After Cox randomly updating my modem that wiped out my Home net work and took away local IP addresses that I was actively using a couple years ago I called them to ask about it, and to be told that there was no way to re-open those ports which they had reserved for devices for services that I was not even using (which I had to subscribe to complete care to be told). I decided to build out a custom home net work, using a custom router, custom modem, nothing Cox related to avoid having to pay for complete care for any tech-support beyond let’s remotely restart it. Today I called to see why all outbound traffic on a port was blocked, and, despite me owning all of the hardware in my own home and a Cox agent telling me that the block was put in place to protect myself and not them, unfortunately, in order to even ask if it is possible to lift the block, I have to pay for complete care. I can’t with this company.

I removed my Masters degree and tailored my former Corporate resume to customer service. Should I also remove the B.S. degree?
I am looking for FT work, first choice, night auditor, second choice front desk. I applied on Indeed to various places, Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt and I am being turned down.
These hotels are franchised owned. Do the Corporations that allow these franchisees also have a say in hiring decisions or does it work like an independent State Farm agent that uses the brand name and buys the franchise rights?
I have no background issues. I worked in office jobs. And the hotels are turning me down. I am articulate, well spoken, approachable and have computer, cash handling, multitasking skills.
Is it my age? I'm over 50? I'm not getting called for interviews? Should I take off the B.S. degree? Is it due to having worked in prior higher income office jobs and the manager will think I will leave once a better opportunity comes along?
How can I make my resume match the hotel job and would a hotel franchise owner ever move me up to a manager role?
I am in Northern Virginia and can move anywhere along the East Coast (preferably up North, like Connecticut or Delaware or remain here in Fairfax, VA).
Does anyone have tips and feedback and places you know are hiring?
I have an HR background, finance and insurance.

I opened a southwest card in March specifically because they had a companion pass offer where if you spend enough you get a companion pass for the rest of the year. I quickly spent the requirement, paid it off, and didn’t see my companion pass come in.
When I called, both Southwest and Chase said that it takes 8 weeks before I get the reward, which is already bullshit since it’s a time sensitive reward.
8 weeks passed, I still don’t see it, I try calling again and they tell me that they just put it in the wrong account. Now it’s already June, and I still don’t have my pass that only lasts until the end of the year.
Every customer service person has been incredibly friendly but still tells me there’s nothing I can do. I will definitely not be using a Chase card or try to get any benefits from Southwest again, this is such a scam.
Just thought I’d warn anyone in case you see the offer in the future!

So today I tried to check out at the register at CVS. Store associate told me I had to use the self service checkout. I had cold medicine and various other items and this wanted two transactions (one for HSA debit and the other). So I left and went to a different CVS as it wasn’t really out of my way. At that store the guy checking me out told me it’s now corporate policy to steer customers to self service and he’s been written up for checking people out. So yeah, we’re at the point now that corporations are actively trying to fire people for doing their job because it’s cheaper to offset that cost to the customer. Fuck CVS.

I ordered rifle ammo from a reputable site however when I received the package it was only a few boxes of 9mm...I reached out to customer service just waiting for an answer back. Will I be able to keep the 9mm since you can't return ammo? Should I let them fix it? Contact my Credit Card?
Any experience with something like this will help

Following up from my last post here.

Overview

Imagine this scenario:
A man approaches you on the street and offers to sell you a watch. He shows you a picture of it, tells you the price and that’s it. You like the look of the watch so you ask him some questions.
“How long does the battery last?” You ask.
The man doesn’t reply.
“Can I see it on someone’s wrist to see how it fits?”
The man doesn’t reply.
“How long have you been selling watches for?”
The man doesn’t reply.
“What do other customers think of this watch?”
Again, the man doesn’t reply.
Would you trust this man?
No, you wouldn’t. Trust is gained by letting your potential customers get to know you, your business and your product. In my last post, I discussed how leveraging social proof and authority was key to making sales. Why? It builds trust.

How to Build Trust

It takes time to build trust between a brand and consumers. But it is crucial for long-term success and customer loyalty. Here are some tips:

• Consistent and Transparent Communication: Be open, honest, and consistent in your brand communication. Clearly convey your values, mission, and product information. Address customer concerns promptly and authentically. It’s easier to sell to someone the second time than it is the first. The ones that bought from you before, are more likely than anyone else, to buy from you again.
  
• Deliver on Promises: Ensure your products or services consistently meet or exceed customer expectations. Make sure you are promising quality, reliability and customer support, and delivering on it.
  
• Authenticity and Transparency: Show authenticity in your brand persona and actions. Be transparent about your business practices, such as sourcing, manufacturing, or pricing. Build credibility by providing accurate and reliable information.
  
• Customer-Centric Approach: Put the needs and preferences of your customers at the forefront. Personalize experiences, listen to feedback, and act upon it. Show empathy and build relationships based on understanding and respect.
  
• Social Proof: Leverage social proof through testimonials, reviews, case studies, and user-generated content. Positive experiences shared by others can greatly influence trust and credibility.
  
• Data Security and Privacy: Demonstrate a strong commitment to protecting customer data and privacy. Implement robust security measures, adhere to privacy regulations, and clearly communicate your data handling practices. This is more important than you think.
  
• Community Engagement: Foster a sense of community around your brand. Engage with your customers through social media, forums, or events. Encourage discussions, address concerns, and celebrate successes together.
  
• Corporate Social Responsibility: Showcase your commitment to social and environmental causes. Demonstrate ethical business practices, sustainability initiatives, and community involvement. Align your brand with causes that resonate with your target audience.
  

Hopefully you got some value from this post, in my next post I’ll discuss what makes consumers want to buy a product.

When I was young (and dumb) I mapped CTRL + X as a custom keyboard shortcut to activate a feature that turned off my computer monitor. Obviously this is a problem because every time I try to cut an item to the clipboard my screen goes black and the only way to fix this is to hard reset the computer.
I cant find the program on my computer to change the shortcut manually. This is a program that I made using the CMD line. Is there any way to just reset all shortcuts. I tried changing the computer's language but that didnt work. help!
​
EDIT: I just realized after some more searching around that this shortcut was something I made with the help of NIRCMD. Idk if that helps

Keystone Hardware Wallet might be what you're looking for in a new hardware wallet. I've always wanted to get my own and have been looking into ledger and getting their Stax model. Thankfully this fiasco occurred before I've made a decision but I had to go to the drawing. Everyone was promoting Trezor, but there's so much I didn't like about it in terms of security. I've never liked the idea of having anything connect to my wallet, or sending crypto in a small screen where I can't see any information (blind-signing).
Keystone was actually my first choice but I was hesitating to buy any hardware wallet for a few months. After the Ledger controversy, and reading posts about Trezor physical attacks, I was down between the Ellipal and Keystone. Easy enough, Ellipal is not open source. Decided to get their Essential model because their Pro model is on backorder because of new influx of sales. Essential has everything I need in a hardware wallet for significantly less.
The Essential and Pro models are on sale, on top of that use discount code COSMOSHOSS for an extra 25% off. I was able to get the Essential model for $89.25.
Keystone Main features (Pro & Essential models):
Air-gapped - Signing via QR codes only eliminates most attack vectors.
Eliminate blind signing - view the details of a smart contract with 70,000+ smart contract ABIs embedded. Multi-chain support for Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, Polka dot and more.
Multsig support - BIP-129 Bitcoin with various top Bitcoin only wallets. Safe (Gnosis) support for Ethereum and EVM chains (BSC, etc)
Open Source - all firmware and hardware are available on Github.
EAL 5+ Secure Element (open source) - generates random numbers with the Secure Element.
Dice Entropy - generate your recovery phrase manually by rolling dice, eliminating all trust dependencies with the Secure Element and PRNG.
Recovery phrase - supports 12/18/24-word recovery phrases generated by any BIP39 wallet
Camera - QR code transactions. No cables. No Wi-Fi. No NFC. No Bluetooth.
4-Inch Touch 480x800 LCD - Usability increases security.
MicroSD slot (up to 512GB) - offline firmware upgrades are done via a MicroSD card. Secure authentication support to verify if software downloaded is authentic before installing it on the wallet.
Detachable Magnetic Battery - 4 AAA batteries
Shamir backup - SatoshiLabs’ SLIP39 offline. 2-2 to 16-16. Choose how many shamir backup codes are required to restore your wallet. For example, if you have 11 shamir backup codes, you can choose whether only needing 7 shamirs to restore your wallet. You choose who to entrust each shamir backup code. Going with the current example, that means you'd have to choose 11 people or entities (family members, friends, a trust or a lawyer).
Software - Choose between Bitcoin-Only or Multi-Coin firmware. Bitcoin-Only firmware supports PSBT Multi-signature and Bitcoin TESTNET. 5500+ assets supported. 25+ software wallets integrated (supports Metamask mobile app and web extension).
ENS - supports Ethereum Name Service. Register a crypto domain for your Ethereum address.
NFTs - import your NFTs and show them off on the lock screen, supports EVM & Solana NFTs.
Support - amazing customer service with in-depth documented tutorials and troubleshooting on the official website.
Deleting shipping information options - answered in FAQ of the official website
Keystone Pro model only
Biometrics - unlock or approve transactions with fingerprint authentication without having to worry about anyone watching or cameras. Just be aware many governments like the US can lawfully force you to unlock devices with your biometrics. Also bad actors can reconstruct your fingerprints with anything you've touched (like your house door or car handle).
Detachable and Rechargeable Magnetic Battery - your battery will not charge if it's attached to the wallet to minimize attack surface.
Self-destruct Mechanism - protect yourself from supply chain attacks or bad actors with physical access to your wallet. The entire device is one single piece, requiring the device to be destroyed to be open. Not only that, the hardware will trip wiping the entkre device and rendering the wallet ultimately useless. The only reason I'd recommend the Pro for getting, otherwise the Essential is all you need.
Shipping Privacy - My method
Burner phone - purchase or use an old android phone. Factory reset and try to uninstall or turn off as many services as possible. For more tech savvy people, you can use ADB tools in Windows Powershell to force uninstall core apps through USB debugging. I used an old but still recent Samsung phone. You can download APKs online, there are reputable APK stores that support all applications and notify of any updates.
Burner Number - 2ndline, Google voice, or pre-paid number (Google-Fi, Verizon, Mint, etc). I used 2ndline.
Burner email - ProtonMail suggested
VPN - I used NordVPN with double-VPN on. I used public Wi-Fi for the internet connection.
Address - use a fake name. Try using the shipping address for a business or get a PO box then use the PO box street method to get it delivered (i.e. 123 Post Office St #[PO box number here], Mail City, STATE 12345). You can also buy virtual office services where you can receive mail. Ultimately, use a friend's or a family member's address who will never use crypto. The more people living at the house, the better.
Payment - Use coinbase commerce for privacy and to avoid paying sales tax. Send payments with either Litecoin(LTC) or Monero(XMR) for lower transaction fees and increased data privacy. There are apps on Google play and online APKs that allow you to buy Bitcoin and Monero privately with credit cards which are Monerujo, Local-Monero, and Agordesk. Supported by Monero community. Try using a gift card bought with cash. I used a virtual card with the option of inputting a burner name. I use Cred.ai and Revolut as they offer virtual cards, but only Cred.ai has the burner credit card name.
For convenience, you can also buy crypto on Robinhood or Coinbase, cashapp only offers BTC. Then, create an anonymous Kucoin account using a burner email or number on a burner phone. Kucoin offers phone call verification in case your number doesn't receive its texts. Send the crypto to the Kucoin exchange. For added anonymity, have a second anonymous Kucoin account (log off to switch inbetween accounts or install it a second time in samsung secure folder). Send your crypto to the second Kucoin account using its internal transfers so you don't pay network fees (I tested using regular blockchain transfers between Kucoin addresses and Kucoin automatically detects and uses internal transfer either way).
On checkout use the coinbase commerce option if you're sending any crypto that is not BTC. Copy the payment address and allocate the required amount + network fees on top. You got an hour to send it so make sure you send the payment immediately to give coinbase commerce enough time to detect the transaction on the blockchain.
My experience
So far so good. The software is very simplified, the on-screen keyboard looks and feels familiar to a legacy stock version of Android. I haven't gotten a deep dive into Github just yet so it might be based on Android.
The touchscreen is very responsive, no lag. Also vibrates on touch and when typing. The screen is aesthetically crisp and colorful. The device feels premium but also has the look and feel of simplicity. I can't really describe it but I just really like it.
The screen is glass and again feels very premium. There screen nor body bends at all. Very thick and firm body build made of fiberglass.
The camera is not shitty quality as I was expecting it to be. That gives me assurance that I won't be getting any errors.
It's blockchain support is a just little lacking. I wish it had Polygon side-chain support, I don't want to pay high gas fees sending Polygon to my wallet on Ethereum. I also wish it had Monero blockchain support but at least Keystone is currently in the works of providing more blockchain support, with Monero being a priority.
Keystone Companion App
The wallet connects to the Keystone app and syncs the wallet as watch-only. You can then see balances and use it to make new transactions, all without ever needing to connect the actual device.
I hope this has helped and provided you another wallet to research in depth.

Is there something in the air this week because omg I’ve never had a worse week working at dollar general. So here’s a story time!! Tell me why I had this customer tell me today that this isn’t the right job for me and that I should consider looking other places. Before this interaction I’m stocking in value valley and my cashier is up at the front. He goes to run to the bathroom real quick and there was like two people in our store and they had shopping carts so they were gonna be awhile so I’m thinking by the time he gets out of the bathroom it should be fine and we also have self checkout too so I continue going on about my stocking and all of a sudden I hear some lady scream hello is anybody here and as I’m speed walking up to the front aisle and by the time I get to the register she’s letting out another hello is anybody here five seconds after she said it the first time and I said I’m right here walking up to the register and she’s like why are you being so mean about it and you are so rude mind you I wasn’t being rude I was just annoyed and she was mad because I wasn’t smiling at her (mind you I never smile at work there is no reason to.) So I’m ringing her up I was taking care of her as you should take care of the customers as dollar general says and so she got really upset out of nowhere and just started saying there’s no reason to be mad at me. I didn’t do anything wrong. Mind you I haven’t said one word to this lady since I walked up to the register, she just kept talking at me and I was just looking at her not saying anything because I was just trying to get back to my work and I wasn’t trying to engage in this ignorant conversation with her. Also I don’t care if she thought she did anything wrong or not I have every reason to be annoyed because why are you yelling lady you were only up there for approximately five seconds and then this lady had the audacity to tell me that I just shouldn’t be working at a job like this if I’m not gonna be nice to people, and that I should just consider looking for another job like she was trying to threaten taking my job away or something. I looked at her and said thank you for your input I’ll take it into consideration. After that she got more upset and then proceeded to ask me for the number for corporate and I handed her the receipt and told her she can call the number on it which is our store phone number. And I told her to have a great day and I walked away. The nerve of some people. They just don’t understand that our jobs are wayyy more than customer service.

I started Huel a little over a month ago and had some stomach issues with the black. I was going to just toss it but someone suggested contacting customer support.
They were so helpful and suggested I use less powder and drink it slower, they gave me lots of tips to help. They also refunded one of my bags and sent me a new bag of the other formulations to try! I am so impressed by Huel’s customer service and will definitely continue on my Huel journey!
Their tips and the new formulation are working great! Love this company 💙
