@TELUSsupport Why is it nearly impossible to speak to a customer service person in Canada?

[Craig Van Horne @VanHorneCVH]

@TELUSsupport With a few exceptions the service from support agents is absolutely horrendous. Getting an agent who can communicate clearly is a problem, it's not all of the agents you contract but the majority it seems.

@SkipCanada One of your drivers delivered an order to our house, it wasn't for us. There seems to be no way to contact you to inform of a mistake. The restaurant said it's Skip's problem. Seems to be a problem for the person who ordered almost $80 worth of food and didn't get it.

@AHS_media

Why is it that one is required to wait in a cue to access their health records? No one needs to wait in a digital line to access their bank account so what gives?

@PhilipBloom 1. Usability (operator experience, reliability etc. does the camera get in the way or does it allow you to focus on the creative, and adapt to changing conditions rapidly?) 2. Image 3. expected longevity of relevance (ROI)

@dharmapunk5 @sapinker Uh.. sorry. I didn't realize you were commenting on my post. I don't tweet much. It is indeed an excellent book, from what I can see in your posts I think you might find it interesting.

[Craig Van Horne @VanHorneCVH]

I'm just diving in. But I'm already convinced that, Enlightenment Now by Steven Pinker should be read by everyone! It's that important. @sapinker

[Craig Van Horne @VanHorneCVH]

@dharmapunk5 Thanks Todd!

@PrestonKanak @Apple I have a Dell XPS 13 and it's excellent. The 15 would serve you extremely well if you are going to essentially use it as a desktop replacement.

Is it possible to have a more Canadian misuse of emergency services than this?

@MicrosoftHelps I don't think Microsoft understands the situation. I reinstalled 1607 and disabled the required services from running and also ran the Hide Windows Updates or driver updates troubleshooter... forced and unwanted updates from MS were postponed less than 1 day

[Craig Van Horne @VanHorneCVH]

@MicrosoftHelps There should be an option to defer indefinitely. Once we get a stable OS and application build on a workstation we like to leave it like that until some required application update necessitates updating the OS.

[Craig Van Horne @VanHorneCVH]

@MicrosoftHelps Which would be nice if the Fall Creators update wasn't so buggy and the deferral of updates actually worked. Content creation apps from don't play nice with builds after 1607.

[Craig Van Horne @VanHorneCVH]

@MicrosoftHelps I installed the Anniversary update (1607) and deferred updates immediately. Not 3 hours later you forced the updates on my machine and it wasn't possible to stop. This is the kind of thing I'd expect from Apple. It must stop for advanced users

[Craig Van Horne @VanHorneCVH]

@MicrosoftHelps The creators updates are horribly unstable with creative content creation apps like @Adobe . Unless @microsoft wants to lose the creative community that has adopted it in recent years they need to start taking forced updates seriously.

[Craig Van Horne @VanHorneCVH]

@MicrosoftHelps @HammondKait I go around and around in circles with MS about the auto-forced-updates because they cause serious stability problems and they don't seem interested in actually fixing anything. They assume all users are idiots.

[Craig Van Horne @VanHorneCVH]

@MicrosoftHelps @HammondKait Microsoft doesn't have any way to turn off updates currently. You can disable the update services and make changes in the registry. But that won't stop updates from being forced on you either. I have the same problems.

[Craig Van Horne @VanHorneCVH]

@JWoolward @Microsoft No... I've been through all that many times and it keeps recurring for no discernible reason.
