    I’ll stick to windows. I don’t want to deal with those people."

    That’s a strange conclusion to come to, installing an OS doesn’t come with the obligation to deal with anyone.

    I like to play games on Steam but that doesn’t mean I have to deal with the atrocity that is the Steam forums.





  • So what’s the big fuggin’ problem here? That Intel won’t use the term “recall”?

    Would you say the same thing about a car?

    “We know the door might fall off but it has not fallen off yet so we are good.”

    The chances of that door hurting someone are low and yet we still replace all of them because it’s the right thing to do.

    These processors might fail any minute and you have no way of knowing. There’s people who depend on these for work and systems that are running essential services. Even worse, they might fail silently and corrupt something in the process or cause unecessary debugging effort.

    If I were running those processors in a company I would expect Intel to replace every single one of them at their cost, before they fail or show signs of failing.

    Those things are supposed to be reliable, not a liability.








  • Yeah, I’m also on my third controller RMA. First the stick on the left controller started drifting, then the right controller’s plastic started peeling off and finally the right controller stopped working altogether.

    At least they did the third RMA for free way out of warranty.

    Had to buy a new headset cable on my own though when the display started flickering after 2 years. They also sent me a new plastic clip for the cable on the back when the old one broke and a new left speaker when it started crackling instead of requiring me to send in the full headset so that’s pretty cool.
