And to think: this is on EVGA, arguably the no.2 or no.3 partner for Nvidia (along with Palit and ASUS). Modern business is far too ruthless for its own good.

It’s also that Nvidia sells their founder’s edition cards - the ‘top binned’ performing cards for less than EVGA can sell theirs. That means better performance for a lower price point than they can match.

I legitimately don’t know what to say to this? I don’t actually trust any other aftermarket companies, so kind of a problem going forward. More to the point though, while I actually do buy other EVGA products, this is... pretty much what their company is known for.

There’s a lot more than that. It’s pretty known that Nvidia treats its board partners badly. EVGA basically sells their cards at a loss anyway

It’s not just that. It’s a combination of factors. You should watch the Gamers Nexus video, he goes over a lot of it.

Sounds like someone ordered one and is now facing the inconvenient truths of their purchase.

If anything, that would make me MORE worried since it’s built by hand by people who KNOW that it’ll be a demo/shown to the public, and they still didn’t give enough of a shit to make the panels line up.

Uh.... Is it also unfair to pick apart a almost 10 year old car Model S cars from Tesla now for its shoddy build quality?

Lol, no it isn’t “unfair”. Tesla showed this at a semi-public event and let people record it. How is that unfair?

Why on Earth would you even show this thing in that condition? That mirror is straight up broken. This is supposed to get people excited?

This is not good! I don’t care how great Tesla is for breaking the mold and bringing EV’s to the masses. When your company is already notorious for panel gaps, you just don’t put shit like this out on display.

Surely, only if Coca Cola is paying him for everything he does moving forward?

Also pretty important is that Bill Nye is a performer. Yes he works in an educational context. But dude’s last major TV project wrapped up 24 years ago.

The man is a mechanical engineer and a tv presenter, his job is to say things people pay him to say. Are you dense?

The most “problematic” thing about this whole scenario, is you calling out Nye as a sellout. You go to great lengths to explain how coke has a huge problem with waste, yet somehow insinuate it’s Bill Nye’s fault for making a commercial. Bill Nye has done more in his 66 years on this planet to educate children and…

As much as I often complain about the tactics of the rich in avoiding and at times outright evading taxes with impunity I am completely with the boat owner here.

Only problem is that its a mob with nukes.

The economic war is sounding more and more like we’re witnessing the biggest mob take down in history. Hopefully we’re consulting some really good mob prosecutors with their knowledge and experience.

Are you and your company deeply tied to the leader of a regime who is invading a foreign country? Is your company the result of massive graft and you were able to purchase a state owned company for pennies on the dollar? Is your wealth tied to corruption and being best buds with a maniac with delusions of recreating…
