| Titre | Reverse Turing testing tech support |
| Texte | So I have to get a new Windows license for a new PC. Should I get Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Professional? What's the difference?So I google the question, which gives me this website: Ooh, a button that says "Download Table". That's exactly what I want -- a technical list without all the fluff. I scroll down to the parts that concern me, like encryption. Wait, what? What's the difference between "Device Encryption" and "BitLocker"? I though BitLocker was Device Encryption?? Well, the purchase screen for Windows 10 has this friendly little pop out offering to help. Of course, as a techy, I know that such things are worse than useless, but I haven't tried one in a while, so I thought if I'd see if anything changed.So up pops a chat window and we start chatting: So at first he says they are the same. When I press him on the difference, he then admits they are different. He can't read the document I'm reading, because it's on a non-Microsoft "third party" site. While it's true it's on "windows.net", that's still a Microsoft site, but apparently he's not allowed to access it. I appears Microsoft firewalls their access to the Internet so jerks like me can't social engineer them.So he goes on to find other differences: At this point, he's acting as a Markov bot, searching Microsoft's internal site with the terms I give him, then selecting random phrases to spew back at me, with no understanding. Support for TPM has nothing to do with the difference.Finally, he admits he can't answer the question, and offers to send me to more technical people: |
