This hurts to read because of how badly written it is. Do you not read what you've written?

Yeah, they're batshit

That’s the wildest company that I’ve ever seen

Fortunately

For the record Veitch is just a comedian alleged rapist with absolutely no affiliation with MALIBAL. MALIBAL is run by Matthew Plott as listed here on their site.

Now, I would love to know more about who's behind MALIBAL, and what's happening within the - probably, single-person - company. However, I have not found any information about that; if you have any, please feel free to contact me.

sorry did the author not come across the companies own about page?

As a KDE person, the random potshot at KDE for absolutely no reason is what got me lol.

That's cool

Site doesn't load

Accessed the website using Chrome, on a Google Pixel, routed through a VPN exiting from Colorado.

Was looking for specifically an AMD laptop. WHAT NOW MALIBAL

Another scam company like framework trying to charge exorbitant fees for computers without dedicated GPUs.

Don't be fooled by the viral marketing/useful idiots, guys. Just go with the product that's the best deal for you.

Need to install templeOS on it

Most of this is because of some drama where they tried to port coreboot by lowballing some coreboot agencies who eventually told him to fuck off

The one guy running it is clearly some teen grifter who learned about dropshipping and web dev from AI

That "about" page is fucking wild. They spend like half the page sucking themselves off over how great of a job they did designing their own logo, and then the other half telling the user the proper way to reference the company and its products. I really want to spend some time on the live chat breaking all the rules, like not capitalizing every letter of their name...

wow havent seen anything this moody in a long while

Well, like all the attitude of Terry without the genius to back it up. The "about" pages and stuff just read like your typical "One superior genius started this company" grift myth.

Perfectly readable white text on a black background on my devices. The problem is on your end.
