Working as intended.

PhRMA argued this will hurt innovation

Hmph. That would require there to be innovation to hurt.

Hell hath no fury like a NIMBY scorned.

Same thing happening here in Oregon. Homeless people are everywhere.

Ludicrously profitable megacorporations demand more profit.

That's what I want to see. Real choice in smartphones.

America is being taken over by gun-toting religious maniacs, and yeah, most of the populace supports them. Take a look at Trump's recent poll numbers.

Lousy criminals. NVIDIA, I mean. If I wrote code like that, I'd be dragged in front of a judge and made to answer for breaking the DMCA. But if you're a big, rich company, the government won't touch you.

Apple's GPU at least isn't maliciously designed to be difficult to write open-source drivers for. It's up to the community to figure out how it works and write a driver, but Apple isn't actively trying to stop them like NVIDIA is.

Those “haughty” “elitists” wrote your operating system and gave it to you for free. Have some gratitude, and direct your complaints to the uncooperative scoundrels in charge of NVIDIA who created this whole problem.

That sounds like the opposite of “yeet”.

As if kids these days can afford cosmetic surgery.

True, I could solve that problem. I have another problem, though: I live in a small apartment, I'm not allowed to store anything on the patio, and bikes are trivial to steal, so…where would I put it? And if I ride it someplace and go inside, where will I leave the bike?

Because it's very easy to offend them without meaning to.

They don't have to defend him. He's unassailable as long as Congress remains infested with Republicans.

The reason to own a home is that it's yours. You don't have to obey the tyrannical whims of your landlord and you cannot be capriciously evicted. Homeownership is self-defense.

Then neither of them is left.

You won't be having such a good experience with a Broadcom Wi-Fi chip. Broadcom and NVIDIA have nothing but contempt for the Linux community.
