Working on a machine that BSOD’d 3-4 times a week, couldn’t find much wrong but then I saw this. An NVME drive from a company named “OEMGenuine”.
Their website 404’s, waybackmachine says it was last cached 2 years ago, and even then it was a broken Godaddy landing page.
Found in a Thinkpad purchased from Amazon, sold by a third-party reseller who “upgrades” the devices before reselling.
Machine seems just fine/stable with a credible drive in it.
What’s the craziest shady “brand” name you’ve seen in the wild?
EDIT: NEW Discovery! One of the ancient waybackmachine cached pages previously redirected to oemgenuine.NET! It’s shoddy as hell but the .net domain is still visible today! oemgenuine.net
I once had a zune that looked like a zune, used the zune software on windows to load mp3 but it was like 1/5 of the price. It was quite buggy but the og zune also was. I’m convinced it was a knockoff but it didn’t felt bad. I lost it when someone broke into my car and stole it along with a nice jacket and a rubber chicken.
Uh why would someone steal a rubber chicken?
I mean. If a person’s already broken a car window and stolen a zune, and sees a rubber chicken on the seat… wouldn’t you? Hehehe
