My favourites are when this thread hasn't had any new posts for a day or so, and you bump it with some grump about scams ;)

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

Not since using a 3B2. Never really got on with either vi or emacs though to be fair I was working for a company writing their own developer tools including an editor so we dog fooded all the time.

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

I think the scam phase is pretty much Done by jolla. Jolla took the money and fled the scene.They Are now movining in to stalling...

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

"movining"?

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

Mooning...

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

...and refunded! within the timeframe specified! I'm out of pocket AUD$30 thanks to the exchange rate tanking over the last few months, but nevermind.

Now, what to do with it, get a sony tab and port or play taobao roulette, decisions decisions

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

Why not wait until after MWC next week and then make up your mind

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

I think it was decided that beer is the best option

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

A refund directly from Jolla? That's great news. The mechanism must be in place. so those emails must be imminent.

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

Good news. But it was handle manually. Process is not in place yet.

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

Btw my order for a Jolla tablet from last September (I mean when I paid tax after indigogo first payment) has changed status: it has been 'on hold' for months but is now "in picking" ;)
Let's see what's next. I hope it is not a machine error or any sort of false alarm :p especially after the hope from last September... but it seems something (or someone) inside Jolla is moving :o :D

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

... just checked my account - In Picking :)

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

What does the phrase "In Picking" mean?

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

My tablet is "In Picking" since October 2015 :D
So, hopefully the wait will end in a short time (aka soon :D) for me :)

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

One wonders. If they're using it in the usual sense, it's the step in between converting the order into a list of stuff to get out of the warehouse and putting that stuff in a box for shipping. But if that step lasts for months . . . well . . . Jolla either has a different definition, or they've got a warehouse worthy of Citizen Kane (or the one where they stored the Ark of the Covenent).

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

In picking - that seems to be some real progress.

Hope it means what it use to mean and not another stalling move.

If it's still in picking for more than three days it could indeed be seen as a fake play.

Please report back here ASAP i the state change it's state.

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

While I do not expect the news to be good, would someone please remind me how to check my Jolla account. Thanks!

Hmmm. Maybe you're right! It's not working for me. I'm trying to reset password but it's been about 20 minutes and I haven't received an email to reset it yet...

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

Spam folder?

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

Perhaps it should been in Peking (Beijing)? :confused:

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

Nope. But was wondering. Will the My Orders cart include information about the indegogo campaign purchases?

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

By the way, as I was checking my old emails from Jolla (about a year a go after MWC), I took this screen shot. Sadly, times have changed...

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

No, not unless you were invited before to pay tax...

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

Scam folder :D

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

Ha Ha! Looking more like it. Excellent comment Mr Bill Rant On! lol

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

He honestly missed that opportunity. I am somewhat shocked.

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

Too many scams out there. Yesterday I got a call from someone trying to pull the CLSID scam on me.

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

i actually got skimmed two years ago...
Money stuck in the in the slot, called the cops.
But those f*****s "convinced" me about it surely beeing a mechanical fault and the bank will remove the money next morning.
When i tried to pick up the trap with my knife they held me away and thought i'm nuts...
Next day bank called me and couldn't believe the cops where that stupid...
But imho i am the stupid, shouldn't have called the cops.
lesson learned.
got my money back 3 month later.

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

Did you record the phone?

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

Hmmm. Did you know that recording phone calls is against the law in the state of Maryland (where I live) unless you alert the person you are recording ahead of time. Wonder if that applies to recording scam artists?

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

I know that these rules don't apply to all countries in the world. I couldn't find a good voicemail server for the N900 to fix that legal aspect. Voice calls recording is a much better option then using a pencil on a piece of paper sometimes.

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

Pretty nice.... I had to google up CLSID scam and spent about half an hour laughing at how people have scammed the scammers :D

I wonder if they would notice if I actually let them "take over" a virtual instance of windoze. I actually have an old WINXP virtual machine as I needed to do some porting-to-linux stuff 2 years back.
(had not even booted that since, but now I checked that it indeed has CLSID{88DCA60-FC0A-11CF-8F0F-00C04FD7D062} present...)

How long would it take them to realize that they were operating inside a VM? (I gather the technical ability of said scammers is probably pretty thin...)

Another thought occured; As I am not really that knowledgeable in all matters windoze, is it possible to reach back through the same remote channel they coaxe unsuspecting victims to open to their computer?
It would be a fun trick to get at their system and install a nice fat back door there when the stooges are busy "cleaning" your honeytrap computer :p

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

As far as I know in Finland the same thing applies to phone calls as to any private communication; you are allowed to record it or do whatever you please if you are participant in the said call (meaning; not eavesdropping on call between some other parties)

There are however rules concerning the publishing of your call logs, so it is fine as long as you keep it to yourself.

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

lol... no E-Mail from Jolla, next week is mwc16, jolla have no time...
the week after mwc16 begin the month marz. jolla scam again.

Jolla aka Soon aka scam

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

Indeed, I met Dillon, Carol and other Jolla guys at last year's MWC and played tablet and ordered mine. Until now it's almost a year I never heard again from any of them (not even for refund - I have ordered one via online store, which should receive refund notification "soon")

Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
 

That is indeed a scam. Contact the scamers immediately!

But hey, new stalling/MWC blog post coming soon.
