Show off your old and retro computer parts

Believe me, I was confused too. -
Can't find a way to delete an old Facebook account
Bitter replied to frontscript's topic in Programs, Apps and Websites
Yeah I think I unsubscribed from them all eventually, I haven't gotten one in a long time. Realistically it's in their financial interests to keep even inactive accounts from being deleted. I'm sure that's why they make it a pain. -

You know what I'm going to pull out my old Dell with it's Pentium M to see if it still boots. I had it out to see if I had a SSD in it, I do not. It's weird tho, PATA HDD but SATA optical but it can't hold the boot loader on the SATA HDD in the optical to 2.5 adapter for some reason so I have GRUB on the PATA and just point to the SATA in the optical bay. I can't believe how long I used it for, I'll check some file dates. Having just one core is what crippled it, but the screen was pretty terrible too. Good speakers tho, seems like everyone forgot how to put speakers on laptops. -

I've had 2 zombie accounts for over 10 years. Once in a while I get a notification via email that someone logged into or tried to log into them from India or Thailand or whatever but since I can't log in I can't do anything about it. -
Boot loader on SATA is not hacky at all, works great with GRUB.

UPGRADE in secret/ without IT Department knowing

Maybe the computer can have a happy little accident. Things happen, ya dig. -
Decided to be petty about this, found a corp contact email for customer experience, wrote a professional email asking about their processes, gonna blind side them with the picture of the item I received after I speak with them a little bit. Email formatting is a bit donked up on my phone, wasn't that messed up IRL lol but I tried to pass myself off as older by using indents for paragraphs. I mean I guess I am older lol but you know what I mean.

Well I guess fuck you Best Buy. Certified Refurbished my ass. At least it seems to be empty of data so either broken and returned before it was used and missed on inspection and never even wiped or it was broken after being wiped. Currently running data recovery on it to see if there was anything left on it then I'll check disk info on it to see how much it was read/written just out of curiosity before returning it. I'd rather have a working drive than my money back.

I've almost selected the wrong account of joint accounts like that before. My mom did once. It was a good laugh.

"Certified refurbished by Geek Squad" 870 Evo 1TB SSD for about $20 off. I need some laptop storage that doesn't need to be blazing fast but also needs to not be a spinning disk but I also need it to be reliable, I haven't had a Samsung SSD fail me yet. Now I can easily have my /home directory on a different drive entirely should I need to do a clean install or something nukes the boot drive.

I wish. Nissan SUV just suddenly appeared overnight with an absolutely shredded R/R tire. Just a key. No note, not call, no information at all in the vehicle. They called at noon "is it done?" Is what done? "my car" Which car? "the nissan?" Which Nissan? "the one with the tire!" ...No it's not done, who are you? "I'm the owner, it's supposed to be done this morning!" We open at 9, you called at noon "No you're 24 hours!" No no we are not open 24 hours "The tow was taking it to a 24 hours for my tire" Even if we were open 24 hours we would have had no way to get a hold of you to approve repairs or tell you if the wheel is bent. "My wheel is bent?!?" We haven't looked at it yet. "why not! It's been there all night!" We weren't open, we had no contact information, we don't touch anything without owner permission. "so I gotta pay another hunded n fifty to tow it somewhere 24 hours!" We can look at it but we need your information and we do charge a diag fee to look at it. "look at what? it's just a tire you can see that" Sir the tire is shredded and bare wheel is touching the ground, you drove on it flat we don't know if you damaged the wheel, tire pressure sensor, suspension, etc. "I DID NOT DROVE ON IT FLAT" On and on like that. As she's wrapping up the call like 15 minutes later "so how much the warranty pay for it?" Excuse me? "my warranty, I got warranty on it" Ok which company, what's your contract number, and what's the claim dept number? "I don't know just tell me how much they gonna pay" *she explains how a warranty claim works* "so its gonna be done before you close?" At this point she's getting a little red in the face with this guy. Told him that it would take up to 48 hours for the claims process with the warranty company to go through and we couldn't start until we had the needed information. Guy hangs up but we had permission to at least look at the car. So onto fuck up #2. Tell newbie to pull it in, take the wheel off, spin it on the balancer by hand to check for bends and make sure all 4 TPMS work. New guy dismounts the shredded tire. We need that rack for an alignment. I ask him if anyone told him to take the tire off the rim and after a long pause "uhhhh....no?" We have exactly ONE 18" tire, it's a low profile with a VERY hard sidewall we use to set engines and transmissions on. I help newbie mount it on the wheel so we can clear the rack. Car looks like when you put the tiniest wheels on in Mario Kart. It's now several hours later after lunch. Owner calls in with warranty info, call claims, claims needs tread depth on the shredded tire, depth is acceptable, they pay for one tire. Won't pay for the two bald tires up front at I shit you now 2/32nds. Told front desk if they want to be a dick call the cops to ticket him for bald tires, that's illegal in our state. Front desk says they'll see how the guy is when he picks up. Guy of course only gets the single tire that warranty pays for. Fuck it, Nissan AWD can handle 3 tires with different tread depths, not my problem.
