Comment on ASUS breaks your ROG Ally if you don't pay $200 for warranty repairs: SCAMMING COMPANY!

Engineers don’t do thing maliciously with their designs. They pick things based on cost, and probably even raised the cable length as a risk/concern during the design and testing phase, and we’re overruled by the bean counters.

Even in your defense, you point out that someone at the company made the explict choice to use defective cabling for whatever reason. At no point did he blame the engineers.
That’s a shit company that doesnt deserve anyone’s support, regardless if it was “engineers” or “bean counters” that opted to still sell what they knew was a defective product.

I’m just suggesting a probable scenario. I would be really surprised if this was malicious.

Intentionally selling a defective product without informing you customers beforehand is malicious, no matter the justification.

I’m fine not having this conversation anymore. I just gave a perspective from an engineer. No need to continue shitting on me. I’m not even defending the practice.
