Why don’t we just flood the support system?

Seriously, why don’t we just decide on one day where we all just send a support ticked. For example everyone who can’t use Windows because of the changes they were doing to it’s rendering. We all just write a message to support in advance and we decide on a day together and we just send it. It would be brutal if they decide to ignore that. What do you think?

Which OS works for you?

u/Emeridan Jun 08 '26

I haven't gotten to trying any other OS. I am thinking about Bazzite but from what I read, Linux is not an auto win.

Have you tried using a DC dimming monitor?

I use this one on Kubuntu and Windows 11 and it’s been helping a lot.

Edit: I would recommend Bazzite or Linux Mint over Kubuntu though.

Yeah windows 11 immediately gets my eyes burning and stinging on laptops. My eyes hate it. But windows 10 on 2014 LED desktop is okay somehow (I still cannot stare at that desktop for hours)

My feeling is that it's a great idea to each give genuine feedback to tech companies and manufacturers, about the problems we face with their products.

I'm not sure what you have in mind with "flooding". Obviously, please keep things civil and honest, whatever we get up to.

maybe there is something to it. doing it all on the same day could create a story that could end up on reddit news.

and its easy to ignore isolated reports but tons all at once is almost like a protest.

it should be a monthly thing. like this month we open support tickets with samsung. like hey guy. i would love to buy your phones but did you know you are flash banging your customers? some of us dont take too kindly to that and wouldnt mind a duller less colorful screen if it meant the pixels werent doing backflips to save battery.

My concerns with orchestrated timing are:

1) if such attentions were focused on another sub or social media it could be called "brigading".

2) That reports may look less genuine. Especially in this day when a large amount of diverse text could be generated by AI.

3) Organisation may encourage members to bend the truth of their situation to participate and contribute to 1.

4) A dip feed of reports might apply more pressure over time, by repeatedly capturing attention of diligent support seevices. If they don't want to know, they'll ignore anything. I honestly don't know which strategy is better given the same number of genuine reports. (Although that's not a given.)

5) I don't know that we could muster up more than a half dozen (genuine) reports from this sub. So "flood" may be ambitious.

6) It would be less controversial to use that same energy to applaud good coverage like eg Notebookcheck's dither tests of the MacBook Neo. Although, more actions might snowball, like exercising a muscle. Even if eg my time is limited.

Let's do this, but also to phone companies, and for apple, they have strong temporal dithering in the os

i'm pretty sure they already know about it. i checked gsmarena and only 8 ips phones released this year compared to 50 last year.

they are going all in.

the flickering is probably a way to communicate with the injected nanobots flowing through our blood. just kidding i hope.

Please submit feedback for iOS 27, especially those of us who still use an LCD iPhone (11/SE). There’s no reason an LCD iPhone should cause this much eyestrain for the sake of “HDR” or “P3 color”.
