I'm speculating here, but pay attention to the timing of his resignation.

It wasn't after he had an affair with an alleged Chinese spy - Though we may find the "affair" part of that distasteful, it's two consenting adults; and the "spy" part is both unproven and, even if true, Nvidia could potentially spin it as Jensen somehow being a victim. Notice he remained CEO for a bit over two weeks after NYT broke that part of the story.

Then we learned he was banging a subordinate. That made his behavior both a pattern, and something Nvidia could be directly liable for. He resigned the next day.

/ Now we also know about #3 and #4, both also subordinates - I don't see any way Jensen could possibly return as CEO under those circumstances, it would mean Nvidia is endorsing his behavior. Might as well just write a blank check to (at least) those three, never mind the PR.

It's funny - I was just going to ignore you at first, because clearly you have nothing to say beyond irrelevant ad-hominems.

Then I took a look at your comment history. Just... Wow. You've certainly mastered "noisy little dog" energy, haven't you?

Get a personality, dude.

You misunderstand their actual raison d'etre: Serving as a counterexample to Chrome having a monopoly.

Sure, we only care about exactly one of their products, particularly since Manifest V3 made Chrome unusable on the public internet. But let's be serious, you can only do so much gratuitous fiddling with one browser before people rightly start complaining about issues as petty as themes. Mozilla, accordingly, keeps trying to find some not-quite-browser niche to make them relevant as more than Google's cover story.

To be clear, I agree with you completely in spirit - Don't change what's not broken. That's a hard sell for CEOs trying to pretend they're worth their annual bonus, though.

WTF does that mean? I'm by no stretch pretending she's innocent, but I'm curious how they phrased "Sorry for kidnapping you for almost a year on the Orange Turd's say-so, but don't you dare do absolutely nothing we can prove ever again! And don't come back because, um, reasons!"

Singapore isn't exactly known for being light on crime. If they had anything supporting the allegations, they'd already have hung her.

But at least China has pledged to address the problem.

China pledges and promises all sorts of stuff....

They are basically one of the worlds greatest and most prolific liars too.....

Go over there and try to start a business (with them by force)....and see just how far promises made go for you.

Fair enough - I should probably have taken a more "congrats, you're one of today's lucky 10,000" approach.

It's the guy on the left.

You did check the link I provided, right?

Nobody's physically relocating servers beyond the mom-n-pop scale; well, at least not until the much later "rebuild" phase, if that's what you meant. I work for nobody special, for example, and the most important servers little ol' me controls are replicated across three geographically-distributed data centers with an RPO of 20 seconds (more like 2-3 in practice).

The per-site problem with drone strikes is no different than any other DR scenario; where it gets ugly is correlation. We tend to assume disasters will be independent and localized, in exactly the way an intentional attack on infrastructure very much is not. But there's simply no realistic way to plan for every alternative site being simultaneously compromised - That's a matter for underwriters, not geeks. Or rather, the "solution" is trivial, but ridiculously expensive and wasteful... "Oh the fools, if only they built it with 6001 hulls! When will they learn?"

Probably nothing, the same thing that stopped Obama from secretly seizing two months' worth of telephone records covering 20 phones lines at the Associated Press. Oh, you goldfish brained folks forgot about that one didn't you? Nothing new under the sun.

Can we please not do that shit?

It was almost certainly Dave Philipps and Matthew Cole's 20250905 NYT article about a failed 2019 attempt by SEAL Team 6 to bug Best Leader when they unwisely chose to blow a random fishing vessel out of the water. Unsurprisingly, that wasn't a great way to stay hidden during what was supposed to be the most covert of ops.

It tells us an awfully lot of us hate this world so much we're willing to burn our precious little PTO to indulge our escapist fantasies. Not crime specifically, just anything other than the soul-killing 9-to-5 we get to grind for 40+ years or until we're too broken to keep feeding the machine.

To your secondary point - At least until things get bad enough we're willing to take the "torches and pitchforks" approach, the idea of changing society is a joke. The government absolutely does not represent us or care about our interests (I'm American, but it really doesn't matter which government we're talking about). The oligarchy considers us nothing more than livestock to be managed, and the delusion of "peaceful" protest is the greatest trick they ever pulled on us.

Even here, where we theoretically have voices with global reach - Let's not delude ourselves, we're merely shouting into the void and occasionally one or two fellow void-dwellers will shout back, but that's as far as any of this really matters.

It's not "just a game", it's the closest to they'll ever get to living in a world where they don't piss away half their waking adult lives to enrich some asshole who doesn't even need that third solid gold limo. Bread and circuses indeed!

The game isn't out yet and it's somehow become woke and abandoned "its irreverent roots".
Demos and leaks are a thing in current year.
"I want everything to stay the way I imagine it forever" said everyone's 6-yo nephew. Have you never liked a band and as they get more successful their style changes? Sorry if this is your first disappointment with selling out, that's something you should learn as a teenager.
Hey man, I think my scissors cut just fine, but they should shove bluetooth or some fuzzy logic or AI into them. Not everything needs to be ever improving.
GTA V made billions of dollars with it's online component and people are whining about GTA VI having online stuff. "Why would a company who's decade long game still has 10 million weekly playerbase make their new game somethign they would enjoy?!" You know what you can do? Not buy it and not play it. GTA V was a fun single player campaign but I never played it past that. I probably won't ever play VI.
Ah yes, whining about people complaining about a game you probably won't even play. Way to really give off that, "old man yells at clouds" vibe.
WoW Forever is out, go play that!
Yeah that notorious single player franchise WoW.
Does every single thing in our lives need to a game piece in an eternal culture war? I have to imagine this very thing will be amongst the topics lambasted in the game, it's one of the few thigns still able to satirized in today's insane world.
I don't know does people complaining about a game you probably won't play really require a comment on /.? What if they declared a culture war and no one showed up?

This is the third thread I've seen today where people claimed not to know what "GTA" stands for.

Please tell us about your last 20 years living under a rock, star? My ancient gran knows what GTA is and has never played a game more hardcore than Candy Crush. Hell, even the mainstream media makes a point of blaming some random social dysfunction on GTA every couple of years. What's your secret? I want in!

The secret is to phrase questions in a way the fanboys can't interpret as disloyalty to the mothership. If you ask "How do I disable this utterly insane default setting/feature", you're getting tarred and feathered. If you instead ask "boo hoo, $feature isn't working, how do I reenable it", you'll get a dozen responses telling you the exact settings you want, and 95% of the time you can just reverse the "enable" logic to disable it.

Oddly enough, the same trick works against pretty much any fandom, though there aren't many use cases for it in non-technical fandoms.

That's an argument for better moderation, not shutting down folks doing free tech support for one of the largest companies on the planet. A company literally can't buy that kind of grass-roots support; failing to even recognize its value is a sign that better days are not ahead.

As for Apple itself - Any time a real support call starts with "let's do a factory reset", I won't be replacing the reason I need support with a replacement from the same company. Their community forum is - was - the one palliating factor making iDevices viable in the real world.
