ROG Enemy

Every piece of hardware I've bought from ASUS, be it GPU or MB, the have always failed just barely out of warranty. Dogshit company I decided never again to buy from. Feelin pretty good about that decision.

Yup, I don't trust these companies and that's why I started to build my own self-hosted GNNS tracker for my car.

They should have the proceeds counted as proceeds of crime and forfeiture to the profits on top of the fine

If someone broke into your house and stole your stuff youd be mad. Licenses do the same thing now.

Have you seen northwestrepair Gigabyte scam - ukposts.info/have/v-deo/bZKKnn6ZiGeKy4k.html

None of what you’re saying will do anything with this company. Here is what I did to get a major company to resolve a problem. I paid a company out of ukraine to post on Facebook, IG and other sites every 10 minutes negative comments about my problem with said company. It took a few days, the company turned off comments on their facebook page. I did not let up! After three days a representative from the company contacted me to resolve the issue. I let the representative know that I was just finalizing my second phase of attack, this was going to be a call center out of India that was going to flood their 800 line day in and day out until they resolve my problem. Yes I was willing to spend some money to get my problem resolved. Major companies hate negative posts online, they go through great lengths to remove anything negative Email campaigns also work, flood their inbox with thousands of the same emails requesting the problem to be resolved.

"(although I suspect you likely realise this)" I've been in or near customer service/sales for quite a long time. There is a nearly infinite list of possible things you could say in an email. This is easily in the bottom 10%.

*Cough* get a Steam Deck *Cough*

So yeah, I was originally undecided about whether I should buy the ROG Ally or the Steam Deck... not anymore 😂

How much for the black plushie

This is why I miss EVGA. Also, I would contact the credit card company for recourse if in a similar situation.

Steve even mentioned it in his video, that this is not the first time ASUS does shady stuff. Last year they did something similar and some PR spokesperson said they will look into it... Seems like that didn't go to well. Yeah, I mean, ASUS was such a great company in the 00s. Actually I feel kind of heartbroken by this behavior. Have upgraded some stuff last year: A mainboard, GPU and even a new Laptop from them. That stuff scored well and was good value, so I got it... And now, I just hope that stuff doesn't die any time soon. Dealing with them seems to be a handful.

NYC wants new taxes from your Texas business as well

The new ROG phone even with the shiny specs, compared to the earlier ROG Phones ie. 5 with built in DAC. They made my decision easy; to just move on.

Yeah Asus kinda notorious in my country as well, especially on laptop and phone (ROG Phone, too many trouble less than a year usage), whereas on pc part less complain since the distributor handle the RMA not asus directly. Even their official reseller (if you a regullar customer) when you want to buy asus laptop/phone would gave you a warning to prepare yoursef if you ever need to use the ASUS warranty service, yup that bad.

I had an Asus motherboard from long ago and I'm the BIOS somehow it could download the update and install it. It was awesome. Now my higher quality new board is back to a flash drive. How do you lose the best thing ever?

youtube wants to remember it is a global platform. fuck its woke ass usa based polatics

Lol. The Atari 2600 joysticks didn't last the life of the console. We went though a few back in the dark ages😂

im sure makersmuse will squash this

Thank you so much Louis you are the best. I had one case of A2179 with no shorts on none of the two CD3217. The current draw was 0.312A at 5V and boot looping. I replaced the EEPROM for the second chip and for my surprise i got the 20V on the connector of that IC. Then i replaced the another IC and EUREKA! both connectors were getting the 20V. Your video was a great base to do the analysis and troubleshooting. Thanks a lot bro , THUMBS UP :D

I want to point out again that for a EULA to be valid, it has to appear BEFORE the purchase is made, it must be clear at the point of sale that those are the terms of the sale. But this is not where it appears. Often it appears after purchase. Most often for games it appears inside of the game itself after you've already launched it. This is a "shrink-wrap" agreement which is already illegal. Don't even read it, it's a waste of your time.

3:17 just a minor correction, but ASUS didn't suggest anyone open the Ally and remove the internal SSD, that was Steve's suggestion. Your logic is solid, but extend it a little further: ASUS whilst clearly shady, are not going to require your average consumer (in order to submit an RMA) to watch tear down videos to learn how to remove the internal SSD on what is effectively a consumer product/mass market toy.

I need people like Rossman running my country

Abandon Asus... Embrace Lenovo

N64 joysticks had drift issues or at least the Madcatz ones did.

