I have had it with Roon, their lack of support, their user forum, and it's users...

In hindsight it's just wicked funny to read this reply to the first podcast episode (Roon Labs interview) for obvious reasons

Was “dynamic rage” a typo or done purposely?

 

If we weren't even trying to mince words by any means, we're merely talking about a relatively young company with dozens of employees while a bunch of geeks seemed to be enjoying their tremendous success early on

Not really all that surprising to see some tech guys getting cocky, no wonder they might not even give a damn about PR whatsoever since they could very well be too green to know anything about that to begin with.

 

While it's certainly great to build cult-like cultures within the company, regrettably they're somehow applying a piece of that to the "royal treatment" of their very own customers instead

Architects of visionary companies don’t just trust in good intentions or “values statements;” they build cult-like cultures around their core ideologies.

 

They aren't necessarily exhibiting the behavior of a clock builder as mentioned in the article linked above, not that they would actually have a care in the first place IMHO.

This one would be way too funny and I just couldn't resist since I'm also an Asian myself, my classmates and I were constantly making fun of our teachers back in our high school days

Oh WOW, that would be such an irresistible offer since we're talking about such an incredible HDD that actually costs a WHOPPING 45 bucks these days

How wonderfully generous they've gotta be offer something THAT? ROFLMAO

Is that like when a person goes to see a lady with a whip?

 

Are we supposed to keep everything family-friendly here?

 

 

Maybe we could also talk about Business Development Sales & Marketing, I bet that delivering ads in a customer's face really DOES help a lot in terms of developing such a thriving business.

Oh man, money doesn't grow on trees and 1TB HDDs do cost money

and it was REALLY necessary to spam us all with this WITHIN Roon??????????

While 1TB ain't any good for XCH, how could anyone go wrong with borrowing the CPU just a little bit for stuff like BTC or ETH? (j/k)

Websites use your CPU to mine cryptocurrency even when you close your browser

Showtime websites secretly mined user CPU for cryptocurrency

That really wasn't too uncommon back in 2017, I just couldn't stop laughing at the CPU usage myself after seeing what @AudioDoctor posted above.

The module reflashes the firmware with malicious code that gives the attackers a persistent foothold on the system even if the owner reformats the hard drive or wipes the operating system and reinstalls it in an attempt to clean the machine of malware.

 

It's also somewhat funny when they're giving freebies away. Maybe it just smells kinda fishy because 1TB HDDs are too small and too slow these days, not even good for Chia farming.

Those are called (unique) features, not bugs.

 

Therefore they could only be added, while there's absolutely nothing whatsoever to be improved and fixed at all.
