Still relevant after my initial post at FW, great to use during holiday orders…

Came across this when one of my deliveries was late, can be used up to 12 times in a one year period. Contact customer support, let them know that the delivery is late, and asked for a free month. Thanks to Dealnews.com for the wording to use in the request. I have used this several times for free months, works best during long weekends, weekends in general with Sunday delivery guarantee, and holiday peek shipping times.

“Hello! My order, #XXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX, was scheduled for delivery on the 18th, however, it has not arrived. I saw that Amazon will extend a Prime membership by a month if a package misses its delivery date. Am I eligible for that extension for this order not arriving on time?”

Help & Contact Us - Amazon Customer Service

After logging in, go to the link above, then select the item that was late. At the bottom of the page is a drop down menu, select where’s my stuff, then follow the prompts from there. There will be a place for you to type your message. Heard back from all of my requests by next day, with 100% approval.

@dangeruss thanks, getting used to the new format. Great job, btw, glad we have a new home when FW closes. Appreciate the huge amount of work accomplished in such a short time…

That’s my shovel; give it back!

Can’t we just be kind to each other and take turns?

@marcopolomle said in Windows 10 - free?:

Doesn’t Windows 10 store the key in ROM?

ROM stands for read-only memory. It’s used to store the start-up instructions for a computer, also known as the firmware. Most modern computers use flash-based ROM. It is part of the BIOS chip, which is located on the motherboard.

New computers use UEFI firmware instead of the traditional BIOS. Both are low-level software that starts when you boot your PC before booting your operating system, but UEFI is a more modern solution, supporting larger hard drives, faster boot times, more security features, and—conveniently—graphics and mouse cursors.

Newer PCs that ship with UEFI still refer to it as the “BIOS” to avoid confusing people who are used to a traditional PC BIOS. Even if your PC uses the term “BIOS”, modern PCs you buy today almost certainly ship with UEFI firmware instead of a BIOS.

The BIOS (or UEFI) firmware looks for valid boot information from the OS, so that malicious software that doesn’t meet the handshake requirements doesn’t boot (protection from viruses and other malware). This check does not store your windows key, just checks that the OS being loaded passes all of the checks (handshakes) to verify it is safe to load and not altered.

@am0s said in Permission to delete own posts?:

Can we mere mortals get sufficient authority to delete/purge our own posts?

That is a good suggestion, you should be able to delete your own post. Most forums I have been on, though, you just edit the post to ask moderators delete, the original post is edited by you so no one reads it, and a moderator deletes it.

Exclusive for your company, get the complete Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016 suite for your home. Or if you use a Mac, get Office Home and Business 2016 for Mac for the same low price.
To support work from home, many companies offer Microsoft Office at a discounted rate of $9.95 via the Microsoft Home Use Program (HUP). Check to see if your company participates. All DoD employees qualify for this, you just have to have a valid company (DoD) email address. Enter your work email address to see if you qualify. link

Looking forward to the new site, willing to help with things if I can, just let me know. (ubermoonknight)

@fivetalents I agree. Hijacking another site, might as well just go to that other site. What I think we are trying to do here is migrate the FW forums to a viable alternative site, with room to improve…

Link seems to be broken, or taken down…

good point @moonknight - I’m going to guess that is wise from a content preservation standpoint. If we had been able to delete our own posts easily at FW, I’ll bet a lot of the ticked off folks would have just wiped the slate clean. That’s a lot harder to do en masse if you have to edit them one by one.

Very good distinction, @mikk1 @fasttimes and @Ma-Barker - would not like a person to purposely delete a thread that had useful content. Best to edit post and ask for delete so it can be moderated.

Did get the extra $5 here for in store pick up (thanks @rasheed), so with tax $64.25.
Minus $20 rebate = $44.25, plus get $10 KC and 60 something rewards points…

Thanks, @MISTERCHEAP

Arm & Hammer 2- IN- 1 Power Paks (32 count) and Clean Scentsations (makes your washing machine smell nice, 24 oz) $.95 each at Family Dollar with Family Dollar Smart Coupon phone app. Normally $5 each, on sale for $3.95, minus $3 coupon each. Use app (available at Google play store) to clip coupon, then just enter phone number on credit card terminal at check out, and price goes to $.95 each. Many more coupons available, and they update, so don’t know how much longer these will last.

95 cents not too bad for 32 loads of laundry…

Excellent. Maybe we should have roster numbers, so we can brag about how ‘old’ we are. And badges, we need stinkin badges.

I second the badges request.

I am sure badges are on the horizon, just have to make sure the foundation is firm before building the rest of the house. I think thread ranking/score is coming up in the future, too…
