Oh good, a new scam from the OEMs.

Laptop advertised with 1.1tb of storage*

Fuck this timeline.

* 64gb local, 1tb of OneDrive space.

@phs That's even worse than purposely conflating hard drive space and RAM

@phs oh man that's low, especially since you have the filter set to 1TB of hard drive size.

When I saw that, my first thought was, "Looks like the weird binary or decimal conversion issue rears its ugly head yet again", but that's not the case at all here.

@phs Pretty sure that'd be considered fraud by the ACCC. I'd suggest reporting it to them.
@duncan_bayne Would be nice if that was the case. I don't have the spoons to do that.
@phs DM me a link, I'll do it. Makes my blood boil.

@phs Yipes, that is all kinds of disgusting.

@phs Ok, looks like now we have /s: RAM storage, HDD, SSD and Microsoft storages. What an improvement!

Seriously, they are thinking that people are fools? 

@evgandr There are plenty of people that will fall for it 😞
