HP wants their 17'' LCDs back


Recommended Posts

This doesn't surprise me one bit about HP. I USED to work for them in their phone support for pavillion and I remember themm telling me in no uncertain terms I was to try and find ways to charge the customer $25 for Unsupported support. I also remember that we were instructed to do everything possible to try and avoid issuing returns on certain parts (Modems mosst noteable). When i asked for clarification I was instructed "We will cut our return rate for part x by %50 and save Y and that is the bottom line". Of course the funny thing was I remember the lady in charge (or close to being in charge) of the pavilion lineup talking to us about how HP's support needed to be more like Dell's

Again I am a EX-Employee, I also do not know the current state of affairs at HP.

wow, i went out for dinner with some friends and come back to this thread.

i feel sorry for all those who didn't receive theirs yet or had their orders canceled.

i referred this deal to my friend, and he's been trying to buy the monitor since wednesday or thursday, when the promotion was still valid, but has only met with sales reps saying it never existed, that he submit my order number to prove it was real, that they're going to get me and charge me, and finally, a senior manager hung up on him.

it's great that we're in the news, and hopefully hp takes notice. so where do we go from here?

hey guys, a friend of mine just linked me to this http://www.circuitcity.com/detail.jsp?b=g&...=detail&c=1&b=g

which I ordered one... at least I won't miss out a good deal, if I don't like it, I will just sell it online or return... (better than not having the chance at all I guess)

do you mind if I post the screenshot and the voice mail on my site?

My brother got his last week, but HP told all his co-workers today that they will not be getting theirs (haven't talked to him since he left work, so don't know if he's gotten the email or phone call yet)

I say spread it around, and get the word out - we can't let them get away with this one!

HP sucks, and its even worse now they've merged with Compaq, My company used to deal with HP, until they merged with Compaq then we dropped them and stopped using & selling their products.

The company had previously delt with Compaq long ago, such a bad experience that we cancelled HP soon as they were aquiring Compaq.

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There's a brand-new update rolling out to Nvidia's GeForce NOW streaming service, and like every week, that means more games have received support on the platform. This week's drop has additions like Aphelion and Pro Cycling Manager 26 attached to it. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active too. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Moreover, Nvidia reiterated that support for GOG single sign-in and game library is incoming this summer, joining stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox. "Connect supported game store accounts and stream titles with GeForce RTX power. Games that include cloud-save functionality help keep progress intact across devices," added the company. "Start a game on one screen, pick up where playtime left off on another, and spend less time managing installs and storage space." Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Embers of the Uncrowned Demo (New release on Steam, available 13) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 15) Aphelion (Steam) Citizen Sleeper (Epic Game Store, Free from June 18-25) Megastore Simulator (Steam) OPERATOR (Steam) Super Meat Boy 3D (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month, with extra time being purchasable in chunks.

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
