    Snowden added, “As someone who wants to sweep away corruption, there’s a lot to like in the new ShamWow. And for those really tough, dirty stains, there’s OXYCLEAN!!! With ShamWow and Oxyclean, you don’t need to be Rushin’!”

    I can’t see the context because it’s freaking X, but I bet that’s in reference to local ML hosting.

    There’s a big movement to get away from corporate AI, and I don’t need to explain the importance of that to the Lemmy crowd. But Nvidia is indeed artificially crippling consumer VRAM to stop them from being used for that too much, and protect their enterprise GPU market.

    The most bizzare thing is that AMD is inexplicably complicit even though they have like zero market share in that space. 48GB 7900s (and so on) would have obliterated Nvidia and sold like hotcakes, much less actually using their modular memory controller architecture… But no? They restricted their OEMs from doing that because they… Don’t want money, I guess.

      AMD is much of a scum as Nvidia is or Intel was, that’s why DeepSeek is something that came from China and you would need a new player completely outside of the current chain.

        I don’t see how that’s relevant, Deepseek was trained on, and is served on, Nvidia hardware.

        And while I don’t disagree about AMD gouging, if AMD was to act like “scum,” they would screw over Nvidia’s pricing strategy.

        But… they don’t. And lose for it.

        It’s some combination of ignorance, corporate stupidity and straight up collusion, but it’s also the opposite of greed.

    “Whistleblows”. What a moronic take, in this regard taking the word of Edward Snowden is like taking the word of a random stranger in the street. At least we know on what Edward Snowden is likely spending his days on in Russia: Gaming. Wouldn’t blame him, it’s not like he can freely travel.

        Don’t that distract you from that fact that 2025 Edward Snowden threw Nvidia’s RTX 50 series off Hell In A Cell and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.

    Every time I see a headline that contains the word “slams,” I want to slam my head on the table
