For what it's worth, Nvidia's drivers have always sucked pretty bad, going back to the RIVA TNT2.

Compared to AMD's drivers, and ATI's before that, they have always been far and away superior. AFAICT, AMD still can't do drivers, but at least we have the option of FOSS drivers which work on Linux. There are no Nvidia drivers worth a shit on any platform today, except for CUDA.

But yes, they should make it clear about which price will never go up!

Since the consumer only cares about the amount they pay, any reasonable person would understand that's the only number actually being discussed. Amazon should simply not commit fraud, and AGs should simply prosecute when they do. But they're not in the business of protecting our interests, which we know because they almost never prosecute wage theft (which exceeds all other theft combined.)

Disney is the dumbest of manipulators. They find a trigger and they push it, and when they see it working they make it their whole identity and just keep pushing it. When baby-yoda-we-didn't-know-was-named-grogu-yet used a force power for the first time it was neato because of the reveal. But after that it's just too convenient. This is a problem star wars had always had. Force powers become easier or harder to use when it's necessary for the plot. Problem is, the modern writers aren't smart enough to figure out how to work it out, and whoever's deciding what makes it into the scripts is a poor gatekeeper.

Indeed, anyone who can write a headline like that should be prohibited from posting content for a year.

This being Slashdot, I presume they'll be promoted to head editor instead.

This site has really just become a massive trolling operation. They just troll us for engagement.

There's a very high likelihood (Amazon shenanigans or not - there is inflation to think about!)

No there is not. A price is a price. If the price goes up because of inflation, that price still went up when they promised it wouldn't. The problem wasn't inflation, it was a promise they had no intention of keeping.

Because Nvidia can't write a Linux driver worth a fuck to save their lives.

I have two Zen3 PCs, a desktop with Nvidia graphics and a MiniPC which of course has AMD graphics. The MiniPC is flawless. The desktop has issues resuming from suspend — occasionally gives no graphics, switching to a VT sometimes works, sometimes restarting X will graphics working again but sometimes not, suspend with a graphics-heavy application running and come back and it's usually hung and graphics won't work correctly until a full reboot, etc.

If your use case involves Nvidia and Linux and it's not headless, you've got a bad plan.

For most PC-based operating systems, you can find the files on the internet archive. It may take you as long to search for them as to download them, because the files were so small in many cases. I've run NeXTSTEP in some emulator, can't remember which, it wasn't difficult and it worked reliably. I don't see the appeal of doing more than poking at it briefly if you're not running it on real hardware, but there it is. I think I ran it in QEMU/KVM with one of the older hardware models.
