    GamersNexus donating to archive.org so they can keep checking how websites quietly change what they say after they’ve been called out 🤠

    Apparently I can’t watch this video with the original audio. Instead some robotic female voice speaks in my language. Some dude at youtube really thought it’s a good idea to not only make this default, but also don’t provide the option to deactivate it. And it’s probably just the beginning. I am so excited for all the unwanted AI features that will be forced down my throat in the future

      Youtube gets worse every day. You might try an alternative front-end, and you can use something like LibRedirect (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/) to automatically change youtube links to the other front-end. It works for other services too, but you can easily disable redirecting them if you don’t want that.

      It’s not perfect, but it’s an option. Good luck!

    Has NZXT always been this shady? I bought a PC from them like 5 years ago and it’s been going strong since the start. I’m sure as hell never buying one again, that’s for sure.

      They used to have a good reputation, at least a few years ago. Their stuff was a decent value. I don’t know what it’s like now, but it seems more like terrible business practices rather than poor quality products are the issue.

        Yup, and Steve said as much in the original video. They said they’ll continue to review NZXT products because they’re generally pretty good (except the RGB fan thing that caught on fire), but they refuse to accept sponsorship money because they don’t want to be associated with them.

        This is the second major issue from them, and the way they handled it is exactly the same: deny the problem until they’re forced to, and then do the bare minimum to fix it.

      It’s hard to say. They put out some great stuff that filled some genuine gaps in the market… then the whole thing with the one case happened. It’s very possible they’ve always been shady creeps and we just didn’t notice right away.
