they send us these cute charts and stuff about our usage

they show you a "you are using xyz% more then previous year" type stuff

but my wife keeps it and their little bullshit is because they keep changing the rate and then using the new rate against your old usage as comparison. Looks like OMG we used a lot more power then last year! We should consider cutting something out.

But the actual meter reading numbers are almost always the same year after year

this is actually happening

my elecric company just raised its rates 13% and forcast rasing 25% next year after

we have a power making dam in town

historically we have had some of the cheapest power in the USA

i was reading earlier that this is looking more and more like ENRON style accounting and acquisition. That ended badly but it didn't happen on a scale that NVIDIA is currently treading

they also outright steal and then reproduce

in some ways its funny because they don't usually improve but since its their cultural space to be social it is the one way to put a dent in capitalism

it will probably limit 3rd parties for a short time, until they purchase the tool that is required

or someone reverse engineers a tool that doesn't violate some trademark

these things never stay in one parties control for long
