I’ve been doing extra bug triage and social media monitoring since then to see if there were any major issues, and so far things look really good on the bug front too. I think our 3 months of QA paid off! So congratulations everyone for a jo | Mar 04 04:19 |

| DaemonFC | That Indian Battery Asshole at the Batteries Plus Bulbs manages to break something else on whatever you bring him to fix and then shouts "No refunds!" | Mar 04 21:51 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR: Here's the list for the Indian Battery Asshole Guy. | Mar 04 21:52 |
| DaemonFC | My Galaxy S8+: He replaced the battery, which worked, broke my fingerprint sensor. He tried to replace the sensor but it turns out he tripped Samsung Knox, so now Samsung Pay never worked again, or the sensor. | Mar 04 21:52 |
| DaemonFC | Mom's iPhone 7 Plus: He replaced the battery, and then it worked for a while then the battery swelled up and cracked the screen. | Mar 04 21:53 |
| MinceR | isn't it wonderful to have devices that were designed so they break if someone tries to fix them? | Mar 04 21:53 |
| DaemonFC | Mandy's first iPhone SE: Battery worked, but Apple put "Non-Genuine Battery" and refused to say what the battery health was. | Mar 04 21:53 |
| DaemonFC | I traded that in for a full credit to a T-Mobile iPhone SE of the next model. | Mar 04 21:54 |
| DaemonFC | My Buick: He managed to program a key that didn't work and deauthorize the remote control too. Had to take it to Buick and pay again and then contact my bank to take the money back from Battery Asshole when he said no refunds. | Mar 04 21:54 |
| DaemonFC | This caused a fight to break out where he told my bank I was a crook trying to cheat an honest businessman. | Mar 04 21:55 |
| DaemonFC | And then I told them he was an incompetent moron who should have just handed me a refund if he was honest, at all, and that here's a letter from Buick to that effect. | Mar 04 21:55 |
| DaemonFC | They gave me the money back. | Mar 04 21:55 |

| DaemonFC | I said "Yeah, buy a year's worth of insurance and only get 6 months. Pass." and hung up. | Mar 04 22:02 |
| DaemonFC | Every 6 months, I check all the other companies because checking is free, and when they do, they do an account review inquiry on your credit report, then your current company sees that when they go to check and realizes you're looking closely at everyone else's. | Mar 04 22:03 |
