    A product released at the back end of 2017 should have a proper support structure in place by now.

    That wasn't the reason why they refused to repair it, they refused because they don't have a proper support program in place for this product.

    The point isn't that they can't do this or that they didn't say they would, the point is that it's a scumbag thing to do for any company.

    Again this isn't about warranty of a disassembled product. In this case the refusal is because Apple doesn't have a proper support program in place for this product.

    so a clause that basically says "we can deny a repair for what ever reason we feel like, suck it up and buy an entire new $5k machine" this would not hold up in court. By the way, just because it's in their EULA doesn't make them any less of a scummy company. in fact i would say it makes them worse

    And none of that is relevant for PR. If you buy a product from a company and up front offer to pay for repair and get denied, you have a scumbag company policy that will get deserved backlash. Especially if you were told one thing and then didn't have the company deliver on their word.

    Mihle reacted to AlTech in Vice President and General Manager of AMD Radeon Gaming accuses NVIDIA GPP of monopolistic and anti competitive practices   
    Ummm. No, AMD's not. Nvidia is getting away with basically illegal practices
    For now, people who work at the companies which are part of the GPP are too afraid of losing their job to say anything on the record. Almost everything so far that has been said has mostly been off the record conversations.
     
    cos there's a lot of Nvidia fanboys.
    Oh yeah, definitely.
     
    Nvidia's not stupid. They will get rid of any evidence that exists of it and it will either take somebody screwing up one day or a raid on Nvidia's offices to discover anything.

    This isn't about coming in 2nd.  This is about a company stonewalling a market to prevent competition from ever happening.  If AMD cant sell what they do make, there will never be a competitive part.

    Mihle reacted to Humbug in Vice President and General Manager of AMD Radeon Gaming accuses NVIDIA GPP of monopolistic and anti competitive practices   
    It seems to be a popular opinion sadly even though it's stupid. Nvidia has a better architecture right now so AMD should only focus on improving there and not talk about anything else. It's ridiculous, as if the two things are mutually exclusive. 
     
    If somebody walks into your house and steals your TV you can call the cops and they will look into it to check the veracity of your claim, they are not gonna sit there and say 'forget about it, you should focus on getting your life in order'.

    Mihle reacted to Master Disaster in Vice President and General Manager of AMD Radeon Gaming accuses NVIDIA GPP of monopolistic and anti competitive practices   
    I can certainly see your point but that doesn't give Nvidia a free pass to try and extinguish them especially since, as you said, they're not really competing already so why go so hard on the scheme at all?

    This is like saying, "well they have the best product, so they can do whatever they want because the outcome will be the same"

    Yep. Because some users are so terribly inexperienced that they actually think surprise kissing a girl you hardly know without consent is a good idea.

    Um, yes? In fact, that is exactly what I would do, because I don't very much like people kissing me even under better circumstances, and I am well within my rights to say I don't like it. I doubt I would press charges or anything that severe, but you can bet they would receive a verbal lashing at least.

    Mihle reacted to dalekphalm in How to ask out my crush that likes me?   
    Here's the thing - that might have worked in 1997.
     
    But in 2018, with consent as such a hot topic? This is a bad idea. She might be a girl who likes that kind of spontaneous romance. Or she might feel violated because she didn't consent to him kissing her.
     
    Yes there are definitely "unspoken moments" in romance where the body language and the situation demand that one kiss the other without asking for consent - this is implied consent. Still "grey" in some circles, but largely accepted by society still.
     
    But just going up and unexpectedly kissing her could actually leave him in legal trouble.

    Don't do this. This is sexual assault. If you want to know if she likes you ask. It is easy. Use words.

    Mihle reacted to leadeater in AMD's official "eff you GPP" response: A Gamer's Choice   
    Well I'm not disagreeing with that, just saying your statement about the US being the only country is not correct because I can in fact say New Zealand has it too.
  24. Agree
    Mihle reacted to leadeater in AMD's official "eff you GPP" response: A Gamer's Choice   
    Well that's just not true, most democratic countries have freedom of speech/expression. Also most other countries have Constitutions as well, they just aren't required to come up local conversation. America doesn't actually have more special rights than other similar countries, we just don't like to continuously tell everyone about it.
     
     
    New Zealand is also ranked the most transparent government in the world and also the least corrupt country in the world. Australia in a lot of ways is similar as well, those are the only two countries I can speak directly about but most of Europe I'd suspect is similar as well.
     
    I'll leave it at that since political discussion is not allowed, but I'd rather you not think something that isn't actually true.
