I see so much negative press about pretty much anything China does, this is quite exciting (to be fair, they do a lot of concerning stuff!)

Holy crap there’s a ton of these that they’ve made?!

Yeah but there’s other contributing factors, such as the highly traditional society and a greater sense of honour and conformity

Holy shit that must be equally frustrating and satisfying all at once - what a turn around!

…and if they can day that with a straight face, give them an Oscar!

(I say this as a kiwi looking from afar)

Sadly it’s a lot cheaper than a support hotline…

And it was always temporary!

I’ve had less fall out than I had cases where the screw stuck in the socket and it started unscrewing out of the motherboard that I just gave up on them altogether

Holy crap, is it still working?

I thought nitter died…

Well, of course they are, but so is just about everything

Great thumbnail!

Dunno (or care!) about the rest of it. Kinda strange content for the technology community…

Oh yeah, I remember these! They were often shaped to fit in around the strip of function keys (and some weird ones down the side?)

Wow, that’s amazing - thanks!

No, not at all - I think it’s hilarious! You’ve completely misread me

I was just curious as to why them (obviously we’ve got to pick on someone)

I’ll never turn down G&T, but more importantly, what did Belgium ever do to you? I’m just curious…

If you’ve got a spinning wheel of ‘who’s gonna get it today’ and Belgium came up, that’s fine, too

Well, I guess it is racist Wednesday for some of the planet currently, even if not my timezone …but why them?

Everything about marketing I absolutely despise. It’s all lies sowing a hunger within that their product will satisfy a need.

A bullet is too good for them!

And anyone who knows what they’re doing would have built in decent safeguards - obviously hindsight is a luxury here, but there’s a reason there’s a whole lot of checking that goes on when others are downloading update content over a hostile network… Input validation is a thing, and all that.

They just weren’t very mature on that front, and now we all got to laugh at them but everyone else made similar mistakes along the way, just most of them started their journey decades ago (thinking windows update, etc), so we forget about the learning curve they suffered through building a resilient process

Holy crap - get to the point!

Amen!

Well, there was that time they included a rootkit in their audio CDs (this went on for a couple of years. Wikipedia)
