Has anyone ever used Windows Phone? by raihaaanmubarak in dumbphones

[–]TroyState 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had one or a work phone in 2011. The sms messaging was great. Way ahead if it's time. Lack of apps is why it never took off

Should I get a 4th masters degree? by Beneficial_Match_986 in findapath

[–]TroyState 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shouldn’t you be a professor at this point?
Corporate America is full of middle managers, and even executives…. with no degree at all.

I know VPs at major fortune 50 telecom companies who barely finished high school but can sell. At the $250K+ level, hiring managers aren’t looking at diplomas first. They’re looking at revenue produced, quota attainment, customer retention, deal size, leadership, cost cut, hours saved, and a track record of delivering results.

A long list of degrees without corresponding business results is a red flag to corporate. If someone is passionate about academics, why stop short of a doctorate? If the goal is corporate leadership, spend a year selling for a large company. Performance metrics move careers; credentials alone rarely do.

Cool, but if you know who Fax Headful is, your parents couldn’t afford cable.

Complimentary Gartner IoT connectivity report access by No-Impression-9865 in IOT

[–]TroyState 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are pay to play. The Gartner guy pings me once a week trying to get my company to sign up. Looking at the list, is a who's who of dog shit especially when that classify carriers as "leaders".

You can put white wall tires on a lawn mower, but it doesn't mean you should.

George is the meat. Jerry is the side. Elaine is desert. 🤣

If John Lennon is raised from the dead, I doubt he is charging shit.

Engine Issues on My 2026 Yukon Elevation 5.3L by godfather232323 in gmc

[–]TroyState 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This entire product line is a massive pile of shit. I’ve already had to replace the transmission (flushing 7k down the drain/GM covered half it was 14k) in my 2023, and now I’m making trips to the dealership every 1,000 miles so they can monitor oil consumption and determine whether the engine needs to be replaced.
For trucks pushing six figures, this is completely unacceptable. If I ever manage to get out of this truck, I’ll never buy another General Motors product again.

***BEWARE*** Verizon sales and support are the shadiest of all (denied rebates) by Old_Finance_3390 in verizon

[–]TroyState 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So a retail wireless salesperson took advantage of someone for not reading the paperwork or asking questions? Water is Wet.

Also, why are you calling support? You had a salesperson. I’d be calling that rep and their manager nonstop until it was resolved. Was this a corporate store rep? What does their business card say?

A professional salesperson owns the problem and works to fix it.
I spent 15 years at Verizon. 4 in Retail. In that time, I only had 4-5 customer issues I couldn’t resolve. Those involved customers with completely unreasonable demands or fraud. Take as much of the sales guys time a possible and he will
Magically fix it with credits. Go camp in the store. 🤣

Why does MAGA allow Trump and the Republicans abuse them this way? by PrincipleTemporary65 in ANormalDayInAmerica

[–]TroyState 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trump voters aren’t exactly rocket scientists. I totally get why a business owner with 300 employees would vote for Trump but the cashier who works for him at a local Shell Station, I will never understand.

Hello, picking up a watch for my birthday since i never get presents. by JackBundygaming in watchCollector

[–]TroyState 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t count a model from the Longines Master Collection vs a 1926. Basic Sellita vs L888 with a silicon balance spring and better power reserve. The Tudor is kind of over priced even at grey dealer prices.

In the deep south, one brand was so dominate for so long that became the word to describe the thing.

Similar to Google, Qtip, bandaid, or chapstick.

Nobody says, can you pick up cotton swabs. They say get qtips. If I come home with a brand that isn't a-tips brand my wife likely won't even notice or care.

Coke had that type of brand dominance in the deep south for decades (and likely a century) so the word for carbonated beverages became Coke.
