WE now know the cause, bad vapor chamber.

You get what you pay for.

Oh dear...

Imagine being this way

Yup. Not only that, but it was clarified the initial RMA refusals were done by Digital River, a company AMD outsources customer support to. Not saying that absolves them, but it apparently kept them from being able to handle things more appropriately. NBC isn't news, they just repeat stuff they see elsewhere and then don't bother to update to correct things. News publishers used to get sued for that kind of thing, which is why corrections are a thing, but apparently not anymore, or NBC just isn't worried about it. But this is definitely not "reporting."

When a company screws up and tries to cover up their mess, they just call it "normal".

It's like when Apple said coil whine from the M1 Mac Mini is "normal" so it won't be repaired.

Somehow managed to both be very late on reporting on this and still somehow miss parts of the story. Losing more and more faith in NBC to provide good reporting.
