Is it though?

The Hotspot temp sensors are one of the most critical diagnostic sensors an end user can have. When the thermal interface material begins to degrade (or leak out of the rubber gasket, in the case of the 5090's liquid metal) your package temp may only go up a few C but your Hotspot may increase by 10-20C or more. That indicates problems and almost definitely is one of the leading causes of dead and crashing GPU's- it's also the easiest to detect and fix.

Removing this quite literally has zero engineering reason beyond

• hiding from reviewers the fact that the 5090 pulls too much power and runs too hot for a healthy lifespan, even with liquid metal and the special cooler
• Fucking over the consumer so they can no longer diagnose their own hardware
• Ensure more 5090's die rapidly, via lack of critical monitoring, so that Nvidia funny number can keep going up by people re-buying new GPU's that cost more than some used cars every 2 years.

The sensors are still definitely there. They have to be for thermal management or else these things will turn into fireworks. They're just being hidden from the user at a hardware level.

This isn't even counting the fact that Hotspot also usually includes sensors inside the VRM's and memory chips, which are even more sensitive to a bad TIM application and running excessively warm for longer periods of times.

"Oh no it doesn't work now that we blew a bunch of holes in it! Guess we have to sell it off and privatize every one of these services because this clearly means government is incompetent oh noooooooo"

Modi is also a corrupt antidemocratic authoritarian asshole, and birds of a feather do like to flock together and all that.

Gotta add another line to the list of civ 5 victory score ranges below Dan Quayle

If you're using a personally identifiable email account to spam a government email address in the first place, that's kind of on you

It's more a problem of aggressive spam filtering- "big name" email domains will automatically ignore traffic from every email server thats not part of a known proven white-list, ostensibly to stop spammers from spinning up new domains every few minutes to keep sending mails. So any small service, including a self hosted option for email, often gets conveniently blackholed by the monopoly and are not usable.

I'm not a metallurgist, but I am good at educated guesses.

knowing how those sheets are made, they are cast poured into an ingot and then sent thru a series of progressive rollers at a high temp. Basically the cross section of the ingot simply gets smashed and stretched into a sheet of X thickness. I'll bet there was a discontinuity in the ingot pour (possibly a stop-start due to a short run, or machine/human error, accidental splash of water, etc) that resulted in an contaminated layer of the pour. Then when it was rolled out that discontinuity is maintained at the same point in the cross section.

Glue, sealants and adhesives in general are a massive part of the worldwide chemical industry and used in bulk by practically every single manufacturing process.... it's kind of wild how much of modern technology is basically dependent on "haha funny organic chemical be stickyyyyy"

They've tried a few times on their own instances (ExplodingHeads). They got purged and defederated so fast that they gave up as I've not seen more than 1 or 2 spammers shown up since.

I also had this problem. I tried 3 small (<1k user) instances and never got a signup email from any of them. Almost began to wonder if Gmail was just blackhole filtering all of them.
