    @JoeJoe @upsurge the company i ordered 5090 from today called me. They offered Asus TUF OC model plus 10% store credit to get it shipped in the next week. Then said might be able to alternatively swap in Gaming Trio (MSI) one. I declined those for now saying I'd think and get back in a day or so. Then I asked about the MSI Vanguard model as it was available in the last week, then not. The said they would ask about it. No ETA for Suprim.They said the company that bought them out is also now offering refund prior to the insolvency (actual chad move tbh). Current options are:
    Do nothing + get 10% credit when order is filled (no ETA)
    Take whatever card + get 10% credit when order is filled (over next week or so)
    Get a refund and buy another card from anywhere else (which will cost me an extra like 100-500)
    Get a refund and do nothing

    I am leaning towards the second option to put myself out of this.

    To be fair:
    * It is high-grade aluminium alloy. The kind that is used in military-grade pistol frames and even aircraft parts.
    * This is because of the tariffs imposed by the Trump regime on titanium imports from China and Japan, which are the world's two largest producers. Titanium parts' costs went up 30% at least across the board. Apple had no choice but to either jack up prices further or look for alternatives.

    To not be fair:
    * They will probably charge for it as if it was still made of titanium. They said it was for the sake of manufacturing ease and cost effectiveness. Translation: The price will stay the same, but the profit margin goes up higher. Yay!

    Cybershack AU confirmed that Apple will still use 8-bit 16.7 million colour displays with 60-480 Hz PWM (25% amplitude) for a few more years.

    Meanwhile... Motorola, Xiaomi, and OnePlus are using 10-bit 1.07 billion colour displays with 700+ Hz PWM (15% amplitude) on devices which cost a quarter as much, and have been doing so for a couple of years now.

    I'd honestly just get the refund and do nothing, but that's just me.

    I'll be honest, Idk if I trust them on the refund though kek. AFAIK their deal wasn't to refund orders but fulfil them and they're under no obligation to refund.

    Honestly man if refund is an option, I'd take it this instant, save yourself the hassle, it's been months since this madness began.

    I'll see what they have to say when I call tomorrow. The first two offered cards where to ship this week or next I think. I was planning on taking the Vanguard if possible. But yeah Idk.

    I know LMAO.

    I think the most impressive thing is that it's not a 1:1 100% win bot, because she can still **** up and fail like in error. xD

    Oh, the suprim is in stock in every store except this one LMAO. But it's $5200 cheapest vs $4700 I paid. Vanguard cheapest is $4800 which is basically same as suprim minus one heat pipe. So like I said, if I can get Vanguard within like 2 weeks I'll leave. But if Vanguard is a no, I will just decide yes or no depending on confirmation of refund policy again. I am so hesitant because of the whole bankruptcy, they aren't obliged to give a refund.

    Like, I actually think the company that took over is good (not my friend). They absolutely had no obligation to fulfil any previous orders or give any refunds. So if it's within reason, then I would like to give them my business of completing the order. But yeah, I also need to do what works best. How many other companies would you lose the money on? A lot.
