[…] Parcelforce texted the delivery slot. No delivery. Parcelforce and HP’s tracking systems then claimed I had refused the parcel. I scheduled a redelivery for the next day. Parcelforce then rang me and the agent acknowledged a delivery had not been attempted and that the tracking information was false. It claimed HP had requested that the parcel be returned to sender.
I’m one such sysadmin. I have to work with HP products and HP-by-another-name L3 switches. They are not exaggerating. We’ve had brand new server power supplies crap out on the first power-up. Intermittent outages are a weekly event. Sometimes HP devices refuse to talk to the network because we looked at them wrong. I’m hoping to finally move all of our services to a Dell server over the winter. Then the HPs will be sacrificed to the old gods.
