Yet people keeps buying their product. It's almost as if voting with your wallet is all that'll ever work.
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.
Nvidia doesn’t care about consumer votes. They have plenty of AI dollars.
They have plenty of AI dollars for now.
Yet all people I hear have bought new computers in the last 15 years (very few exceptions) somehow has Nvidia cards.
I went AMD when I bought my new computer 3 years ago! (Not that they're much better at all!)
Hoping cheap Chinese GPUs and RAM catch up soon!
If the Future of free and open computing ends up being Chinese, it's gonna be hilarious.
The irony would be glorious, for sure
The country of the Great Firewall actually making free and open computing possible in the World at a time were most supposed Democracies are closing it all down claiming it's "for the sake of the children" or "to protect us from Terrorism" or some other thin self-serving excuse for expanding civil society surveillance, would truly be the ultimate role-reversal.
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.
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.
If you havr the money for a Nvdia GPU, i think you have the money for an AMD or Intel GPU...
If you genuinely think they care about making a mere thousand bucks on a lumpy graphics card then you have been sleeping under a rock. Their costumers are Amazon, Microslop and Meta. Not you or me.
I am perfectly aware but that does not mean you should continue to buy from them, they still make money from them and they are evil as fuck also, when companies will inevitably start to buy less from Nvidia, it will be a problem for them
Well, I did my part at least.
