Dell has multiple warranty levels, and some of them are prohibitively expensive, i.e. average more expensive than replacing the item after 2 yrs.

Yeah I know about their extended warranty; then their responsiveness is obviously due to the extended warranty, not any comparative admission of liability. As to "Dell support has flown a repair guy to my place with spare hardware pie

Every time you post it gets instantly killed. I keep having to vouch every comment of yours to restore them. Can you contact the moderators to get this fixed?

zywoo, you're getting shadowbanned or stalked or something, every time you post it gets killed instantly. You should contact the mods to have that removed.

Why doesn't your company get the use case for Elasticsearch? Is it because you're trying to pitch it with CTO arguments on capabilities, not COO/CFO arguments like "will permanently replace N humans"?
