Wish all the companies I bought from called me a zombie from the abyss 🥰

wow havent seen anything this moody in a long while
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
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?
https://www.malibal.com/features/about-us/
lol thats neat, malibal is based directly across the street from the palms casino in vegas.
😂watch me get all of DC banned for that emoji
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…
finally, the official laptop of schizophrenia
Need to install templeOS on it
That’s the wildest company that I’ve ever seen
As a KDE person, the random potshot at KDE for absolutely no reason is what got me lol.
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.
Yeah, they’re batshit
First I thougt its just a prank by a bored social media intern, but it looks like the whole company is built on this insane absurd communication. It was a hilarious read :D
how the hell are they still in business lmao

This is so hilariously unhinged. Fun starts at “Geographical Restrictions”
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

Hey, at least they promote Lemmy!
Lmao, they prohibit anyone using any Google device or service, any Apple device or service and any (active) Reddit user.
As i understand it, the OEM business has razor thin margins as it is. This seems like an aggressively unsustainable business practice, to the point that it’s making me wonder what their game is…
Site doesn’t load
Edit: after several attempts, it did load. But its fucking dark grey font on a black background. Can’t read this shit. Here’s the actual website
This is not the first time Malibal made an appearance.
Last time I heard about them, they shafted the CoreBoot people then also banned the several countries from doing business with them.
Malibal is legitimately insane.
deleted by creator
That company is probably owned by This guy.
Yet another micro-celebrity whose 3 section wikipedia page has one third of it dedicated to “Sexual misconduct allegations”
For the record Veitch is just a
comedianalleged rapist with absolutely no affiliation with MALIBAL. MALIBAL is run by Matthew Plott as listed here on their site.
Well that was a crazy read. Never seen a company act this way before. Sounds like a very small operation. Unfortunately their products don’t appeal to me at all, I’d much rather buy a Framework.
Fortunately
What in the fuck?
It just kept going. Calling customers “zombies”… bannung people from using chrome to access website, banning “regular reddit users”… banning particular countries for pettt grudges with like, a few individuals???
I thought the article would end there. It just kept goooooooooinnnnggggggg
Probably just shitty ass company. honestly their act like ass to everyone tell me is bis red flag company
This hurts to read because of how badly written it is. Do you not read what you’ve written?
