Nothing wrong with the name. Remember it is called a GPU because they took a general purpose CPU and ripped out everything not needed for graphics processing. If you rip out the graphics output part of a GPU you get something else, maybe TPU. Each descendant is more specialized.

Remember math co-processors you could plug in right beside the CPU on the motherboard? We are back to that except it's one general purpose CPU and 32 specialized co-processors.

By his actions of discontinuing business with Roku we are now discussing and bringing his opinion to light, it looks like his decision was the right one to me. Obviously most people do not hold this kind of influence and are best to remain quiet if they want to keep food on the table.

If you have a strong opinion and your actions don't ruin your life financially, I would say there is a moral obligation even if it is just so can sleep better at night.

So not rewarding someone that acts directly against your beliefs is a bad precedent? No wonder theft and shoplifting run rampant. We are a society with no backbone.

I guess as long as you can make money and their check clears it doesn't matter what anyone does; that's not about moral high ground, that is about having no morals.

Otherwise known as brainwashed. Or put another way, we now see so many advertisements everywhere we mentally filter them out - making those same advertisements useless to those creating them. And the situation of useless ads is all the advertisers' fault; couldn't happen to a better crowd.

You mean lack of Inertia. Akin to laziness. It works now, why bother to actually fix it?

The reason society has not fixed any of the problem is that there is a layer of obfuscation between the people and criminals. That layer is built into every credit card fee, banking lack of interest rate, and retail price. Society appears willing to pay the cost of criminals continuing to interfere with the general goings on of society. Until that changes through an actual catastrophe nothing will change.

It can be faked, but it greatly reduces the attack vector - Kim Bumblefuck from Nowhereville on the other side of the planet doesn't have a chance against my proposed return to actual security involving a human present themselves to another human in a physical location.
