  1. The FTC decision was a good one. It allowed subscriptions to be easily cancelled at will. The panel of three judges decided it wasn't good for corporate interests. At least that is how I read it. They were clearly doing what was best for corporate interests. My original point was that government is not always bad, and judges are often more liberal, more left and more corrupt.
  2. You are mistaken or have been provided with wrong information. The vast majority of Federal Judges are extreme left and totally out of touch with mainstream Americans. Most are abject failures that legislate from the bench based on personal and political bias and breach their duty of upholding the law. You are probably confusing them with Supreme Court Justices. Neither group have the power or authority to create or modify codified law. Their sworn duty is to apply the law.
  3. This is an interesting one. Good video and very unflattering for NVIDIA. Steve talks about how liberal and empowering Intel is with AIB partners and how NVIDIA is a control freak in stark contrast.
  4. If you want to see the soldering stuff you can start from the beginning. The mod killed the PSU.
  5. A glimpse of what the future holds for a world filled with AI. Those that have jumped on the bandwagon are artificially intelligent (aka stupid).
  6. Pompous, over-confident and dismissive. Like the story of the tortoise and the hare. They felt they didn't need to try, and for a long time they didn't. I can see NVIDIA experiencing the same bump in the road. Their arrogance is truly stupefying, and matched only by their greed and lack of regard for the people that purchase their products. They are reaching a point of being so expensive that smart people won't be able find enough value in their products to justify the cost. I'm already leaning that way pretty hard. Not because I like the alternative better. I don't. But, I also don't like being screwed like a blow-up doll stuffed in the bedroom closet of a serial rapist.
  7. It's true. How long it will last nobody knows. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Intel found out. I think NVIDIA is whole lot more dishonest and sketchy than Intel ever thought about being. None of these big tech companies are worthy of our trust or confidence. They'll all screw us over if given an opportunity. If it is not predatory pricing and shady dealings, shoddy support and warranty service, it is stealing our information, stockpiling it insecurely, sharing it with "partners" and creating vulnerabilities that place us all at risk for identity theft with data breaches.
  8. The human race has many wicked people. We are born wicked and have to learn how to behave and be trained to be the opposite of wicked. Many are taught wrong from birth. Some are not taught at all and are incapable of even recognizing how corrupt they are. Governments are composed of many corrupt individuals and collectively reflect a prevailing tendency to do selfish and wicked things more than good things. But for that predisposition of human beings to do the wrong thing and act in wicked ways I would say that anarchy is the better way. But, we are affected enough by wicked people that anarchy will not work. The wicked are not a minority. Businesses are run much like governments, but their leaders are mostly appointed rather than selected by the people their leadership affects, and held less accountable for their wickedness.
  9. The part you are missing and what is frequently maliciously misreported by the media is the fact that appointed Federal JUDGES are the problem even more than the government. They try to reinvent and distort or negate the law based on personal bias rather than enforcing the law as written. Most of them are extreme left lunatics. If you really pay attention it was the Federal Trade Commission (government) rules that the libiotic judge tossed out. I am not saying that the government is good. Nobody has a "good" government because they do not exist. But, government(s) are becoming occuppied by imbeciles like the judges. They want to mandate immorality, corruption and lawlessness. Our government was built on the concept of being of, by and for the people. That is being threatened by those that want a government that tells brainwashed zombie people what to believe, think and feel. I wouldn't say crazy, only too narrowly focused on an element that is not entirely on point. Seven or eight years, even ten, is just not good enough when a high percentage of the GPU family is still in active daily use by millions of people. It requires almost no effort to maintain drivers for the older hardware. It is largely a few lines of code in an .INF file. Most of the "features" that require newer hardware are facetiously said to be "incompatible" when the fact of the matter is the compatibility is controlled and used as an enticement to spend money. It is deliberate and self-serving, and NVIDIA is absolutely not the only company guilty of this criminal behavior. All of them do it, and all for the same reasons... none of which are in the interest of their patrons or acted on with any regard for being just. A similar example would be a conspiracy to make all new car engines with a new size and dimension of spark plugs and then, by decree, mandate the discontinuance in the manufacture of spark plugs of a historically normal dimension. Then all of the cars made before the introduction of the new design would become immediately obsolete because they cannot be maintained for lack of parts. The only option is to purchase a new car.
  10. AI is going to ruin everything for the world. The whole thing is driven by educated idiots. They tend to ruin anything and everything they touch. That's just who they are and how they operate. More nefarious nonsense and self-serving manipulation from the Green Goblin. And, while they are making it hard to buy their desirable GPUs their next driver will be the last one for 10-series. So, they are deliberately overpricing their new crap and ending driver support for those that were not willing to pay absurd prices for an upgrade. Bastards.
  11. Absurdity is an appropriate description of things as they are now. Prices are absurd. Marketing is absurd, and product designs are absurd. When your target market has too many idiots it ruins things for everyone. This garbage exists because there is a market for garbage.
