Cooler Master

I bought 3 products from them for my build: PSU, Heatsink, Fans

Their most expensive flagship PSU died on me in less than 8 months and the cables were too short for back routing/clean management.

Their heatsink fans busted their bearings and made a horrible clicking sound

Their fans are alright, but the cables weren't short again.

LG - because their phones are shit and let me and my family down

Sandisk - because i remember putting their shit u3 software in usb flash disks which cannot be removed. i got mad at them because one day i tried to boot from usb and that wasn't possible thanks to that permanent u3 partition.

Apple. Never have I had a laptop fuck up in so many ways as my 2009 Macbook Pro. After only 2 years, it had:

1. Completely broken disk drive
2. Dented aluminum effectively making the ethernet port a pain to get anything into
3. Dented and cracked screen
4. Failing fan
5. Failing hard disk controller. Not the disk itself, the controller that communicates with it. I could replace the HDD all day long, but I would not be able to have a machine that is not slow as molasses without replacing the fucking motherboard itself.
6. Not one, but two magsafe cords with destroyed shielding.

The lack of proper ventilation also meant that CPU often reached temperatures of 96 degrees Celsius when under a basic load.

They're fragile pieces of shit that can't last the test of time. And each year, they produce laptops with less features than the last generation just to make the damn thing thinner. I don't need a laptop that is thinner than the width of my pinkie. I need a laptop that will serve as my main and only workstation that follows me wherever I go. I don't want your USB-C crap. I don't own a single peripheral that uses it, and I don't want to buy a fucking adapter. I also don't want to use your shitty OS that you care so little about that you'll wait 6 fucking months to release a patch to a critical security vulnerability that allows for root escalation.

This, except in the case if they magically fire management and start producing good, finished games under good conditions.

Razer, bought an Xbox 360 controller from them back in the day and it literally broke within a week of light use.

Acer. Bought a cheapo IPS monitor from them that just died within a year. Sent it in to be warranty repaired(paying $25 shipping both ways) and it arrived cracked and dusty.

HP. Bought a laptop from them because it was a good deal for the specs at the time, thing overheated like a motherfucker on the regular.

Google. Just a shitty company overall, done with all their shit. I was a massive Android fanboy for a very long time(started with the HTC G1, even), but Google has went from "don't be evil" to "be as evil as possible". Android feels pretty second rate at this point to me as well.

Microsoft - Their software is garbage and hardware is over priced low quality garbage from China.
Corsair PSU - one of their power supplies couldn't output even half of it's advertised power after 2 years and ended up burning my GPU. Luckily I had a refund on the latter.
HP Printers - they work but they always give me headaches. Plus the Ink barely lasts and expensive as fuck.
Intel - For selling me a shitty locked i5 for more than 200$. Was way before Ryzen. Overall very disappointed in them.
Budget Samsung phones - family had a few of these and they are absolutely terrible for the price. Screen is low resolution, underpowered hardware, battery barely lasts. Touchwiz also being awful didn't help.
Steel series headphones - I've had 3 (THREE) Siberia V2. Two of then died within half a year (bad cord), third current one also lost sound on one channel.

Adding in more that I forgot:
Lenovo laptops - bought a somewhat cheap one. Harddrive was extremely slow and constantly in 100% use for no reason, blaming their drivers for now. Build quality was absolutely terrible, the damn thing overheated like mad, so much that the plastic around the cooling area cracked and broke. The power input also broke down and barely useable after a small drop.
Acer - Plastic everywhere, My C720 chromeook has an awful screen and the battery in it barely holds 2/3 of it's original charge after 2 years. Very disappointed

Acer...
Had to send back the same monitor 3 times because of insane coil whine which took two months each times. This happened when 24" 1920x1200 monitors were new and expensive. When I got my money back (after calling customer support at least 20 times - not exaggerating), they sent me the wrong amount of money and I had to call again.
>>
HP, Apple, EA, MSI, PNY, and Samsung phones.

Apple. Maybe MSI.

