Customer Service: “I apologize for the delay in entering your warranty info. My system is a bit slow.”

Me: “That’s ok.”

Also me: *What is this, 1986?! Upgrade from DOS already!!*

Home built 50 years ago, hot water element went just over a year ago, got another one, super expensive.. ( Non-standard, more efficient model.. )

Just over a year later, out of warranty, looks like its on its way out too !

They just don't make things like they used to..

Plus its a right pain to fit it !

Still, I've done two so far, so at least I know what to do now...

Thanks google for creating the illusion of an option to change the shipping address for a repair order. You even mention the new address in your notification email, but when I click on UPS tracking, I can see that you sent the shipment to the old address, which is in a different city where I can't quickly go to pick up my repaired phone. After charging an extra 95,- Euros for additional damage supposedly not covered by my warranty. Lucky you that my old phone had connection problems with the shitty Vodafone station wi-fi router, which is one of the few reasons that I still even want to use a google hardware product. Thanks google for just being slightly less wretched and mediocre than your competitors, that might grant you some more years before you will be buried in history forever. Pixel phones are just like Macbooks: high quality product and good marketing, good enough to make your customer accept everything else being bullshit. Google search is even worse, but based on the same concept: just suck a little less than your competitors but don't waste any effort trying to actually be really good at anything.

A bit of rant too..

But what are the cheapest heating systems to use in a home ?

I'm always being told that this new fancy system is better than what I'm using, but whenever I ask how much this new system costs, I either get no answer, or one that is more expensive than what I'm using !

So why should I replace my 50 year old heating system with something more modern that is more expensive, needs a nuclear expert to fix it when it goes wrong, and only comes with a 7 year warranty !

you know.
its not that I mind doing laptop bezel and cover replacement.
I'm just sick of having to do it to the exact same laptop I have to keep buying when I could have had a far newer and faster model by now with a 10 year warranty included !
