It’s easier in Linux!

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!

Ubuntu 9.10 Coming Soon

Filed under: Daily Musings — Ean @ 9:30 pm

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.

Dell has Awful Customer Support Practices

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.
