Gadget Spergs - Shills and People Who Live in Comments Sections all Day

[Trans Fat 41g]

So we're finally on about the Linux community and I've mentioned a few times how proudly material gadget geek writers are, it obviously isn't limited to whatever computer operating system you prefer.

I've followed quite a few tech blogs over the years and I've had less of a reason to do so, because it just is not as fun or informative like it had been since pocket computers boomed in 2007-2009 (post-blackberry). In general Western Geek Culture had been shit since prime time television turned its dial up, and when social justice had taken over tech hobbies.

We haven't made any progress in debate and discussion when we started gluing our eyes to the screen and watching shit reviews of every day products:

Because no operating system has the same issues as the other, there's still something to be said when any product you aren't spending thousands of dollars on is imperfect:

...Clearly, go buy an Apple product because it performs differently like every brand performs differently. I don't think I need to screen capture YouTube comments so you can deduct whatever volume of brain cell loss accumulated.

Just take a look at the salt regarding Samsung's latest controversy regarding exploding Galaxy devices. It's like people are surprised questionable factory conditions, which is pretty much every electronics factory to date.

Because accidents like this happen every day, but who needs a real job when we can write about every case under the sun, right? When one corporation fucks up (and then admits it) forget everything the other guy did and freely advertise via tech blogs, until Other Company releases a defective product.

This is a good idea, because people obsessed with shitty consumer gadgets are annoying, but they usually more take the form of pretty boring people, as you said, the articles are a cycle of paid ads. The other form is plain fanboyism in comments. I doubt anyone of them will admit that both Apple and Android have made flesh-melting devices.

I think the most entertaining thing we can do is post videos of people glued to their phones on the street and getting hit by cars, but even searching those up just bring a bunch of shitty top ten video lists "Top 8 ways to avoid getting hurt while using your smartphone!"

Fuck.

So that Galaxy Note 7 phone that is exploding is hitting the news all over right? I can't even spam screenshots of the nerd rage, it's just the most beautiful rock salt on the face of this rock right now.

>Several reports of batteries going nuclear
>Samsung releases a statement (#1)
>Shills deny product defects
>Several MORE reports including injuries
>Sperging about how an iPhone or Samsung killed someone
>Samsung fixes the problem, phones still exploding
>Carriers and other retailers drop the phone like a literal hot potato
>People continue to deny that this can happen with any device

I don't know, I haven't felt the urge to spend several hundreds of dollars on a phone even if it is worth it, because you can grab a phone from an OEM that isn't decorated by media or case manufacturers with very good specs below what an Apple or Samsung would ask for. You can even buy identical knock-offs that work EXACTLY like these pocket computers.

Digress, the pure autism is hotter than pepper extract. Loving it.

I often wonder where the short-circuit occurs that turns brand loyalty up to 11 like this... ? you see it mostly in gadgets, like phones, OS's and game consoles, but it can be found in everything, firearms, automotive, chain retail stores, tv channels, hell, I even ran into a guy who kept a Pro-Airbus "Boeing kill count" webpage, where he blamed every aviation fatality in a Boeing product since 1950 on "bad design" even when the causes of the crashes in question were poor maintenance, pilot error, or even terrorism.

What on Earth makes you define your self-worth as a person by the performance of a commercial company you don't even WORK for?

What's even worse is you can get paid to make an advertisement out of a fatal tragedy.

An Engadget author called out Microsoft as cheap for replacing a kids phone for free, when the issue wasn't even about his phone, but surviving an impossible turnover at over a hundred miles an hour. Like you get paid for being an awful cunt just to smear a tech giant.

I feel like it is becoming trite at this point, but, :autism:.

I feel like it is becoming trite at this point, but, :autism:.

Not only autism, it'd also be not wanting to admit the company behind something they fanboy over has fucked up. Some of these people become devoted fans that they would spend a lot of money on these products and wanting to admit these products can end up being broken or dangerous would be hard for them to swallow if they have an ego.

The comments...

I imagine Leafyishere responding to all this shit what the fu-

This sort of fanboyism pops up on PC hardware review sites as well. Go to any WCCF article about video cards and look at the comments. Non-stop shitflinging, rampant shilling, accusations of admin bias and even doxing, all over whether their chosen brand is "winning".
It's completely insane.

Community tech support forums for PC gaming are equally shit these days.
If you use any OS other than the Latest Windows OS (10) and have technical issues with a video game on your computer All you get in response on help forums is either "we just don't know" or people having fucking wars in the thread with shills who just respond "get the new windows OS".
Alternatively if you do have windows ten they start going batshit over how "your specs must are shit" even if your trying to run a god damn DOS game on a system with the highest possible specs.

Of course there are exceptions to this rule, but usually you need to do some digging through fifteen or so threads to find the good responses that aren't either silence or a fucking war between shills and other people having the same issue you are.
