| sir_alex_leo | Hey Louis, Regarding DSC warranty, not sure if you're aware. But there's also archive.is for webpage backups. I find it more resilient from takedowns. Downside, a user need to make the snapshot.

This happened in 2023 but Razer continued to sell the computer up until July 2024 at a premium price (the top configuration cost up to $4,299.99 new). They are still ignoring us to this day.
Razer advertised this computer with an option for a top of the line display using mini led (similar to MacBook pros). They sent the configurations to reviewers who all said very positive things about it. It originally featured a display manufactured from AUO, however, after some months, they switched to BOE displays. They didn't tell anyone as the display was supposed to be the same, however the new display was noticeably terrible.
PROBLEMS: Ghosting, Artifacts on the screen especially when there are contrasting colors (black and white), Severe blooming, terrible response time on dark areas (as the mini led has to turn on) WELL BELOW THE ADVERTISED "<3ms"
JUST SOME EXAMPLES:
1: Linus Tech Tips made a review of the laptop a few months after everyone else, so they got the BOE display. Their experience was considerably worse than every other reviewer who got the AUO display: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xcnRxI5Y2I

This is a widespread issue judging by the amount of posts (Just look up Razer blade 16 BOE) and the amount of comments in the posts
Razer's response was to release a software fix for the BOE display. All it did was make it worse and they quickly deleted the "fix".
The deleted "fix": https://mysupport.razer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/13533
CONCLUSION:
All we get now is the promise that a fix is "coming soon". When I tried talking to Razer support and that's all they would say. It is very clear that all their support is only allowed to copy and paste the same PR nothingness. Even their "VIP SUPPORT" just copies and pastes unhelpful and uninformative pre approved emails.
THEY HAVE THE AUDACITY TO END EACH OF THEIR EMAILS WITH AN ADVERTISEMENT TO BUY MORE RAZER PRODUCTS Example: “Unleash and Dive into the world of innovation at Razer Store.”
It's been 2 years now and still nothing

 archercat54 | Roku up to some shenanigans again.
Roku forcing you to watch an ad first things first when you turn on your device so you can watch what you actually want to watch.
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/03/roku-says-unpopular-autoplay-ads-are-just-a-test/
What I love about this the most, is that in classic paid moderator shill abuse fashion, is that the linked Reddit post is locked. Classic.

| archercat54 | Roku claims they're not permanent, that theyr'e just "testing", same deal as Tado. | 07:30:29 |
| archercat54 | These companies will milk you for everything you've got, know exactly what you're doing, when and where, but it will still not be enough. | 07:31:15 |

 Austin Foss | Dear Louis,
I have a question about starting a small business. I've had a side gig as an arborist for a couple years but always with another primary income. Would rely entirely on word of mouth.
Now I'm needing to make this my primary income but am at a complete loss how to start finding customers.
Advertising through flyers and door knocking just seems rude, in the same way calling someone for something that can be done through text can be seen as rude today. | 23:35:58 |
