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 5 days 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 24 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Also the too few fingers per hand.

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

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 5 days ago

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

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 days ago

Nvidia did invest in Intel

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

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 5 days 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 5 days 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 5 days 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 4 days 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 5 days ago

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

My 2025 pc (before the ram price jumps) is all amd!

And its honestly pretty awesome

And 20gb vram is nice

Not that i think amd is a saint among these types of companies

But compared to Nvidia..?

[–] Airfried@piefed.social 14 points 5 days ago (4 children)

AMD does the exact same as Nvidia. They're just less successful with it. It doesn't really matter who you buy from in that regard, I think.

[–] carrylex@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago (7 children)

Linux GPU drivers would like to have a word...

AMD doesn't gate the high vram to be only their top end model. They have generally higher vram across the board.

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

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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 5 days 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 5 days 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 5 days ago

Well, I did my part at least.

[–] blackberry28@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days 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.

[–] dracc@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 4 days ago

Nowadays, yes. Wasn't this way 10-15 years ago. I've been against their practices enough to not buy their product these last 20 years, which feels like a very lonely hill to die on.
