schestowitz@Dr. Roy Schestowitz (罗伊) I have Nvidia card turned off in my notebook. because there’s no open source drivers for it. Nouveau does a part of work, but support not all cards. so the only variant is to turn it off and use CPU video.Jul 28 18:05

schestowitzYou are lucky with that 8400 GS as the nVidia 8400M G (8600 M) was faulty. There were tens (hundreds?) of thousands notebooks sold with that chip - ALL of them died sooner or later because of heat issues. https://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2010/10/nvidia-settles-faulty-processor-suit-dell-hp-compaq-mac.htmlJul 28 18:05

schestowitz“every single G84 and G86 GPU in the 8400M and 8600M series of cards is affected. Apparently both chips share an ASIC, and the core design suffers from the same heat-related issues.” - it was indeed irresponsible and a true mess for the consumer. There were posts saying “four Sony Vaio notebooks died within 2,5 years because of that gpu…” and stories like that. In the end there was that class action law suit but most of Jul 28 18:06

schestowitzictus@diasp.org - 7 days agoJul 28 18:06
schestowitzOnly Dell, HP/Compaq and Apple (Macbook Pro) had those chips in almost fifty models, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Asus, Sony, Acer, BenQ, Fujitsu, Clevo, LG, MSI, Toshiba, etc. had those chips too. Devices were sold around 2007-2008. They had an only 2 million fund for repair, but paid more in the end, don’t know what the settlement did cost in the end. They did not pay for the real damage anyway. For all the mess Jul 28 18:06
schestowitzhundreds of thousand users experienced.Jul 28 18:06
schestowitzFrom the news:Jul 28 18:06
schestowitz“Apple and Dell laptop owners would get their laptops repaired for free; HP laptops couldn’t be repaired, but their owners would get a HP replacement laptop of “like or similar kind and value” (though they weren’t more specific than that in the class notice, the settlement papers, or the court filings). NVIDIA set aside hundreds of millions of dollars of charges for the settlement and class counsel got $13 million in fees.Jul 28 18:06
schestowitzThere were a handful of professional objectors making boilerplate claims, but if a class member had come to me late last year and asked if I would object to the settlement, I would have told them no.”Jul 28 18:06
