alt Hacker NewsApparently somebody did sue a couple years back. Anyone know what happened with the Lucas Genova vs. nVidia lawsuit?
EDIT: Plantiff dismissed it. Guessing they settled. Here are the court documents (alternately, shakna's links below include unredacted copies):

A GamersNexus article investigating the matter: https://gamersnexus.net/gpus/12vhpwr-dumpster-fire-investiga...
And a video referenced in the original post, describing how the design changed from one that proactively managed current balancing, to simply bundling all the connections together and hoping for the best: https://youtu.be/kb5YzMoVQyw

Do those mention failing to follow Underwriters Laboratory requirements?
I’m curious whether the 5090 package was not following UL requirements.
Would that make them even more liable?
Part of me believes that the blame here is probably on the manufacturers and that this isn’t a problem with Nvidia corporate.
GamersNexus ftw as always

Sounds like it was settled out of court.
