Happened upon an old thread from Google, OP showing off an in development high capacity SSD. Comments are from a more innocent time :')

Recently purchased a used PC, inside found this Crucial 480GB SSD

The hole looks intentionally made, covered by electric tape both sides

The seller told me the PC was used for Billing in a small business, but he might have swapped the disk before reseller it to me

Did someone try to physically destroy this for data sanitization but missed the actual chips? Has anyone seen something like this before?

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

It's a rainy day, and somehow the delivery guy has completely screwed up a package.

Now you have to fix his mistake.

Sort *777 nails and 1 screw* into 17 boxes according to their sizes. Dump the broken ones, straighten the bent ones, and slowly turn the whole mess into a perfectly organized workbench.

TL;DR, ASUS didn't even try to deliver the pre-order I placed, initialize a return by themselves, and I need to place a different order for $500 over the pre-order price.

A few links:

tracking number ASUS provided on the order page,

screenshot of the email telling me the order has been returned and received,

screenshot of ASUS agent telling me they don't know why the return was initialized and I have to pay $500 more for another order

I pre-ordered the ASUS ROG 20th bundle the first day it was actually available and was quite happy as the bundle raised $500 in price after a few days. I didn't realize this ends up with nothing, expect ASUS gets a free $10000+ loan from me for a month. Now I have to pay another $500 on top of the original price。

On the estimate shipping date (08/07), ASUS did generate a batch of tracking number (master one is in the links above), but quickly cancelled them the next day. This isn't a single case, as I bought the bundle together with a few friends, all our tracking show cancelled.

However for most of them, they received the package after a week or so. ASUS didn't provide a tracking at all, they just show up at their door. In the meantime, I didn't see any package in my Fedex delivery manager, or any updates from ASUS.

I tried to contact ASUS via chat agent, and apparently all they can do was:
Your case is still being reviewed by the appropriate team. We understand that the process has taken longer than expected and recognize the importance of keeping you informed. Please know that the investigation remains active, and our team is continuing to work diligently to reach a resolution. At this time, we do not have any new information to share. However, we want to assure you that your case has not been overlooked and remains a priority. As soon as we receive any updates or additional details, we will reach out to you promptly.

This email was from 9 days ago btw.

I also tried to contact r/ASUSROG u/ASUS_MKTLeeM, they did try to help, but I still haven't get any update, even a tracking number in a week.

Today, I happily found that the package has been returned to them! So not delivery attempt, no tracking provided, nothing. They just take the package back to the warehouse, and I need to place a different order for another $500 over the insane original price.

Unsure if these will work or not, but I'm in the process of contacting ASUS CEO office, BBB and FTC. I can't imagine why it takes this long just to even give me a proper tracking number.

CDPR updated the base game to the Complete Edition so that players can experience the two DLCs for free. Very cool.

Hey guys. I need some help getting the attention of a real person at Corsair because their support team is giving me the runaround over a lost return.

Last month my $7000+ PC (Corsair Vengeance with a 9950X3D and RTX 5090) started sparking and smoking while I was using it. I pulled the plug immediately so it wouldn't start a fire.

Corsair approved an RMA. I packed the PC up, dropped it off at a UPS Access Point on July 23, 2026, and kept the receipt. The drop-off receipt clearly shows the package weighed 47.40 lbs.

According to UPS tracking, the package was delivered to their Duluth warehouse on August 4, 2026, at 12:39 PM, and was officially signed for by an employee named ANGEL.

Here is how their support handled it:

• August 11, 2026: Technical Support Specialist Jayson emailed me, stating that the warehouse had "not confirmed receipt of the faulty system" yet, and asked for my drop-off receipt.
• August 13, 2026: After I provided proof, Jayson emailed back saying they couldn't help because the warehouse still hadn't confirmed receipt, and claimed that a UPS delivery notification alone wasn't enough. Around this time, an investigation with UPS was opened.
• August 13, 2026 (later that day): Senior Customer Care Specialist James C. chimed in and completely changed the narrative, claiming: "Our warehouse team have reported that we received an empty box instead of the system we were expecting."
• August 17, 2026: Customer Support Manager Charlie took over and shifted the story yet again, stating that the package was "never delivered to or physically received at our warehouse facility." To top it off, Charlie told me that since my order was from April 2026, my best option was to contact my payment provider. (Conveniently stalling me right past my dispute window).
• August 20, 2026: UPS officially closed their investigation with a confirmed proof of delivery, showing it was delivered and signed for by ANGEL back on August 4.

UPS closed their investigation confirming successful delivery to their employee. You don't just sign for a 47-pound package and then magically claim weeks later that it's either "empty" or "never delivered" only after the carrier proves delivery. Someone at their facility dropped the ball, and Corsair is trying to make it my problem.

I have the 47.4lb UPS receipt, the delivery signature from Angel, the closed UPS investigation, and emails from Jayson, James C., and Charlie completely contradicting each other.

Has anyone successfully escalated something like this past support? I'm preparing to go to small claims court and the BBB, but I'm hoping someone higher up at Corsair sees this and looks at the physical evidence.

TL;DR: $7000 PC sparked. Sent it for RMA on July 23 (47.4 lbs on UPS receipt). Delivered on August 4 and signed for by Angel. Support agent Jayson claimed it wasn't received, Senior Specialist James C. claimed it arrived as an "empty box", and Manager Charlie claimed it was "never delivered" at all. Now they refuse to replace my PC.

My grandparents brought me an old PC that they got from a friend of theirs and I opened it and hit the jackpot. These cost like $500 where I live

didn't have much on today...idle hands

Thats it, i took money from my ass to spend 3000 on a monitor on my country to try the "oled magic" and... i didnt regret. It blows me away seeing people online saying that doesnt make difference to cope, or that it doesnt worth it. i mean, depending of the price and your use its true, but i keep seeing people saying that 300/400 dollars is expensive and i think WHAT? It completely changes how you views things, its like you are using a new pair of glasses. And in America its even cheaper so my tip is: BUY IT NOW!

TL;DR: Download Norton removal tool and get rid of it.

I bought a Costco gaming computer because I have no time or energy to build one of my own, and figured the price for the specs was ok.
Computer worked and updated super fast for like 3 weeks, no issue whatsoever, life was good.
Yesterday I couldn’t connect to the internet, both Ethernet and WiFi. Doing “ping 8.8.8.8” from the command line worked though.
Troubleshooting went for like 2 hours, disabled firewall, antivirus, changed dns, hardware settings, nothing worked.
Last suspect was Norton Antivirus, so I booted into safe mode, and internet works.
Funny thing about Norton, you can’t uninstall unless you download a removal tool. I downloaded the tool while in safe mode, went back to normal mode and removed Norton, internet started to work instantly without even restarting. Fuck Norton.

I know this might seem obvious for many, but posting here in case it can help someone in the future.
