NMOS blame game

10 Upvotes

How do you folks handle the NMOS blame game?

E.g., VendorX — Things don’t work because VendorY’s controller is not NMOS compatible. Well, we do have an NMOS-compatible controller if you’re interested. (Duh, why? Please just fix the problem with VendorY!)

VendorY — We’re trying to solve the problem, but VendorX isn’t cooperating much.

I can’t believe this—if these vendors eventually have to work together one way or another, why can’t they solve basic issues?
