I’ve been having trouble for weeks with a previously reliable VPN, SonicWall.
BSOD every time it ran for even a couple of minutes.
I tried every remedy I could find. One developer noted that it only BSOD’d when running over wifi.
So, yesterday, I bought a 50 foot cat5 cable online from Staples. Not the cheapest, but still pretty cheap, and I could pick it up at the store in Falmouth.
I’m not sure if the person who fulfilled my order was trying to be helpful, or if he was trying to upsell me, or just a self-important pain in the butt.
He started out by lecturing me about why I should be using wifi. He then lectured me about how the Comcast combination modem/router was probably at fault, that it was slow, etc.
Meanwhile, he was fumbling around trying to figure out how to fulfill a prepaid order.
I think some people should just mind their own business. Literally.
