How is this okay?

The future's lookin' bright.

Oblivious retards are the majority, that's why.
Once, I had to go on a rant with my friends for an hour on why Winblows 10 is shit and why they should stick with 7. Most of them believed me, while the only one who uses it usually has issues and refuses to acknowledge Win10 as the problem.

...

...

Why? What possible benefit there is for them to make a product this way? I just don't get it

Relevant story to this.

I work casually for gamestop and a while back I had this faggy little prick come in with his mother looking for a new gaming setup.

He was adamant about getting Razer even after I pointed out the high returns rate and the cost factor when even compared to products like Logitech of all things.
Nope, little shit was so fucking demanding in his precious razer that I'm like here you go, get the fuck out, k thanks.

WELL, got a text message from one of the boys that he'd been instore earlier today demanding a refund because the keyboard he bought a month ago no longer lets him change his 'game setup' options and it's our fault for selling him shit.

Exact words out of the store manager's mouth was "repeat after me, the guy who sold me this was right".

No refund, no exchange - take it up with razer.

On the one hand, these idiots deserve it for buying (((Razer))) in the first place. On the other hand, always online for a hardware peripheral is some next-level kikery.

I apologise for our part in unleashing this cancer on the world

To mine your data and sell it to advertisers of course!

Because apparently Razer buyers "socialize" a lot and do many LAN parties so they need to have a hardware DRM so they can sync their dpi and macro settings wherever they bring their gear.
Don't look at me. That's retarded but I'm not the one who thought it up.

This i suppose, you are not people to these corporations.

WHO THE FUCK IS STUPID ENOUGH TO BUY AN ONLINE KEYBOARD AND MOUSE?

And this, students, is a textbook example of what will happen when your product uses always-online DRM or cloud-based services. If it doesn't let you operate offline or change settings, it's not worth it.

...

...

Now THIS is cancer.

Are you gay?

Well this is pretty hilarious. How the fuck can you be so retarded to use hardware that requires an online connection to even function?

Flat chests a best. At least have enough taste to oppai loli instead of a dried out old hag.

Ah, you are a peod. Thankfully you are gonna kick it withoutt passing on your retarded genes.

It's all about proportion, adding cowtits where they don't belong is fucking disgusting.

So what is the excuse for not allowing you to adjust DPI and etc. offline as well as saving and sharing settings online?

I mean if you're gonna push a social aspect to something as silly as mouse and keyboard settings why would you push away customers not looking for that social aspect?

I'm aware its blatant data mining, I'm just curious how they're justifying it to the lemmings.

At the very least pick one side and stick to it, pettan pedo

Jokes on you niggerfaggot. I just never updated my driver to the gayfag version.

Why do mice and keyboards need DRM?

Helps prevents piracy. You'll note that there is a 0% piracy rate of Razer products, so clearly it must be doing a pretty good job.

the thing is these don't have to sell legitimately. just contract mass shipments to gaming cafes in shittastestan and it'll turn a profit.

...

The real plebs are the ones arguing over tits in the first place when everyone knows asses are so overwhelming superior.

Feels fucking good.

...

Nigger please. It is that gap between the loli body and the soft loli tits that makes oppai loli great. It is because it is unbalanced that it is good.

When will (((they))) learn that adding DRM to things that weren't even pirated before only makes people want to pirate?

Its like bringing a steering wheel to a race track and having them provide you a car.

Fucking WHY? what benefit could this possibly have for anyone? Is this going to be the new trend where eventually we won't be able to take a shit or flush our toilets because the cloud is down?

that's essentially the end goal, yes.

Something something Razer laptops.

...

Out of curiosity, why does this need to be online?
What's the benefit for Razer? There's not even any metadata to sell from someone's KB+M settings right?

keyboard metadata is actually very useful for figuring out passwords.

Datamining.

my cheap chinese gaming keyboard and mouse has DPI on the bloody top of the mouse.

Well, obviously, but that's not what this is, I hope.
This is your mouse connecting to an online service and checking what it should be set to, then not connecting again.

