Gigabyte decided to follow Asus suit...

...and switched to making crap

The last two motherboards that I bought are neither GB nor ASUS.

The previous 2 were Gigabyte. One of them has issues suspending and waking up in Linux, as well as a network adapter problem - it may disappear from the system after reboot from Windows into Linux or after Linux wakeup from suspend. Another one was defective to a degree where applications were closing with errors and system went into BSOD every so often, increasingly often.

GB had audacity to send me a completely dead, non-working motherboard for an RMA replacement, similarly to what Asus had done - they returned me the defective motherboard without doing any repairs. The defect is still there - if Windows startup was interrupted, it will not boot again until DVI connector of the on-board graphics was disconnected and system rebooted and allowed to complete the POST w/o anything connected to DVI.

Thus no more Asus or Gigabyte products for me - enough!

Entire world has gone mad

Entire world has gone mad

Over the last few years I have been trying to contact the developers of the so-called 'open source' projects with the bug reports and important feature requests.

If you have been following this blog, you should have known that response have been non-existing or abusive, perhaps because the bug reports have exposed utter lack of testing and common sense in the developers.

The last drop is the sorting in Open Office that is driving me mad: even if the column's cells contain nothing but digits and formatting is set to Number, OO still sorts as text, i.e. 100, 1000, 110, 1500, 200...

Are the OO developers for real? I would have been fired after 2-3 bugs like that made it into a formal QA. Apparently 'open source community' does not care. No wonder, they have no formal policies as to quality and there is no one overseeing their 'work' to weed out horrible developers. This is hopeless.
