While the whole exchange must've sucked for them, I've found their reaction extremely amusing at times, especially the carpet banning for life of everyone within a country/state to the offending party. But hey, that'll definitely show AMD how to hire those coreboot developers

I feel dumber having read that.

Banning a whole country because you disliked a company?

Dealing with stuff that's 'almost working' is often harder than starting from scratch; ask any tradesperson.

They also apparently cannot get their heads around the fact that people might give you a discount if you advertise their brand. Ad-supported pricing has been around for a long time; it's not some voodoo.

To add: "almost working" is still "not working" but with extra hope. There's no easy solution for "almost working" because if there was, the people would have made that easy fix to get it working. No, "almost working" is code for "we fucked around with it a lot and don't know how to get it working or how to start over."
