That's what I meant. Compared to the power the GPU is actually using, transmission losses for a pass-through should be negligible. If you have a good way to get it to the card in the first place.

USB standard is up to what, 40Gbps and 240W? That's pushing the envelope already. We'll see if this new standard can prove itself, anyways.

It would just put extra thermal load on the GPU.

Passing power through doesn't have to put noticeable load on the GPU. The main problem I see there is getting even more power to the GPU - Nvidia's top cards are already at the melting point for their power connector.

Regardless of talent kids should always have a backup plan. What if he broke his leg and couldn't get back into shape? Shit happens.

This way it will not be such a big deal if he can't make a football career happen.

Or be a patient gamer and get it on a sale.

That seems like a spectacular oversight. How is it supposed to replicate human vision without depth perception?

Why wouldn't a kid's performance be fair to criticize? It's not like we're harassing them on social media.

We're mostly fine with not buying them.

whatever helps you justify paying $120 for software

Does that sound like a lot to you?

Considering the use I got out of it, even if I switch to something else tomorrow, the cost for the lifetime pass was peanuts. I'm sure others making that decision based on the situation today will feel the same in a few years. If Plex seems like the best solution today it's not going to fall off the cliff before $120 were worth it.

Not like FOSS projects are immune to bad decisions, and then you either fork it yourself or depend on unpaid volunteers to keep the version you like alive. There's always some risk.

Self driving is supposed to improve on humans, so there's that.

At this point everyone should know that YouTube thumbnails have no requirement for accuracy. It's more like an album cover.
