It does come with an insane fine. You just need to report it to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

- TheRealPomax 4y agoYou mean the commission whose highest ever fine "omg so bigs" ever was a paltry 4 million dollars? Pass, this needs a bit more of an iron fist "we take half your revenue. If you go under, tough shit, you deserved it" approach.
- mike_d 4y agoI'm not sure where you got that information, but it is wrong. They have handed out over $35 million in fines this year, with the largest being $27.25 million in 2018.
- lightedman 4y ago27.5 million is chump change for nVidia.
- TheRealPomax 4y agoI'd like to get better information, but google sure isn't finding me any, got a link that lists the fines issued per year? And of course with that said, $27 million is nowhere near enough to hurt a company like NVIDIA, which pulls in SIX BILLION DOLLARS per quarter. Even if they slapped down a 30 million fine, that'd be less than half a day's revenue, and basically says "this is perfectly acceptable behaviour in our country, thank you for dining, here's the bill, no tip required, come again". For megacorporations like NVIDIA, "a million" is not a big number, it's passive income that rolls in over a lunch break. Real fines for megacorps need to "b" rather than "m" to actually matter.