Retards deserve it. It is obvious that using the cloud means that if you need to access something, and you don't have internet well you are fucked. Why people rely on this gimmick is beyond me.

because very few people actually understand population density and infrastructure. it's why Sim City is considered a complicated game, even the SNES one.

But user, you save storage to fit more games in!
That 5kb .ini file is very memeory wasting!!!

...

In all seriousness, I appreciate my family wanting to spoil me, but they don't have to pretend to be knowledgeable about my interests and buy the most expensive thing available. Unfortunately, money has this unsentimental aura that makes it a no-go for Christmas gifts, but even money has the honesty to admit ignorance rather than pretends to be authentic. The keyboard ain't bad, but it's not worth the money especially with Synapse. Never get anything by Razer, lads.

...

Industry crash when?

Intel wanted to do the same thing with overclocking their CPUs.

I bought a razer mouse and keyboard and they both died after a few months, absolute garbage.

The comments, just in the archive alone, is funny. They didn't even look into the product before buying

I can't wait until 2030 when all keyboards and mice are required to always be online and the government deals with undesirables by just forcing their computer to download a shitton of kiddy porn from a honeypot.

MUH INTERNET OF THINGS
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHA FAGGOTS

haha who needs to flush toilets, I need to confirm that it's flushed via app message anyway, why would you even flush it if you know the connection is down?

What did he mean by this?

Casual employee, the kind where you work certain days or work when called in.

That's usually called part-time.

>tfw still have my DeathAdder the good model

"Casual employee" is a Strayan term.

Cunt.

This isn't straya, cunt

In the future please refrain from shitposting while using pictures of my waifu.

Thank you.

How do you "people" even have internet? Do you ride kangaroos to work?

But the most important part of girls is the heart.

Bread and circuses are what keeps the populace sedate. If the infrastructure that supports them is sabotaged, mass rioting will break out.
The more things rely on flimsy infrastructure, the greater the destruction triggered by the infrastructure's planned collapse. Frankly, I'm surprised toilets haven't already been made reliant on the power grid.

...

...

Why?

...

...

...

I wouldn't call Logitech the best, for they have mice from either extreme, terrible or really good, in every sense. The keyboards are alright, they do the job fine and last long. And obviously, not online, and onboard memory is pretty sick, I use it to alternate between music playing mode and videogames mode.

The irony is the fact that razer offers offline applications to adjust things like this, and generally recommends making a local save file and using the offline applications.

I mean calling it "always online" kind of a lie, because you don't need the synapse server to actually make adjustments. It's like steam cloud. You can turn it off.

Corsair Master Race. Razer and Logitech Plebs clear the way for your better.

Logitech is mid-tier price and works for a long time. Corsair is a meme brand, but not on the level of Razer.

I'm stuck using razer mice since they make the only mice big enough for my hands. I've tried so many different brands but they all end up feeling too small in my hand.

I never change my DPI anyway so this doesnt affect me but i never understood why they went from offering individual drivers on their site to some catch-all app instead. It's like they were trying to emulate the nvidia geforce experience but I can't imagine why

Nah.

They, didn't really, you can just choose one or the other.

not for their newer mice

You laugh at this but the tech fags have been hyping the internet of things for years now. Billions of dollars are poured into it and you will see more shit like this as time passes.

Only thing that good from them is internals and mouse pads and even then a good half of it is priced worse than other brands.

PC gaming, everything is DRM, nothing is free like they tell you.

what are companies going to do with people's api settings?

We differentiate between part time and casual

Part-time here implies that you actually come into work on a regular schedule, while casual refers to a very inconsistent schedule of "Hey do you wanna come in today?"

imagine this happen to steam or games like league of legends

that's why I keep torrented game backups and avoid MP games without LAN

Why do all of that when you can avoid shitty products that dont have enough foresight to see massive potential problems.

MUH ESPORTS

But really, it's faggots who think they'll have a career out of esports. Thing is the fucks in the scene are kind forced to plug these products.

umad Holla Forums? u jelly? fuckn poorfags rofl

who is this semen demon

...

The only thing I'm angry about is the fact this thread isn't porn.

