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.

Oh, forgot to link the dry density for you: here you go. 341kcal/100g. Aka 3,41kcal/g.

Which, like I said, should be obvious, since they're almost entirely carbs (~4kcal/g) and protein (~4kcal/g), and they're, as noted, dry (12-16% moisture). It would be quite the trick indeed to get something that is dry and and is almost entirely comprised of things that are 4kcal/g to be 1,38kcal/g! ;)

Just in case you need help:

Your calculation: 195g (dry weight) × 1.38 kcal/g = 269 calories per pound of cooked beans.
Correction: Because you used 1.38 kcal/g (the cooked density) as if it were the dry density, you essentially diluted the calories twice.
The Actual Math: 195g of dry beans * 3.4 kcal/g (actual dry density) = 663 kcal.

When those 195g of dry beans absorb water to weigh 454g (1 pound), they still contain those same 663 calories (since water has zero calories).

Canned beans are ALREADY COOKED. *facepalm*. You can eat them straight out of the can.

which is waaaay more than I would want to eat at a sitting.

I can't think of a single ingredient - any ingredient - that I would want to eat exclusively as my diet, so this is a really stupid argument.
