What an amazing middle finger. Very little knuckle, full fingered, fist in anger, lips curling for an expletive. Fucking beautiful form.

[–] redsand@infosec.pub 9 points 1 week ago

I remember the drivers that inspired that finger. Thank fuck for vulkan

[–] darthsundhaft@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

You can tell this image is AI because the guy has three arms but real people only have two

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Also the too few fingers per hand.

[–] Kjell@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Maybe he needed he still the other fingers for a gpu or Ram?

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 week ago

That's not an arm, but it is prehensile

You gave me far too many laughs to justify in a simple upvote, thank you. lmao

The history of consumer computing is just looking at all the different ways Nvidia has figured out how to fuck said consumers over

[–] DarkSirrush@piefed.ca 14 points 1 week ago

Remember when we had to have a secondary nvidia GPU just to play games?

Remember all of the fucky hacks, install orders, and workarounds we needed to make it work when our main GPU was an AMD card?

Or when it was leaked for the 3rd time that nvidia was paying devs to make their game run worse on AMD hardware?

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't think they really are out to fuck consumers so much as they are an after after thought.

The consumer space just isn't able to pay what companies are paying and so in the words of Don Draper - 'I don't think about you at all'

What is a bit of a dick move is their consumer division paying lip service and pretending like they matter to the company at all.

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think it's rather telling that there's not a single company that's touching any of these currently insanely overpriced products and going, you know? I think I'm going to prioritize the human customers over the business customers. Sure, we may not make as much money, but we would have truckloads of goodwill and generate thousands of lifelong customers.

And I understand the business reasoning for that, but great businesses are not built by bean counters any more than wars are decided by bullet rations.

[–] FudgyMcTubbs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Man... The way I see it is if you nail down a small corner of the market, you've won. Like yeah, you've only got 15%, but holy wah you have 15% all to yourself and that 15% is dedicated to you. That's a great outcome. Probably why I'm not a CEO.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Well, I guess I'll just buy my hardware from a different supplie-

sound of twin-engine B-52 Tariff Bomber zooming overhead, as wallet buster economic sanctions whistle towards their targets

[–] Wirlocke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 48 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I can't believe the company pulling through with affordable but powerful graphics cards is Intel.

This is like the season 1 bad guy joining forces against a greater evil.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

Nvidia did invest in Intel

[–] yoru77@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago

Do Intel's GPUs still take a hard hit on Linux?

As long as there are alternatives, I’ll never buy an nvidia product again.

[–] uninvitedguest@piefed.ca 9 points 1 week ago

That first middle finger went up in 2020 and never came down.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

More like pre 2025 and post 2025

Nvidia always has been the biggest dick around hardware manufacturers

[–] Pika@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah, but NVIDIA used to be at least somewhat affordable. Now it feels like you have to get a credit check in order to buy any type of their components.

[–] dracc@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Yet people keeps buying their product. It's almost as if voting with your wallet is all that'll ever work.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 25 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Nvidia doesn’t care about consumer votes. They have plenty of AI dollars.

They have plenty of AI dollars for now.

Billionaires love when you think you can only vote with your wallet. They have many, many more votes than you. Nvidia doesn't give two shits about your wallet compared to the ones paying them to fill datacenters.

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

voting with your wallet

I'm terrified how many people think buying and selling stuff is moral, civic, and democratic duty. Econ 101 doesn't even work in economics, why are we applying it to everything?

[–] Jiral@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Well, I did my part at least.

[–] blackberry28@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The sales of consumer GPUs make up a veeeery tiny percentage of nvidias revenue. Nvidia could stop selling consumer GPUs tomorrow and it wouldn't even make a noticeable dent in their revenues. And what other options do u really have? Any other company ain't much better.

We don't have the money to back up our vote in this 'election'. If you could even call it that. Capitalism isn't a democratic process.

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you havr the money for a Nvdia GPU, i think you have the money for an AMD or Intel GPU...

[–] Airfried@piefed.social 5 points 1 week ago (3 children)

If you genuinely think they care about making a mere thousand bucks on a lumpy graphics card then you have been sleeping under a rock. Their costumers are Amazon, Microslop and Meta. Not you or me.

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

I am perfectly aware but that does not mean you should continue to buy from them, they still make money from them and they are evil as fuck also, when companies will inevitably start to buy less from Nvidia, it will be a problem for them

Doesn't really help that they got an almost monopoly on the market (with the only competitors being as shitty and involved in the AI circlejerk just as much).
