"I hope the scales of luck will thus tilt more in your favor for good fortune."

(from a private discord, user bout a Terramaster NAS that had issues, chinese tech support managed to completely wipe 36TB)
#techfail #funny

screenshot of the conversation:

oh i have to show you this
i bought a terramaster nas a few weeks ago put 2 × 18TB drives in it
was very happy with it until i tried to update the firmware and it totally went south couldnt access the nas at all
so there's me, 13 hours with chinese tech support they eventually dialled into my machine to try and fix it and somehow managed to completely wipe 36ТВ in the process this was their parting message to me
"I again express regret over your accidental data loss.
I hope the scales of luck will thus tilt more in your favor for good fortune."

Các công ty lớn đang thay nhân viên hỗ trợ bằng chatbot AI, nhưng chúng thường đưa ra phản hồi sai lệch nghiêm trọng. Ví dụ: eBay xác nhận giao dịch sai năm, Payoneer yêu cầu thông tin đã cung cấp. Đặc biệt, câu thần chú "chat with human" cũng không còn tác dụng. Bạn có gặp tình huống tương tự? #AI #Chatbot #CustomerService #TríTuệNhânTạo #HỗTrợKháchHàng #TechFail #CôngNghệ

Ah, yes, because when I think of groundbreaking marine biology, I naturally envision a webpage that screams "TOO MANY REQUESTS" with all the grace of a malfunctioning streetlight. 🙄💻 Meanwhile, Greenland sharks are out there winning the Olympics while our servers can't even handle a click. 🦈⏳

Me: Tries to access my personal stuff on the work machine (which is allowed!).

The laptop security: "I'm afraid I can't let you do that."

Looks like the SSL inspector is feeling a bit overprotective today.

Heel het land plat door een IT-storing! 🤯
Vandaag laat de grote NS-storing zien hoe kwetsbaar we zijn als de techniek hapert.

Mijn pro-tip: check altijd een alternatieve app zoals 9292 of Google Maps voor je vertrekt. Zo kom je niet voor verrassingen te staan! 🗺️📱

Finding out the Hard way that, although Fedistar lets you Bookmark stuff, it doesn't actually let you access your stack of Bookmarks 🤦 .

I've tried every menu, my avatar thumbnail both Left & Right clicks but nope, no Bookmarks.

No, they're not hiding in the well hidden Lists option.

Time to find a different PC app unless someone knows a way to get to the Bookmarks?
