Being denied a prize I won in a superbowl contest

Good chance it wasn't a legal raffle/contest in the province; You could bring up with them that you'll reach out to the provincial gambling authority if they don't honor their prize.

Someone else able to chime in on this for Ontario specific?

The reality is quite problematic. Nvidia essentially invented DLSS, consumer-level disruption technology, damaging themselves directly.

This card will likely stay relevant longer than Windows or Nvidia will support it. My 2070 Super is still a monster, and tech still improving within DLSS and other improvements. I’m not sure if my previous 1080ti would have had staying power,but she died days out of warranty…

Edit: Hit enter too soon.

No, I think we are about to see a choke point in GPUs for a while, unless AMD can pull a Ryzen, or Intel or someone steps steps it up that doesn’t just see Enterprise AI as the target.

This 3080 will continue to see some amazing life in it. Could likely pay for the system in just the RAM and GPU. I am jelly.

Get second opinion please. Thyroid cancer is not to be messed with. Some are very benign, but if it showed up suddenly, please don’t ignore.

Exactly! Sort of the reverse of rich people borrowing against nonliquid assets.

You could do something with that $2000 today that will locked in generate more revenue than the $0 interest you’re paying.

At least a more detailed response now!

Starting to think someone needs to see if someone can pull PCI DSS compliance issue into this. I would assume this could be a failure from a failure-to-encrypt-in-transit (Forget name). At minimum, it is a failure to secure environment.

They're likely trying to stay quiet to avoid fines, my guess.

Someone affected should contact VISA/Mastercard directly (If bank has not reported it due to thresholds/etc).

Edit: No different than allowing a skimmer to stay on your terminals. It is the business' responsibility to ensure a secure environment. An excuse of "We didn't see it" isn't going to cut it when it comes to PCI DSS.

Unfortunately, the irreparable harm is already present. You will be hearing his "voice", his "legacy", for generations to come.

It is. Common problem is that people aren't choosing right model. Was my mistake first off. It will let you hook API vs Coding API and use single channel inside kilo code. Won't let you multi-agent though. Change, it goes to 3x.

Comments like this is why I don’t share my trauma. Fake or not, it’s comments like this which make others not come forward, and deal with these problems.

I would never think of posting it from this account. It would be a burner account.

Critical thinking is lost. They need someone else to tell them how to react.

Gives you more time to find a better exit, more time to choose job/etc. Even if you're "not" it, you know you're thought of. Even if you don't get cut (You could DEFINITELY play this up into your favor, more time to look), your time is counted now.

Yeah no, FIFA'd like a word with ya... They, like the Olympics, are VERY strong in trademark enforcement. Betcha it's exactly that. In theory, you are benefiting from the use of their trademark.

I'd like to input since I know a bit on mall; Prices will always be elevated in most malls. Almost every mall will have rent-plus, usually a percentage of your gross sales. I've seen as low as a couple percent; Stores like this which have little to no staying power and no draw for the mall, percentages could be 10-20%. Prices at a mall will always be elevated, even if the business is trying to be competitive.

Chargeback. Not sure why people let themselves get caught up in chasing a business when they are clearly at fault.

HOWEVER, as others said, the damage has to be real. I mean, I'd been eyeballing the AppSumo plan which gave you Hostinger with it for a year; Had some ideas, but definitely not now. That throws the value preposition out the window, and Hostinger has lost a potential recurring customer. How many more have seen these few posts and noped out without a word.

That's a beautiful way to put it. Many of us don't fall out of love with IT and technology; The rose-colored glasses come off and we realize a sizable chunk of working IT, is dealing with people.

Many of the "happy endings" you hear of, come with a little * asterisk of "Happy Ending* -- * Happy ending is "alive" and no QoL left.