*turns off cloud*
heh nothing personal kid
*streams child porn from gentoo thinkpad into your hard drive and alerts the police*

Always-online is one failure mode I can do without, and refuse to deal with on any game, or computer.


Same dealie with phone accelerometer and smudge marks on touchscreens, why phones now offer a way to scramble the number layout every time.

i hope they take the osvr route and make their software free as in freedumbs

you've got to be fucking shitting me

Your manager sounds like a cool guy.

Are you sure it only does that?

You can't put your dick in her heart.

You wanna go there?

Girls have many holes, but if the heart isn't pure then you may as well put your dick in an animal.

i used to work in the electronics department of a department store, and my supervisor (who doesn't know much about computers) used to consult me on new shit to order. he suggested cloud-based storage hard drives because "people think that's exciting" and that it would probably sell. i argued with him for almost a week about why we shouldn't get it, not the least of which is at some point they will be unable to access the cloud servers and the retards who bought these in the first place will think we're responsible. or peoples' internet bills would like quintuple and people would think we're responsible. etc. he ordered them anyways and he was right, they sold like hotcakes, but so was i - nearly every single person who bought one brought it in demanding we "fix" it, and when they had it explained that their data wasn't even stored on them but on some random-ass server in hong fucking kong or some shit they went ballistic because again, it's our fault

tl;dr cloud services have never been and will never be a good idea for anything ever and these fags deserve what they get

what site is this from?

No the end goal is India

The warranty and serial info for the Razer hw device is also tied to the Razer account

You must be fucking shitting me. For what fucking purpose. You can't even say it is because of pirates. What the litteral fuck.

I will never buy a razer product because I find it absurd that a razer account is mandatory to change settings. It's the same with "NVIDIA experience". Glad the NVIDIA Control panel is a separate thing.

...

The world is beyond redemption.

What's wrong with win 10? Never had any problems.

Is there anything Sweden doesn't fuck up?

I'd have saved over $300 if I had just gone with logitech in the first place.

What is razer's selling point? Their items always looked tacky as fuck to me

SUPPOSEDLY their products have legendary build quality or something but I never cared for spending the extra 500 or so bucks on their shit when I can get the same hardware for less
Thats pretty much any "gaming" branded item you get from any company really

Good ergonomics, and a lot of marketing.

The Deathadder is a pretty good mouse if it doesn't die on you immediately, so they leveraged that into an entire brand for retards.

well they mostly edgy teens and adults with the color style and i heard the quality is alright

I have a deathadder from a few years back and it works fine for me, aside from doublclicking that I notice pretty much only when surfing specific sites online, so I can't tell if it is my mouse or the site.

There is no such site, you dumb nigger. I guess you don't even play fucking games to not notice it.

BIG AMERICAN TITTIES

...

Guess I'm lucky?

Has Zowie had a dip in quality after they got acquired by BenQ?
Bought a Zowie AM when they were still a separate entity, and it's so fuckin' good.

Probably going to have to see if I can open up the left click microswitch and see if I can bend the little metal lever inside. Started getting occasional double clicks after years of heavy use.

After the whole stuxnet pandora's box was opened, I fail to see how the whole internet of things is positive development in any way or form.

...

Daily reminder.

These people make me sick.

Lucoa from Maid Dragon.

Can anyone explain why anyone, customer of manufacturer, would want a server connection to be required to change hardware settings?
It seems like an extra cost to the manufacturer as they need to pay for the servers while offering them nothing of value unless it's spyware and they sell data to marketers but you think that would be uncovered pretty fast

...

I remember being 12.

Hey, if he's already shitting on win10, he's not so bad for 12 years old.

I really fucking hate normalfags who have "nothing to hide" until it bites them in the ass and some information they didn't want to spread gets out into the wild. Then they are so worried of their privacy, except it's too fucking late because they are retarded.

In the early days of hardware they really did have some of the higher quality stuff at least with mice, now they just thrive off brand loyalty. But now we're at a point where the good tech is really affordable and everywhere. The "CM Storm" chinese shit mouse I bought in a combo back for 30 bucks works just as well as any mouse I've paid a fortune for in the past.

