Yo I have a story for you.

I have a damn Thinkpad T495, so not thaat old, but "oUT oF WaRrAnTy".

I need Windows for work stuff, so I tried installing it and that shit misses drivers. Downloaded .exe drivers and put them to a seperate USB stick (after giving up the wish to include them in the ISO).

But supposedly these drivers are installers and not direct executables, and I have no idea of Windows. So well... contacted their support.

First, if its not a hardware problem it doesnt exist. Did the typical thing, click through the "Oh maybe its a problem with X?" "No, I know your stupid FAQs wont help me, other problem"

Support mail? No way.

So I get to a very friendly bot, giving me stupid solutions

Hey have you tried X?

Not helping, I want to get a mail contact

So would this help?

It does not help me, I need to speak to a human.

maybe this?

fuck you

Oh, I am sorry not being able to help, here is a list of options.

That damn list suddenly had a support mail? Lol? These bots really react best if you plain up harass them. I reproduced this exact scenario twice.

I just say "agent" until it gives me one, works like a charm!

This. Must voice systems use the word "agent" as a shortcut.
