    Why not though?

    Ah, yes this definitely more like parents buying alcohol for their kids and not parents buying r-rate movies/games for their kids. It definitely won't end up like in China where people just buy accounts from account sellers. If the crux of the matter relies on the parents not make accounts for the kids, why not just let the parents decide in the first place, without these laws that impact everyone else too.

    Ah, yes the one set up a year ago in order to combat the previous and possibly ongoing violations by US companies.

    So now I'm going to have to give my personal information to whatever social media site that still wants to operate in Florida? I guess companies are just gonna move out of Florida instead.

    Is YouTube not a viable alternative? I see Vtuber Youtube streams all the time, probably more than gaming streams on Youtube. Although that is probably due to the algorithm catering to me. I don't use Twitch much, but the layouts seem pretty similar.

    I wouldn't get your hopes up on that.

    I occasionally browse his vids and he makes decent teardowns of phones of a pretty wide variety (price point, brand, etc.).

    The FE models were available for a couple hours this morning on Nvidia's website and Best Buy for MSRP but they're sold out too now. Same story with some models 40-100$ over MSRP being available. This is in the continental US.

    Eh, they made decent stuff before their push to smart stuff too. All my aunts in China have had their Haier washing machines for like 2 decades so far not replacing them. Its mostly the useless push to "smart" stuff and planned obsolescence that affects everyone. You get what you pay for really.

    That seems really nice. In my region in the US though, its pretty much MSRP except for sales periods. Maybe Amazon will be 50$ cheaper occasionally, but the Apple certified refurbished are still cheaper. Even better if you can find Apple certified refurbished on Amazon since its like your normal 10-15% discount + 50 or 100$ off. But again, thats hit or miss and usually only on select models. Only place I can find 15% off consistently is from Apple.

    I've looked around local retailers and their online stores but they have generally the same prices as Apple, unless its during peak discount time periods like black fridya or something else. I just find that the Apple refurb store generally is the most consistently discounted with the most consistent quality. I'm sure there are better deals out there but it takes a lot more time and effort to find imo.

    Apple certified refurbished products are so nice its like 10-15% discount for almost brand new. I've gotten my older parents 2 m2 macs direct from Apple refurbished and Amazon, which was also Apple certified refurbished and my parents couldn't tell until I told them.

    Perhaps the original boards aren't an easy size to work with so they take the actual GPU die off and put it in custom board that better fits their needs? That's a good question though, I'm just speculating. Seems like a lot of effort.

    I think the point is to have it be easily installable in server form factors. There's nothing wrong with the stock coolers, they're just too big for putting them in the normal server farms and AI training box sizes.

    I am interested in how this plays out. What will the licensing fees look like and how they would be implemented in different video games.
