Nice victim blaming. The problem is the chipsets, not the retailer.

Nice victim blaming. The problem is the chipsets, not the retailer.
- LargoLasskhyfv 6y agoGiven that the firmware contains workarounds for otherwise unstable operation, or none at all, who is at fault here? The OEM who did release an unstable product under pressure of time to market, the retailer for not having upgraded the product while it gathers dust somewhere, or the customer who orders dusty goods from whomever? I know the situation is less than satisfying, but it is how it is.

- dralley 6y agoThe problem is not the chipsets, the problem is that they had a bunch of boards with old firmware sitting in inventory and never updated them when new hardware was released. As I've already said, it is totally normal for new CPUs to require motherboard firmware updates to function.
