Hardware companies trying to copy the software companies with a subscription model really sucks. What's next? Intel charging a monthly fee to unlock 5 GHz boost? Nvidia charging a monthly fee if you want to do anything AI-related with their GPUs? Samsung and LG charging a monthly fee if you want to use a TV or a monitor for more than 2 hours a day? Greed knows no bounds.
I hope no execs are reading this thread because if they had these ideas they'd have no qualms about implementing them
Don’t give them ideas!
Pretty sure intel do something like that with their server CPUs.
Yep: Intel on Demand
