Mbeat makes JUNK - Their 7 port hubs are crap and their service is bullshit.



Yes the Noble Little Acer Aspire One, with it's 3 little USB ports..

Mouse + Bigger Keyboard + Tethered Phone = Where do you plug in the camera / USB stick / etc?

Well I picked up one of these, and a spare, just in case the original died, and one for a friend.
And they have always proven to be totally unreliable..

Some days some ports work, other days, not, but for the most part, neither of them have consistently worked at all.

They have the quality and reliability that earns them embedding in the concrete wall - if it wasn't for the fact that they were not fit for anything and they also happened to cost a fair bit at the time....

Tried them on different computers, different hardware plugged in - the dodgy hubs were pretty hit and miss / unreliable across all systems.....

They are fucking shit.


So assuming that the later units may have had the bugs ironed out....

I contacted them to swap them over, via their website:

Something, like, "The hubs have always been unreliable and I'd like to swap them over."


The Reply:

How many hub  did you buy? Could you show me the receipt? Thank you.


Me:

I bought 3 of them, gave 1 to a friend, and kept 2 of them for myself. And no, I don't gave the receipt.

But they have always been unreliable. So I'd like to swap them, for units that have the bugs ironed out.


The Reply:

Where did you buy them? These three units are faulty?

Me:

I don't recall clearly which place I bought them from.

But they have always been dodgy.

Some ports are unreliable, or only work sometimes, others....

Basically when virtually new, I set them aside and never used them or only one of them if I had too - the least worst.

I be prepared to swap them over, IF you have the bugs ironed out of the newer models.


The Reply:

What is the model of the hub?


Me:

USB-M43HUB



And then NOTHING........


So thankyou Mbeat Support Agent 007.

Your lip service to back up your crapware products has been duly noted.

Obama - is TOTALLY full of shit.

https://www.rt.com/usa/328707-obama-state-union-address/ US is 'most durable economy in the world' Obama in his last State Of The Union address. Published time: 13 Jan, 2016 02:30 President Barack Obama said his State of the Union address on Tuesday that America has “the strongest, most durable economy in the world” and called statements of economic decline "fiction." President Barack Obama’s last State of the Union address on Capitol Hill focused on the economy, technology, keeping America safe “without becoming the world’s policeman,” and how to make the country’s politics “the best in us, and not what’s worst.” President Obama said he wanted to talk about the next five years, ten years and beyond, “I want to focus on our future.” The first part of Obama speech referenced his administration’s achievement, unemployment cut in half, nearly 900,000 new jobs in the past six years, a strong economy.  Obama said anyone claiming America’s economy is in decline “i

HSBC Bank Australia Limited - a bunch of fucking arseholes.

My Review of HSBC in Australia: Firstly - to make this whole article easier to digest... The first bit is me basically being insane - "This is a BAD place to be doing business with". The second bit is about the management of HSBC being an outright pack of cunts, involved in laundering squillions of cocaine $$$$$ from Mexico via Australia, and back to the USA.... If you find my being off my dial with insane frustration to be a bit hard to chew, just scroll down to the ~~~~~~~~~~ separator, to get to the NASTY Corporate Crap. OK now into my grizzle.... "HSBC - I want to find out why, payments into my account, as well as payements from my account take 2 days longer than other banks, and take 3 days to show up on my account - respectively. Call the head office, ask to be put through to some one in Australia, who was born here and speaks english, and they put me through to a foreign call centre, with some twat who wants to ask me all these questions, so that he can put it i

Lenovo and IBM - the Great Motherboard Replacement Scam

Image
I have one of the Lenovo G570 Laptops. And this is really BAD. The first one is that the management of Lenovo have done a deal with Microsoft to install an Operating System on the hard drive, and they claim that allocating a "special area" of the hard drive for recovery purposes, is a solution in case of "some kind of OS / Hard Drive problem - but they do not give you a copy of the OS on a DVD, to reinstall it, in case the OS crashed or a new HDD was needed etc.... This means that IF your operating system corrupts, your going to be facing a HUGE and BAD uphill battle to get a copy of YOUR operating system from Lenovo. No doing on the spot brain surgery on your own lap top by reinstalling the OS... No. This comes down to you not getting a 20c DVD with your operating system on it, Vs. hours fighting with idiots on the phone and days and or weeks waiting around for the DVD to arrive - if ever. With the amount of down time a non working laptop can cost you in losses, you may
