It's crazy to me the amount of inconvenience this must cause their AIB partners. I mean it's launching in a month. Marketing, packaging, documentation, would all have been done, there would likely be tens of thousands of them already on container ships at this point that will need to either be recalled or repackaged. What a shit show.

What’s the problem? Do you prefer an ad that pleases you or an ad that doesn’t? This is no different from staring at ads on your phone.

If your problem is ads altogether, my question is, do you want everything paywalled instead?

Who cares

It leaves the device when it goes to the application for one, who knows what happens in between or in the application itself...

Is it the same chip though?

Oh it's not.

The AD102 chip is used on the 4080ti, 4090, 4090ti and rtx6000 (quadro card)
AD103 is used only on the 4080 16gb? Wtf.
AD104 is used on 4060 up to 4080 12gb, wtf.
AD106 is used on the 4050 and that's it for now.
AD107 is not yet used. But that'd be for something like a 4030 or 4010...

I am guessing they will want at some point to make some RTX 4080ti with the AD103 chip perhaps? Or maybe they will make quadro cards with them..? Or they will bring back the "super" editions...

The hell is wrong with Nvidia this generation...

Both. The owner owns the single physical copy and the copyright/publishing rights. They can sell all of these, as a bundle, at anytime, obviously for millions of dollars. But the conditions for any future purchaser of the item and publishing rights are that they can't duplicate it for profit until next century. There are exemptions for private listening parties, and evidently free streaming. Its really not that hard to grasp.

Hence why I said "send me one that doesn't". Any major brand name one does. Maybe there's some East Asian knock off that doesn't, which would be interesting. I'd be interested to see exactly what it does try to do.

​

It's the same as people going "Yer lightbulb connects to Chiner!" Like yeah, it absolutely does. If you put a packet filter set up to monitor the /16 on your firewall / router you'll see that it reaches out with its firmware version and checks for updates.

​

Just because something 'can be spooky' does not mean that it 'is spooky' and assuming it is without doing due diligence is just silly. But hey, it's the internet, so it's more misinformation than information these days.

So which is it, "that it not get a commercial release" or "is allowed to sell version of it [after] 88 years"?

There have been numerous cases where actual audio recordings from Alexa were used in police investigations. That's different from just getting a warrant for your search history. Do with that information what you want.

I don't have a dilemma. In fact I really DGAF. I use webcams daily for work. What I was saying is you can't say that for EVERY webcam mfg. You speak confidently but you just don't know.

That's in the same way they submit a request to Google for your search history. If you say "Alexa how do I poison a dog" it's the same as Googling "How do I poison a dog".

It's not like the Police are asking Amazon to pull up secret recordings of you at 4AM as you take a taco bell shit. Lol

Hear me out. Go to Google and type in "logitech webcam schematic" and click on Datasheet Archives or any of the other top links and tell me what you find. Or go ahead and get real fancy and put in a filetype:pdf on there.

​

You can find Apple schematics online with the click of a button. You think basic ass webcam schematics aren't online?

​

​

WITH THAT BEING SAID, it is also ridiculously easy to understand a webcam circuit board even without the diagrams... Just because you do not understand how the board works and think it's complex does not mean everyone shares your dilemma.

You can't really know that's true without detailed schematics, which you ain't gonna get from most webcam mfgs.

Yep. And cops use Alexa data all the time in their investigations.

Yeah, sure pal.

[removed]

Lol if you believe that I've got a bridge to sell you

Sure it does, even if that's true that only for right now. And still even if it never leaves the device they can still use that data to build profiles and force you to watch ads

You looked at x ad longer than 2 seconds, cataloged as relevant / effective, ad revenue criteria met. Ad slightly modified to be slightly more blue next time, eye time 2.3s, more ad revenue. All future ads now with more blue. ad y shows up, 4 seconds. Double the frequency of ad y, more ad revenue. ad y blue-purple, down to 3.8s. Back to more blue for more ad revenue.

970 and it’s time but it still works great for everything I play. With the price of cards I picked up a ps5 for my son to play newer titles like elden ring etc. I would love to build a new pc but the price of components is crazy.

Yeah, I was on high at 1440p. But halfway through the game my worlds/levels started loading with missing objects/assets. The part where you wake up towards the end in the rippers clinic, the walls were invisible, floors were invisible, etc lots was missing. That and the very very end... the whole building except a few columns were missing until I walked out on the roof. I could see through the world. No matter of saving loading or graphics adjustment would fix it

Yeah, I had to send my 2070 in and it took Gigabyte 7 months to get me a new one. The apologized by giving me a 2070 super. Its been serving me really well :)

Facebooks business model is to sell your personal information to anyone that will pay for it. Why on Earth would you let a company like this into your digital life?
