I know what you are thinking. Probably something along the lines of “Wow Kevin, you are writing another article for a site that gets zero visitors! Where you do find the time to crank out so much content?” Then again you might have just rolled in somehow and clicked on my Virtualizer article and was like wow, what else can this guy come up with?
Well, as of this writing I still haven’t gotten it but my TV started dying so there is that. There is a nice line right through the screen and apparently my warranty literally ran out a couple of days before the line showed up. Well, at TCR that’s what we specialize in… taking a look at shitty products and their shitty customer service and warranties. When I spoke to their customer service (the polite woman in India whose name coincidentally Kevin too and I introduced myself as Vikram) let me know that it’s normal wear and tear and that since I am out of my warranty, I could purchase a new TV that has this problem corrected. I was like of course it would be corrected, it’s a new TV but I would rather just repair this one. In what I could imagine happening, while Kevin was sipping on the blood of her vanquished enemies she politely reminded me in that sexy Indian accented voice that it was out of warranty and that it would likely be less expensive to purchase a new TV. It was at that point I asked to be transferred from the sales department to tech support. Kevin politely reminded me “OK, sir. This is the technical support department sir” I love it when they patronize me with a sir sandwich. Getting nowhere, I decided to go ahead and bid Kevin a good night (I think I might have heard “Friends” starting in the background and I would hate to interrupt her). So here I am stuck with a TV, made by a popular manufacturer, that has a nice line through it and no recourse except to buy a new one. You know what I have to say about that:
