    2yr renewal + new phone then switch carrier with ETF refund.. worth it?

    @txsizzler, like Donald Trump said, "I am not cheating the system, I am simply taking advantage of deals, vague or available situations where my business can profit." But seriously, I needlessly 'gave' Verizon so much of my hard-earned money for really not much better service. @munkle, one...

    2yr renewal + new phone then switch carrier with ETF refund.. worth it?

    How do they know WHAT phone I have on my plan? What if I give them my 90% broken LG G2. Hardware works, display works but a vertical crack caused the touchscreen to stop working. I use the OTG cable with KB+Mouse. So I can get let's say a iPhone 6s, LG G4 or Moto X Pure or whatever that...

    2yr renewal + new phone then switch carrier with ETF refund.. worth it?

    RE4 "house brand" drives.. any good?

    I'm thinking "white label" means rebadged, de-branded or brown boxed--I guess NOT OEM'ed. Innards are for example Western Digital, but new label doesn't say that.

    Help me create a job title

    Hi Dogs, No, COE denotes where the main expertise is for a function or business practice. For example, at both my former employer (20 years @ another CPG) we had a similar concept. There was the SAP Center of Excellence, BI COE, etc. Whenever you had an issue, the folks there are the most...

    Help me create a job title

    Hi guys, Thanks for replying--and sorry for being vague. Our main business is as a CPG (Consumer Package Goods) company, we're not a software, hardware or ISP/hosting provider and we don't develop consumer-facing sites in-house. For that, each team in the respective geography has an agency...

    Filezilla

    If you make site changes, it is NOT DNS. Maybe there is a caching or CDN service somewhere. Things like ISA, CloudFlare or Akamai will do this. It might be transparent to you or you might not be aware that it's there. Again, not sure if you tested @ home thru a regular router or at work with...
