@Anne_Hedonia_ @RealPostFolder Nearest bestbuy to me:
15m

Nearest apple store to me:
1hr45m

That's why I bought mine at bestbuy. Apple won't replace the laptop itself but things like lightning cables they will.

Ok, here’s my corporate greed call-out of the day.

I was dispatched today for a no-cool call. The indoor unit was running, but the outdoor unit wasn’t.

The system was a 10-year-old Bryant Evolution high-end variable-capacity inverter system. After running the factory diagnostics, I found Code 77, indicating the inverter board was detecting excessive compressor startup current.

Following the manufacturer’s diagnostic procedure, I disconnected the compressor leads to determine whether the fault was in the compressor or the inverter board. The results confirmed the inverter board had failed. The system is only 8 months out of warranty.

At that point, I started preparing myself to tell the customer the repair would probably be around $1,500–$1,900. I figured the board would cost somewhere in the $800–$1,000 range. After all, it’s just a printed circuit board.

Before giving the estimate, I called Carrier Enterprise for pricing.

$8,900.

Not for the entire outdoor unit.

Not for a complete system.

Just the inverter board.

That’s not a typo. $8,900.

In my opinion, this is the definition of engineered obsolescence. There is no reasonable justification for a replacement circuit board on a 10-year-old residential HVAC system to cost nearly nine thousand dollars. At that price, you’re essentially forcing the homeowner to replace the entire system instead of repairing it.

This is exactly why I’ll never sell Carrier equipment. They make decent equipment, but pricing replacement parts like this turns a repairable system into a disposable one. Homeowners deserve better than that.

Carrier Carrier Enterprise or anyone that’s sells this shit, care to elaborate why this board is so expensive?

@BigDickBarclay We also didn't run any Cat6 or Coaxial cable anywhere in the house for the six DVR's we'll bitch about the price of but never use!

@JcTiberiou67714 @MorganHybrid1 Technically, gas engines of the time could suffer from Dieseling. But if the fuel pump's electric and off, and the sparks aren't firing, it'll run like ass for a bit before dying.

Certainly no rapid acceleration.

god dispatched a comically over-the-top embodiment of 2a activists' arguments to pink mist a redditor and you're black pilling?

@santinifem The cow is a more productive allocation of financial resources.

Although it isn't considering most folk aren't ranchers.

But the point remains 😂

@RealPostFolder Fuckin bastard AI only goes one order at a time. We can have 15 tickets for one dude, and we gotta prompt the ai one ticket at a time.

Multiply that across 30 dudes who who need their routes assigned.

Used to be we just sent them an email with the days work. 😤

[Paddlefoot @Paddlefootco]

@RealPostFolder I filled in for my supervisor, across that that time I thought the absurdly tedious route assignments could be automated.

A different department cooks what work order goes what guy, but to assign them is a morning task and ironically its the company's AI that makes it tedious.

@HumansNoContext I've had several offers over the years. Mainly in the form of tips for my troubles. Gave a dude a lift downtown once, he gave me an eighth.

I get offered bud at work on occasion too but unfortunately I can't smoke it. 😂😭

[Paddlefoot @Paddlefootco]

@Mileage_impo My company gave me one of these to run. First 20,000 miles the transmission is knocking. Zero storate space for what we do. They took it back and gave me my old Frontier again 😂

@novair99 @ereimul66 As an American I buy from bakery, generally look for quality sources. Most of us don't though, and the video is probably real.

My bakery bread molds in about a week. I found storebought from months ago in cabinet, still looked brand new.

Even I can't believe this shit 😭

@Nath_Rake I'm inclined to agree cus I can't fathom eating as much as fat ppl do in a day it'd make me sick.

In fact when I had a trainer and was trying to bulk, the amount I had to eat to achieve what I wanted is what made me focus elsewhere.

[Paddlefoot @Paddlefootco]

@advice_ir2 I have one, its a Russian nesting doll of electrical issues. 😂

@Haydukelives55 @TurnBucklBBQ No, you gotta let the wood marinate in oil overnight. I've found 10w30 from the lawnmower works best.
