Wish all the companies I bought from called me a zombie from the abyss 🥰
This is not the first time Malibal made an appearance.
Last time I heard about them, they shafted the CoreBoot people then also banned the several countries from doing business with them.
Malibal is legitimately insane.

This is so hilariously unhinged. Fun starts at “Geographical Restrictions”
Lmao, they prohibit anyone using any Google device or service, any Apple device or service and any (active) Reddit user.
Hey, at least they promote Lemmy!

If they have the ability to accurately detect/enforce any of that, I’d be way more impressed with their fingerprinting techniques than any of the hardware they’re selling
Google apple and reddit must have really pissed them off to include this in their terms.
Most of this is because of some drama where they tried to port coreboot by lowballing some coreboot agencies who eventually told him to fuck off
Well that was a crazy read. Never seen a company act this way before. Sounds like a very small operation. Unfortunately their products don’t appeal to me at all, I’d much rather buy a Framework.
Fortunately
finally, the official laptop of schizophrenia
Need to install templeOS on it
First I thougt its just a prank by a bored social media intern, but it looks like the whole company is built on this insane absurd communication. It was a hilarious read :D
how the hell are they still in business lmao
The whole company is just the one guy. He obviously has mental health issues.
It makes me sad that you had to spend so much time with this topic. But thank you for publishing it ❤️
Oh no I’m not the person who runs the blog. I just saw it posted on the Tumblr Linux community and wanted to repost it here. Happy to share it ofc! 😄
Now, I would love to know more about who’s behind MALIBAL, and what’s happening within the - probably, single-person - company. However, I have not found any information about that; if you have any, please feel free to contact me.
sorry did the author not come across the companies own about page?
https://www.malibal.com/features/about-us/
lol thats neat, malibal is based directly across the street from the palms casino in vegas.
😂watch me get all of DC banned for that emoji
That “about” page is fucking wild. They spend like half the page sucking themselves off over how great of a job they did designing their own logo, and then the other half telling the user the proper way to reference the company and its products. I really want to spend some time on the live chat breaking all the rules, like not capitalizing every letter of their name…
Yeah, they’re batshit
Lmao theres gotta be a timeline in which Malibal ships to the DPRK and ONLY the DPRK
I kind of like the utter insanity that seems to be their norm. Not going to buy anything from them but still.
I like how they take a moral stance against Apple and Google, but then proudly display Boeing and the US Air Force as customers.
Accessed the website using Chrome, on a Google Pixel, routed through a VPN exiting from Colorado.
Was looking for specifically an AMD laptop. WHAT NOW MALIBAL
No soup for you!
But I notice that they don’t say they’ll ban everyone from Feddit…?
So, maybe there’s some hope for them yet…
That company is probably owned by This guy.
Yet another micro-celebrity whose 3 section wikipedia page has one third of it dedicated to “Sexual misconduct allegations”
For the record Veitch is just a
comedianalleged rapist with absolutely no affiliation with MALIBAL. MALIBAL is run by Matthew Plott as listed here on their site.
Wait Nicco Loves Linux isn’t it that KDE dev?
Skikk is a clevo reseller too. Those laptops are very nice. They do however sound like a jet engine when the game starts. But I just turn the volume up higher and then I don’t hear it anymore.
