Have you bought a TV in the last 5 years?

Long gone are the days when I used be excited to read update notes for new features... Now I just hope they don't god damn force an update on me.

~~What?~~

I looked it up but don't understand it.

Actually, I think it's not about defect numbers. This is about delaying until Intel releases the microcode update. They want to be compared after the (potentially) performance tanking update from Intel. Which is hilarious because Intel gave a date after AMD's initial launch date.

I think it's also fair as a lot of reviewers aren't going to bother retesting after Intel releases updates and comparing with AMD after the 9000 series hype has died down, if they had just recently did so for the AMD launch.

You can't explain it!

I understand the cynicism. But if you've been following this topic, Intel really fucked with some huge customers (businesses) here. And AMD was already stealing their lunch with their previous gen processors.

Did you just put "repairable" and "Apple" in the same sentence?

[–] lemmeout@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago (4 children)

Obviously a stunt.

Please watch the video, it's worth it over all the dumb shit we spend time on online. Tech Jesus was able to get the attention of the highest level of management responsible for customer service and got them to make (12) tangible commitments to their customers who were screwed by ASUS.

He did it very professionally and in an effective way, and constantly maintained the goal of the discussion (which you can tell is not to make inflammatory and accusatory content that will get clicks, but to get his viewers proper support and refunds from ASUS).

I've never seen a YouTube channel go to this length to actually take an action against a company for a specific issue in the interest of the consumers and get results (as opposed to just making videos to bring awareness).
