Better get to it then. I’m predicting somewhere in the next 5 years, true car ownership will be dead for new cars

Till they get rid of car ownership; then you are on the hook for damaging their car.

Spoiler alert: No!

Americans will literally do anything to not build trains

I’m confused, why didn’t you get a 1x pcie carrier board?

It would be a real shame if something bad were to happen to it.

They already tried that and got roasted for it. Oh well, time for round two

Honestly, I wish our governments would pump money and resources into open source operating systems

They do. The US NSA being of note with SE Linux.

It doesn’t mean the Linux developers have to allow them to break the license agreement

Yes. Completely agree. The problem is, from my reading, is that Nvidia violated GPL by calling GPL functions as opposed to code stealing. The problem with GPL is that it forces everything to be GPL or you’re in violation of the license. Link a GPL library, your code now has to be GPL. Called a GPL function, congratulations, your code has to be GPL. This critical fault in GPL has been brought up time and time again. Thankfully this issue is infrequently enforced. But that just means it becomes a ticking time bomb.

Let me be clear, I’m not defending Nvidia’s actions. Just that in the blame game, GNU’s toxic attitude should be called out

Please, hold all your “switch to Linux” comments

Linux is not as great a replacement as every one makes out to be. The community is hella toxic. Frequently leads to them shooting them selves in the foot. Right now they’re trying to pick a fight with Nvidia because they dared to call Linux’s sacred GPL syscalls

A valid and reasonable point. The problem is that often it spills out of it’s original intent. The “think of children” argument springs to mind

Mom! Mom! Can I have the credit card. A Skibidi Toilet game dropped

The problem is the whole “give an inch, they take a mile.” We don’t know what rights this may take away from us in the future. So in the now, always question

Billet Labs have spoken out about this (GN shows YT comment they made on the LMG vedio). They are not being very vocal about this. GN shows a video of items LMG has on display to be sold at the auction. You can clearly see the GPU water block on the table. Everything GN reported on is public record, including LMG responses. Nothing GN said is speculative. The video is just a report on public facts. Contacting LMG is superfluous.

Calling out BS doesn’t make you the bad guy. GN made it quiet clear, that point of the video was not for drama but help LMG do better for the sake of the industry and the consumer.

I’m not on team LMG or team GN. I’m on team a larger company has no right to hurt a smaller company because they don’t think their product has merit.

there are some larger issues around a recent review of a gpu heatsink.

Worse than that. LMG may have killed the startup behind the GPU water block. They sold off their one and only functioning prototype, despite being asked to return it before they sold it. This could result in the block being cloned by a competitor

Fuck you Linus. Your actions and your company’s actions might have resulted in the death of startup because you didn’t like the product and think people shouldn’t buy it. You don’t get to just apologize and give some money out and think that makes it okay. You should be horrified that something like this could happened. You should be bending your self over backwards, doing everything you can do to ensure that this doesn’t happen again. Instead you put out this dumb shit

Oh boy I bet China is having a rough time of it. Can’t for Russian clan wars to start. Going to make China shit their pants.

Guys we swear this time is different. We are totally going to stick with it

Keyword could. Monopolies do no one any good. See Twitter and Reddit. I would rather roll the dice, then stick with Monopolies

He asked for a plea deal. The prosecutors laughed and said “No.” They have an open and shut case against Trump. He is screwed
