У человека люто безобразничащий ISP, где дошла настройка до следующего:
The [2]“wireless service unit” finally showed up at Chez Boca
yesterday. I had the “phone app” to configure the device installed on
Bunny's phone and I think that was my first major mistake. I should
have ignored the marketing crap about the “easy to use phone app” and
configured it manually via the web interface that most home routers
come with these days.
But alas, I did not do that. I opened the box, took the unit out, and
started following the steps on the “phone app.” I got as far as the
sign in page.
Sign in?
The “wireless service unit” is right next to me. Why do I need to “sign
in” to The Monopolistic Phone Company to configure a unit right next to
me? I tried creating a sign in account, but didn't get very far. Since
the service is in Bunny's name, I tried using her email address
XXXXX@XXXXXXXX.conman.org but the Monopolistic Phone Company apparently
doesn't like a third level .org domain. It accepted sean@conman.org
though.
But even that wasn't enough to get signed in.
So I did the second worse mistake of the day—I called tech support. I
spent the first half hour getting to the right technician only to have
the phone call dropped. The second call was an hour and a half and
consisted of me repeating the following over and over again:
“No, I do not read email on my phone.”
“I can't check email on my phone since I never set it up.”
“No, as I have stated, I cannot check my email on my phone.”
“No, I cannot check my email since I don't have Internet access! That's
what I'm trying to set up!”
“What do you mean I have to use my email password to sign in? That's
for email, not this site!”
“Yes, I know my email address is my ID, but that doesn't mean your
system will accept my email password.”
“What do you mean check my email on the web? I don't use the web to
check my email.”
“Okay, I've got my laptop hooked up to the ‘wireless service unit” and
I still haven't received your email yet.”
“Yes, I can receive email. I've received several pieces of emails in
the time you've tried sending me email.”
“No, I cannot check my email on my phone.”
“No, I don't read my email on the web.”
“Gmail? You want me to log into Gmail? Look, I know that 95% of people
use Gmail, but I'm in that 5% that don't use Gmail.”
“Okay, I'll click on the link you sent to my phone for a video call.
Okay, see? There's my email client—no email from you.”
“You want me to log into Gmail on the web? Did you not hear me? I do
not have a Gmail account.”
“Okay, see where it says ‘Sign up for Gmail”? Oh, now you believe me?”
“Okay, can you give me the number for Comcast?”
А недавно знакомый рассказывал, что для установки современной Windows,
нужен доступ в Интернет. А сама Windows нужна чтобы запустить
перепрошивку UEFI. Мир не перестаёт поражать безумностью.
