  1. That's a real bummer... Drilling new holes IS a valid option, but watch out for how tightly you screw it down... AM4 is significantly higher profile than LGA1xxx
  2. We called them out when we experienced reliability issues. Beyond that, we haven't experienced anything first-hand, so we don't really have any evidence for their reliability one way or the other.
  3. Ahhhh. It wasn't clear from your post. It sounded to me pike you hadn't heard back from them yet. Thanks for clarifying.
  4. ***EDIT*** Looks like the poster HAS contacted them and it's the inconsistency of their responses that is troubling. That makes much more sense. Original: The first party you should contact about this is Thorum. You should ask them for clarification about the attributes of the product you purchased, and then see how they resolve it. If they engage in any kind of malicious or fraudulent behavior, then you can raise it here. Maybe we should pin this or something because there seems to be some misunderstandings about what this thread is. It's not a support chat for any random company that LMG has ever mentioned in a video. It's a safety mechanism to ensure we aren't promoting talking points or products that are misleading or harmful to the user. We obviously do our own due diligence, but sometimes individual experiences can be enlightening, or long-term users can uncover issues that wouldn't be apparent to us in a short amount of time.
  5. Photoshop - AI aside - in the way that most people use it, is pretty much a 'solved' workload for modern GPUs anyway. That's why no one really includes it in their benchmark suites anymore.
  6. I wonder how many of the people who criticized this review are going to buy the Fairphone 5 and daily it for 7+ years. The last part is the most critical. If you aren't actually reducing your consumption, then you've accomplished nothing. You're like a Prius driver who rides around on your gas-hog ride-on-mower on your water-guzzling lawn in California. It's easy to virtue signal. It's hard to actually daily drive a device that is 'fair' but kinda sucks in every other way - including some SERIOUS usability problems (like the ringtone and vibration one).
  7. We're commonwealth and most of our pronunciation and spelling cues actually come from British English, not American English. We just watch so much American media that we end up with a weird mish-mash.

    @LinusTech pcmr-tng. :)

    Start em young!
  9. Hrm... My bad. I'll see if we can run a shipping promo or something at some point over the next couple months
  10. You can also just use it. Think of it as free shipping for your order when we launch the cable management stuff in Q1
  11. If it ever naturally wear through, we will replace it with an all-new bag. The 'virtual second layer' is our response to those folks. We've got u.
  12. No, there's no pitfall here. Anyone who was unhappy could get a refund, plain and simple. We conducted a voluntary recall. There's no issue. The $25 credit was a goodwill gesture.
  13. Yeah you can have a refund instead if you aren't satisfied either the bag. No one was meant to be misled. We just needed to have an expiry of some sort on the credit for accounting purposes.
  14. From an accounting standpoint, the situation is very different for a second hand buyer. You're not asking for a refund. You're essentially asking for us to purchase the bag bag from you. It's much more complicated. For that reason, the warranty is transferable, but a refund on the product is not. As support laid out, if it ever naturally fails due to the missing second layer, we would be happy to get you taken care of in accordance with our upgraded warranty policy for this product. Contrary to your post we never said you can't contact support again. We just aren't going to give you a different answer about this specific issue if you aren't able to get in touch with the original purchaser. For them, we could process a refund, because it would be a refund. You'd have to sort out the money with them from there. Hope this helps clear things up.
  15. This is the first I hearing of us coordinating anything about this project with you directly. I'll inquire about how expectations were set. If it helps at all, I can relate to your frustration. Every comment I see about how bad this review is makes me want to put my fist through the screen and shout "what part of any of this made it sound like a review??" The thing is, when 1M people watch something, if even 1% completely miss the point, that will be 10,000 people. No getting away from it. I think most people are pretty clear that we made no attempt to build this properly because it wasn't the point. Maybe there will be an opportunity to do a DIY headphone project where we build the Satyr 1 for real. I was very impressed by many aspects of the design and I think it could be a cool topic. It just wasn't the topic today and I'm sorry if you felt misled
  16. That was never the goal. Your design is great and we had a lot of fun building them. We praised the comfort. But the thing is, we set out to troll Dankpods, not to reach the full potential of what can be accomplished with diy headphones. I don't think any reasonable person watching would imagine the lack of performance is due to your design when we used drivers that cost less than the filament we used printing the parts.
  17. It was on purpose. You weren't the only one to whoosh on this one so I was probably a little cranky in my response becuase of all the responses at that time along the lines of "see this is what I'm talking about. They make so many mistakes lol" Such is life.
  18. No, it only makes us look bad to pedants who can't see the forest of jokes through the trees of minor errors. Riley goes on in that spot to pronounce pretty much everything wrong... It's obviously on purpose. As for Gaussian, I was going based on what I heard in school. Duly noted, but I'll probably forget
  19. Maintenance on the Volt was hardly anything. Whatever I'm eating in oil changes I'm saving in regen braking. Anyone who hates on the Volt has never owned one. Period.
  20. I'll be honest.... The big one is that I want graphics with multiple colours of reflective ink and it changes the application process enough to have a significant impact on cost lol......