After learning all the problems with the $$$ Nintendo Switch, I bought an Odroid Go Super that runs Batocera, and am so happy I did. It was a lot cheaper and I have total control over the content. Will it run the latest games? No. Are there thousands of older games that are just as fun that it will run? Yes definitely!

Hall effect sensors cost cents. Why are we still in freaking 2024 using carbon film potentiometer joysticks that wear out and drift?

You can't spell ASUS without sus

You are the goat

I have Asperger's, I would never talk like that guy to someone, especially not for someone using a few minuscule words, the guy seems paranoid to be honest and that's truly sad, might be autistic burnout which is hard to deal with if it's severe enough, I know that all too well myself. I know it's an old video and I hope things are better now but I needed to say it, being on the spectrum is no excuse to treat others badly!

2:45 Mostly because of two reasons. Just poor quality of sticks because of cheaper parts and such but still could get stick drift, and number two, they use a completely different way for the sticks which was used in controllers like the Dreamcast, it used magnets instead of the method they use now which for the ones that use magnets basically never get stick drift ever. So yeah, in short, planned obsolesce. Its one of those areas they can upcharge since for almost all console manufactures they often make almost no money on the console, if not even *lose* money on it. People often buy many different controllers just for one console. Happened a lot with even the Xbox 360 and most notably now the Switch and PlayStation 4.

In my experience many N64-joysticks died, not as in experience ghosting but as in becoming very loose.

Im not an ASUS fan, but you are being a bit misleading here. They still warranty repaired the joystick and the unreported memory stick slot. The problem was with their extremely misleading communication with the customer.

Shame I was gonna get one. I'll just stick to my jailbroken switch

What a shame. Asus used to sell complete and utter garbage that I would never touch, but recently seemed to be putting out some decent products I was beginning to consider buying, but not anymore.

That could only be worse if they destroyed one or more of the parts beyond repair or in a way that would require a professional repair. Just how above the law does someone need to think they are before they send you back your device disassembled like this? I know if I sent something in and got it back disassembled for some BS reason I would be very upset and on the phone with a lawyer after the minimum of a few days it would take for me not to be such a grouch! Does Asus do this to a lot of people? They should all form a class action and sue Asus into complete bankruptcy!

N64 controllers were not that sturdy, pretty much anything with that tech wears out over time. Controllers before that didn't have a stick, rather a dpad. Those last quite a bit longer. There's actually a video on how speed runners of Mario 64 keep wearing out controllers and the prices went crazy, with some independent efforts to produce new controllers. Apparently this particular thing isn't easy! PS and xbox controllers seem to do better. Not immortal, but they last some time w/o bad drift. Disassembling a product the way this video describes is not mere fraud. It's fraud + property damage.

the n64 joysticks ALL became wobbly with normal use

Louis never owned an Atari 5200. The analog sticks drifted all the time. Thankfully, they used easily-sourced pots and were a breeze to open and repair.

Great. Now I'm side-eyeing my ASUS ROG PC...

I often wonder how we got to this point

Huh, interesting. I was so close to grabbing a ROG Ally. Now I'm not. Thanks for the heads up, I'll just get a Steam Deck.

Paid for Suse Linux which you COULD get free. That’s awesome supporting something you love

I've been looking into my options for getting a new motherboard & I had a few Asus board in consideration; them pulling this stunt was the final straw to cutting them off the list. I refuse.

n64 controller joysticks drift all the time :P

Write zeroes to drive Write ones to drive Repeat as desired (Re)install your favored OS Wow. No viruses.

Apple products have always been junk.

They also used the play of not actually addressing the issue that they sent it in for but creating an entire SEPARATE issue that Gamers Nexus had NEVER had.

Speaking of old controllers, I still have PS1/PSX OG DualShock 1 and it does not have joystick drift, and it never will. Why ? Cuz it "calibrates" itself on the fly. It was designed this way. It is build like a tank. Analogue sticks ary so flimsy due to being heavily use, but it never ever had drift (and again, never will). Nowadays we have this "miracle" hall effect joysticks and yet the only one who makes controllers with hall effect are 3rd party companies. Sony & MS don't use them even in their top of the line, highly overpriced most expensive gamepads. And of course it is done for us to buy new ones over & over. So, here is a live hack for you: Buy old & used PSX Dual Shock and a USB adapter. There. It will last forever.
