Did this pop up again at SW?

Again today, too. Apparently Lenovo is selling FakeRAID on their "servers" now along with all of the other problems. Of course, if a machine has FakeRAID, it's not a server by any normal definition.

WOW... just wow - as if they couldn't fall any further, and they find a way...

If it's a cloud system why are you using RAID 10 with it?

I didn't build it.

Sure... Sure... Blame it on the other guys... If you can't fix it the easy way, at least you have a chance to redo it right. 🙂

Someone needs to rip that earring out of his head.

Maybe then he'll get a clue.

He wouldn't get as many views then, and that's really the point. People don't like watching someone succeed nearly so much as the utterly stupid. (See his $100,000 pc build for another one.)

Views also get him sponsorship which is where the $100,000 PC came from.

Exactly. The sponsors don't care that the content is banal. They care about the numbers of viewers and to a lesser degree their demographics.
