| oiaohm | MinceR: really that picture more suites Window users. | Apr 17 12:13 |
| schestowitz | but they don't deny issues as much | Apr 17 12:13 |
| oiaohm | Really?? | Apr 17 12:14 |
| MinceR | winblows users are less likely to deny hardware issues | Apr 17 12:14 |
| MinceR | and less likely to experience them | Apr 17 12:15 |
| oiaohm | Not really. | Apr 17 12:15 |
| MinceR | since crApple hardware is bottom-end quality | Apr 17 12:15 |
| oiaohm | I know that about one in 1/10 PC go out the door with defective part somewhere | Apr 17 12:15 |
| oiaohm | Only about 1/100 come back. | Apr 17 12:15 |
| MinceR | crApple PCs all go out with severe design flaws touted as features | Apr 17 12:15 |
| MinceR | like the MagUnsafe connector | Apr 17 12:15 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: apple has not shipped with expoding batteries yet. | Apr 17 12:16 |
| oiaohm | Basically apple stuff has been minorly unsafe but some dell stuff was out to kill you. | Apr 17 12:17 |
| oiaohm | Worst part was dell had to employ a team to track down the last units. | Apr 17 12:18 |

| MinceR | and yes, dHell is bad, but afaict it's not as bad as crApple. | Apr 17 12:25 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: yes there is worse | Apr 17 12:25 |
| oiaohm | Get worryed when the motherboard in a PC contains no branding | Apr 17 12:26 |
| oiaohm | The case contains no branding | Apr 17 12:26 |
| oiaohm | You can bet the board is foxconn reject with evil issues from hell, | Apr 17 12:26 |
| oiaohm | Yet person comes in claiming that there computer was working fine up until a few days ago. | Apr 17 12:26 |
| MinceR | clarification: above i implied that winblows users use winblows on non-crApple hardware. what i said does not apply to winblows users on crApple hardware. :> | Apr 17 12:27 |
| MinceR | :) | Apr 17 12:27 |
| oiaohm | Note the hardware I am talking about is cheap china import crap that turns up here. | Apr 17 12:27 |
| oiaohm | Its not even certified for use in Australia | Apr 17 12:27 |
| MinceR | :) | Apr 17 12:29 |
| oiaohm | Best was one with a 120 v power supply in it. | Apr 17 12:29 |
| oiaohm | of course we are 240 | Apr 17 12:30 |
| oiaohm | And the person was trying to claim it worked. | Apr 17 12:30 |
| MinceR | lol | Apr 17 12:30 |
| oiaohm | Even worse that it was one of the machines we had sold. | Apr 17 12:30 |
| MinceR | does dHell use such foxconn reject components? | Apr 17 12:30 |
| oiaohm | No dell has some quality controls. | Apr 17 12:30 |
| MinceR | :) | Apr 17 12:30 |
| oiaohm | Foxconn reject components can be missing complete chips. | Apr 17 12:31 |
| oiaohm | So of course they don't work right. | Apr 17 12:31 |
| oiaohm | Even half solders on chips is not strange or board warped | Apr 17 12:32 |
| MinceR | ooh, just like a crApple III :> | Apr 17 12:32 |
| oiaohm | First generation xbox360 would be close | Apr 17 12:32 |
| oiaohm | Where foxconn forgot to include the paste under the heat sinks. | Apr 17 12:33 |
| oiaohm | So they kinda did not work. | Apr 17 12:33 |
| MinceR | :) | Apr 17 12:36 |
| oiaohm | Most scary I found was a secure system with its themmite destruction system for harddrive still fitted. | Apr 17 12:45 |
| oiaohm | Somehow sold out to general public. | Apr 17 12:45 |
| oiaohm | Yes it kinda has the police going you need the bomb squad to disarm what. | Apr 17 12:46 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: yes the fun of being near a mil base at times odd hardware turns up with extras you hope to never find. | Apr 17 12:50 |
| MinceR | :) | Apr 17 12:52 |
| oiaohm | Mind you I have been lucky. | Apr 17 12:53 |
| oiaohm | The most scary that I did not find was someone had pranked the computer with a smoke bomb. | Apr 17 12:53 |
| oiaohm | Ie open case and have the world worse smoke problem. | Apr 17 12:53 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: I guess you never have the problem of the opps this case is a true live one? | Apr 17 12:57 |
| MinceR | nope | Apr 17 12:58 |
| MinceR | i'm a software developer, i don't support hardware, except sometimes for myself :> | Apr 17 12:58 |
| oiaohm | I do a mixture of different things. | Apr 17 12:58 |
| oiaohm | I support hardware when there is not enough software development or they are simply run under and my project is not that important. | Apr 17 12:59 |
| oiaohm | Reason why I don't get to find some of the worst. | Apr 17 12:59 |
| MinceR | :) | Apr 17 12:59 |
| oiaohm | Of course new trainees being give case with alarm inside complain about it | Apr 17 13:00 |
| oiaohm | Until we show the the books of photos of the nightmare they might have opened. | Apr 17 13:00 |
