Is this just consolidation? permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (5 children) I'm just over here wishing NVidia would relaunch the Shield. FFS even a *Shield TV" would be worth something permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] jumperalex@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (2 children) Well, they certainly now have a new market to justify a relaunch. If they are reading this news they HAVE to know the market has opened up for them. I have been a die hard Roku user (stb only, never full tvs though!!!) since they were first released. I'm not throwing them all out tomorrow, but I will be watching VERY closely and won't hesitate to convert all 3 in the house to something else. Another reason why I never bought roku tvs, I like my tv dumb for just this reason. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jws_shadotak@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago (1 child) Unfortunately, NVIDIA is making an obscene amount of money from the AI boom.

ROI is too low. Then again, never hurts to hedge a bet on the AI bubble.
