  • Not hidden the fact that they knew about the issues years ahead of when they actually did anything?

    Intel was denying RMAs up until a few months ago, when by all accounts they had been aware of an issue at some point early 2023 or late 2022. And then for months they let game developers and GPU manufacturers take blame for something they had nothing to do with. If Nvidia hadn’t pointed at Intel, and level1tech and gamersnexus didn’t make damning videos about it, we could still be where we were earlier this year. They were just forced to acknowledge fault.

    The fact that they’re doing the right thing now doesn’t excuse what they did before that. Seems perfectly reasonable to claim damages for something that occurred prior. Although I doubt this guy will ever see any money come of this. Arrow Lake looks like a flop so far, and Battlemage is riding entirely on the backing of the CPU department. Intel’s immediate future isn’t exactly looking great.



  • All of this anticheat bs is still making the baseline assumption that the problem needs to be solved at the expense of the players.

    It’s illegal to steal someone else’s property. We don’t enforce that law by cutting off everyone’s hands preemptively so that there is less demand on police to solve a problem that hasn’t happened yet…

    If people are assholes and go against the wishes of society, you police and moderate them. If they can’t moderate their platform, that isn’t the fault of the community - it’s a failing of the corporation. It’s such a ridiculous mindset. It’s a fucking video game…

    Rolling releases for issues with newer hardware and the AUR. That’s really all there is to it. There are plenty of ways to be “unique”, but at the the of the day, nobody else is ever really going to care.

    If I bought myself a 6 year old Thinkpad, I’d put Mint over Arch on it in a heartbeat. For the desktop that’s constantly upgrading, it gets Arch because it has the fastest releases and biggest community to troubleshoot stuff.

    These things were NEVER fucking left open at the park near me. Could wait there the entire day and the same fucking kid would be using it the entire time, completely oblivious to your attempts to get him to move.

    I swear, I probably only touched the thing once when i was a child. I came back with my daughter a few years ago and nobody was giving it a second glance. Used my kid as an excuse to finally get to play with the thing…
