I agree with aStRaLgOd, although the Intel Pentium 4 Advert is equally as bad. Both the normal alien one in the spaceship and the mobile P4 advert where the alien is floating in space.

Very bad, they should have stuck to the blue men...

The absolute WORST computer-related commercial I've ever seen has to be for a company called the "Buck A Day Company."

They are trying to sell this IBM NetVista PC (making it out to sound oh so powerful with it's 64 MB of RAM and 20 GB HDD) to people for only a dollar a day.

What's worse? The commercial is played to the song "Better off Alone" by Alice Deejay, however it's not the official song. They changed the lyrics to fit their products, asking consumers "do they really want a clone..."

If you haven't seen it, just watch any major Canadian TV network (such as CityTV, Space, CBC or CTV) and you'll see it <:)

It has to be one of the WORST commercials ever!

Same Here, Also I heard that if you have a DELL computer and you try to change the OS your warranty voids.

That's why DELL sucks the most ;)

Nope. That is incorrect. I got a Dell about 18 months ago with a 3-year warranty, and I upgraded it from Windows 98 to Windows XP without a hitch. One time I had a problem, so I called them up. They asked me what OS I'm using. I said Windows XP. They just transferred me to their Windows XP tech support, which fixed it in about 10 minutes. No problems about warranty. Also, I had to get it serviced not too long ago because my motherboard got messed up. I called Dell, they sent a technician over two days later, and he replaced my motherboard and upgraded my processor for free. The guy even checked it for me to make sure it is working properly.

Now I could've done most of this by myself, but since it is still under warranty, I could have this done for free. I called them up to get a technician over, and I just kicked back, opened a can of beer, and told him, "Get to it, buddy." :p

    • I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake

      By dorf · Posted

      I tried to get the latest secureboot certificate for my old Dell 7010 Optiplex machine.   I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake.  Now when secure boot is on. The machine doesn't boot and complains about no booting devises.  The computer's secure boot can't find where to boot and the information apparently has to be entered manually.  Secureboot's settings are now years old and it can't find a new configuration.  What could be done here? There are plenty of files to choose from in the secureboot menu, but I don't know what to put there for each of the four Windows 11 upgraded from 10..... originally who knows what (used machine) without secureboot it booting normally

      They need to follow the standard for AAA game but they will go at lowest level for triple a game because will sell more, earn kudos and the milk it for years anyway. look how much they milked gta 5 and how they milked the original 3 - San Andreas and vice city. it is probably going to be a fun game but then they allowed someone to remake classics that somehow were more broken and worse then original i hope they don’t ###### up this one!!!
