Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person or their instance. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on. Keep on-topic


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Coming soon: A class action lawsuit against NVidia for everyone that bought a graphics card between the dates of X and Y who will eventually receive a 15$ cheque in the mail 5 years from now.

Um.. wasn't this well known? They'd buy up struggling companies, then secure a purchase agreement for GPUs through those companies in order to inflate their sales figures. They did this. A lot.

Almost seems like whomever is running this company lacks scruples!

Brown, black, or white?

Yeah, fair. It does. It would just have been helpful if articles like this had been written... a little sooner.

Corporate media was too busy backing fascism.

[–] WolvenSpectre@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 minutes ago

Damn right he did, along with a bunch of other tech YouTubers and Ed Zitron.

This news will probably make the NVDA stock price go up.

[–] ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net 15 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

I don't think so... Pretty sure it's illegal market manipulation... Someone should be going to jail for this one....

Preferably someone rich...

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

They might be setting up Jensen (the one non white guy in all this?) to be the fall guy for any pending economic turmoil. Let's see.

Not saying he is blameless, but that those in power might be getting ready to say everything is all his fault alone.

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Well of course, if you want your shares to go up you want a company that can manipulate the market

[–] DeepThought42@lemmy.world 10 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I'm shocked, I say. SHOCKED! /s

[–] hydrashok@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 hour ago

Well, not that shocked.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

That sounds like engineering creation of demand, not lack of supply.

[–] ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net 9 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

With increased demand and flat supply prices went up, that was the design..

Also - NVidia gets to post bloated sales numbers because they're not disclosing that it was their fucking money in the first place...

I've said it before, I'll say it again.

don't eat junk food! instead, compost and eat the veggies.

[–] cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 2 points 30 minutes ago

Veggies never did anything cruel or environmentally destructive, I don't see why we need to eat them if they haven't done anything wrong.
