Earlier quoted context omitted.

My personnal pet peeve is the one where every thread on Microsoft support forum gets answered by a long response telling the person to do a scandisk. > So much bullshit in one paragraph, why aren't they trained to type like human beings? I'm pretty sure this is because most of the message is copy pasted and they just have a line here and there where they need to reword the users' issue to pretend its personnal.

Hi, I'm Kudrapali, an Independent Advisor and Microsoft Expert with 999 years of experience and knowledge about 'your problem'. Have you tried the obvious solution, which you already mentioned didn't work? If you did, and it still doesn't work, have you tried reinstalling the system or buying a new computer? Do let me know if you require any further help on this. Will be glad to help you.

Thank you for your response. It seems like restarting your computer has not yet fixed your issue. I have escalated this to the correct department.

This seems to be just a support thread with two comments? Was kinda expecting a full bug explanation or something with a bit more substance as to why this is happening beyond 'it's just very odd'.

Same feeling.

Yet, it is on top of HN (: Humans are interesting!

When I was a teenager I wrote a simple visual basic app to globally detect the letter 'e' and immediately send a [backspace] to whatever application the user was working in. It was a background app and named something like system32.exe which I installed on my girlfriends computer. The frustration she endured while trying to write an essay for school was next level. I faked trying to help her :D She eventually resorte…

There was a funny MS-DOS virus called "Dot.Eater". Whenever you pressed dot key, an ascii face would come from the right side of the screen towards your dot, "eat it" (send backspace) and then run back and exit through the right side of the screen.

Agree, this isn't a story, issue, or interesting at all. Flagging.

I absolutely loathe those condescending corporate fluff responses "Welcome! I understand you're having issue with x, try doing y and z, all the best!" So much bullshit in one paragraph, why aren't they trained to type like human beings?

Especially at HP. In recent decades it's gone from one of the most respected companies on the planet to bottom of the dog pile. Never ever again would I buy HP equipment.

The HP brand should have stayed with their test and measurement division (now Keysight), rather than being diluted by slapping it on crappy printers and PCs.
