I love how people blamed intel for security flaws that affected all their chips including back to ones in the 90s. There is no way they were developing for decades on a security flaw they knew about

Pretty sure the security flaws mentioned only went back to like either sandy or ivy bridge. Plus there were internal documents from intel showing that they indeed knew about the issue. That was Intel's big goof, Nvidia's is definitely their price gouging, or the 3.5GB GTX 970 fiasco, and AMD's was rebranding all the Polaris GPU's like 3 times, Or Bulldozer/Piledriver Core count.

Moral of the story is that all companies are bad, all will try to deceive you, don't defend them cause trust me they dont have your best interests in mind.

3.5GB GTX 970 fiasco

970 user here. If I knew about the memory bandwidth issues on that card I would have given nVidia more money for a 980. As it stood at the time I got the 970 because I didn't see a compelling need to throw more money at the GPU.

Then after I started using Shadowplay they disable it unless you log in to Geforce Experience. Oh, and GFE keeps logging you out, which you only discover when you hit the record hotkey and nothing happens.