I think you'd have to try really hard to find a mouse that is unsuitable for high level games like FPS at this point, anything built recently will more then satisty any try hards needs.Only reason to use a "branded" product now is if you're being paid for it.

...

i liked this

Sick burn friend I'm 33 and play ARMA not that it matters at all.


That was the majority response, they acted like I must have CP because I don't want corporations and governments seeing everything I do.

Is it bad that I have no interest or knowledge about hardware despite playing video games all day?

Next time ask them for their bank account details, they can give it to you with no worries since they have nothing to hide.

Yes, for keyboards anything cheap is fine so long as you don't want mechanical but for mice you should learn at least the basics.

WE ARE SO FAR PAST THE POINT OF NO RETURN

wew

Just want to say that no matter how Jewish Razer is, they still have the best mouse on the market (at least until it inevitably breaks and you have to replace it)

They're the only brand that provides as much for left-handed mice as for right handed mice on the market? It's the only reason I have a Razer mouse anyway.
Every single time I've gone out to a store & looked at a Logitech mouse and thought I'd like to own that, it's turned out to be some ergonomic right handed only piece of shit that's literally unusable.

And what might that be?

Nah, even if that shit lasted forever it's nothing special outside of the ergos.

I paid out the ass for this fucking thing too. Apparently I'm really lucky that it still works and my next one wont be a razer, I'll still pay out the ass for a new one however Thanks Canada.

What's the best mouse for drawing?

That's half the battle right there. Flawless sensor and the best shape/button layout. Everything else is secondary.

My paint skills are lacking but I would guess any decent optical mouse that lets you set the DPI low enough that your hand moves at the same rate or faster than the cursor.

Nah.
Not even close, G502 trashes it.

I don't draw anything myself, but any professional would probably tell you to get a tablet and not to use a mouse at all.

Side buttons are poorly placed and the rear is too fat.

Side buttons are comfy as fuck, and the mouse is the perfect shape for palm gripping.

What? There's a button on the bottom of the mouse that does it right? That thing's been there for as long as I remember and been a standard on every "gaming" mouse I've ever used. Why would they take it out?

How that even a fair comparison since g502 trashes everything in ergonomics department?

It's a fucking botnet you shill.

So the tools that buy them feel well used.

By some cruel twist of irony I got the one that isn't a fragile piece of shit despite actually actually fucking hating it in the end.

Not on RAZER(TM), you have use the app. And if you want it to be on a button you have to bind it to the side buttons as a macro.

Funny way to spell Steelseries.
Also has the best keyboards.

...

I'm sure they would and for most people that's probably good advice, but as for me I've tried a tablet and it's not happening.

if they had big-ass table-sized tablets that I could rest my arm on while drawing, maybe.

Graphics tablet, not tablet as in an oversized smartphone.


They do.

Then draw with pen and paper. I really don't see any reason to use a mouse or any way it could be good. It's definitely possible but if you need to ask for a specific mouse it really sounds like it's not for you. If you really want to go digital you'll want to at least do the outline and the skecthing by hand on paper and then scan it or something to draw it out with a mouse and color it.

God I want one. I've finally gotten skilled enough to have outgrown my Graphire, took a long time because I'm art retarded. That Cintiq is like the most beautiful thing. When I think of all those rich Tumblerfags with their huge cintiqs Daddy bought them and then they do some of the shittiest art that needs no serious pressure sensitivity I admit my jealousy goes off the charts.

Do some furry art, post your shit on tumblr, and start taking com post your shit, and start taking commissions. You'll have a couple grand for a big fucking wacom before you know it.

Wew, sure did fuck up that sentence.

Look into one of the cheaper alternatives or something like a Surface instead. I'm on my second replacement because the (proprietary) connection port is a piece of shit and is liable to die over time, just from the way the cable sits in it during use when elevated. The screen is also poor quality for the price you pay.

Not to mention if your cable gets defective you're looking at $100+ because Wacom keeps zero in stock for replacements. So you're forced to buy from assholes selling with 300% markup.

Do YCH commissions and prepare to be flooded in money.

