I kinda hate this article.

"Celebrities on youtube are fear-mongering! There's nothing wrong with the connectors!"

"Except the connectors are cheap and break easily. But that's not nvidia's fault!"

They're doing some whack-ass mental gymnastics there.

That's fair; it's certainly expensive when compared to ground-based broadband.

Compared to other satellite Internet services I've used it's substantially faster and less expensive, plus not having a data cap is a huge bonus.

I’ll probably skip this generation. No use paying money for it to break.

> At 450 watts max draw at standard 120V mains power, the supply is only going to be pushing 3.75 Amps through the connector.

The problem was never the C13/C14 connector handling mains power. The power supply feeds 12V DC to the card over the connector we're talking about, for 37.5 amps that that connection handles.

Is Brooklyn accent a euphemism for cursing?

Something I’ve wanted to see added to phones for a while now is shooting detection. It’s a bit of a tricky sell, because even if sound data is analyzed locally on a device, people would probably be sussed on their microphones being active while their phones are in their pockets, but it could provide early warning and shooter location data for nearby users and law enforcement. Combined with the fall sensors and heart rate monitors in a lot of smart watches, this could also provide casualty data like location and triage priority to first responders.

I was actually exploring making this into an app a year or two ago, but that requires users to install it and trust an app developer not to collect microphone data. It would only be as effective as adoption. Having the feature offered natively in the device ui like the earthquake and fall detection systems would be ideal.

We’ve come a long way with phone policies since I was in school, most students have their phones powered on through the entire school day and most schools have their students phone numbers on file. To make the data available to the school would only require students add the school ID to their device. Another option, which could work for schools and venues, is to allow the venue or school to add devices by number; the data would only be available when devices ping a possible gunshot and are in the boundaries of the venue or school location. It would also not be nearly as invasive as other features people used for contact tracing during the pandemic, as it would not allow the school or venue or authorities access to meta data upon request, it would require the device to either ping the data when it thinks it hears a gunshot or when an active shooter has been identified at the location.

Always!

I’m hearing about more and more people experiencing this lately.

Happened to me too, only it was my phone. It happened shortly after I upgraded to iOS 16. My phone would hear me and show the psychedelic little interface at the bottom of the screen implying Siri was working…but it would just time itself out. Every time. My watch would work though. AirPods stopped functioning with Siri as well. Tried every solution from least invasive upwards, but did not do the ultimate and reset my phone. Just didn’t want to nuke everything for the sake of Siri at that point.

Then last Sunday…it just turned back on again. Been working perfectly. No clue.

I hope you’re starts working soon

At this rate we can power our GPUs and recharge electric cars with the same cable.

The new USB standard.

Cablemod to the rescue

Looks like it was stripped with a pocket knife. I don’t think that is a soldered connection. I have never made one but I’m guessing those wires were supposed to be tinned to be used in that plastic connector which would most definitely be cheaper and faster done automatically, by several orders of magnitude. Though the size of those wires vs the size of those hole don’t look like any amount of solder going to help.

They need to be recalled and sued for knowingly selling faulty products. The greed is beyond proportion for Nvidia. Insane.

Really depends on labor costs

Murrica fuck yeah!

Yeah this connector is a modern disaster. Who tested it as it's one of the worst I've seen in 25+ years of PC building.

Wow NVIDIA really fucked this little detail up

The Dr “I recommend the life saving APPLE WATCH to every patient”. He isn’t recommending a fit bit, he’s pushing apple tech, so no, you’re wrong, and my point stands.

The cards are way too big. The connector won't fit in a bunch of cases without an extreme bend. It was incompetent to put it there. Even more idiotic is using subpar parts.

Thanks for the mention! :)
