beaker15 reacted to jslowik in The Geek Squad is Impressive
I have a fun story to tell. Quick background, I picked up a part time job at Best Buy as a register jockey while I finish up the internship requirement for my software development degree with another company. Just for some extra money, and to fill the hours. I mention that only to establish I work in a related industry, and at least pretend to know what I'm talking about. Today was my first day of training. While I was waiting for the individual from HR I was seated near the Geek Squad desk, and had the wonderful (mis)fortune of overhearing a wonderful exchange.
An older gentleman appeared to have just purchased a laptop, and was looking to get some stuff set up (I couldn't really hear his side of the conversation). What caught my attention was when the employee he was dealing with informed him that the only way to get security software was to pay for it. I was intrigued, but rationalized it to myself by saying she was just trying to keep it simple for him. Then it continued.
Next she asked him if he wanted Google Chrome installed. He seemed to be unsure of what that was. She explained to him that there are "a couple different kinds of search engines, we recommend Chrome, but Edge will also be on there". At this point it's all I can do to not laugh.
For most people this might be enough, but she wasn't done. The gentleman also wanted a password on the system. She asked him to write it down. After he wrote it down she proceeds to READ THE PASSWORD ALOUD.
I know expecting something like the Geek Squad to be staffed by top tier talent is unrealistic, but I feel like referring to a web browser as a search engine should be something that gets you sent to the back to unload trucks.
Anyway just wanted to share that with you guys. Maybe that's kind of par for the course for them, but I haven't really spent much time in any Best Buy in the last 10 years or so.
Thanks for listening!

Yah, posting in a thread about ethernet cables how they are the justice of the forum.
Back on topic: There isn't much of a reason for exclusivity in the VR world, especially this early on, is pretty moronic by developers. It's just starting out and needs to grow a lot before exclusive titles are released.

Maybe it's a secret code. I bet if you analyze it enough, it says "jet fuel can't melt steel beams"

I am so down for fpv racing, I can't wait to hone my skills to the point where I could participate. Buuuut, there's not much fpv racing in AZ
