  • I helped a friend spec and build their first machine and they got an Aorus (that’s so weird to spell) board but it’s literally just branding. The board is fine but has nothing fancy, and it’s not crazy expensive but it’s sure not cheap either. We have flashed new bios on it twice and the instructions are well over 15 years old and very wrong. It’s a word document and like 4 steps, and they can’t even be bothered to do that much? What set are they leaving on autopilot? (oh, owners, update your bios as there is a recent exploit in the bios due to lack of ssl/tls… as in, there is none when checking for updates which can lead to you installing a malicious bios…)

    Just… questionable.












  • It’s your opinion that the service is worth the price; I know nobody who shares that opinion. Sharing an alternative shouldn’t be seen as hostile or “wild”. If it was like a buck a month, I’d pay that. But at checks notes $3/month for increased upload size (I have a nas with public file sharing, so…) and… emoji? or $10/month for the above + “super reactions” (wat), not-ass streaming res, “server boosts” (???) and “custom profiles” (what does that even mean? a background?)… You’re kidding me, right? I pay less for my web hosting, or my vps, my security/AV software… Even Bitwarden, or NextDNS, is pennies compared to nitro. Ten bucks a month is actually insane from my perspective. $120 a year for bigger uploads and decent streaming resolution is highway robbery.

    To use your term: wild.