Burgerland confirmed to have shit taste.

I thought about trying one of those. They're pretty expensive aren't they, though?

The little ones aren't, but the big ones are a couple grand.

Graphics tablets aren't that nice and over at >>>/loomis/ there's an entire thread about how it doesn't help at all.

I'm betting you got one of those puny ones from Wacom right? The bamboo splash or whatever. The problem is when most people buy tablet they try to go for the cheapest (and by default smallest) tablets available because they aren't aware how much it will completely fuck you over. Your screen doesn't need to be on the tablet, all you need is a tablet that fit your monitor with a proper ratio and you'll have a great drawing tool. And at most it's 1/2 the cost of the Cintiq, an Intous Pro Large can usually go for almost a third depending on where you shop.

We are already so far past the point of no return we can't even remember what it looked like when we passed the point of no return we passed the point of no return we passed the turn we point of no…

I bought Razer once. It was less than 50$ and started obnoxiously double clicking after 3 months. Never again razer. So what's a good reliable mouse on the.market right now?

Shouldn't cowtits mean they have footlong areolas or nipples or something?

Its like fucking poetry

how about you go back to whatever lolihating shithole you crawled out of?

Reported for supporting childfuckers.

>Got another less cheap gook clicker middle mouse button is temperamental now, and the back button on it isn't in the best spot for me but I don't think they did fall tests with is.

I'm now a disciple of cheap Chinese gaming mouses since they do the job as well as anything, cost less then $50 bucks for the most part, and don't have this kind of bullshit Though I wish I could get one who's middle mouse button didn't die on me.

someone get this hothead outta here

How dumb can you be? Get a real mouse.

Dude, what?

This is real? Who thought DRM on on a mouse was a good idea? Now I have another reason to bully people that buy razor.

Do you know what DRM stands for?
Like you didn't have a reason to bully people who buy overpriced poor quality "gaming" gear with leds and shitty software up the ass.

Doesn't their piece of shit datamining driver suite Synapse work in offline mode tho?
I'm pretty lack of internet connection only prevents you from syncing the profile online and giving them telemetry data like a good goy

He wont last long at GameStop, they usually fire the COMPETENT managers.

I do know what DRM stands for
and this acts close enough that i'll use the term even if it doesn't apply

Anyone who follows the gamer label is a retard, that's why they buy any shit with gamer on it like alienware or ryzen

ikr it's ridiculous how many retards fall for the mice/kb memes. my mice are usually around 20-30€ price range and they tend to last longer, feel better and work better than all that 60€+ trash.

keyboards are same shit.
not to mention the annoying clicking noise that everyone on voip chat has to bear with forever.

I am highly considering getting a zowie this weekend as my g400s is starting to malfunction. Would you guys or anyone with a zowie like to comment on the seemingly small size of them as theyre usually 10cm and if its an issue? Also, which specific zowie model do you own or prefer?

If you paid for more than a basic USB mouse and keyboard you can get at any store, you paid too much.

fucking why. come on. and it had to be some tryhard "minimalistic", hipster company too. of course. pic related has the same model, 2 side buttons and does the same thing for over half the price

Had the FK at one point and didn't like, it was too low profile. Then I had the eVo which was great but the wheel started dropping inputs after a couple of years. Then I got the EC1-A and it's been going flawlessly for years now. It's the larger of the EC1 "line" at 13 cm and I have no issues with the size. I have pretty average hands.


You can say what you want about mice but what mechanical keyboard can you get at the price of a "USB keyboard from any store"? A mechanical keyboard is a direct upgrade over a keyboard that's not mechanical.

No.

I mean yeah there's always that one faggot who goes "but muh rubber keyboard" but you can't fix shit taste right? If you do any amount of typing outside of shitposting on mongolian tapestry subreddits a mechnical keyboard is leagues better.

Mechanical keyboards are a meme, only thing cool about it is the clicking noise. You get no performance increase.

this . that's all there is to them. they're a meme and people use all kinds of excuses to justify their clicky keyboards. if anything they are actually harder to type on than a normal keyboard. they're shit and you're shit retarded.

