Today we have a new job scam involving Health Gorilla making the rounds on Monster. Oh, I don t expect Monster will actually do anything about it. Most likely the scam company paid for access. Please note the URL used is healthgorillainc.com. Also note they want you to install Signal. No legitimate company will ever use Signal. Please note the actual URL for Health Gorilla. Long List of Scams Yes,…
Anyone who got scammed into attending DeVry, or worse, that shit Keller Graduate School of Management, you have my deepest sympathies. Most of you have learned that, not only are you in debt, but the only job you can get is the exact same job you had working your way through school. Yeah, I got scammed by DeVry in the mid-1980s. I had an associates from a real Junior College so I realized right…
This isn t a beware it s a warning about arc.dev and the sites like it. You ve seen sites like this popping up like explosive diarrhea. You need to know the background before you jump in with one. It isn t as bad as the 13 sites the FBI just shut down. It s also not as bad as 24-Mag or the hiring companies hosted on Go Daddy. I have often written about this topic. Chapter 15.8 Avoiding a Warning…
Beware Likewize and soft_9 found. I ran into them on Newegg. They are yet another pair of reasons to delete your Newegg account and make the painful commute to your nearest Microcenter. Take a good look at that. Refurbished. Likewize 1 Year protection plan. Here s the welcome email. Sure says it is covered in their system. Yes, this is part of the Newegg saga. Been a customer for over a decade but…
After quite a bit of thought, I ve placed the high quality audio version of John Smith Last Known Survivor of the Microsoft Wars up on Youtube. You can read the first few chapters here. The HQ version of the audio book is here. If you are unfortunate enough to have HughesNet, ViaSat, or any other data capped Internet service provider I suggest you listen to the Standard Quality audiobook version…
It s time to boycott BestBuy out of business. Really this is a follow on to my previous boycott post. Some little Keller MBA put together a spreadsheet for FedEx proving how much money they would save by eliminating all customer service and it s time for we the consumer to put every retail business using FedEx out of business. Honestly, it is time for all of us to be surfing over to Top Class…
I imagine most people are victimized by Abusix without even knowing it. Whoever you use for a hosting company makes the stupid decision to use Abusix instead of a good spam filter like SpamExperts and suddenly you can t communicate with people. Thankfully, my host, GeekStorage, uses SpamExperts. Yes, I ve written about hosting companies and GeekStorage in the past. It s a topic that keeps coming…
You just finished installing Debian 13 on your latest computer and at first boot the system tosses up an error message about No shim_lock. Yeah, it sucks. What sucks worse is all the advice you find online for work arounds. Other distros may have polished this particular turd. Secure boot is basically there to stop you from installing anything other than a Microsoft product. Despite all claims to…
Beware Newegg bundles! I ve been a Newegg customer for years, decades (plural) probably. Not anymore. Today they lost me for life. They deliberately bundle shit RAM with a clamshell you have to cut open so you won t have original packaging to return the product in. Then they deny a refund when it dies in just over 24-hours. This is not the first E-waste disposal bundle Newegg has shipped me over…
GAMA-1 Technologies is yet another company to blacklist. Even if you aren t a member of the Software Contractor s Guild, I m going to share this with you. What makes it worse is the fact these guys are government contractors and most gigs require clearance so they should be held to a higher standard than Indian firms. Obviously the GAO doesn t police contractors well. A casual reader who doesn t…
