Price already sucks for everyone. I don't plan to get a new card for several years or build a new PC. And I'm actually on a NVIDIA card.

If AMD and Intel stick around with them having better Linux support I'm more curious about what that'll mean for PC ports, since NVIDIA has been what's been more prioritized with their PC market share.

Remembering the past with stuff like PhysX and hairworks that would suck on non NVIDIA cards, and games getting dlss while FSR often neglected. When they tried to push gsync for a while before luckily freesync became more widespread.

Yeah and them saying that hasn't much changed my view of not buying GPU or ram for several years with prices being outrageous anyways. Either there will be GPUs people won't be able to buy unless they overpay or there won't be any to buy at all.

Will be a question of which will last longer when it comes to support. AMD and Intel when it comes to Linux has been a more pleasant experience for me than NVIDIA cards over the long run with them not being open source drivers, and being a buggier experience as distro over time drop support for legacy NVIDIA cards and having to rely on community driver workarounds for newer versions once LTS support stops for older versions.

No I already viewed consumer hardware market as screwed when crucial withdrew from selling storage.

You were still optimistic. I thought it was already the end. I've considered the PC i have now the last I'll have for years before any of this.

Well, if we are going to eat meat, we better use the skins too, instead of wasting them.

Make CEO’s lame and boring again

Sure, but the small handful of people who are CEOs of multibillion tech companies are all arrogant, pathologically narcissistic psychopaths.

Not as many get access to high class Chinese spys.

I'm sure Kash Patel, the Trump DOJ, and an organization that has heavily functioned to preserve existing political and economic hierarchies will go thru the motions and corporate Dems will hold their hearings and make a pageantry of some things. And the result will be at best, a big wet fart, and at most, it will just be directed in a way that will end up advancing broader capitalist/imperialist interests.

Like say putting much stricter controls on the sale of AMD/Nvidia chips which will conveniently benefit all the AI companies who want China and even consumers to have less access to the underlying components of this tech. Which is the one area Jenson was at odds with AI. Open weight and broad access to AI is good for Nvidia, but not for the AI companies.

You mean the federal organization that fucks animals?

Happened to Epstein

I don't care about the exact reason why he might be going to prison, nor do I really care about selling stuff to china, but what I have been excited about is the possibility of a ceo going to prison for breaking the law. If the crime happens to be selling stuff to china, so be it

Please don't give them any more ideas lol, what OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic want is exactly more stuff like this.

They want a “moat” around their services. Protected by the most powerful government in the world, the US.

Almost everything these companies have done has been an attempt to keep this tech and it's supply chain as closed and proprietary as possible.

Hell, Sam Altman is out there saying the quiet part out loud that they don't even want consumers to have direct access to things like ram anymore.

And frankly, I wouldn't be shocked if the reason this is happening is for that very reason. A justification they can carve out to justify letting Nvidia stock fall as they simultaneously lock down the tech in a way only US AI companies will be able to easily use it.

I think like almost everything else America does it will bite us in the ass longterm, but this is directly giving the AI companies what they want. And I suspect we are on the road to that happening.

Could be Jensen was bribing the US president to sell chips to China and taking advantage of the period of any politician is openly for sale, but now with the power shift of the House and Senate and possible investigations.

It felt more prudent to get ahead of the story before January when the new elected official take their seats. Maybe he'll buy a pardon.

Solid meme selection. Also good would have been the George Bush WTC 2nd plane meme or the Star Wars Phantom Menace now there is two of them meme, thank you for coming to my TED talk.

It’s held true for the entire history of human civilization.

It was a hard joke to make without accidentally sounding like an asshole, but I think I did okay.
