Theophany posted:In that situation, Linus didn't break a seat, need tyres or oil, he took the car apart and then did pikachu shocked face when broadcasting him voiding his warranty to his YouTube channel bit him in the rear end. Opening A Machine Cannot Void The Warranty. Apple was being a bunch of dicks about it.

GutBomb posted:It wasn't that it was opened, it was that it was abused, which it was. they destroyed the thing when they opened it. I'm not an Apple defender either, but there's no way the repair should have been covered by warranty. Yes. Linus basically said I BROKE IT, PLZ FIX, BILL ME WHATEVER IT COSTS. Apple denied it out of some kind of rear end in a top hat bullshit principle. LionArcher posted:Because he only took it apart to beef it up, something that does in fact void the warranty. Also untrue.

LionArcher posted:Also untrue that they denied it because of principle. Legal reasons are there. I scrolled back up in the thread and didn't see, what was the basis?

Rudager posted:I'm not rewatching that dumb video again, but from memory he just had a pile of retail keys no a shelf and went "see we got keys! We good!", ignoring the fact there's no way he's complying with MS's licensing terms, there's way better ways to license it as a business that would be 100 times easier to stay in compliance and actually activate them. Microsoft licensing also generally allows use of products in dev and test environments without paid licenses. At least if you have a corp SA agreement. The idea that you should activate a copy of Windows installed for 3 days on a test machine for a video or validation is insane.

Some Goon posted:Every time I use my iFixit screwdriver I unironically find myself thinking "what a quality product, I'm so glad I bought this". It's a solid metal handle, feels well constructed. The bits haven't shown any sign of damage. 100x this. It's at the perfect intersection of price and quality. You can absolutely buy better screwdriver kits, but you cannot get a better value.

cage-free egghead posted:I feel like propping up criticism onto his race's stereotype is a bad crutch when the dialogue isn't funny to begin with. Maybe there is some sort of joke I'm missing but it just seems like a thinly veiled way to talk poo poo about something without wanting to seem like the bad guy. This. Any stereotyping bullshit aside, the comedy is completely missing and uses the LOL FUNNY ACCENT as a crutch for extremely thin and easy jokes. It's worse than when a comedian brings a guitar or piano or guitar on stage to "sing" jokes that aren't funny and need life support. omg he buttons the top button! wacky!

So this random video popped up in my feed, and I do kinda get a bored kick out of watching home gamers build garbage benches and furniture. I am sitting there thinking wow, this dude sounds so much like 8-Bit Guy, it's scary. And then look who pops in at 8:30. The world is too small. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KfWMJV7fQ0

64bit_Dophins posted:Really? Is there some kind of 'me too' sort of stuff going on here? That’s some pretty aggressive extrapolation. You can just say he’s a nerd with questionable hardware restoration/analysis “practices” and some broader political opinions you don’t dig and a bizarre need to performatively get weird in Subways. I mean I find his taste in sandwiches at least as alarming as his need for a rifle in there.

Having worked for multiple retailers, the absolute shady weaseliness of tech customers cannot be overstated. Not excusing Newegg, but nerds will absolutely lie, cheat, steal and abuse the gently caress out of vendors.

People already brag about having UDM Pros serving a house that has DSL lol I want a UDM Pro for my house with 1GB, am I a bad person? Can’t push 1GB through the USG with packet inspection running.

buglord posted:I googled it because I don’t know who this guy is but I find the 3070 in a definitely-OEM computer case hilarious. But yeah it’s him, whoever he is. More power to him. Unless he sucks, then less power to him, but you can’t go lower than EVGA bronze. He sucks. Generally one of the driving philosophical voices behind US foreign policy posture for the last 40 years, namely meddling in everything everywhere at all times. He's softened up a bit but still sucks because he still advocates for the "end of history" and the creation of a monopolar world with the US as its center even as he's lost his taste for achieving that with military force. I am sure a goon will show up and tell me he's brilliant and I am dumb, but whatever. Super weird to see him posting pictures of his extremely pedestrian computer.

It almost makes more sense for video cards to have a separate power brick externally and a plug of their own at this point.
