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

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

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

Omfg take my upvotes.

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?

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.

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

Nvidia did invest in Intel

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

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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).
