North Carolina style, head to your nearest electric substation and open fire*

You don't get to make $100 billion dollars and feign ignorance about how you got it and the damage you caused to obtain it.

Don't you? I can't think of any instance of justice truly being served to billionaires, can you?

GrundlButter ,

Those are fair points, but I can't help but chuckle that they were brought to justice because they stole from millionaires and other billionaires to make their ill gotten gains. Probably woulda got away with it if they just stole from the poor and middle class.

Not quite as many as Madoff, but some notable folks and investors.

You're right. One interesting option right now is the mustang Mach E, dealers are dropping prices and Ford is giving 0% for 72mo. I just bought a California route 1 for 46k at 0%, and I wasn't planning on electrifying at current prices until that came up.

I have a few questions, and I am honestly asking from sheer lack of knowledge on how to even look this up.

From what I have read, you don't exactly have copyright of your own likeness, but rather rights to how you can restrict its use for privacy/publicity/commercial reasons. But that applies to you alone. Does your next of kin inherit the rights from you automatically? Can you convey those rights after death? Do people actually do that?

I'm genuinely interested to know if this case was even possible. It's definitely in poor taste, but despite that it is an interesting experiment and admittedly a good mimicry. Should we expect more like this, or less?

GrundlButter ,

Thank you for the read. I figured this one was a thorny issue without even considering the locale/jurisdiction aspect.

From the looks of it, this is an issue that is likely to have to be fought in court to deliver some precedent or legislation will have to directly target this... And that's just the American side.

I'm honestly glad these comedians and the Carlin family were able to come to a reasonable settlement, so that the Carlins themselves didn't have to be part of this eventual circus. I feel like George himself would find this scenario pointless and loathsome, and I only wish I could hear the real him talk about it haha.

GrundlButter ,

Yeah, only domestic companies and our government is allowed to spy on us with impunity.

Just frustrating to watch how short sighted this whole tiktok scare thing has been. It brought the data privacy problem to the forefront, and every effort was made to completely disregard privacy as a whole and focus on the China aspect instead.

They've gotten a bit better within the Nvidia 1000-3000 series, but I can't vouch for the 4000 series. Better thermal management techniques and lower target thresholds.

That being said, I'm sure there are manufacturers that buck the trend and set higher thermal targets for more performance. I'd say monitor your temps, and target for no higher than 75c if possible.

GrundlButter ,

As in too high or too low? Maybe it might be that I've only had experience with a mobile 1060, 3060, and 3070 from Lenovo, but all of them seemed to have a target temp around 72-75, that or that was effectively where the fans could keep it at equilibrium when running furmark as a benchmark.

Different hardware type. Gaming laptops have dedicated graphics cards which generate heat from an additional source, and they have to drive 1080p/1440p/4k content, whereas the steam deck is a 1280x800 screen, which is absolutely perfect for an AMD integrated GPU with reduced thermal management.

The steam deck is a single spec tightly tuned machine and software package not unlike a game console, whereas a gaming laptop is an all purpose machine with hardware all over the spectrum that you can buy what you want/need.

You have described the experience of Jeep ownership. The heart wants what it wants.
