Her peers cordially shaked hands with them well enough... Nevermind the richest members of the oligarchy who funded and paid respects to their coronation personally.

Promote Mbin. The only bad thing it has going for it is that it cannot block entire instances, which is odd because one would think blocking domains would do this. It also has a number of pet peeves, but none I've found to be as bad.

People who've gotten samples are claiming that it's basically like having a hairdryer in your system. This suggests that normal GPU positioning will interfere even more with the CPU in an air-cooled system. People might need to consider switching to AIOs, use specially designed cases, or just buy one of the water cooled 5090 partner models just to make sure. In normal configurations the extra heating is liable to affect CPU, RAM, and potentially even M.2 performance.

Their business isn't put at risk, we are long past the time when there were Edward Snowdens. Any intelligence agency involvement would be highly localized, highly specialized, and highly classified. You'd have more of a chance of a CEO of such a service outing themselves by sucking up to Donald Trump than getting ratted out. There are plenty of services that at one point or another did price themselves as being the privacy option that were later exposed, usually because they came from more well known brands that just happened to run into the situations that would expose them due to market presence.

A CEO is a good indication of the internal company culture at the top. He may be as much of a libertarian as Elon Musk is a "free speech absolutist", I'm not going to assume the best case scenario because I am not invested in proton and don't have an innate sunk cost fallacy. I agree with that comment, "it seems like he might just be bootlicking whoever is in power as appeasement".

I bet you go to sleep with it every night.

Translation: DOUBT! DENY! STRAWMAN!

Actually, I always had the notion that proton was focused on security until this bit of news. This isn't some conspiracy, I stay away from any social network or email service whose CEOs begin sucking up to Donald Trump because it's a dead giveaway of how the leadership of those services are willing to discard ethics and morality for profits and preferential treatment. With services like Proton, this would most easily be done by making concessions to intelligence agencies. A CEO isn't just "one bad apple".

Welp, if you ever wanted any confirmation whether Proton was really psyops ...

I consider this rather foreboding for their SFF 5090 release. If anyone is getting one, seriously reconsider getting one from another manufacturer, the guy in charge of overheating concerns got thrown out the window.

That's because you choose to. You could easily move to mbin, for example. This post made me realize I had been holding back on it without a good reason.
