MSI justifies keeping people in the dark about NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series GPU wattages, despite there being up to 70 W TGP differences between RTX 3080 cards

You know after their CEO was killed by the CCP, MSI's been in terminal decline. #GameStonk

Thank you China for eroding Taiwanese culture, democracy, freedom and western values.

The CEO of computer hardware and motherboard maker MSI has died after falling from his company's headquarters in New Taipei, Taiwan.

Charles Chiang was discovered outside MSI's offices in the Zhonghe District after he plummeted from the seventh floor of the building. How and why he fell is under a police investigation though it's thought "external intervention," was not a factor, local news reports.

Chiang's body was found by employees at around 1pm on July 7, local time, after they heard the sound of the fall and rushed to his aid. He was found unresponsive, and taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.

"General Manager and Executive Mr Changjiang Shengchang passed away earlier due to personal health factors," MSI's spokespeople told local media TVBS.

Not only is this clearly BS, but it doesn't even matter. Something being "too hard" is not an excuse for not properly informing customers about what they're buying. If that were true, and it really were too difficult, then they just shouldn't sell the products at all, period. So no matter how you look at it, whether you buy their "excuse" or not, it's BS, and they're screwing their customers either out of laziness or incompetence, you pick. Just one more reason to avoid all this nonsense and buy AMD.

Apart from being a bad service to customers by not revealing the full specs of the product they're expected to purchase, it also makes no sense because that shouldn't be the case from a product design perspective. Is MSI saying they will use the same thermal design for 80watts and 120watts gpu configurations because they can't distinguish the differences?
