Typical scenario now for doing anything in this industry. I actually quit buying anything each time i am reminded of how little they want my money, how bad the software and hardware is now , how rotten any type of support exists, and how busy they must be talking to eachother and formulating new ways to program code that requires 8 sublevels of some goofy open source thing and connect to 15 places on the web that will be dead links in 6 months.
How busy it must make them to formulate all the ways to avoid us and put us through torturous methods to be able to communicate with some human, through a machine.
a Machine that on THIER side is failing 10 times more often than mine does.
Ya Have Minor problem, mabey software mabey hardware, just a wee thing, need a update, or a bios item, or a driver, just need to tell developer or company something, a 2 min task in 1985, but its 2011 so it goes more like this . . .
4 days of pulling your hair out trying to figure out what is wrong, and trying 50 different versions of some buggy garbage that was programmed in Java, net framework, or even runs off a web page from some broken server out there in La La land. Yes "the Cloud" is going to fix it, LOLOLOL
cryptic errors that are 100% meaningless , but you just hope that the error actually points to what you or it is doing wrong, and spend the next month of your life trying to correct something that wasnt even the problem.
Auto updaters, that have to update themselves monthly because they are buggy pieces of non-operational junk too, then you finnaly get an update , that is merly a Enlargement process, it fixes nothing , but stays hard for more than 4 hours![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
28 hours of Web research, to discover that 1.8million people have the same problem, the company denies even exists. There are 10,000 wize cracks , 8,000 incorrect assumptions, 4,000 you should buy this insteads, and 12,000 "RMA it alreadys".
add to that 50,000 totally wrong answers, and 9000 spammers that sneaked in after the threads had sunk. 14,000 dead links, and 400000 pages of outdated information (in the stickies).
That included having to Log-on to 87 different forums , to read anything, or see the links, all with 7 layer deep authentications, and Cryptic CAPTCHA codes, that only a computer could actually decipher, humans cant. this 87 authentications fail 50% of the time with timeouts or server failures, thanks to the rest of the beloted trash software and hardware that They also have not fixed, or found a stable usable version of. Luckily most of these people never realise that they are also riddled with error , because it disconnects the human existance therin.
Finnaly all you need is some update or firmware , Piece of cake go to thier site download it. Sure ya right.
you get to the site and everything looks like its encoded for a orwellian computer that has taken over humanity and eats humans for power.
Assuming that you find something, nothing is tagged marked and no human other than the developer could possibly understand what that even belongs to.
wwhy729.993 <--- you tell me what hardware this Zip is a driver for![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
somone forgot to tell them that for the last 20 years we have been able to have 255 charachters in a file name, at least 64 would be safe to use.
Parts and pieces, if you ever do find the right one, it is some psycotic COMBO of misnamed things and revisions. you can have the computer sort it out later, it does that so well![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
first you have to log -in to some china site , aparentally in china they have about 27bits of bandwidth for the whole country, but are making trash for the whole world. so each time you type in about 20 cryptic numbers and of model numbers, revisions, firmware revisions , for every piece of hardware on your computer. (remember nobody else has ever had that problem before) Because they didnt make it through the MINEFEILD to tell you.
You type the information into what is little more than a RAW piece of text crap, and ask yourself WTF did it take all this Hell for to do little more than send a Post-It note to them.
Error , jump human , fail, jump human , error, fall human, fail , human pull hair out, error fail, all to send a piece SIMPLE TEXT less than 300 words long , to a human.
Welcome to 1970
we can do that.
Think about that again for a moment, you can get up to 4 Failures 3 authentications, 2 log-ins , and ALL your doing is writing 2 things on a post-it note and dumping it in some idiots inbox.
Server times out, apachee has an error, session timesd out, sorry log in again?
Is it no wonder WHY the economy has dissolved into oblivion, so has customer care, so has support, so has the entire infrastructre of communications.
and all i wanted was a cookie.
so go make another Web interface, figure out another authentication and exasperation method, fix your rotting server, pump out more Beta garbage ,or right here, i am Human, i dont fail at every step, in 20 seconds i can tell you the problem, in 20 seconds you can solve it. you wasted your whole life screwing us both.
the only thing that won was the computer, and to it you lost your job.
