Hey @breezeline seems customer service has gone even more downhill. Replacing my modem, I called and got the most unintelligible agent broken English with a microphone cutting in and out LOUD static and call center chatter in the background. Really hard to do anything!

Then after giving them info for the new modem they didn't give warning resetting the old one making the call drop, and didn't call back leaving me to guess if it was ready to hook up the new modem (luckly it worked after some fiddling power cycling). Very unprofessional!

FUCK YOU NORTON... Turning on the VPN broke connectivity I was using to restore theu my local network. Even after I said it was a home network. Why is your software so damned horrible?!

Once again, Norton screwing up my parents computer...seems this time its decided to quarantine and remove lots of MS Office documents that were copied from our Mac to our PC and possibly some other files that have broken the ability to log into their accounts. UGH!

And seems they were convinced to upgrade Save&Restore2 to 360 which apparently does not provide proper system backups so I can't even restore Windows from a previous backup from a couple months ago when it worked...

This stupid thing is even fighting connecting to my NAS on my local network. If I ever get this stupid computer working again they're going to be getting rid of all the Norton malware on this machine and I'll be setting them up with Windows Defender and Acronis TrueImage.

Then just to add insult to injury, Norton 360 has no "restore to original location" in quarantine. You can only do Delete/Extract/Send for analysis.

So apparently @dominos now has a $20 minimum for delivery...guess they don't want our business now because we can't eat that much food before we'd have to throw it out getting dry and funky...

Ugh @amazon be like "sorry your order is going to be late it hasn't shipped" but also "nope can't cancel your order it's shipping soon"...so I guess they're gonna get to do a return then if it ends up ever arriving...

Yeah @PapaJohns I agree its a bit far away - maybe you could open a closer location? Maybe even one close enough to offer delivery?

Love the food, but even hitting order as I sit in the car in my driveway ready to zoom away can't actually be there when its ready (and gotta still bring it home).
Or maybe allow scheduled orders like 30 min out vs ASAP or hours ahead?

Oh hey, Twitter's AI image generator is now free for everyone! Since they pushed it in my feed, I felt obligated to try it...

I don't understand why @McDonalds order kiosk doesn't sort the sizes in any sensible way. Trying to get a large I expected it to be the first or last choice and accidentally got a medium and couldn't figure out why...then realized its random not sorted on the menu?!

.@dominos Your site seems broken and won't tell me why. Every time I try and order there "seems to be a technical problem" but it won't tell me what. Can't do pay-in-store because it says the store requires pay online.
