LMAO!! aww reminds me of my tech support days.

There was a picture I saw before and it said "goes to parents for thanksgiving, 5 new toolbars in IE :( "

made me lol

yesterday I worked on some guys laptop.

He had Vista and was missing Sp2. Had a really old version of java, almost every 3rd party application was out of date and for Antiviruses he had..

Microsoft Security Essentials

Windows Defender

Mcafee Internet Security

Web Root secure anywhere

PC tools antispyware + Antivirus.

and Symantec endpoint (think that's what it was called)

All were either trials or expired. Except for the endpoint I think the college gave him that one.

That is funny warwagon, but nearly as funny as when I was working IT for a local insurance firm, and had to replace a computer because the old lady who worked the cubicle kept watering her fake plastic plant sitting on top of it...

...Or that time a customer repeatedly called us about his PC sporadically hanging and the HDD clicking. We sent the local IT guys on location, the side of the PC case had 38 of those fridge magnets on it....

Didn't they disprove the whole magent and hard drive thing?

No idea.

But fact is, with them there the problems arose, without them everything was fine. This was then tested a bit more by the local site admin where,a t least in this case, the influence of magnets was confirmed.

For fun, he then organised a day called "bring in your fridge magnet". The whole PC case was covered with fridge magnets. The PC wouldn't even boot.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow

      Chrome is Google's commercial web browser product; it consists of their proprietary features (Googlified everything including profile sync) plus their chromium project barebones web browser. Google developers control the chromium project. The chromium project is the "core" for the web browser product from other vendors including Microsoft Edge (their own proprietary features), Opera (their own features), Brave (their own features), etc... The "downstream" teams at Microsoft, Opera, Brave, etc., can either integrate their original MV2-supporting code into future builds, or they can integrate chromium wholesale and simply add-on their own features/functionalities -- their 'current' build pipeline, so to speak. THIS is why changes at the chromium project affect so many products besides only Google's commercial Chrome browser. -- Edit to add: The chromium project is open-source, and is the piece that's Google's code contribution to the W3C and world wide web at large; there are no licensing fees for others to use the code in their own products... which is what they do. Other browser engines do exist (Firefox's for example) but it's nearly impossible to have both engines bundled into the same 1 browser product.

      You're comparing settler colonies to colonized war torn nations. It's easy to become the richest by coming in and stealing other people's land, culture and resources.

      ABP has become "old news" when MV3 started rolling out. They've gone downhill and is now simply irrelevant..... in my experience.

      About two years ago, I switched to Brave and haven't looked back.

      FWIW StatCounter has been trash for over 25+ years! Back in the day (circa 2000 and GeoCities pre-Blogger era), it was useful to paste a number on your webpage indicating how many visitors you had. In the ensuing 25+ years, they've grown in reputation and changed their ways... but their overall consumer value has remained abysmal. Serious marketing agencies only cite StatCounter when there's literally no other sources available to support any marketing claims! They are the absolute lowest threshold serious companies use to push any sort of narrative about this-or-that happening. Besides their credibility being what it is, they are forever subject to quality issues. They're so bad that my DNS-level ad-filter prevents me from even viewing their main website! HA!
