That's retailers taking advantage of stupidity, not tech people dealing with non tech people.

Not sure what these last few posts have to do with experiences with non-techies...

I suspect the bots grabbed them up while you were still in the checkout process putting them to out of stock in the process so Amazon has you on the list for the next shipment that comes in.

It was sold directly by Amazon, so I would not be too worried. I would just be happy that I was able to get one, even if I have to wait a bit.

At least she seemed to be asking the right questions instead of just going off on her own and getting angry at you about it.

I hold grudges. But when it comes to companies and products, nobody is perfect. It's impossible not to have some bad products slip through the QC of a company.
I think it's more to do with how a company handles having bad products, if I get the problems sorted out in a timely manner, and don't mess you about, then I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
 
If, like this case they appear to, not having an idea what their employees are doing in their name (management), or knowing and not caring, as long as the shit doesn't fall on them... then yeah I'd blacklist them. Because in either case it's a breach of the trust that the buyer has with them.

I am personally not a fan of blacklisting complete companies. I once hat a shit laptop from dell in the 2010s, but that doesnt mean I'm not more than happy with my 2 dell monitors. Look at the products you are looking to buy, not what they had 10 or 20 years ago that was shitty. Also don't buy products blind from one company because you had one good product, evaluate each on their own.
Support can change over years too, its not set in stone only because the support was shit in 1999 it still is today or the other way round.
I personally wouldn't know what I would want any different than my msi board and gpu, both run very good and fulfill my needs.

Sounds to me like you hold grudges for too long.  A lot can happen in 15 years.
 
Today's Apple does not look the same as Steve Jobs' Apple from, like, 2010.  Similarly, HP built much more reliable computers in 2010 than they do now.
 
From what I've heard from others, ASRock has turned a corner.  They're a noticeably better brand than they were just 5 years ago.

I'm sorry but msi was blacklisted for me in 2006..... why was it ever whitelisted for anyone else?

Is Diablotek gonna all the sudden become whitelisted? Is Dynex a good manufacturer now?

I hate how people forget things , it's beyond annoying. Asrock is still on my shit list. Will never forgive them for the absolutely terrible motherboard I bought from them in 07

I used to work in self storage. One day I had a woman come in and say she wanted to cancel her unit. I told her to let me know when she emptied it out so I could inspect it and do the paperwork. She said it was already empty. I came to find out that's because when she rented the unit two years prior she NEVER put anything in it. She was paying $190 a month for an empty unit. And she knew she had it, too, because she had 3 rate increases that we legally had to send notices for.

Short version of that answer... People are dumb.

She probably had murder plans and it didn't work out for her the past two years.

Is Jack Daniels usable in a liquid cooling loop?

Shielding isn't difficult.
 
What this thing claims to do, though, is complete horsepucky. 

Since the Platinum and the Pro XT are new they don't have spare parts, yet. They were going to send me a whole new unit, but since I bought mine from Amazon they said that it would probably actually be quicker to get them to replace it. So, that's what I did. Should be here tomorrow.
