that mightve been the case during the 2010's when monitor tech was stuck in 144hz ish ips panels and minileds were somehow unfeasible

>>106934997
This is very likely the case. The evidence for it is that LED lighting, which was "supposed to last ten years" has a tiny 5 cent part on the tiny PCB inside the LED that burns out first. By spec'ing that part as one that typically burns out in 3-4 years, they get you to buy another light. The part that would last the full ten years costs 5 cents more. That is some hand-rubbing right there...

Don't know what to tell you, man. I've warrantied dozens of things over the years, from PC parts, to appliances, even guns, whatever. I've literally never once had a bad experience with an RMA from any company. Even when I've had problems that are explicitly exempt from warranty, or stuff that's maybe a year past warranty, I have always managed to talk to customer support, and have gotten them to issue me a "one time exception", or something to that effect.
It's not like I'm some charisma god, or sociopathic master manipulator. I'm literally a sperg who dump statted CHA in character creation. I have to assume that most of those sob stories you see posted on Reddit are from spastic manchildren who throw a tantrum, and are surprised when customer support doesn't want to deal with their shit and tells them to fuck off. In the post you screenshotted, that guy literally admits that support called him "rude, abrasive or abusive".
Literally all you have to do is clearly explain your problem, don't over-share irrelevant or 'problematic' details (e.g. admitting accidental/physical damage), be polite, but make sure you subtly frame it like whatever went wrong is the manufacturer's fault somehow. Be a pleasure to deal with, and customer service will *want* to help you.
So, yes, skill issue.

Anyone who spends this much time getting dicked needs to learn the beauty of chargebacks. This is why I use Amex. I've done chargebacks for 5 year old products before. Provide them with some decent proof of a good faith effort on your part to seek warranties, and as long as you aren't doing multiple charegbacks per month, Amex won't give a fuck.

No idea if they take it out of the retailer's pocket or the manufacturer. Not my fucking problem either way.

It was kinda sad as those guys did work on some of the most advanced machines in the field. But if they had a computer problem, they would just replace the whole thing, let IT set it up and put it in its place. That actually can be insanely expensive, when it, for example, just needed a stick of ram replaced.

I don't have an adapter like that but yes should work. Lightning is just the connector. protocol is usb2. So same principle applies: you need a 'host adapter' so the phone becomes the host and drive will be usb mass storage. Normally when you connect a phone to pc, the pc is the host and the phone behaves as a device connected.

KDE looks like the old clunky linux but slightly updated to resemble Windows a bit.
It's usable but some parts are clearly not done properly.
And people shit on Ubuntu (with Gnome) but it's by far the most polished UI out of the box.
Turns out that having an actual significant number of devs paid to polish it pays off. Instead of hobbyists doing it in their spare time
I mean I don't like the idea, I'd rather not have to depend on a company, but at least it's not Pajeetsoft

Polished in what metric, sucking ass?

>>106935436
UI
The windows, the file manager, everything is done in the same style and it has proper cohesive design. Nothing looks janky. Animations are even better than on Windows.

Now I can't guarantee that what you install from other sources will look the same..

This isn't capitalism because the market would have shot those two by now. It's a form of cronyism because the only way something like this happens is if somebody in the government makes it happen and allows it to be state enforced. It's because both the government is corrupt and the economy is so locked down that things like this happen. Capitalism requires the absence of government intervention.

OP here, what's wrong with building a PC in your kitchen? I literally just put in my RAM and M.2 SSD into the motherboard on my electric stovetop (over the faraday bag it came with). It's the best place to do it where I can stay grounded. The outlet is in arm's reach which makes the grounding wrist strap way easier than my desk, and everything besides the kitchen, indoor patio, and bathrooms are carpeted

Also possibly a bread maker if you're on a budget and trying to eat well. When I was a single man I'd have my bread maker on a timer so it would have a loaf of hot fresh bread ready for me when I got up to go to work in the morning. Had it down to a fine art where it took me less than 30 seconds to fire all of my ingredients in and turn it on.
Then I'd dip hot, fresh buttered bread into my slow cooker full of venison, potatoes, mushrooms.. anything I could find that was in season. Absolute pinnacle of cheap, healthy, easy food.
Now I'm hungry and my wife won't let me cook anything :(
