This cannot possibly hold up in court. You cant just advertise a product and then be like "*but actually we might be lying about some or all of these things"??? What the fuck are you selling then

Sales bs has been totally disconnected from actual specs for a long time. Like shopping for hardware a few years ago, I could not rely on any sales garbage for info. I only looked for verifiable model numbers and then looked them up on linux-hardware.org because those scans list everything the Linux kernel discovered.

I know as a reseller the sales stuff tends to be useless. Like it doesn't tell me every feature or how to use the device but for really old products it ends up being the last thing around
