11;01AM Yesterday Fed EX delivered the new 8.1 Lap top that was to be a new 8.1 from Del plus a mouse had already arrived and a wireless printer came yesterday I signed for them and did not open the packages as we had to rearrange some furniture and I did not want to get into this yet.
We got the old XP dismantled with all the wires had bee moved Vonage box and Zyxel box access to the Internet to the living room and hooked them up to the Windows 7 Desktop which can also be DVD and CD player for the entire 'tribe' to view together is we choose to do so and the phones worked . Hours later, the truth comes out that Microsoft has pretty much control of 8.1, but that;
's more of the revelation later. One access ones new system with a Microsoft account and the temptation is to use ones e mail password which I never do to use it for anything but the company who provides the e mail address ( It took almost two hours with them too as the concept that Microsoft already had my e mail in their system for years seemed to elude some of tech persons and the concept of not using the same pass word when using the e mail address didn't seem to register and doesn't
't any one understand basic cyber security anymore?
NOT THAT THE TECH PEOPLE WERE NOT NICE AND COURTEOUS AND MOST WERE VERY MUCH SO, BUT THE GENERATION GAP IS OBVIOUS FOR US OLD TIMERS LIKE ME WHO FIRST GOT ON A COMPUTER IN 1967 AND WINDOWS IN 6/92 TO HEP TEST IT IN ONE OF THE 11 H=GOVT OFFICES WHO DID THAT FOR MICROSOFT FOR A REDUCED RATE FOR SOCIAL SECURITY TO CONTRACT WITH MICROSOFT FOR OUR NEW SYSTEMS WHICH ARE NOW ABLE TO BE HACKED INTO AND THE PROOF EXISTS ON Y OWN RECORDS MESSED WITH N ITS NOT TO HAVE HAPPENED AND DID. since there is no current service contract, etc. with them any more in that name, but did have Microsoft security essentials and the e jail form Microsoft is in my e mail address book and at times they have gotten this blog when those that get this by e mall and got a response that it is an unmonitored account receipt and to contact them another way. and had used years ago forgot what password was used to connect with them years ago and the one that is the real one has been changed many times over since then.. So don't any one try it , you were not given the tat PASSWORD AT ALL, BUT A NEW ONE CREATED TO GET YOUR INFO WHEN I HAD TO USE MY E MAIL ADDRESS TO RECEIVE A NEWS LETTER OR ETC TO MY E MAIL INBOX. Then at 6:30 pm We opened the package and nothing came on the screen to prompt one through the process as the older versions do and still on the phone with Dell at 1;30 AM trying to access what the sales person assured us we had purchased, I had to get some rest but first the mouse wouldn't stay on and was told on the invoice it was to have a 1 year battery, but its just a AA rechargeable battery so we will see if it lasts 1 year, others have not in the past and why we have rechargeable batteries and a battery charge we have invested in several years ago,
FED EX HACKED?
11;01AM I signed for the packages after having been called Sunday fro Fed Ex saying someone had to be home to sign for this or eave a noted on the door to say OK to drop it off. At 11:15 AM I got a call saying it was from Microsoft and wanted to confirm arrival of the packages and wanted to get into my stem and was not happy the packages had not been opened yet and wanted me to do so and then it got worse as they wanted my credit card and that got rather nasty, First of all there was no phone number on the called id except a +1 which meant it was a call directly form over seas or was it for near by, in this era w one didoes not know. Finally I said what is your phone number as I am not the purchaser as the name on the package is anther's in the household although I will be the one using this for a while until this complicated migration for the 'tribe' is completed over the next year or so as we all learn what we really want and need to use, etc and doing all this sharing the costs and helping each other through all this.using that old Windows 7 desktop for all of us to have as a back up if needed.
I was able to get a phone number form this man who gave me a very English name with a deep accent and he seemed very unhappy he had not got my card and I finally just told him as my suspicions grew that something was very awry and the packages came form dell n the first place so why would Microsoft be calling? and there is nothing to be paid to Microsoft in the first place and having purchased form Dell IN THE PAST, THEY DO NOT BILL THAT WAY AT ALL
I then went on line and Googled 1-855-556=9567 and up came
SCAM ALERT
How did scammers know to call me within 14 minutes of a computer being delivered that they should call me. I am aware that my phone number is out there on line, but it was not the land line Fed EX called me on as somehow DELL HAS BOTH, BUT GAVE Fed ex THE ONE WE NEVER ANSWER SO who knew?
