Band aid

Half day leave today, so am chilling it out now. =)

Before I start to truly chill out though, just want to get this rant out of my system.

So sure, the current latest and not so greatest product has its ups, but in terms of thermal, it's a gigantic down.

The more I learned about the base design stuff in order to save the mess it created for the customer facing end product team, the more I question the design team.

Seriously, WTF? How was that 40% increase in cooling need justified? The thermal engineer in the design team is okay with that? Ever like, consider what's the impact to the customer?

And all those questionable and dodgy changes that break so many stuff for thermal, how did they passed review. Or was the review bypassed?

And for goodness sake, the following product is following this crap? Two generations of customer complaints and probably jump ship then. Great, no thanks for making life harder for us who face the customers.

So sure, management, pushing us customer facing team for ways to salvage this mess. All band aids that patch things up a bit, nothing close to resolving the true issue.

You want to really fix this? Go talk to the design team. They need to stop living in their own dimension and be aware of the actual end product usage and customer requirements.

And be ready to continue to get customer complaints until the design team moved away from this abysmal thermal design.

Band aid will not be able to save it, just trust me on this.