A mechanical keyboard can, for a large segment of the population, provide some sort of benefit over a rubberdome one, however, the improvement is fairly minimal in terms of performance.

For me, the biggest improvement was simple comfort - I find mechanical keys to be far more enjoyable to type with, especially over prolonged periods of time, that alone was worth the £35 I paid for the Lolita, but I would never suggest anyone pay a penny more - the performance difference simply does not justify the insane £200+ prices some people are charging.

Get a load of this faggot.

I need to get me a mechanical one. I used one the other day and liked it better. I don't know if its the satisfying click after every button press but I felt like it was easier to use.

Fitting name as it's underdeveloped, it hasn't grown a numpad yet.

Membrane keyboards wear unevenly, and they wear really fucking fast. I used to burn through these $10 logitech keyboards twice a year because within a month, WASDQERF and space would be super worn and offer basically no resistance, while everything else was in various states of firmness, and that lack of consistency was terrible for both typing and gaming.

Meanwhile well-worn browns feel like brand new rubberdome keys that never get squishy/weak and remain consistent.

I bet his face is very satisfying to punch, but you'd need to douse him in acetone first to get rid of the grease.

It's not the weapon that makes a man. Your flashy faggot keyboard will never compare to someone who has used the same stock KB+M for 10 years.

They ride tornadoes.

Wew lads

IoT has been hyped because business majors fail to understand that "internet-connected devices" includes things like smart phones and cars, which aren't meaningfully grouped together.

wat?

...

...

Marketing - people just aren't smart enough to look up mice for themselves, so they buy something that was force-feed to them.

e.g.:

What's wrong with windows 10? What's wrong with windows 10? What's wrong with windows 10?! WHTAT"S WRONG WITH WINDOWS !)?@ WHAST"WINDOWS !)?

LOLICON IS JUSTICE! LOLI IS CIVILIZATION!

I knew my country had bad taste but shieeeeet

I bought a razer mouse and mechanical keyboard at a goodwill for 20 bucks. They're of a decent build quality, certainly not for a hundred dollars but as far as keyboards go this is one of the better ones I've used. I've been using them for about a year now and there's been no issues.

they mostly get shit because of the gaymer crowd they drag in, it's not really because of the product. I agree though, their products are pretty hideous.

...

At least you're not dutch, holy fuck where did they poll these people

I remember when people were defending this fucking trash when it came out in 2013. Fuck those retards, they deserve this.

I don't know why anyone would ever buy always-online mouse drivers, but this is exactly why. Damned sheep.

please stop posting

How dumb am I?

Memory is for RAM only. The red shiny button needed to be pushed yesterday.

Well since this is the way you think, I'd have to say pretty fucking dumb.

And here I read on
some days ago, that one part of Amazon's profits came from their cloud services, praising them, even.
Seriously, what kind of kikery is needing to have online mice and keyboard?

...

Honestly it's just because of who owns the IP when I'd be okay with anything that doesn't involve music. It also largely increases the chances she'll be in if they don't make a spooky zone.

Please don't tell me anyone here thinks that is real.

...

no

Why does polina look mentally retarded?

Poor art?

Sometimes I wish they would. Would be fun to pull on.

Thank you, Texas Chan!

Just be a good goy and give yourself up to the razorbotnet.

I don't know how many of you have worked in technology product/service oriented corporations especially of any appreciable size but let me clue you into something..


This is something that needs to happen for one reason and one reason only. Because someone in a position to pitch things to a higher executive or maybe an executive themselves looking to make a name for themselves with something DAZZLING and NEW and PUSHING THE ENVELOPE told them that this always online settings thing was going to be the best fucking thing ever. Those fucking executives, those people in charge, are out of touch not only with the "pulse" of the market and consumers but even out of touch with the products their own fucking company produces (this is the result of several factors) and so they just go along with what this guy looking to further their career, put a bright spot in their resume, because he is using the right buzzwords and sounds confident and all the other slimy bullshit.
And so this type of always online bullshit is given the go-ahead. It is made as a company wide goal. The people who are doing the actual fucking work have to do it even if they don't agree with it because in a corporation its more important to do what you're told rather than to do what is right (technically, financially, ethically) especially the further removed from the top you go.

