In most languages, length method doesn’t count the null terminator. Might result in some fun memory errors
Good thing this only uses ASCii characters, else you get into some fun discussions about UTF encoding
Why do I have to click this box? Why isn’t the default option. I just want to click on a Windows game and then install. I’m I alone on this?
Spoiler alert: No!
Americans will literally do anything to not build trains
Obligatory, mutable global variables are evil.
It would be a real shame if something bad were to happen to it.
They already tried that and got roasted for it. Oh well, time for round two
Honestly, I wish our governments would pump money and resources into open source operating systems
They do. The US NSA being of note with SE Linux.
It doesn’t mean the Linux developers have to allow them to break the license agreement
Yes. Completely agree. The problem is, from my reading, is that Nvidia violated GPL by calling GPL functions as opposed to code stealing. The problem with GPL is that it forces everything to be GPL or you’re in violation of the license. Link a GPL library, your code now has to be GPL. Called a GPL function, congratulations, your code has to be GPL. This critical fault in GPL has been brought up time and time again. Thankfully this issue is infrequently enforced. But that just means it becomes a ticking time bomb.
Let me be clear, I’m not defending Nvidia’s actions. Just that in the blame game, GNU’s toxic attitude should be called out
Please, hold all your “switch to Linux” comments
Linux is not as great a replacement as every one makes out to be. The community is hella toxic. Frequently leads to them shooting them selves in the foot. Right now they’re trying to pick a fight with Nvidia because they dared to call Linux’s sacred GPL syscalls
A valid and reasonable point. The problem is that often it spills out of it’s original intent. The “think of children” argument springs to mind
The problem is the whole “give an inch, they take a mile.” We don’t know what rights this may take away from us in the future. So in the now, always question
Worse than that. Major public opinion was against the rail strikes because they didn’t want to pay more at the supper market. Americans are just capitalist zombies doing whatever their corporate overlords tell them to do.
Billet Labs have spoken out about this (GN shows YT comment they made on the LMG vedio). They are not being very vocal about this. GN shows a video of items LMG has on display to be sold at the auction. You can clearly see the GPU water block on the table. Everything GN reported on is public record, including LMG responses. Nothing GN said is speculative. The video is just a report on public facts. Contacting LMG is superfluous.
Calling out BS doesn’t make you the bad guy. GN made it quiet clear, that point of the video was not for drama but help LMG do better for the sake of the industry and the consumer.
I’m not on team LMG or team GN. I’m on team a larger company has no right to hurt a smaller company because they don’t think their product has merit.
there are some larger issues around a recent review of a gpu heatsink.
Worse than that. LMG may have killed the startup behind the GPU water block. They sold off their one and only functioning prototype, despite being asked to return it before they sold it. This could result in the block being cloned by a competitor
Fuck you Linus. Your actions and your company’s actions might have resulted in the death of startup because you didn’t like the product and think people shouldn’t buy it. You don’t get to just apologize and give some money out and think that makes it okay. You should be horrified that something like this could happened. You should be bending your self over backwards, doing everything you can do to ensure that this doesn’t happen again. Instead you put out this dumb shit
Web DRM could in theory ban this
So this isn’t far from what you should do if you’re uninsured. Ask for an itemized bill. Refuse to pay their initial offer. Suddenly the hospital will be quick to lower your bill and work out a fair payment plan. Hospitals hate collections as much as you do
Edit:
Oh, forgot to mention, this is what insurance does. You’re just acting the same
Yes it is; and it was built with human hands in paradise.