Almost everything else I can think of is too diverse. I would never buy HP computing equipment but I have an HP printer and it's lovely (or at least I haven't found anything better, not that I've looked particularly hard - educate me if I'm being an idiot). I would never buy razer keyboards/mice/anything else but razer makes pretty nice mousepads. I bought a really shitty Corsair PSU but that's my bad, apparently they also make good ones, plus I've only ever used Corsair RAM and have had no complaints. I'm not a fan of Gigabyte but I'm using a cheapo wifi/bluetooth card of theirs and no complaints other than the Chink+Engrish manual that came with it. BenQ, Acer, and Asus are all gaymer memes for just about everything (except Zowie mice apparently, but I'm not a fan of the shape and plus I can't live without a logitech hyperscroll wheel now) but their monitors are pretty nice, I may not buy from them but I'd definitely consider them. The list goes on.

>>60857143
Xiaomi has worked so well for me that I have half a household full of Xiaomi devices and accessories now.

That doesn't mean nothing ever broke, but actually everything that did break was pretty easy to replace so far. Including a smartphone screen. Bunch of flex connectors an a bit of glue, nicely made and nothing insanely non-obvious. I like that.

EVGA - gpu died for no reason (had proper cooling ~ 68 C max temps)
Also their heatsinks are just trash I got my ZOTAC gtx 1050 ti and never looked back (max 45 C temps)

HP laptops - had a dv4, that thing was so hot that sometimes I couldn't even use the trackpad

ASUS - the motherboard's CPU fan connector died for no fucking reason (I tested the other connectors such as the cpu power connector itself and they were still working)
I went with a gigabyte motherboard and will probably buy another once this one gets too old.

ATI graphics - had a 6000 series card and a 5000 series mobile card as well, both overheated like crazy.

TP-LInk - the shitties most unreliable usb wireless adapter I ever had.

Microsoft - had 2, both identical usb mouse that were complete dogshit when it comes to the materials (glossy plastic that retained a FUCKTON of filth on it because I have sweaty hands) not to mention that it wouldn't fucking work properly on almost every surface.

Samsung - devices suck overall, my notebooks overheated as well and tvs weren't that impressive (I'd take a Sony or LG monitor any day).

>Apple
Too many bad experiences. I used macs because they're nice, commercially supported UNIX like systems but recent changes and customer service made me abandon Apple a year ago. My MacBook Pro 2012,which was 4 years died and Apple tried to force me into buying a new one instead of getting it repaired for the whole process.

>Microsoft
Just a bad operating system. I like their hardware (Xbox, surface) but it feels wrong to buy them

All, incl. Mobile CPUs/GPUs and Desktop hardware.

Glorified plastic crap

A processor should do one thing : processing. It's also favorable if it does this fast. VIA fails to produce processors which process fast. Fell for them because of small factor boards.

I don't give a shit about brands, if a particular product fits my needs the best and has good reviews(from the places I trust) then I buy it. Like, I have a Samsung SSD, but their phones? Garbage.

I'm using the Ascend Mate for about 4 years daily now and its awesome. Battery life is still really good (4000mah). Screen has no scratches (i dont use a case or screen protector or anything). I dropped it so many times and the screen didnt break yet.
I never resetted it and its still quite fast.

My next phone will def. be a huawei again.

Y'know I grabbed a second hand r9 Fury to replace the 570 gtx, got it a real nice price, only 4 months old. Yeah, I sold it second day. I said to myself, damnit anon you've been here before. 2 shitty ATI / AMD gpus. This is the problem when you have an AMD fanboi as a friend. It never turns off. Nvidia is the devil, and AMD needs everyones help. Fermi burnt down a house. AMDs only ever offered the market the best.

Yeah fuck that. I should correct myself. Fuck ATI. Don't have a problem with AMD cpus.

but but just wait. Yeah, should I buy a 1060gtx now, or wait for Volta. hmm

Intel after Ivy Bridge
Samsung, but their chips are everywhere, so I don't try that hard to avoid them.
Google, but I'm keeping gmail for now because moving after ten years is hard.
I want to hate Microsoft, but the .net ecosystem has just gotten so good I just can't let go.
I want to like Apple for doing the right thing for their user's privacy and security, but they keep doing so much other shit that pisses me off it's just not worth it, and their fanbase is absurdly annoying.

I'm suspicious of a lot more brands, but reviews/price point can convince me to try again after getting burned.
