You're playing fast and loose with the terminology and adding extra steps that were never suggested to confuse yourself. KISS and it will all make sense.
They were also promised a specific performance at the same time as the 4GB of memory. They aren't getting it. At the least, Nvidia should have offered a driver that avoids the last half Gig of ram and a partial refund.
This isn't a car where it is well understood that top speed and maximum fuel efficiency don't happen at the same time. This is an unusual situation for a graphics card that substantially degrades it's performance, and so, it's value.
I don't get your problem with the people suing. They were promised X for Y dollars. They only got a fraction of X. That Nvidia didn't do that intentionally means it wasn't fraud (and that's good). That still leaves them owing their customers 100% of X or compensation for only giving them a fraction of X.
Specs like that are generally not interpreted as being on a best effort basis.
As for the rest, yes it is an injustice that the lawyers will get millions and the actual plaintiffs will get nearly worthless coupons.
It's only confusing if you bend over backwards to make it confusing. Given speed X, the last 0.5 Gig runs at X - (X*.8) That is, speed minus 80% of speed or as one might say in English, 80% slower.
So yes, in this case it runs at 20% of the speed of the other 3.5 GB.
Sounds like they need to see a neurologist about that. If they want to be treated as a single legal entity, I don't see why they shouldn't act like one.
Surely it would be worth looking into before accusing someone of being a bum.
Why shouldn't people complain about fraud? It is, after all, supposedly illegal.

If you had ACTUALLY read the articles, you would know that at least the 3rd one had nothing whatsoever to do with avoiding taxes. The guy could only keep so much cash in his place of business for insurance reasons, thus frequent deposits under $10,000.
If you have $9800 in cash, do you hide it in your sock drawer of deposit it?
We have had functional automated car washes much longer than we have had "the cloud". It is apparently possible.
My guess was that the devs were informed that the existing product WOULD be in the cloud by next week OR ELSE, no doubt because a suit somewhere read an article. And so it is.
It is, but trade secrets are fleeting things and hard to prove. They are also hard to seperate from simple expertise in a field.
If a new hire says "At my former employer, we did Y because X always fails", it sounds like a trade secret, but the equivilent statement "X is unlikely to work well, let's try Y" is fairly hard to prove. Even "I've never seen X work, but Y looks good" is a bit ambiguous.
It's the only way they can shake off the last tiny little bit of half-hearted judicial oversite when they want to act outside of their charter and do things that rightfully make them a domestic enemy of the people.
I'll bet that if you take the extra cost of just one of those platinum coated SD cards and apply it to the cost of the player, you can get rid of the noise problems.
On the other side, I'll bet the hospital expects the patients to pay the full bill, including the bill for treatment (successful or not) for the disease the hospital gave them. It's no wonder people are so quick to sue.
In their view, the reluctance of firms to take on new workers has instead simply increased per-hour production quotas[citation needed]. According to right-wing parties and economic commentators, the main reason why French firms avoid hiring new workers is that French employment regulations around labour flexibility make it difficult to lay off workers during a poor economic period.
You're working on the rather bad assumption that if you reduce working hours with all other things being equal, then the demand for labor will not change.
Stop right there and re-read what I wrote again. That is patently false.
That is exactly the problem. Lawn Darts went away because of hype over a very small number of freak accidents. The accidents got a lot of hype exactly because they were so unlikely. Meanwhile, other activities far more likely to cause death and injury continue because a related death or injury is no surprise and so is not really news.
Japan is in the midst of a cultural crises based on the loss of job stability and young people with no meaningful chance to enter mainstream society due to a decaying jobs situation.
Perhaps that was a bad example.
But in any event, it is only called a fallacy based on economist hand-waving. Properly that is not a fallacy at all. It is based on a straw-man claim that it requires demand for labor to be inelastic. In fact, it only requires that the reduction exceed the limited elasticity of the demand for labor.
It's not necessarily a problem. It could mean few people smoke that much (I kinda doubt that one), or it could mean having that much THC in your system makes you not want to drive or makes you realize you can't drive.
Either way, it makes it less of a problem from the practical standpoint.

IIRC quinine is still effective but because it can have worse side effects, it is a second line drug now if artemisinin fails.
But be careful, it does nothing against tigers.

What other interpretation did you have in mind?

It shouldn't matter. If AT&T is routing calls to those numbers, it can only be because they were ported. T-mobile can't NOT know about that.

And they'll still be insecure.
After the recent crypto fiasco, a NIST certification might be seen as a mark of shame.

But what will really happen is they'll switch to online fraud where the chip and pin do nothing.
You mean no more offshoring to India and China? Fat chance.
And there's the screeching...

I was reminded of one of those cracker jacks toys, A tiny spring loaded gun intended to shoot strike anywhere matches.
I know times and attitudes change, but I can't help thinking we made a wrong turn somewhere between the match gun and the end of lawn darts.
