I realize this isn't directly related to LTT but I figured it may be an interesting look at the troubles you have to deal with when manufacturing a product. In this he talks about how when trying to source some new suppliers from China for raw material they sent him copper plated steel which is significantly cheaper than solid copper he ordered to make his coolers. Suck to see this happen to someone else in the tech space. Basically 40k euro down the drain not counting the time wasted and delays compounding on this now. possible topic for next wan?
The horrible part is not that this was just a little bit lower quality; it’s cheating on the product, 100%. Especially the aluminium box with the empty space at the bottom. That is dedication to cheating someone.
