Ok so i just ordered my gateway from gwsky3ds.com last saterday (1-10-15) and was wondering if this website is "good" as in will i actually get it? besides the ludicrous international fees, the price said 72$ and i ended up paying 80.21$ and counting! i had no choice seeing this is one of the few sites that take my stupid mastercard -__-

anyone ever buy from here and if so low long did it take?:unsure:

I think in ShopTemp it lists sellers that sell to the US, not necessarily ship from here. Since you mentioned international fees, and that name being what it is (lol), it's definitely shipping from China. Could be as fast as one week since it's no longer the busy season, but back when I bought my Gateway from a Chinese shipper it took a whole month.

Gambia, The
I'm just starting to get my money back, with a laywer.
I ordert a flashcard. There was a wrong adress, so the parcel gone back to gwsky3ds.com.
First they told me, that they will fix all, when the parcel is back.
Tracking says: The item was returned to sender on 19-Mar-2015
Now I'm writing, a mail ervery week to them, but they don't response.

I think they get rich, because nobody can catch them. But I will try it.

Be careful with this shop. !!! They are BAD !!

Can you not file a chargeback with your credit card company?

    I installed a Windows XP ISO onto a VM and used a fake product key, as does everybody else, so my best bet is that it's either a false positive or Windows XP having terrible security.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    The product key generator could be tied to mailware like mentioned in the links
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    No, just found product keys in a list on archive.org
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    whatevs, Security removed it from my device
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    There you go
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv3, Cloud scanners often interpret machine learning to understand the inner workings of a program and checks to see if functionality compares to how malware operates. Hence why it's not always accurate and you get false positives such as W32.Wacatac.

  • ZucchiniMaiden @ ZucchiniMaiden:
    It's interesting that the ISO came with the browser though, is it also pre-loaded with other stuff?
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    now, back to what I was doing last night: going insane because Firefox can't set the new tab page to your custom new tab page-- apparently as a security issue
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yes that was also mentioned in the links I posted
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    @ZucchiniMaiden No no, it was a blank install of XP, I installed the software afterwords lol
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I would not recommend using a product key generator to generate keys, you can find em on the internet relatively easy. And as for Windows XP keys, a certain GitHub page has them. :P

    Pirated copies of os can also be detected especially with torrent links

    @Kirbydogs That makes more sense. Lol.

  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    Now, hmm...
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    Is there a Firefox feature in like maybe about:config to change the new tab page to the home page?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Settings > Home > Change 'New Tabs' to anything.

    Milk from Aldi always tastes weird.

  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    "New Tabs" only has Firefox Home or Blank Page
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv3, There's the Windows Genuine Advantage that got implemented in SP3 if I remember which checked the license of your Windows installation to see if the key was either pirated or whether it's been activated.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Hav nt had an issue with their milk but bought creamer and it was like cottage cheese
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got a lot of controversy because it acted in a way like spyware, but really who cares, Microsoft likes to spy on you.

    If you can't download windows directly from Microsoft always expect risks never know what user could leave out during re-upload

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Unless you got a physical copy of a os which can be found at thrift shops
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Always expect risks on outdated versions of Windows, there's probably a dozen or more vulnerabilities for XP that haven't been patched after the EternalBlue exploit that got leaked from the NSA.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I get the retro vibe of it but he's using a vm worst case just right click delete kind of crazy not to be using up to date software if your system can handle it
