If ASUS staff have committed a criminal offence in the UK by lying to customers on behalf of the company they very definitely SHOULD be prosecuted. THAT is how companies and individuals learn not to commit crimes on behalf of their employer and its a very powerful deterrent to others ready or willing to do the same thing. Quietly brushing things under the carpet that are to the detriment of consumers is anti-consumer as is advocating it.
Ridiculously far fetched.
Huge companies move at a snails pace when it comes to communication.
All ASUS BETA bioses are tagged with that disclaimer, its coded in ( verified by GN )
ASUS is global - it would have taken an age for something trivial like a single webpage to have been flagged to head office in Taiwan and looked into.
Do you seriously think a person at ASUS thought 'hell yeh lets just add this disclaimer for the lols' ?
Too many people here overthinking.
The issues may have made ASUS improve communication - which is good, but deliberate to get bad press - No
