Dear Mr President, a Playstation is more than just a distraction

Bitmob's Juan Letona argues; President Obama in a speech to the graduating underclass of Hampton University, sparred a few words that shocked loyal techies and gamers. The president bashed on the Playstations and iPads. Instead of crying foul and murmuring "from my dead cold hands" lets look at some key topics.

Irony is thick from all angles, but let us start with Obama's words from the graduation. First, are his words being taken out of context? The president was speaking at a graduation giving a commencement speech. These speeches often resort to be an inspirational message as the graduates embark on a new journey in their new path of life. We attend every year, is it only now we pay attention to what speaker says?

the author of this article is an imbecile and i wont go into details about it because it's easy to decipher president Obamas comment about video games being a distraction.

You feel he is wrong, but you just call him a name and say you won't say why because it is obvious. Those are the words of someone with no argument or ability to hold their own in a civilized discussion.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
