Yep, let's not forget that they're violating the FTC rules for the Blizzard merger by firing all the CS staff too. https://qz.com/microsoft-activ...

We know that the boards were compliant because Intel won't sell chipsets to anyone who doesn't follow their rules. Hardware Unboxed was exercising extreme diligence to confirm that Intel hasn't specified which power limits they're ok with. The whole market stack is captured, which unfortunately for intel leaves them with nobody to blame but themselves.

The only way intel could escape liability for this problem would be if some of the board makers were falsifying data to pass the conditions (like VW with their DEF emissions fraud scheme), which hasn't been alleged.

That's a great car analogy because it involves a car. Here's a better one.

Ford: Buy our 500hp engines, it will allow you to drive 200mph!

Dodge: We plan to hit 210mph by using Ford's engine. We are going to run it at 50,000rpm and will be saving costs by using no radiator.

Ford: Sounds great, we will tell everyone to buy a Dodge!

Probably because of the 20 minutes of script reading. If I wanted to waste my life listening to a drone read I'd call customer service.

MSI was one of the makers pushing infinite power on all their boards and this advice is not current. I'd expect their aberrant results to be an indicator of some other configurations that are quite unreasonable.

The Chinese don't want to spend their annual salary on a phone known to fall apart just so they can look cooler than their neighbor?

As an early beta-tester (read: customer) of Ford's attempt at making a CVT transmission, please stop giving them ideas.

Article is about intel's approved rules and bios's bricking CPUs, not boards failing due to inadequate VRM's. If you had the same problem, then even after replacing the board your problem would persist, except that board likely is ewaste-by-design everything soldered on-board so you accidentally replaced the whole system.

It's the fault of the motherboard makers for using the chipsets exclusively allowed by Intel with a bios explicitly approved by Intel while following the rules drafted by Intel.

The common failure when all your decisions must be approved by some outsider is to stop doing your own oversight. Of course the board makers should have done better, but it's 1000% intel's fault for failing to use their position to actually protect their products and customers.

Putting Palestinians in Bantustans doesn't absolve Israel of apartheid. They still have literal laws that take away rights of Palestinians even with Israeli citizenship.

The case revolves around subscribers who received repeated notices but they allegedly never stopped their infringements and cox never disconnected them. This was a problem because the DMCA has language about repeat infringement, strikes, and removal/disconnection but doesn't specify what qualifies as infringement or how many strikes is too many.

The jury seemed to decide that accusations qualify as infringement, and whatever number of strikes was considered "reasonable" was largely ignored since cox allegedly didn't ever disconnect anyone and maybe wasn't even tallying how many "strikes" individual subscribers received.

To my understanding cox was following the law regarding passing on strikes/warnings to subscribers, but as the alleged infringement was temporal in nature there's nothing to takedown. It does seem that the courts just passed interpreting the extremely poorly written law onto a jury which might be the only group of people less qualified than the congresscritters who wrote it.

They're using more or less PC hardware, but the APIs are more aggressive in targeting the exact features of said hardware. That creates a problem when the same game is released on a newer platform which doesn't have those specific GPU features.

More uniformed consumers following a fad. We have had 2 superior music formats for decades - DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD. Unfortunately both of them never caught on. Blu-Ray Audio has been around for a long time as well yet because of limited support all 3 formats have remained dormant. Oh what could have been.

Apple Music is available as an android app and as a cloud streaming service from a website.

Google pays a lot of money to be set as the default search engine. That's the limit. Apple doesn't give them access to location data without a popup authorization screen.

Personally I switched my search to DuckDuckGo in settings. But should Apple make that the default for everyone? The reality is google does have better quality results. Should they sacrifice quality for privacy, or give people the choice?
