AMD 6950 1GB vs 2GB was identical GPU die, identical memory bus, identical performance unless VRAM buffer is exceeded. It's the situation where having the same model number with different VRAM capacity at the end is perfectly fine.

AMD has a tradition of doing it the right way, the way that is clear, transparent and not misleading. Nvidia has a tradition of doing it the wrong way, in secret as much as possible and does nothing to avoid market confusion.

No we have established that it's both, it's always been misleading and confusing and it should never be acceptable. Ever. You can change VRAM capacity and not effect performance and in that situation and that situation only is it acceptable to carry the same model number/name i.e. RX 480 4GB vs RX 480 8GB.
 
I am treating the situation exactly as it should be treated. The RTX 3060 8GB was released to market without any public announcement, no notification to reviewers, no review samples and NO UPDATE TO OFFCIAL PRODUCT PAGES. Right now none of the official RTX 3060 product pages and performance information show nor differentiate these model variants dispite the significant difference in performance.
 
How were you, or anyone else, supposed to know what the difference actually is? Unacceptable.
 
And what on earth are you arguing, it's never ever acceptable for a consumer to receive a worse product unknowingly. If a consumer is buying an RTX 3060 and expecting an RTX 3060 then they MUST receive an RTX 3060 and nothing less. Not some weird off cast product that carries the same model name but isn't actually the same product offering the same performance.
 
Cake and eat it too? Yes, yes I can. Name it RTX 3050 Ti and then there is no problem, no issue, nothing to debate and it would even be a fantastic value product.
 
Why must you or anyone else make such bad arguments and support such bad business practices?

It's not an industry standard when only 1 company been repeating this "tradition" in the past 10 years, more like Nvidia standard.
HD6000 series was like 12 years ago. Try to come up with something more recent.

Welp, looks like my Chris Reeve Superman Trilogy and my Dawn/Rise/War Apes Trilogy box sets aren't here yet.  So i've improvised for Movie Night.

 
three for a quid at my local Charity Shop.  Can't say fairer than that.

Some models do have higher fail rate, it seems it's been much better in recent years.
 
I have a few 1TB, 2TB, and 2 4TB, all Seagate, haven't had issues yet. **Touch wood**

New GPU , new keyboard and 2 HHD (8TB).
 
 

100% agree, seeing how they were expecting to be profitable after the first year of ; buying 133 stores, setting up a distribution chain from the ground up, building a whole customer base, etc...
 
Not sure who runs Target now, but whoever was in charge back in 2014-2015 was a complete moron.

For decades, yes.
 
We also got Target for 2 years, but the Target story is the most idiotic corporate story ; they opened 133 stores almost all at once (bought the rental agreement of a failing retailer), but they didn't have any distribution network, had half empty stores for weeks after opening, and then after the first 18 months, decided to close because they weren't profitable yet ...

New phones and plans (all in Canadian dollars, sorry no pics of the phones!)
 
Me ; Google Pixel 7 ($216 = 9$/m for 24m) - 30GB for $35/m
Wife ; iPhone 13 ($480 = 20/m for 24m) - 30GB for $30/m
2 Walmart gift cards totaling $600
 
Previous plans were garbage and we were happy to get those plans (we used to pay $25/m for 2.5GB, plans didn't include phones)

got myself some decent ANC buds.  I love the Funk 35s i have but they're a super cheap set that only last a couple of hours before needing a charge at most.
 

 
If you can't stand the earwax and hair that's included with this picture just revel in the further fact that I've been wearing them another 3 hours since then too

If you check Backblaze yearly reports, Seagate has higher % of failed drives, best really remains HGST enterprise solutions, but I don't have that kind of money, and it's still a worse case scenario in regards to Backblaze, I'm never going to use my drives as hard as they do.
 
Also, at work we have had a lot of NAS and Seagate doesn't have more problems than others, though my work isn't as intensive as Backblaze and we have a MUCH smaller sample size.
 
Yup ... that's why I always buy my drives in pair now (regardless of brand), I just mirror them and make sure the important stuff has off-site backups.

The WAN show is missing a bit of context, Eufy has facial recognition software that runs on the camera themselves (some people online are falsely saying the uploads to the Eufy servers is for the facial recognition, this isn't true), BUT, they do this for the notifications since the camera themselves can't really do that without some support (unless you're self-hosting, I don't see how cameras and doorbells could send you SMS or email notifications by themselves).
 
With that said, the fact that the user can't delete those images, and that you're being fingerprinted and will be recognized by other Eufy devices is HIGHLY sketchy to say the least, and that's why I have a hard time believing they're GDPR compliant.
