I can't find the exact model, but if it's anything like this, we're literally talking 1000% margins per sale.

>Built on the proven foundation of Linux, it bypasses the old, slow, bloated Windows operating system to make your PC into a blazing fast, high performance PC with a new, simple to use, operating system that has the familiar look and feel of your Windows PC.

They're really milking the idea of the bootable flash drive.

>>57654875
The logic being that an extension could potentially keep a log of what you do in inprivate mode, defeating the purpose.

Using inprivate to fap to scat porn has no benefit if your adblocker remembers your choice not to block ads on iEatShit.com so they'll let you watch videos.

I'll play Devil's Advocate here.

99% of people don't understand the idea of USB bootable OS. But a lot of people have hard drives crash, slow ass computers filled with malware; and no cash to fix either of these problems.

For $25 they can get the PC into a running state again, at least enough to get online and look at porn.

You aren't going to get a windows repair, or new hdd installed for anything close to that.

And yes, at least Win10 can refresh itself these days.

years ago /g/ GPL attacked some overpriced OEM rebranded PCs with a reskinned ubuntu sold as a computer "for the elderly". Does anyone remember what it was called?

>>57655408
I don't think anyone is really disagreeing with you, it's just that it's a very easy-to-undercut business model.

How do they expect normal people to "change the bios settings" to let it boot from start-up

Also, there is going to be a uefi issue with secure boot and all (it's more recent tho)

>>57654780

>$30 for 128GB USB drives

Fucking hell Americans have it great.

>>57655570
it's marketed to old computers, and F12 really works on most of them.
They might benefit from having a database on what machines require what.

Also if they're going to be ripping people off why not use the small thumbnail sized USBs or micro/SDs? Ain't nobody got the physical space for this shit.

>>57654661
Are they really lying or being deceitful though? for most retards that probably will double the speed of their computer, and there's no way in hell they'd be able to do that themselves if it wasnt presented to them in a plug and play format.

>>57665519
Fellow BR here , BR anon is right , you have no idea how bad it can be trust me.

So they're selling linix usbs...

anyone got a dump of what's on the stick? Would like to try it before buying

Many people ITT are saying that it is a scam and that it should be illegal, but it's actually pretty good that they're offering this product. If you created a guide about how to make a live USB and advertised it as in their publicity, literally no one would give a shit to try it; put a price tag on it and people will automatically think that it's good and want it. That's just how it works. They're providing people with a solution for their problems while creating an abstraction layer from the technical stuff involved; basically they're selling a computer that just works, you don't need to know anything just for 30 bucks. You all wish you had the vision of these people.

>>57666698
i agree
in a way this is top tier apple marketing

>>57666698
>>57667737
it targets old people and tech illiterates (apple users).

>>57667773
too bad they can't use their usb-a anymore

I hope that is the usb stick that fries anything that it gets put into.

What if the PC is set up to not boot from USB?

How do they expect tech illiterates to configure the bios?

How compatible is Linux with wifi drivers out of the box these days?

People are not going to connect a network cable to download the required driver. (Wired Ethernet is generally better supported out of the box)

>>57669983
everything but new broadcom, I think
intel woks great

also, duplicated OP's results on linux

Not really. It's going to come down to distribution channels and brand recognition.

Can you undercut them? Only if you can get the drives in enough volume to make it economically feasible.

Everyone here is just mad that they didn't think of it first.

Personally, I want to know how they deal with supporting users in configuring their systems to boot from a flash drive. How do you walk people through countless different BIOS configurations?

>>57655657
I don't understand why people don't use LibreOffice.

>>57671571
They market it for damaged or broken harddrives.

Maybe USB is already higher in the boot priority or the BIOS skips these "defective" HDDs and reaches the USB.

>>57665655
wow japanese pass user wow rare green how do i become pass anon? why u so kawaii

There's a video that explains it, but that only tells them to press F12 which doesn't work for everything.
