Looking through the site and the history around it, the level of obsession, the conspiratorial thinking, the grandiose claims of "defeating" Intel -- this guy probably needs help with some mental health issues.
This is simultaneously funny and also somehow deep-down true.
No idea if it happened in this case because this is the first I've read about it, but it has always struck me that the websites of campaigners get progressively worse as the battle gets more and more difficult, and fellow campaigners drop out, leaving the diehards with both the campaign and maintaining the overly-ambitious campaign website that someone earnestly set up. There always comes a point where someone just hacks the HTML by hand.
Either way, I wish the guy peace of mind and hope someone can help him with his medical bills.
Agreed. I was plagued by the issues with the puma chipset. I couldn’t figure it out, Comcast was clueless. I eventually found the threads on dslreports, bought a non-puma modem and all the problems instantly went away.
Oh I’m sure that Comcast the company knew about a serious issue plaguing a huge percent of their modems. It’s likely they just decided to play dumb so that they didn’t have to do anything about it. A calculation was done and fixing or even acknowledging the issue would have been more expensive. So don’t even tell the front line support people about it.
I'm not sure it was "playing"... they often are actually just dumb. But most likely is that they heard the complaint, created a backlog ticket, and went on with regular feature work.
