Is everyone forgetting just how much Steve, Igor and others fucked with the connector in an attempt to get it to fail, and not a single one of them did? It wasn't until they figured out that end users were not seating it correctly that they successfully got a connector to melt. I don't think anyone could have predicted that end users were just not going to actually seat the connector all the way.Power strips still catch fire all the time. We still kind of accept some level of catastrophic failure if people misuse things. We need to stop thinking in binary. Blame can exist in both the connector and the users court. Same kind of people plug things in an outlet and then shove a dresser against the plug bending it half out of the socket and slowly tearing the cord out of the strain relief. Also nvidias CM should have been made to do more torture and abuse testing. My opinions.
Regretfully, it may actually be much more than half.So think about how dumb the average person is. Imagine HALF of all people are dumber than that.
