Getting Answers to your Technology Questions

Getting Answers to your Technology Questions. This is a service we ofter which is similar to that offered by www.justanswer.com, only our aim is to make it better. If you Google JustAnswer, as we just did, you’ll get this:-

Rather off-putting to say the least!

JustAnswer asks you for a deposit up front, and the Internet is littered with claims that the details you provide in lodging this deposit are used to get money to which they’re not entitled – we don’t ask for any money up front or at all.

With JustAnswer, they choose the person they think it’s best for you to use. We do that too, it’s part of our service, but if you decide that person is not the person for you, you don’t have to use them once or ever again, and it won’t cost you a cent.

With JustAnswer, if you get an answer from one person, it’s quite difficult being able to contact that person again to ask them more questions. With us, once we’ve provided you with the email address of someone you’ve found helpful, you can deal with them for ever more, without any help from us.

With us, you don’t even have to pay for your first answer, if you don’t thinks it’s been helpful. You only have to pay for a first answer if you want a second question answered by the same person and found it helpful. You never have to actually pay us any money. and you’ll only ever have to pay anyone anything if you’re wanting them to provide you with a second answer after they’ve already provided you with an first answer which you found helpful at a price you thought was fair.

Admittedly, we don’t yet have the range of experts on our books that JustAnswer has, but we’re getting there. Just give us a try. Email us at info@questionsmisc.info with your questions.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Apple – dealing with

This is part of an article, dated 3 Mar. 2020, entitled “Australian iPhone users get no payment from US battery settlement,” – use this link to go to the article in full, (if you are a subscriber to The Australian.)

To us, this doesn’t seem to make the slightest sense – is it more of Apple being tricky and devious?

Undeniable claim: Apple intentionally slowed down older phones – but why?

It’s said that this was done to “preserve batteries.” But what would have been in it for Apple if batteries lasted longer, and why, as it would appear, weren’t informed of this.

It would seem infinitely more likely that it was so people would think, “Oops, my iPhone is getting slower! I’d better buy a new one.”

In relation to this, see the last paragraph of what’s shown above.

This, on top of the fact that Australian Apple users are not to be compensated in any way for ways in which they may have suffered from conduct deemed to be serious enough for Apple to have had a $US500m penalty on it.

People and organisations into ordinary emails

To us the best people and organisations to deal with have ordinary email addresses readily available and are into emails, and vice versa – those who have ordinary email addresses readily available  and are into emails are the best people and organisations to deal with.

To us, Wesfarmers is such an interesting example of this. According to the Wikipedia article on it, Wesfarmers has 223,000 employees, yet it has an ordinary email address readily available – info@wesfarmers.com.au – which can be located by clicking on “contact” on it’s website. And various of our readers have claimed that it has people standing by who are so helpful if this email address is used to send emails seeking assistance in dealing with it and/or any of it’s subsidiaries, of which there are about 40.

Telstra – dealing with

One of our readers claims he was dealing with Telstra in the 1960s, and that in those days the only way to get new phone lines connected was to bribe one of their employees!!!

If anyone is stupid enough to be using Telstra these days, they’re probably best off sending snail mails to PO Box 9901, Melbourne, Victoria, 3001! – nothing else seems to work!!!

To view Telstra on Twitter, use this link.

Telstra – dealing with

We’ve just come across this on the internet.

What a feeble excuse!!

We’ve been obsessed with finding the best people and organisations to deal with and avoiding those who may not be the best since 1976, since an incident with bricklayers.

Fortunately, the internet has since come along which makes things so much easier, in fact, made it simple.

Rule number 1. Other things being equal, only deal with people and organisations who have an ordinary email address readily available – in our experience, those who only have email forms and faxes are not worth bothering with.

(Occasionally it may be worthwhile to consider using those who only have an email form – but if you use their email form to send them send something and any responses don’t include an ordinary email address you can use in the future – which is often the case with government departments – they certainly won’t be worth bothering with. The problem with Government departments, of course, is that they’re often monopolies, so you don’t have a choice.)

Rule number 2. Deal with those who provide the best responses to emails you send them.

If anyone is stupid enough to be using Telstra, they’re probably best off sending snail mails to PO Box 9901, Melbourne, Victoria, 3001.

More later.

Getting help in making the transition from being an Apple person to becoming a Microsoft person

One of our readers says that in 1980, when one of his sons was 12, he bought him an Apple 2 computer, and that from the moment he got it he used to work on it until 1 and 2 in the morning, and 40 years later, (he’s obviously in his 50s now,) he’s had a great career in computers and computing, always as an Apple person, – up until about 12 months ago, when he decided to become a Microsoft person instead. And when he was asked recently if he’d had any regrets about making the change, his response was, “Not for a moment!”

Obviously, the fact that Apple support is so atrocious would have been a factor.

Obviously, if any of our readers are thinking of making the same transition, he could probably help them a great deal.

If you are one of them, email us at info@questionsmisc.info, and we’ll let you have his contact details.
