@irene I do it for the free shit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-
@irene you only have to register it for extended warranty, the regular warranty still applies
-
@irene why would it be? You’re not entitled to it, it’s something manufacturers offer at their own discretion.
-
@irene but why? The manufacturer gives you something extra for your email address basically. If that’s a scam so are all services that require registration.
-
@irene wanted to see if they offer anything by registering the MoBo… but fuck 'em and google chrome too
-
@cervantes01 No.

@Condor is this your worst nightmare?

@wowotek thanks for tagging me mate.. and hell yes! May that abomination of daveluper burn in the deepest pits of hell!!! 😡

My guess is that MSI and Google have an arrangement. MSI promises that all registrations happen with Chrome, so the personal data that gets submitted therein is also sent to Google through Chrome's spying features, and MSI makes a small handful of money.
I don't think this has anything at all to do with lazy developers. -
@bahua Hard to tell with the available evidence. I see both happen all the time. Good point though. Either paranoia or disgruntled elitism rules the day. Hard to tell which is better.

@MrCSharp Wow! Well, I know I'm not buying MSI ever again. I thought Acer was bad enough (my Predator has a ton of shovelware on it, including an app that just SLOWS DOWN the network to "Optimize" it), but Chrome locked up my Home Theater PC one night. Decided it would update itself at 8:00pm, and sucked enough RAM, CPU, and network bandwidth to make Netflix stutter so bad I removed Chrome. No option I could see to change WHEN it would do an update. Outta here!

@irene That's what I normally do, although this laptop has all these extra weird buttons I didn't want to disable.
I do usually find a manual HD wipe, reformat from DVD, and manual rebuild makes for a very stable system.

You know what? Shove a big fat horse dildo up your ass.. I'm not registering this piece of shit and if I find the dev behind this, I will shove the entire MoBo up their ass without lube just to watch them scream in pain and agony.
