These days, seeing tech companies do good things for their customers makes a very pleasant change.
I'll buy from them again, that much is certain.

I did as much with an old desktop HP back in 2010 and I was very hapy - but I won't buy from them due to the absymal hardware quality.
ASUS also worked fine for me, without even needing the disks I had to create at the very beginning.

That's good, it sounds like they're trying to re-brand after Superfish[^].

Just a suggestion: Once you have a perfectly working system, take an image of the systems drive and make an emergency boot media that can re-image your drive. The process of re-imaging typically takes 10 to 15 minutes, compared to a complete rebuild that takes hours.

I don't normally keep computers long enough to make it worth the storage of shadow copies, etc.
This was a special case, where it was windows itself that killed the machine (error 00xc0000185; look it up. It kills a lot of machines*, and you don't get recovery discs with personal PCs, any more).
* The %$#*ing Operating System kills the machines! WTFingF are those cretins doing?!? The purpose of an OS is to make the hardware work, not to kill it!

I did search before posting, so apologies if it's an old trick and has been mentioned already.
Helping a friend over the weekend, we were rudely greeted by Chrome's message of no connectivity.
Immediately Daz perked up and started bashing away on the keyboard. Looking over with idle amusement, I realised that the offline dinosaur picture you're shown is actually the main character of an easter-egg game the developers left.
When you see the t-rex, either hit space or the arrow keys to start the game. Ha! Too funny.

Dunno, so far I haven't met a dinosaur I didn't like...

I LOL'd. This was posted accidentally and was to be my lead-in to the comment I posted above.
I suspect this one may actually create more amusement..

Very appropriate - the dinosaurs couldn't spell either!

But are dinosaurs affected by spells?