You want to know what the bitch of it is? The guy who proposed this GREAT NEW AWESOME THING of always online settings and basically DRM for hardware peripherals? He's long gone. He's either floated up in the company in a position beyond accountability for this product direction or he's long gone out of the company anyway. But I guarantee you that some other poor fucker is inheriting the fallout to this mess and he's being blamed and blackmarked for something he didn't build but was put in charge of.

So that poor fucker is going to have two decisions, try to tell these executives at the top that the idea that THEY GAVE FULL BLESSING TO was a BAD IDEA and thus hurt THEIR egos (you can guess how this option isn't going to go anywhere). OR, propose something like "We need our own servers for this always online shit! Or at the very least have two different cloud providers! Google looks good!"

This doesn't excuse anything about Razer and this isn't a defense. But I hope this peak into the reality of corporate structure of companies like this would give you a little insight as to how this baffling bullshit happens in the first place and why it suddenly becomes a legitimate question for consumers to ask why there isn't an offline mode for settings.

cooperate and producer hubris is the absolute worst, take a look at everything by david cage or guild wars 2 as examples of "how not to make gaem"

In the case of Ubisoft, hurting their egos is tantamount to racism/sexism.

There is no other way to explain their choices of always online and P2P using in For Honor. It screams of being a bad idea, but when people tie their choices so close to their self-worth, they are doomed to fail.

Oh see this sort of shit doesn't just end up fucking customers in some way. A good amount of shit ends up fucking the company over internally over hair-brained and poorly executed and managed "projects."

The company I currently work for has several IBM products totaling somewhere in the high teens in millions of dollars just collecting dust because of a failed project to completely overhaul the tech stack of the company from all levels.
Oh, and lets not even count the money lost in manhours to consultants imported from the east (H1B visas and pumped up resumes) that were supposed to set all this shit up and hand it off in working condition but nobody stayed on top of THEM and when their contract ended they walked away while everything was left an un-salvagable mess. oh..CANT SUE EM EITHER! because the fuckdicks that made the requirements for the project didn't know what the fuck they wanted and so those consultants technically fulfilled their contracts.

And at every step of the way everyone has to just nod and go along with it because someone at an executive level is invested in these schemes.
Customers never see this side of things but the ramifications within the corporate structure and culture do eventually trickle out into the products as damage control to cover up that last bad idea becomes the only priority.

Corporations are murder to the soul. Ever wonder why so many people seem like sociopaths and psychos? Blame that shit.

It's my fucking job to work with computers, and Windows 10 is the most unfriendly system to power-users in existence. Using it feels like trying to do BMX with a tricycle. It shoves all of the advanced features and even file access into the retard safety cabinet and expects you to get by with whatever shitty apps come preloaded. Don't forget that there's fucking ads, as if everything else wasn't bad enough.

Thank you Texas-Chan!

What sort of work are you doing that you would have to do it in a windows 10 environment?
And shit, nigga, have you never heard of cygwin?

Which explains the shit produced by silicon valley in the last 10 years.

Look at this consumer whore, he acts like hot shit for buying Razer yet he has a really shitty monitor. I know because I have that exact same model
Also

I'm not gonna lie I was smug as fuck, and kind of a dick about it, too.

"web 2.0" and "cloud" stuff makes all that dev shit so easy. Of course they're going to support it.

Similar things could be said with the fucking RGB on all the peripherals, back of your mobo and dust filters that's being pushed nowadays.

Shit..most modern cases have a see through panel on them for just this reason.

Step the fuck up and get a mouse that actually fits your fucking hand, peasants

Is that from the next Tranformers movie?

...

Yes, and it transforms into a fuckable robot waifu. Shits comfy as fuck, boys.

I may be a moron that commissions art of their waifu but at least I can cheat the system a little bit.

why did you give a little boy your phone number user

RGB internal drives when?

...

He obviously means one of his coworker's in this context. It is a common saying at least in my region however I can't see any reason why it can be worldwide. Polite sage for OT.
