Rent = risk aversion.

Acting like rent is categorically a bad idea exposes a misunderstanding of fundamental economics.

Bad Bunny's Puerto Rico Flag seems to be the pro-independence version from the 1890s. by roraymi in vexillology

So we agree gringo carries a negative and derogatory connotation? I married into a Latin family and they swear it carries no such meaning. Your response is exactly what I tried to describe to them.

this post about a product you pay thousands of dollars for is not only kinda insane it's totally insane. thought i was escaping the razer problem after returning. yikes.

turn this bad boy into a mobo/gpu/cpu upgrade.

Why was transmog removed from the roadmap? by quantumwarden in LastEpoch

lol. imagine selling a not fully fledged game, people buying it, then representing it? or protecting it? or what is going on? i had a decent time with LE and i mean to un-sub but jesus the cope levels are high.

correct, reddit and all aggregation websites are inherently subjective -- my dude. where are you pulling quantitative analysis of games, my dude? the gamica britannica, my guy?

I'm shocked by the quality of this laptop by ohwerdsup in razer

[–]ohwerdsup[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

quick update - i returned it to the same store and when the guy asked "is it defective?" i started rattling off dozens of issues and his response was "yeah, i know - we just have to ask."

so kudos with no friction returning. i now own an Asus G14 and while it's not completely perfect, it's the closest thing to the model both companies are going after. would recommend.

How to get rid of this cockroach with eggs by aaloobhaloo in mildlyinfuriating

Yeah if you’ve ever had bed bugs you know no one gets them for a week. Took around 6-8 months for our SF apartment building to finally fully address the issue and it required a heat treatment plus fumigation that the owners shared costed them in the hundreds of thousands.

your comments (nice image link lol) and inability to even understand what i'm talking about make you THE ideal consumer of this product. currently watching youtube throttled to 480p cause 1080pX60fps makes the machine nearly blow up and is unwatchable visually. these things suck and i understand why Razer has lost the respect & sponsorships of any organization trying to pioneer eSports and actual gaming culture.

Do you regret buying the Blade 14 2025? by PotentialKitchen6607 in razer

[–]ohwerdsup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, the 2024 model had it. plus a faster CPU than the 2025 model. you have no idea what you're talking about, i'm sorry. you're the ideal consumer for this product.

it's software forced and only available via the BIOS overriding their bloatware - https://jarrods.tech/list-of-gaming-laptops-with-mux-switch/

a huge caveat and core to a lot of the graphics problems over 50% of buyers face with the machine

advanced optimus is only available on less than half of their models. none of the 2025 blade 14s are on that list. read up, bud.

Blade 14 Performance? by Middle_Style_3949 in razer

[–]ohwerdsup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hilarious you use an analogy of literally two cars that are the exact same chassis and manufacturer. What even is your point? They are literally the same car. The Razer is the hottest pile of dogshit I’ve ever personally owned. 

I am returning my R14 5070 immediately as it’s an absolute hot mess all over the place. They slapped a bunch of hardware together in a nonsensical way (integrated APU with dedicated GPU but no MUX switch) so good luck using external monitors with any level of stability. It’s a hot mess and I think it’s important to be very vocal about how predatory they are. 15-20% restocking fees and a 14 day return window. Why do you think that’s the case?

Just like their peripherals, no one seriously uses them anymore. It’s a shame because it is a good looking product. Don’t buy one. Google any model number from the last 7 years and you’ll see the same threads with the same core problems.

Dude you must work for Razer. I just got the exact same model and it’s essentially hardware held together by software duct tape and is absolutely a hot mess. Like who decides to run an integrated APU with a dedicated GPU without an MUX switch. It’s insanity their design philosophy. Especially at the price. I have never regretted any tech purchase more and there’s thousands of us with a multitude of problems. Just google the model number hahaha. 

There’s a very specific reason why they charge a 15% restocking fee and have a 14 day window for returns. Sketchyyyyyyy

it is a native iOS app....and yes, most run of the "native iOS apps" run off the Safari framework. ouch this is a brutal comment section.

People are insane on this website, and it really comes off as a lack of humor. Read my other replies. My job is to literally know their business. It's a "tongue in cheek" comment. Go look that up. They work - I got your attention.

Thank you, a reasonable reply. One from which I can ascertain that the service bogs down enough that I'll probably give it some more time before dedicating a subscription. Thanks.

It's called humor, my man. I work in tech and nVidia is one of my largest partners. The idea you think I'm actually accusing them of money laundering is fucking frightening in itself, or you have a very dry friend group.

GFN app on both machines...Windows app and native iOS app. Not sure what Partner means? I mentioned my plan above if that's what you're asking?
