    Belly crawling anonymous troll dude, one day later it is now known that my comment was exactly correct. Now go slither back to your hole.

    Obstruction is still very much in play. It was obstruction that brought down Nixon. And need I point out that this is not Mueller's report, rather this is Trump's hired gun's spin of Mueller's report. Let's see what Mueller has to say about that when Congress subpoenas him.

    Obvious troll mod with agenda is obvious.

    You underestimate the control they still have. Think about it: who in the world could confront Bill Gates over any substantive Microsoft issue (for example, CEO succession) without being summarily evicted from any relationship with Microsoft?

  6. Companies do get to lie a lot if they are that way inclined, ethically. Have you ever read an Nvidia 10-Q report? Promotional does not begin to describe it.

    how is this not PC gaming?

    Linux gaming is not normally referred to as PC gaming, even when running on a PC. Actually, the hardware most likely takes the form of server blades, also not normally called PCs.

    That small handful of people who need it would get way more value from a Threadripper box, which absolutely demolishes Intel's 18 core part for less money, and has a stupidly large number of PCI lanes.

  9. Prices used to fall like that, but not any more. Maybe falls at 1/3rd of the rate of the good ol days now, and still slowing.

  10. The biggest lie they ever told is that their stock value is worth ten times annual revenue, which explains why they were willing to outbid Intel for Mellanox, because they were basically paying half price.

  11. Since they have lot of area dedicated to neural network acceleration they use a neural network to denoise

    And it looks like crap as you would expect.

    To be honest I only care that it lasts long enough for all major AAA titles to port to Linux+Vulkan, which seems to be well underway as we speak.

    Sorry, you failed to inform yourself. It actually runs on anything with a browser and will probably have standalone clients as well. No special hardware required with the possible exception of video decode. Chromecast or similar is an option. Now that you know what it actually is, feel free to hate on it. I'm not giving up my gaming PC by any stretch of the imagination but I can see why somebody else might.

    That's server-side.

    Huh? Game streaming needs nothing more than some video decode hardware on the client side, typical of any low end PC or handset. Your "serious" gamers are a small fraction of all gamers. They will keep building PCs, more power to them. That's me, to be honest. But I'm not going to deny reality, which is that the vast majority of people who play games are not "serious" and will be perfectly content with streaming, provided that they have the bandwidth and no philosophical objecting to this extreme form of DRM.

    By the way, the ping time for a streamed game where the game server runs on the lan in a data center is about the same as the ping time for any online game. So if you're using ping time as your criterion for whether a gamer is serious or not, you basically just left out all the professional gamers in the world, who only play offline in their team houses or marquee tournaments.

  15. As you wish. I believe we all understand the technical details now, though personal bias is showing in the interpretation. Lets leave it to the courts to sort out as they surely will.

    Google just gave Nvidia a huge kick in the nads by announcing AMD/Radeon as the exclusive platform for Stadia. Nvidia not invited to the party has a lot to do with banning their binary blob but I'm sure that's not the whole story.

    I am one of the most harmless people out there.

    So you think. Whereas in fact you said "this crash merely shows..." that only pilots are to blame as if the demented design of the aircraft had nothing to do with it. If everyone took that attitude then deadly design issues such as the one in question would never be corrected. The more confidently you promulgate this nonsense, the more of a hazard you are.

  20. Eh no, my opinion is based on some knowledge of the idiotic chain of design decisions that ended up with this awful, inherently unstable design.

    We're not that far apart. Here is a balanced article on the MCAS cutout issue. Apparently, 737 pilots are trained that manually pulling the yoke will cut out runaway trim, and it seemed to. But with MCAS this is not enough, and keeping the plane in the air requires correctly deriving a procedure that isn't in the manual. Two minutes to figure it out or everybody dies. I am sure that Boeing will try to blame the pilots in court as you did, but the likely outcome is that Boeing will be found to have caused this life or death test of deductive reasoning under pressure.

    Wrong, Nvidia drivers also frequently break Ubuntu. (Two million results.)

    Linus put it best: fuck Nvidia.

  25. I can't believe that a slightly different feel would throw them off that much

    Boeing spun this as making things easier for the pilots but it was really about avoiding certification of a major revision of the airfame.