I called Fed EX and got through to their security people and told the and they said Dell gets a confirmation, too at the same time, but they did take the report, These crooks exist to survive because BASIC INFO ON EACH CASE IS NEEDED AND NOT SOMETHING GENERAL,' A FACEBOOK COMMENT recap is there, but have not figured out to link it to this'
Then I contacted Dell and it was impossible to get through to any kind of fraud or security line at all But in a few hours A manager form Dell did call back and they said Fed EX is wrong, they do not get confirmation back from Fed Ex of delivery and its only if the customer complains do they then go in to the tracking number to verify, etc. I then returned a call to fed Ex to info that they it had to be them hacked, At this point, thieves got info very fast and they had the address and new enough to call,'
Now I wonder if this was to see if the computer was left outside to come and steal it But the comments on line seem to be a little different as did not see anyone called right after Fed Ex delivered a new system Is there an invisible ACS> drone in the sky over my house? Surely not that ?
WHERE IS INTERNET EXPLORER?
after finally getting onto the start screen which one does using the microsoft trademark flags on the key pad; first time the Microsoft icon on the keyboard has been used by me is how one gets it up and the IE icon was there and I clicked on it and got Bing Tech people finally said one can't get IE on 8.1, And I tried to download it into the system while on line with them and dii get hung up on a few ties yesterday evening, too before I was told that. I had specially asked the sales person could I get the main ones of Google and Internet exporter as the Jelly Bean tablets only use Google, but one can buy one of those for under s $100 and one gets what they pay for One can pay thousands of dollars forr8 and 8.1 system and then not to be able access one of the more basic?>
Then why is the Icon on the start screen, That tech hung up on me and I called back and this system is not in dell systems and kept getting sales person to purchase a new service plan and nothing known by of the new new purchases, etc , I had called the number on the box, etc. and to get way back to the Irving room with needing to set up longer canals on my oxygen is cumbersome and a loved one did help me out, when I had to do so to send time with Microsoft and the tech at Dell hung up and had to call back then,' A NEW FORMAT AND NO BASIC INSTRUCTION BOOKLET NOT INCUDED AT ALL WITH THE COMPUTER. I got more info as to how to use my new rug shampooer and it wasn't very complicated at all, Got one on a sale a so it was light enough for me to use for a few minutes at a time. and the other one we had is too heavy for me to handle anymore.
WINDOWS 8 FOR BIG BUSINESS?
its ALL ABOUT GETITNG INTO THE CLOUD AND MOST OF US BLOGGERS ARE WANTING TO COMMUNICATE WITH FRIENDS AND RELATIVES AND BE ABEL TO ACCESS GENERA INFORMATION AND MAYBE HAVE A BLOG WE DO NOT GET PAID FOR TO SHARE ORE INFO. info I CAN GO THROUGH GOOGLE OR IE TO GET PUBLIC INFORMATION,
So what s going to happen, Will the major search engines now going to censor what public info each of us might get> rather than any out there on the web?
So will close for now and see if the rest of the process can be completed, but if there is an icon for IE on this screen then where is it and this system is over priced if its not in there and how can an icon trademark be used if its not available in the system nor can be downloaded into it? do the tech people not understand t8 or 8.1 themselves? The search engine says it can be for this but I got an alert when trying to down lad it that this system will not take it..... Then this is an inflated price. It must be in there somewhere and maybe by today, dell can find it as it was what I purchased access to n getting this system.
Pray for all of us with sickness and loved ones who have ills. As the New world order sets in and its right in front of me on this screen is my opinion and so far not happy as the old VP systems were user friendly and much more logical and when one got an icon, one clicked on it and didn't get a different search engine then the trade mark said was the one.
The wireless printer, has a CD driver with it and I see no place on this lap top so far to insert such a piece but, then I could not t get it open in the first place until my son sowed me how to do so as have never used a lap top much except to borrow one for a brief time. Never owned a cell phone either so I expect to be able to access what even the scene on this promises....
Thanks to those who were pleasant in this birth pangs of the Cloud, but I approach this logically and sometimes for the younger generations, its not the way things get done these days?
Finally had Not give up getting a different brand of diabetic strips and called COMPANY BACK WHO HAD NEVER RETURNED THE CAL AND LED TO NO SUPPLIER VIA MAIL WANITNG TO HELP OUT ,for BRAND I had had and they are sending me a new battery for the monitor, but what if that doesn't work? Its like nothing works any more and one is expected to muddle through and keep on paying for what is not there and the medicare ombudsman that was to call me back has not done so for over a week and they promised to do so several years ago and still have not and no ne knows how to make any system mechanical or govt work anymore? we are in a real mess and its time for a new word order, but one very id different than the one emerging is my OPINION.TURN OFF YOUR XP DAY
