laying into who??  Stop getting your panties all in a bunch over someone stating that there is not enough info given to tell someone to replace hardware...  JFC is this forum made up of 13 year old girls on their first period or what ;)

 

All I said was there was not enough info and any such advice would be guess work

 

"How anyone can point to the POS hardware failing with the amount of info given is just pure and utter guess work..  There is nothing that points to any sort of hardware failure at all as of yet."

 

When you made claim that you know because of experience I went into example of what information was missing that makes impossible to make such a claim.

 

nic overheating because of it being a busy day for transactions..  Come on - you can't honestly think that the case..  Is that card pumping out full pipe for hours and hours, ok maybe... It sending and receiving the tiny amount of data that is a transaction is just plain nonsense..  Talk about jumping to conclusions with no information at all..

 

WTF... You try and have a conversation and exchange your opinion on a subject and comments made and you get made out to be some asshat... 

I'm scared of you BM! :-p 

 

I am going to post a new thread in a min with something I have never seen before in a well over a decade of my career/experience... I will look forward to your reply ha.

Which is why "asking questions to understand" is important, and a big part of some of the questions I ask in interviews to determine how a support technician obtains answers leading to a correct diagnosis.

I'm sorry, @BudMan. Really, I am. It's been a long couple of weeks. We've been helping a niece with her mother who had cancer, and it was in end-stage. It was my girlfriends' sister, and someone I was pretty tight with. She passed away yesterday afternoon.

 

My nerves have been pretty frayed and my temper pretty short. Her family doesn't deal with death well, and it's been difficult to deal with all of them collectively. I apologize for coming down on you like that.

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By WaltC · Posted

      The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...

      Is it still super slow or has it improved on that area?
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 finally stops trusting a critical system threat

      By NXTwoThou · Posted

      There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
