FanlessTech exposed ASUS for using “fake copper” in their ROG Crosshair motherboards — copper-colored heatsinks that aren’t actually copper.
George Saoulidis (@georgecursor) replied with the perfect historical reference: “Ea Nasir strikes again” — a callback to the infamous Mesopotamian merchant who, around 1750 BCE, sold substandard copper and got a customer complaint letter about it. That tablet? It’s literally one of the oldest known customer complaints in human history.
The “LIVE EA-NASIR REACTION” meme imagines the ancient copper scammer reacting in real-time to modern tech companies pulling the same stunt 4,000 years later. Some things never change — shoddy copper, bad business practices, and timely complaints.
Historical Context: Ea-Nasir was a merchant from Ur (ancient Mesopotamia, modern-day Iraq). A cuneiform tablet sent to him by a dissatisfied customer named Nanni is one of the oldest surviving examples of a written complaint, preserved on a clay tablet now housed in the British Museum.
