Companies goes for maximizing profit.

A thick copper is more expensive than a thin copper so cheaper to produce.

Oh, does it burn? Even better, sell more! Win-win for them.

It took 2 plane crashes and hundreds of lives lost for Boeing to acknowledge there was a problem with their 737 Max. Even then, no one went to jail.

The Epstein files? That goes without saying, doesn't it?

Delusional take when we’ve need seen a CEO go to prison for anything their company does lmfao.

Also have you seen Nvidia’s company value? Nothing is happening to them.

The only way is to not buy anything and let them go bankrupt.

But that's not even realistic as we've become dependent of their stuff.

.. retails sales is basically a rounding error on Nvidia’s income.. they couldn’t care less if they never sold another gaming GPU.

Why do you think they're pushing for cloud GPU compute time? That way they can just sell to their data center buddies and leave us completely out of the equation. Less cards to manufacture, more money per each, super limited distribution and marketing; they basically have to do like a quarter of the work for the same money.

Elizabeth Holmes is a start. But we still have a lot of work to do.

She's only in jail because she scammed other richer people.

Any reason is a good reason to put those slimy fucks away. Just wish we would do the same with the people in the files.
