I think coming out and pointing out what honey did would probably be the least damaging thing they’ve done in the past few years.

because holy fuck have they had some whoppers.

Yep. and he decided to let the scam keep happening to everyone else by being absolutely silencio on the subject.

Why am I entirely not surprised that LMG knew what the fuck was going on, and didnt say a fuckin thing about it.

Made more public comments over legitimate criticism about his “just trust me, bro” warranty, than about honey being a out and out scam.

Still as relevant as ever https://www.avsforum.com/threads/audiophiles-cant-tell-the-difference-between-monster-cable-and-coat-hangers.1003197/

never said it didnt, but the narrative/oyt loud focus does shift with time towards new boogiemen

Google literally only pays firefox so it can point at firefox and go “Look, see, not anti-competitive/monopoly!”

Because hateful people always need an other. an outsider. Someone be fearful of, yet feel smugly superior too

It used to be black people.

then it was the irish and the itallians.

then it was hispanics.

then it was gays

and now its trans people.

if I ever start a multibillion dollar company, I am totally going to name the road [Company] St, with the address being 123.

Just so everyone thinks the HQ address is fake.

Hes a dancing monkey that brings in tons of ratings, viewership, and revenue.

So media has a vested financial interest in giving him tons of coverage, especially soft coverage, to get eyes on products. Its also why they have a vested interest in his winning, and are doing everything they can (including a mass hysterical hallucination that Biden was somehow old and incompetent due to having jet lag after a whirlwind 3 day international political trip) to ensure trump remains favorable in the eyes of people who wouldnt vote for him if they got the 100% unfiltered coverage about him.

Thats the biggest issue.

There are other issues, of course, helping this along (and benefiting from the above mentioned media bias) are things like the fact that he is a foreign puppet being manipulated by Putin mostly, and by others less so. Which is why they, especially russia, has invested so much money into the NRA, Republican Packs, and most recently, internet jackwads that balding beanie wearing fuckstick and his ilk. To have a chorus of mouth pieces pushing false news and pro-russian narratives, to undermine our democracy and reduce to outright eliminate our presence on the global stage as a bulwark against countries like Russia.

You also have petty powermongers at home that are sounding his call for dictatorial power so they can get their own petty feifdoms.

And the billionaire conservatives who want the world to be a festering cesspit of poverty so they can sleep on their mountains of gold… and are using the media they control to further their goals, by lifting trump up and knocking everyone else down.

and finally, you have the lowest strata, his voters, Most of which vote for him because they want their women to be property, and their non-white neighbors to be property too. and they don’t care how deep into hell everything goes as long as they can be racist twats who don’t have to self censor and are free of repercussions for their twattery.

Theres more minutae to it, and several other layers and strata, but this is kinda the general broad strokes.

Don’t underestimate how much resentment and anger a privileged people can develop when they don’t get every. single. thing. they think they are entitled to.

I dont know.

If I had my choice between a CPU that has a vulnerability that can only be exploited if the system is already compromised

or a CPU that are full of oxidation cancer, or frying themselves and doing irreparable damage… Which the company is being excessively shady about concretely admitting to any RMA promises and wwill all eventually die in short order…

I think I’m gonna go with the Ryzen and not leave leave my computer outside at defcon.

Thats only reserved for the TF2 elite Pyros.

wait until you see him use a keyboard. he pushes W and everything!

For example, one time he performed a “magic trick” by unplugging his modem and then plugging it back in, using the time in between when the stream was frozen to run out of the room, making it look like he “disappeared”. He would do insane, hilarious stuff like that regularly, Unplugging your modem is insane and hilarious?

Unplugging your modem is insane and hilarious?

Man the youth today are easily amused.

Hes half right.

Its not about paying for someone elses cause as you said the alternatives are free for the most part, its about not learning someone elses ecosystem so they stay in the windows ecosystem. Its why they have never come down on people using illegal copies.

Thats the propaganda.

In reality its about control and power. Thats why they want to breed an army and take over all elected positions. Thats what they talk about behind closed doors and when cameras are away.

Not really.

You just smash’m up to get the PCBs out of them, ship’m across the world to a 3rd world country, where you pay children to douse them in chemicals and light them on fire, then dig through the toxic much to fish out the metal nuggets to send out for processing.

E-Z-P-Z.

barring that, unplug the ethernet.

and it takes a lot more effort than most people expect to seat the ram and get it to snap into place.

I spent half an hour arguing on the phone with someone telling them their ram wasnt installed all the way to push it down further/firmer and they kept screaming it wouldnt go any further and that i was gonna break their PC. I could tell cause they sent me pics. It was almost all the way, but not quite there.

I gave up and made them to bring it over, and I pushed the ram down with an audible click while staring at him. He had the good graces to say nothing but a sheepish thankyou.

WTF case is that?

I dont think I’ve seen a case in 20 years that even had removable/installable risers.
