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 2 months ago

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

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

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 2 months ago

Also the too few fingers per hand.

[-] Kjell@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 months 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

[-] sel@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

Omfg take my upvotes.

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 2 months 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 2 months ago

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 2 months ago

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.

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 2 months ago

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.

[-] yoru77@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Malyca@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago

Nvidia did invest in Intel

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

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

More like pre 2025 and post 2025

Nvidia always has been the biggest dick around hardware manufacturers

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 2 months ago

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

[-] bandanawearingbanana@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

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 2 months 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?

[-] blackberry28@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

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.

Well, I did my part at least.

[-] Airfried@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago

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 2 months ago

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 2 months ago

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 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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).
