Great. Now they’re building infrastructure and industry atop a stolen Trojan Horse, which may still bite them the moment the little oange man tells Nadella to flip the switch.
Jesus nun-fucking Christ, what an absolute scam. I bought a 1070 for $220 in the first few months after release. Guess I’ll just have to hope it can run for another 10 years…
Tell me about it. I also paid about the same for a 1070 back in 2016 and it lasted me all the way until 2022, when I finally decided to be a sucker and pony up the $1600 for a brand new 4090 at launch. Which as insane as that is, I’m glad I did because now 4090s go for about $3K used!
If you didn’t buy a new GPU by mid 2023, you’re pretty much stuck with what you have for the foreseeable future, given how insane prices are now with no signs of slowing down.
I’m looking forward to cheap Chinese video cards that out perform Nvidia shit for 1/4 the price.

China has no need for open source because they steal everything anyway.

Likewise. Don’t expect it from China though.

Most of the handheld consoles they sell run Linux of some variety. It’s just a question of what is marketable.
I hope you’re right because Intel and AMD still can’t compete with high end Nvidia cards, and that’s how we ended up with a $5000 5090.
AMD can already beat nvidia at the price tiers most people actually buy at, and Intel is gaining ground way faster than anyone expected.
But outside of the GPU shakeup, I could give a shit about Intel. Let China kill us. We earned this.
FIVE THOUSAND?!
