These locks are some the lock picking lawyer took almost a minute at in perfect condition with specialized tools, not a terrible position crouched in with cheap tools.
Standard tools to break them apart completely fail while a cheaper lock can just be cut open with a $5 saw. You need at least an angle grinder to cut through them, which is rather easily I admit. But at the spots I usually lock them the chance is high that they could rather cut themselves while working on the lock.
And last but not least, 100% of the time there are much easier targets and often more expensive than my bike right next to mine.

I don't understand how Nvidia charges so much for their video cards and include cheap fugly cables. It didn't used to be a problem when you just ran the cables from your power supply because generally those are sleeved and look decent, but the adapters they've been doing since the 3000 series are a joke.

Thems the ones that know how to Boom properly!
Didn't want some dense person reading your comment and trying to think they could small boom safely in their house, I wonder how many homes burn down because a kid thought he was an pyrotechnics expert.

To be honest. I get that. My comment was a year one reference. Not im a dense fool but preciate ya dumbing it down. My father was a great teacher on what boom boom shit does. He was a combat engineer for US army for 22+ years. 🤣

1600 better come with gold plated connectors and a BJ while I insert it in the case, I'm going to need even more for the 2k model.
I'm guessing we're definitely not getting what we pay for this generation.

Nothing a cash out and bankruptcy can't solve though right? Wonder how many execs are in prison for this...

Boom boom usually has a burny burny component included. Anything not boomed away gets burned, most of the boomed starts the burn.
Explosions tend to make lots of chemicals in the process and sometimes they are not always stable at room temperature. Explosions release a lot of energy and some of that is thermal so if something is flammable enough - it's gonna burny burny. Got a can of PAM that's going to rupture from the pressure? Fire. Gas lines? More fire. Refrigerator? Fire. Hairspray? Synthetic curtains? Clothes? Burny burny. After boom boom.

I mean, that's not really the best analogy, as I can guarantee those 100€ locks are completely useless at actually stopping someone seriously trying to steal the bike, and a cheaper lock would be exactly as effective (excepting some seriously bad locks that can be opened by tapping them on something metal)

If there wasn’t Igor, the PC industry would fuck around with us users much more. His knowledge and analysis capabilities are gold standard.

At this point no one should use that cable. It sucks but it looks like the Corsair cable and the ones being made by CableMods are the way to go. I'm waiting for the 4080 and if it uses a similar cable, I'll get that 90 degree cable from cable mod. Will look nicer anyways.

Or Ford's Pinto moment.
Or when Takata decided it would be a REALLY GOOD IDEA to ship claymore airbags and defective seat belts to car manufacturers around the world, guaranteeing that when the scandal breaks, they would be sued both by consumers and the car manufacturers.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takata_Corporation
> During 2013, several automakers began large recalls of vehicles due to Takata-made airbags. Reports state that the problems may have begun a decade before,[11] with the faulty airbags placed in some Honda models starting in 1998.[12]
...
> On January 4, 2019, Ford issued a recall for an additional 953,000 vehicles, including 782,384 in the United States and federalized territories and 149,652 in Canada. Affected vehicles included 2010 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX, the 2010 and 2011 Ford Ranger, the 2010 to 2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ, the 2010 and 2011 Mercury Milan, and the 2010 to 2014 Ford Mustang. This was a planned expansion of previously recalled vehicles as identified earlier by the NHTSA.[42]
...
> In June 2021, Joyson announced that they had discovered over a thousand cases where Takata had falsified seat belt safety test data.[43]

I’ve got mine bent at 90 degrees and have been playing control all week. HWInfo shows 600~ watt pull and my cable is fine. We need more data.

C4 is actually very stable, you could shoot it, smash it, and use it as a fire starter and scatter burning bricks all over without any of them actually going boom. Now hit it with a high electric current or use some det cord and that's another story.
