ASUS is terrible not because they make bad products (in fact many of them are good), they are terrible because of their horrendous support.

There is no shortage of customer service horror stories because of this company. I would not give them money.

Asus more like a sus.

Seriously though send your money elsewhere. They are cheaters.

ASUS just retroactively removed access to the router I've had for 3 years, unless I agree to new terms and conditions. They are now and forever off the list of "companies I do business with"

The real question is can it match Valves warranty practices?

Amazon is already designated as a VLOP.

laranis , 1 day ago in Google’s AI Overview is flawed by design, and a new company blog post hints at why

The design is based on the false assumption that Google's page-ranking algorithm favors accurate results and not SEO-gamed garbage. Google Search has been broken for some time, and now the company is relying on those gamed and spam-filled results to feed its new AI model.

God I love this so much. Though I'd bet there will shortly be two Google search algorithms, one for us engines of consumption and one directly from 2016 only for the AI to feed from.

At thrice the energy consumption, of course.

Fusion is so inefficient that it wouldn't be used anyway. It's literally a waste of energy.

Very cool. Execs being liable should be the norm.

What was the draw for this thing? Was it super cheap or something? Seems like a bluetooth stereo would have been a much better play.

BrikoX OP Mod , 2 days ago

It was 90 at pre-order/launch and then 50 after they discontinued it after a few months, but still kept selling it.

LadyMeow , 2 days ago

I see so not really cheap either. No matter what, shitty of then to brick their discontinued device….
