Does that mean that NAT is copywriter infringement?
Your client connects to their server via a home router.
The server replies with a packet. The packet is rewritten by the router so it can reach the client.

Closed source Nvidia binaries.
Linux is very open source oriented. So the idea of blindly installing a binary rubs a lot of people the wrong way.
I think it also makes it harder to debug issues, and you are completely at the mercy of Nvidia.

So, open source (even partially) is a step in the right direction.
I think AMD has open source drivers

My understanding was that the microcode was causing too much power draw which caused the oxidation.

Tbh, I've read/heard lots of speculation, and I don't exactly trust Intel to be telling the entire truth.

If Intel makes it right, it won't.
There might be something for enterprise level with loss-of-revenue or something.
But if the microcode patches fix the issue, and they replace any already-damaged CPUs, then it's clear Intel is doing what they can to fix it.
Lawsuits aren't for mistakes that get "made good", unless it's a contract breach

Hopefully the microcode patches fix the issue before it has done any damage for you. Or if the issue has already done damage, hopefully you get a replacement

Huh.
Crypto is a neat idea. Good crypto is not a bad thing.
But crypto is a huge energy sink, tho. For no tangible product.

Crypto also is a huge part of scams, black market, money laundering, and predatory gambling. Never mind the various pump&dump scams, insider trading, fraud, thefts etc.
For reference, the majority of Coffiezillas YouTube channel of him exposing, investigating and explaining these things from influencers to FTX, moonshot, roobet and loads more.

The first 3 words of you original comment.
The rest is the most wishy-washy "oh yeh, good for some" non-commital nonsense ever.
But yes, wage growth for working class is a fantastic thing

A lot of companies will actually have a policy about this, probably to return them

IMO, as an outsider, he has done a great job.
Among many successes that have drifted across my news feeds, he has also excelled past the really low bar of "not making a mockery of the US".

That statement is not exclusive from the statement that "Biden should not run again".

It's 4 years later. And he would have to do another 4 years if he won.
I know presidents are more than just a person in the same way a ship can't sail with only it's captain. But strong leadership is going to make everything easier.
And Biden is old.
