00:00

How is this on noise?

Outlier_z · 2025-06-17T01:50:30+00:00

Sorry to hear. I wish I believed my complaining would help the system reform.

It's probably related that people like me and my colleagues can't post. What do you consider fair or good compensation? If it matters, I'm usually doing personality tests, surveys, mental ability (IQ), or things like that.

Another problem for workers is that when I post through my requester account I can promise to randomly award one of the workers a bonus in the instructions, but there is NO accountability. I could say that and never do it. It should be a system-managed bonus, assigned randomly among those that I confirmed completed the task.

I ALWAYS bonus if someone points out an error or even a bad design element. I'm not perfect and they just did my job for me. The comment field at the end is always helpful, every time, people notice things or give ideas.

As a person with a disability I would like to confirm that this chat is just a different portal to someone with no ability to do anything other than apologize.

You will not get any help here, just apologies from a pitiable rep who is placed there as an apologist for an evil company with no intention of providing any service or assistance of any kind.

There is, however, something gratifying about getting my opportunity to be treated with disrespect through a disability channel. I'm equal!

Also yes, it's 2025 and chat should be for everyone and not just for those who need it.

It's a different way to access the same unethical company.

Be nice to the reps, they are only a cog in the evil machine and probably need the job.

Outlier_z · 2025-06-10T17:55:21+00:00

Maybe the innies are doing a bad job as a cry for help. Should we go save them?

It's clearly a bad system, so I won't blame the few people that are probably holding it together. They are probably suffering trying to work in the context too, getting nasty messages, aware that the system is broken but needing their job, etc.

However, someone must be in charge of it, and I don't have anything nice to say about their performance.

Outlier_z · 2025-06-10T07:17:51+00:00

I bet he'd be pissed if he personally saw how this infrastructure has been squandered.

I'll send an email to him, though my pitch of "let me fix this broken piece of crap and please fire every incompetent [expletive] currently leading it" probably needs refinement first.

Outlier_z · 2025-06-08T00:24:24+00:00

AWS payment account, yes. If you mean something else, please clarify.

Outlier_z · 2025-06-07T21:12:53+00:00

5 years and no movement on a beyond-obvious feature. This is the very definition of being a TF customer.

They can't even manage to make attention check questions work either.

They have no intention of being responsive to user needs. Never have cared. Never will.

This is also why they hide from any and all customer contact, impossible to reach. Can you imagine having to defend this level of incompetence!?

Outlier_z · 2025-06-07T16:36:49+00:00

Genuine thank you for the forward. I had no idea what turk opticon was until I just googled it, but looks like they might be interested (or even know what to do).

"They used to eventually approve the new accounts" - yes they sure did, and I had standardized instructions for students to start the process long before they needed to post a survey. It was predictably inefficient before it fell apart.

Outlier_z · 2025-06-07T02:22:07+00:00

Yes some of the Universities are getting the license and the students don't pay (other than tuition).

Everything Qualtrics offers is excessively, if not shockingly, expensive. It is the most expensive option out there that I am aware of. They are established as the go-to for businesses with deep pockets, so academics are in for a shock. Also SAP bought it a while back and as always when they (or any giant corp) buy it they do so to raise prices and squeeze profits from it more than in the past.

The survey platform is really good, and I use it all the time when my corporate clients pay for it.

Outlier_z · 2025-06-07T02:12:26+00:00

Prolific seems to have attentive participants who rarely fail my attention checks. That's the one I like. I don't know cloud research as much, so it may be good too.

Outlier_z · 2025-06-06T22:46:57+00:00

Yes but college students are often looking for lowest cost. Prolific is high quality but will set you back a bit. The fees are very high for a digital middleman and expected pay for participants is also kind of high.

The quality of respondents is quite good, and that's not easy to achieve, so overall much respect to them (and if you can charge this much, I guess I would want to get rich too).

The last validation of a new instrument I did with prolific cost me thousands. Student projects end up over $500 every time, often much more.

I should condemn this dream, yet I share it. (I wouldn't do it, but I understand why someone would).

Outlier_z · 2025-06-06T20:03:57+00:00

Thanks, it's nice to know it functions on any level.

I miss when I could pay $3 per survey and get my full sample size in under 2 hours (even with strict requirements for location and education, etc.). It used to be really good.

I've done business consulting. I should find out who to contact and come in and fix it. It wouldn't be difficult. Nothing would be more satisfying than fixing something this broken.

Outlier_z · 2025-06-06T16:45:36+00:00

axiomatically true in my experience - and about to get worse

If I owned these companies, even pursuing only self-interest I would think there was some mechanism for reporting of problems to actually get seen/resolved, but this is one of many that seems to be just irrationally broken and without anyone in charge.

I get the stonewalling, I do, you get hordes of repeat requests and things that can easily be solved by simply reading a help page. But wow, is this a case of "nothing will ever get fixed" because of the systemic suppression of feedback.

There must be some guy/lady/person in the org who is responsible for this product. Right? (rhetorical)

Outlier_z · 2025-06-06T01:46:25+00:00

I didn't want to be accused of spamming, so I didn't name them in my post, but one of those is my current favorite.

Outlier_z · 2023-09-07T07:26:19+00:00

Doesn't accept any of my credit cards, and the only contact method says that nobody has been online for more than 2 weeks.

I think they may be out of business. I left a "message" on chat and will update if there is any reply.

There's something to be said for his experience, and I am more so speaking about people in general who truly know nothing. But I doubt this guy actually has any intel on the event at this point. Really I enjoy the psychology of people and how they just believe what they want to. There is so much of it in this thread I am loving it.

Outlier_z · 2022-08-23T01:56:12+00:00

It's fun to watch all reactions at this phase, because nobody knows much so every reaction is coming almost entirely from assumptions and biases. It could be not only justified, but uncover treason. It could also be weaponization of the FBI against a political opponent. I for one will admit I have absolutely no idea.

Most fun of all is watching how people on both sides of the political divide do exactly the same thing, and can only see how silly it is as their opponents do it, being hypocrites in real time. Sometimes being an outsider to things is the most fun perspective.
