If Apple took action following Batterygate, I can't think of a reason why Nvidia should be able to ignore connector issues indefinitely.

you seem to possibly have a wrong conception about how apple works.

here is a great video about it (it is also entertaining):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUaJ8pDlxi8

apples approach is to deny an issue exists at first, then when that doesn't work anymore, they will go ahead and massively downplay the issue.

when that doesn't work anymore lawsuits might come int. the result of the lawsuits might be an extended warranty replacement program on a specific product, if bought in a specific time period.

apple will then lie to customers about this program, they will NOT have the warranty program for units sold out of the EXACT time period specified, despite having the exact same issue.

and they will also NOT have an extended warranty program for different units like bigger screen sized laptops from the same year, OR products, that released afterwards, that still have the exact same engineering flaw and were designed AFTER the lawsuits were at least already rolling about the engineering flaw.

so apple literally does the barest minimum, that is possible with gaslighting customers as much as possible. scamming them in whatever way possible.

so in lots of ways nvidia now acts like apple, however we somehow didn't see a proper big lawsuit, that unlike for apple would in this case require a recall, because we are dealing with a fire hazard here.

and both nvidia and apple's anti consumer pure evil should get punished to the maximum.

the interesting part is, that apple is doing lots of it to increase profits. remember it is a double design decision. 1: have terrible engineering flaws, that break the products. 2: make the design as unrepairable as possible, so that a repair is straight up impossible or unreasonably expensive due to how nearly impossible it is by design.

but nvidia? nvidia isn't making more money pushing the nvidia 12 pin fire hazard onto customers. and they trippled down by now.

that can't be answered with greed even... they trippled down on the nvidia 12 pin fire hazard.

but yeah giant lawsuits, or governments without a lawsuit forcing nvidia to do a recall and drop this fire hazard is required.

and the 2nd one is somehow extremely unlikely, as governments in the usa, uk and other places are busy trying to murder innocent trans children and making life worse for everyone.

so yeah i guess we might have to wait for an nvidia 12 pin fire hazard caused house fire with maybe even dead people to start a lawsuit big enough to end this nvidia 12 pin fire hazard nightmare?

because nvidia somehow does not want to step away from this fire hazard.
