This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Love to expand my business infrastructure in a country that’s actively perpetrating a genocide. Very cool.
Someone's gotta create demand for stealing Palestinian homes. /s
Nvidia is a genocide enabling company. They should be punished for this anti-humanitarian activity.
Yeah that's not going to happen. Gamers don't give a shit. AI bros don't give a shit. Crypto cucks don't give a shit. And most importantly.... the US doesn't give a shit.
Harsh but true.
a touch generalizing maybe?
Maybe... But it is true. Nobody and I mean nobody is going to punish them for this.
what constitutes punishment? not buying their products has to be worth something, right?
It does, yes. But I don't think anyone will stop buying their products. Look at who they sell to:
Maybe a handful of gamers will decide not to. But in large enough quantities and for long enough to make a difference? Nah. Not going to happen.
I have crypto and I play games and I will not buy Nvidia again
Linux users do though. If people keep moving from Windows to Linux they're going to run up against the trash Nvidia driver support pretty quick.
This is a problem that Nvidia is capable of solving but they haven't been interested in it for over a decade so I don't see them starting now.
Expecting a major flood of new Linux users might be a bit of a pipe dream though. But the momentum is building. If we do manage to swing the market noticeably in that way, AMD is going to get a big boost over Nvidia in the gaming GPU market.
I doubt that will really move the needle for crypto bros or AI farms, but it is something.
Oh cool so the next gen of nvidia cards will spy on us for Israel? In the name of stopping terrorist?
Most tech companies are evil let’s be honest guys
Which ones aren't?
The most evil companies tend to send the most reliable and substantial paychecks, unfortunately.
I wasn’t really looking for a reason to not use NVIDIA but whatever
I wasn’t really looking for ~~a~~ another reason to not use NVIDIA but whatever
Fuck Nvidia.
Cue to Linus.jpeg
Cunts
I’m buying an AMD gpu already, you don’t have to convince me.
Amd is already in Israel.
Nvidia is already in Israel too. This would be a new campus.
Of course, there’s a lot of free land up there!
Nvidia is actively seeking land to build tech campus in Isreal's... sweats bullets ... north... sigh of relief
Way overpriced and under performing consumer cards, shitty bloated drivers and now this? Matrox or Diamond come back plz.
S3: Am I joke to you?
3DFX: ☠️
What's drawing them to Isreal? Is the local talent really that good?
Probably promised slave labor by the camp residents.
Probably currying favour with Zionists in the administration.
The networking part of Nvidia (based on Infiniband) was originally an Israeli company called Mellanox. They probably already have a large footprint there.
Israeli investors in NVIDIA push the company to invest in Israel. Israel is one giant nepotism club.
Some deal with the israeli government if I had to guess.
Silicon Valley person here. There is a relatively developed tech sector there, with a growing startup scene in Tel-Aviv. So not a horrible place to have an office (from purely talent reasons, setting ethics aside). But not necessarily fantastic either. There are bigger and more developed tech scenes in other countries. The Netherlands, Germany and Austria in particular have a lot of high tech semiconductor manufacturing companies which would be logical for a company like NVIDIA. As well as the added benefit of not currently waging a war against civilians.
Man I really hope Radeon and Arc don't fold.
If only ark went with dxvk rather than their half backed pilots that crash
The Arc 850 is apparently a banger of a midrange card. The mid range, I imagine, is the sweet spot for volume and profitability
Ew
That's what we call an IBM move.
That's evil
next gpu will also be amd
Some of Amd GPU work is in Israel.
i guess graphics will live in my imagination
Still a lot less than NVIDIA. Else we are going to have to wait for the Chinese stuff. Rumors are they have a 4060 tier GPU now.
We don't know how big AMD is in Israel because they keep it secret.
Edit: Hey Downvoter, could you link the number of AMD employees in Israel? Because I searched and only found that "AMD doesn't list employees by region in their public disclosures."
