Yeah, I would be pissed...Though, some devices should just not be shipped assembled.

From the post:

>Broken PCIe fingers are becoming a frustrating trend among Nvidia's latest flagship graphics cards based on its RTX 5090 Founders Edition design. Computer technician NorthridgeFix on YouTube published a video detailing the story of one of his customers who suffered such bad luck on not just any high-end RTX Blackwell GPU, but Nvidia's crazy-expensive $10,000 RTX Pro 6000 workstation graphics card. According to the video, the card snapped under its own weight during transit after the unfortunate owner (a tech YouTuber with 40 million subscribers, apparently) didn't uninstall it before moving it.

Yeah, I used tweezers or something for that. Hilariously enough, my bro also found himself in a similar situation around that time when he tried to build himself a PC while in the military, his case was way worse because he flattened almost all the pins and some broke off. Somehow, some miracle guy there fixed it up for him and it just worked.
