"A program people get" is considerably different than "you can turn it off because it will be on by default maybe not even with your knowledge" ... at least IMO

Me: 600 TBW on my ssd is more than plenty, I would have to write a TB every 3 days for years before I hit that Me in 2 years firing up Samsung Magican: what do you mean I used up 70% of the write cycles!!!?$@#!

That's the loaded question, can it be "simply" turned off? Especially if you are not aware of this "feature". Then when will the other shoe drop and this "feature" is required to be on in order for your os (whatever future version it may be) to operate properly?

Silly hoomans use water for drinking and putting on dirt, we will confiscate it all to keep data centers cool

So what is the legal ramifications of AI generated anything? The company that owns the AI source code owns it? Or the person who entered the parameters?

I'm guessing manufactures want you to pay the price they determine for memory, including having pricing tiers based on memory, similar to phones. Plus having forced obsolescence is a great motivator for future sales. Hell I have a dirt cheap laptop with a really old cpu, But having the...

Are they doing work in nuclear fusion? I heard they basically gave a company "working on fusion", Helion(?), a bunch of money to be supplied with XX kWh of fusion energy by (some date). Basically they're helping fund the company, but they themselves are not doing any work on anything related...

Ok 23h2 just installed for me, so I got one more install cycle to remember to disable it.

1. It may mean something outside of the US. 2. Not everyone in the US knows that they really don't mean anything, and perhaps they were covering their butts because the damaged the card and want to make it look they never opened it. 3. They do actually mean something, just not what they say, it...

The point had nothing to do with the legality, or lack of them, but to say that their presence doesnt mean something wasnt tampered with

Yeah it is odd, I know the guy said that the it wasn't the reason for the warranty denial, and yeah the RMA company should have opened it up and the look of that silicon just exploded like that would have been the warranty denial right there. But it's not like those little "warranty...

WTF was with that first GPU, it was all fractured like someone hit the card with a hammer or something. Is there any reasonable way why that could happen other than that?

Ironically the real, fictitious Stargate program that was super top secret and opened wormholes all over the galaxy didnt cost anywhere near that much

sure we'll go with the "compression" being that "glue" that makes it stick to your desk ;)

But you can see docking at pornhub I'm guessing!

This was the "see it really was a 4080 and not just a renamed 4070 to try and get more money out of it!" maneuver?

I mean everything is made in China these days, so is it any less likely to hey backdoored by a unknown product versus a known brand?

I mean are those formats just dying? Or is the place where you are buying them just what is changing? I feel like back in the day Target was simply that place to impulse by a movie that I see was released, but something like the Harry Potter collection I'm looking for that sweet deal that...

5201 Steven's Creek is the new location spot

At the very least you can camp out overnight when you want to try and get the next Nvidia video card!

Yup, not too long ago government tells them to stop selling to China, now"this is why! Missiles, bombs and cruelty tp puppies!!"

Could be gas powered... just saying. They would have even less scruples about polluting the atmosphere

And a guy in a black body stocking

They have exactly one store in California, in Tustin(?) which is in southern California near Disneyland or so, which is a 7+hour drive one way so effectively not available to me

I know this applies to very few [H] people, but those of us who remember the glory days of not only a Microcenter but also a Fry's in close proximity, well the grumbling about Microcenter deals is now coming to an end. They're supposed to be opening up in Santa Clara "late 2024" so yippee...

and of course these institutions are in no way held accountable for this. If someone grafittis my house, ie not my fault, the city will absolutely start fining me for blight but identities being stolen, huge inconveniences for people, possible loss of money, nah not our problem but here's...

Is single player realistic? Or is this one that is absolute meant for multiplayer?

Wow e-boner achieved, good thing there isn't a Microcenter near me, might have a hard time convincing the wife that "yeah that's the same monitor that has always been there"

shut up and enjoy your shiny toy, now with 6g and pastel glass colors for the trim

Dont get me wrong, I love the idea which would almost eliminate any nvme ssd woes, I just don't like the idea of spending $100 per space as a premium to have more ssd usage. Granted I realize I'm not the target audience for this but still. Oh well I still got 3 free m.2 slots anyways in case...

Almost 3k for the ability to plug in more SSDs though... and you need an extra x16 slot

Translation: there's nothing worth stealing now.

240 TBW guarantee... I kid I kid, I do see its about 1000 full write cycles I do wonder if this is "one drive" or a series of drives crammed into one enclosure

Isn't that the true with most fast food these days? Ok maybe the size of a big mac didnt change but prices are through the roof. Hell I won't eat KFC unless I go through their mobile order because they actually have a reasonably priced bucket if chicken for $10 instead of $20

Not having data count against a data cap that you have I feel is fundamentally different then prioritizing data. One allows Xfinity streaming shows without hitting your cap while Netflix does count against the cap, the other is giving priority to Xfinity while slowing down Netflix

Fortunately it did cause backlash because said people paying are upset they dont get a perk that they bought, and people who dont are upset that it takes forever to get on rides that usually had 10 minute waits at most. The thing is the backlash isn't going to stop people buying because they...

Manufactures use EARTHSHAKE against consumers. EARTHSHAKE is super effective

And look how great Lighning Lane at Disney parks are, people get to pay to have priority, but so many want priority that no one actually gets priority, so you got two groups getting screwed, those who dont pay more and end up waiting forever, and those who do pay more but they arent really...

So price of computing goods about to spike?
