  1. Netflix with ads is the most absurd crap I've ever seen I still can't believe it's a thing regardless of the T-Mobile situation. I'm am so absolutely sick and disgusted with companies shoving ads down our throats every freaking minute. I remember the good ol days of the internet where paying for something got you a service with no advertising and licences to software were forever. Id pay hundreds of dollars a month to never see ads on anything ever again.
  2. Imagine buying a $1500 card and needing to worry about how the cable is bent. Then everyone gaslights you into thinking it's normal so you spend more on a right angle adapter then you find out that can malfunction as well. I love Nvidia products but at what point do people wake up and force a recall of the GPU itself
  3. Yeah at this point I just accept it as a fact all my info is floating online somewhere. The have I been pwnd website reads like a book now instead of what used to be a few sentences.
  4. How will we know if we are affected? Also anyone know where in the account can you check if your social is recorded somewhere. I can't remember if I had to give them one when I setup my account. I don't think so .
  5. I don't understand why the dude won't change his number like bro how are you going to tell if anyone important is calling you anyway if you're getting a call every single minute
  6. This is absurd we need a YouTube competitor now. Atleast I can use Nvidia AI to upscale on my desktop and through my Nvidia shield TV. wonder if they are doing more compression on YouTube TV as well. Obviously that's a paid service but they used to have some of the highest bitrate streams for cable and lately I've noticed much lower quality streams on some devices.
  7. You mean like the Nvidia shield TV https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/shield/support/shield-tv/ai-upscaling/ It's actually stunningly good I can't stand to watch older low res content on other devices anymore
  8. People in my family did it I was practically begging them not to they all thought it would be great fun now look where we are! Its 100x worse than getting your personal identity stolen it's literally your DNA. It honestly makes me mad that companiesike this are legally allowed to even operate
  9. Summary As AI gains popularity so does the need for compute performance and Nvidia wants to transition to that marketplace Quotes My thoughts I saw this coming from a mile away every since the 10 series they have stopped being competitive price wise for normal users. Which to be honest why should they the money is still there without trying. Businesses will pay way more than even the consumers buying a 4090 and AI is eating GPUs faster than the cryptocurrency hype train and this time it's businesses with deep pockets forking over the cash.

  10. I find it amusing that the king of patent skirting and design trolling has this happen to them. it's literally no different than what dbrand does when they blatantly ripped off the Nintendo switch designs and stick them on a skin with another very similar name.
  11. Not it's absurdity no one company should be able to patent a freaking X-ray of a device even if they throw some stupid easter eggs in the photo. That would be like someone making a sticker that had a picture of the inside of a watch on it throwing some stupid catch phrases in the picture and then trying to sue because someone turned the picture into a poster. Are we really going to allow precedent for allowing companies to patent something this stupid.
  12. I thought the cooling system they built for it was freaking awesome. I was watching the unveiling live it was amazing seeing what happens when Microsoft gives the engineers a blank check with no bounds to build something.
  13. Honestly this is great buying cars as the dealer is such a stupid outdated practice anyway. If dealers are no longer negotiating then I have no incentive to step foot in one might as well buy a car from my couch. Tesla has been doing it for years.
  14. Except now they are being challenged on multiple fronts of the legalities of locking down a messaging service to their OS. This will only make them look worse. I think it's more than a gimmick from nothing it's an actual very usable feature for cross platform messaging.
  15. And this is why Nvidia doesn't give a crap about the consumer market anymore. As soon as they are having to try and sell consumers grade GPUs they will bow out entirely. The only reason it's still viable for them is they have enough of a performance lead not to need to pay for development nor change their pricing structure. If one generation flops they will pull it entirely. Nvidia has secured the enterprise sector so that's all they really need.
  16. A garage door is not a monopoly the stupid things are literally the simplest things to control even if the things are encrypted you could just straight up buy those smart button pushers
  17. I'm sorry but if you're running home assistant and then complaining a cloud service is shutdown rendering it useless then YOU MISSED THE ENTIRE PLOTLINE! Seriously someone running home assistant is usually done because they want to control their own cloud. Every single smart device I buy I can run on my home Network and the company could disappear off the face of the planet and my smart devices would still work. Does that limit my choices and increase cost exponentially absolutely but it's worth it.
  18. Honestly I would bet that's part of the strategy. "See we gave you 2025 support"
  19. Who is Masimo? Is that a serious question they are a huge company with patents far and wide for these type of sensors. I highly doubt Apple wins this one and it really could be the end of Apple watches.
  20. Did you watch the video that's the entire point no one actually cares about driver level stuff. Average people who buy cards (not you and me on these type of tech forums) look at what Nvidia is putting into their hardware and go why would I buy AMD when it doesn't have half the features Nvidia does on their hardware. And if someone does by Nvidia they can still use whatever AMD software is released if it's worth using. Go look at the steam hardware survey AMD didn't even get a single GPU in the top 10 usage.
  21. Your joking right? Nvidia is so far ahead AMD and Intel aren't even playing in the same weight class when it comes to frame generation just look at how good ray tracing reconstruction is. Even hardware unboxed had a hard time coming up with reasons to actually buy AMD if you want to use a full featured product with good frame gen technology
  22. Yes because hardware at the level of a single piece of the hardware chain is so optimized now I actually think we are running into software efficiency issues for PCs compared to consoles. This is because PCs can't create a system that talks to all the hardware together in the most efficient ways.
