with disturbing implications. For one, a shelf life of "up to" six months, is that at idle, or under full load?
Is there any sentience going on?
Is this a really elaborate April Fools joke?
How fast are these wetware chips? Are we talking sub-Ghz speed or what?
Is each neuron equal to a CPU core?
What is the purpose/function of this device?

The list goes on, but I am reminded of a line, "I have no mouth and I must scream."

Congratulations, you feckless imbeciles. You've "innovated" general software package management a mere three $(GOD)-damned decades after Redhat and Debian did it.

While you're at it, why don't you "invent" a tiling window manager that can be driven entirely from the keyboard... Oh, wait...

Honestly... Why is anyone still voluntarily giving money to these chowderheads?

Submission + - Nvidia Accused of Media Manipulation Ahead of RTX 5060 Launch

jjslash writes: Hardware Unboxed has raised serious concerns about Nvidia's handling of the upcoming GeForce RTX 5060 launch. In a recent video, the independent tech reviewers allege that Nvidia is using tightly controlled preview programs to manipulate public perception, while actively sidelining critical voices.

The company is favoring a handful of more "friendly" outlets with early access, under strict conditions. These outlets were given preview drivers – but only under guidelines that make their products shine beyond what's real-world testing would conclude. To cite two examples:

  • One of the restrictions is not comparing the new RTX 5060 to the RTX 4060. Don't even need to explain than one.
  • Another restriction or heavy-handed suggestion: run the RTX 5060 with 4x multi-frame generation turned on, inflating FPS results, while older GPUs that dont support MFG look considerably worse in charts.

The result: glowing previews published just days before the official launch, creating a first impression based almost entirely on Nvidia's marketing narrative.

This assumes only one Chinese firm has been doing this, and said Chinese firm knows they are the only one doing this, then yes, the jig is up.
But if it's multiple firms doing this, and they don't talk to each other about doing this, then there is still a bit of question in the air.

Amusingly, "vaccines cause autism!" crowd are always saying "back in MY day, we didn't see anyone with autism" (look at what RFK jr is saying as an example) but every was vacc'd.

So...which is it, they cause it but you never saw anyone with autism, or they don't cause it and you are just spouting harmful nonsense to support some weird ideology?

Indeed, when the first SSDs appeared, I cynically observed at the time that the only reason they existed was to make Micros~1's shitty filesystem seem faster than it was. Thus, it was no surprise when Micros~1 started heavily promoting them -- especially those weird "hybrid" drives that bolted an SSD on the side of a traditional hard drive to use as an extended cache.
