    The usual. Hardware quality slowly goes to shit, company starts getting tricksy with consumers to make money instead of making quality product.

    The big one was the BIOS update that nearly fried a lot of 670 motherboards that ASUS turned around and tried to avoid taking responsibility for, trying to pin issues on the consumer.

    It’s capitalists being capitalists. Completely ruining their brand to squeeze out a short term 1% increase in revenue.

    We are in the “how many of my customers can I screw over and completey piss off and still make a profit” stage of capitalism.
