It’s seems a bit odd to say, but it’s becoming more and more common as Linux distributions mature.
It’s true though, using bluetooth devices is just EASIER in Linux.
You plug in a dongle and it just works. You search for a device and it typically finds things right away. You select browse and it browses the files on your device.
I just struggled for half an hour with the same task on Windows 7.
Why must this be so difficult? It’s a standard damn chipset!
I can’t wait to try it out on my new laptop. After my bitter disappointment with Dell I picked up a Lenovo IdeaPad and have been very pleased with it. I’m just waiting for 9.10 to come out before trying it out on the new lappy.
So I finally received my refund from Dell.
Guess what? They only refunded the purchase price of the Dell, and not the interest, which at this point is a sizeable chunk of money from them dicking around for 5 months.
Best yet, when I called I was told that there was nothing more they could do. A complete refund had been issued and I should call Dell Financial, who do not seem to answer the phone.
You can be certain I’ll never buy a Dell and I’ll never let a friend buy a Dell ever again. The sting of a few hundred dollars of interest charges over several months will not go away. They will not win me back, ever.
Fuck you Dell; you suck. You had a chance to make this right and you completely failed.
