On one hand it’s sad to see all these people laid off for Asus’s failures.
But on the other hand I saw this coming miles away. You can’t just sell mobos that kill expensive processors, and provide a warranty breaking solution. (which didn’t work btw) And then be surprised that people are upset with you for basically trapping them with losses and a broken product.
Asus did this to themselves, and it’s a shame their employees take the hit for what was clearly a failure in management.

Is there a link where I can learn more that isn't a video? It's very late in my time zone, and I don't want to keep my wife up.

yeah it sucks to see, asus has been a good brand, afaik anyway, for a while and now they do downhill. everyone is enshittifying their product it seems.
theyve been my go to for routers for over a decade. they just work 99+% of the time for me. hopefully they turn it around. if not its another company that drove itself into the ground.
I can't imagine a single cpu problem would cause them to lay off half their cpu and phone division
If anything it would probably cause more problems to happen in the future
maybe they have been cost cutting for a while, and we're only seeing the consequences now.
that is exactly what that whole motherboard fiasco looked like to me, not wanting to spend the money to properly engineer and test it.
Was Asus the only one with issues? I know theirs was the most egregious, and then their "solution" was a kick in the balls
That was partly AMD's fault too. Steve tested a Gigabyte (IIRC) board too, but the others were able to save themselves somewhat and needed more abuse to fail. The ASUS ones had problems on top of problems.
First in pcmr community all asus products costs 20% expensive than other brands. People call it asus tax.
Second they had rough start killing amd cpus by over volting those cpu.
Third their z690 board never came with bios flashback so people didn't considered their boards when intel 13th gen came.
Their quality never improved remained same like other manufacturer while costly way higher why would someone buy their products if not a fanboi
