More like useless comment in such a thread.

There isn’t much of the brand that is Canadian anymore, it’s all Chinese owned. So unfortunately I don’t believe that reasonable take is the actual one.

Appreciate the sentiment, but rule 1 of the community states that you should keep the original title when submitting an article, using the body or a comment to put your commentary.

As said by another, no need to offer the service worldwide, no need to be competitive, just need not to give them our data. It will cost a lot yes, but I’d much rather that than giving freely all our data to a fascist government and a kowtowing corporation.

Also nice moving of the goalposts, you first said that the article’s title was deceptive, “because the datacenters are in Canada”. I maintain my claim that this changes absolutely nothing to the story.

What does that change? It’s still property of Microsoft, and they’ve stated quite recently that US law will override any notion of sovereignty or ownership. So the datacenters could be anywhere, the data is, for all intents and purposes, american.

I haven’t seen anyone, even the worst of them, pretend we’re already at AGIs. Granted some of them pretend we’re getting close to AGIs, which is an outrageous lie, but a different one.

I’m not white and from now on I’m even more likely to get shot than before.

I’d argue that with him alive and continuing to spew his hate and calls for violence, that probability would have unfortunately continued to go up. It went up by a bigger margin with his death sure, but it wouldn’t have stopped with him not being shot.

That being said, I do feel very bad for you and all those affected.

I just want to add that “Look into it” is never a good argument; either you know of a study that shows this, in which case just link it (you’re the one with the burden of proof here), or don’t comment about imaginary data.

And for Québec it’s https://reglementpainquebec.ca/

Your answer does reveal that I may not have understood your previous message, but it only confuses me more…

What are the 2 sides we are talking about here?

I’ll bite: what’s wrong with the other side?

In my city there was a photo radar set up at a construction site that issued 10 tickets to the same vehicle over a period of 2 weeks all before the driver recieved the first ticket in the mail. How does that improve road safety (assuming that actually the intent of photo radar)?

So, one unique example where it took 2 weeks to have an effect is enough to say that they don’t work? While there are studies available through a simple word search that show the opposite? I’m confused here, but perhaps I misunderstood that 2nd paragraph.

Cat nail caps are not a perfect answer to this problem, but still an infinitely better one than amputation (please don’t use the term declawing as it’s extremely misleading).

There’s also ways to encourage your cat to use scratch pads and the like instead of your furniture (cats hate citrus for example, so a bit of that where they want to scratch and they’ll find a new spot immediately).

The simple fact that we still call it “declawing” is so infuriating… I’ve had to tell a lot of people around me that it actually is an amputation.

It could be that you’re unfortunately not in the list I guess. Also I don’t even remember if they actually advertise it when it’s applied.

GOG does have regional prices though? Or am I mistaken? I believe it’s not for every single currency, but unless I’m completely wrong it’s there.

Nice. Did not answer anything, did not point out where I’m simping, or being a fanboy. I’m not pro Nvidia, nor AMD, nor anything (rather than that I’m pretty anticonsumerism actually, not that you care).

You’re being extremely transparent in your bad faith.

Please read my entire comment, I also said your experience as one person is statistically insignificant. As in, you cannot rely on 1 bad experience considering the volume of GPUs sold. Anybody can be unlucky with a purchase and get a defective product, no matter how good the manufacturer is.

Also, please point out where I did any fanboyism. I did not take any side in my comments. Bad faith arguments are so weird.

I don’t know, real world data maybe? Your one, or 2, or even 10 experiences are very insignificant statistically speaking. And of course it’s not a rare story, people who talk online about a product are most usually people with a bad experience, complaining about it, it kinda introduces a bias that you have to ignore. So you go for things like failure rates, which you can find online.

By the way, it’s almost never actually a fault from AMD or Nvidia, but the actual manufacturer of the card.

Edit: Not that I care about Internet points, but downvoting without a rebuttal is… Not very convincing

That kind of comment always feels a bit weird to me; are you basing AMD’s worth as a GPU manufacturer on that one bad experience? It could just as well have been the same on an Nvidia chip, would you be pro-AMD in that case?

On the Intel part, I’m not up to date but historically Intel has been very good about developing drivers for Linux, and most of the time they are actually included in the kernel (hence no download necessary).
