Fractional investment. nVidia invests $1bn for 10% of your company, you use that valuation to get another $3bn in loans and then use the money to put on a party and show your product off to lure in someone who is willing to invest $2bn for 5% of you company.
You haven’t got a working product, but your company has raised $6bn in capital/debt and you have a valuation over $40bn. You spend the $6bn on hardware from nVidia and others, propping up their share price. They invest it back in your business too. Boosting your valuation some more.
No real money has traded hands, and you’ve just been given hardware in exchange for a portion of your business.
If your business fails, nVidia and your other investors are left holding the bag…

My TPlink omada router has Wireguard built in, so I use WG tunnels on my mobile devices to tunnel home where my PiHole (soon to be replaced by Technitium) blocks ads and malicious content.

What do you actually think would happen here? That a friend would text me within, idk, 1 to 4 hours of his mom dying? I think he’s got bigger problems - calling a funeral home, or just dealing with the grief.
No, I expected you to text him with “hey mate, haven’t heard from you in a bit, hope everything is as good as can be”

You chose an online social network over real human connection…

You used your feed for info, rather than looking at his profile or asking him politely. That’s not on Meta - that’s on you.

- Comment on I went back to Linux and it was a mistake 8 months ago:
I run Manjaro on a 2010ish Dell XPS 15 without a single issue. Haven’t used it in a while, because I got a 2012 MBP that was lighter to carry and put Kubuntu on that, but last time I used the XPS it was fine.
This is less an issue of proprietary hardware and more user competence IMO
