And the user who posted it. I really wish there was a simple way to block sensational posts from my feed.

I’m an idiot that waited. Saw a sapphire nitro 7900xtx on sale for €900 but didn’t get it holding out for the 5800. Now those are €1400 if you can find one and the 7900xtx is out of stock.

Have a 3080ti though so I’m not too bad off, just annoyed.

[viri4thus@feddit.org]

Don't feel bad, neither AMD or NVIDIA (or Intel for that matter) have produced anything worthy of note in the GPU space since the 1080Ti or 6800XT. Keep your 3080ti, it'll serve you well for now. Hopefully Morethreads or Intel make something interesting and disrupt the market although it's unlikely. NV and AMD have the GPU spaced fairly locked with IP (and cash reserves) that would drown any competitor in legalese for a millennium. The 7900xtx is a helluva card because it competes with overpriced NVIDIA hw, in any sane world it would be a 7800 class card and priced accordingly. (like the 5080 is actually a 5070)

Does he work for Nvidia? Seems out of character for him.

[psythik@lemmy.world]

Thanks for giving me the idea. BRB, making a keyword filter for the words "slams" and "slammed".

Don't forget blasted and clapped back.

things really started getting bad shortly therafter

Things started getting bad waaaaay earlier than that.

[kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de]

Yeah that does seem a bit weird, my four year old RX 6800 has 16 GB VRAM already

[inferno@lemmy.ml]

Careful now, you might end up with few news posts

[inferno@lemmy.ml]

That doesn't make sense or I'm reading it wrong

He did the wrong thing for the right reasons and hasn’t made many right choices since.

He really ought never have been a hero.

[prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works]

Russia killing him is probably the only thing worse than them having him in the eyes of the USA.

Only we get to persecute/prosecute our own, its a mindset most sovereign nations have fwiw.

Was this written by AI? The headline word salad contains all the buzzwords.

[pacattack57@lemmy.world]

Whistleblows on poor performance is actually insane lol

[alphane_moon@lemmy.world]

No, he had a choice to keep quiet, but instead he chose to support russian genocidal imperialism. That makes him a bad person.

He is a PR win for russia, they are not going to harm him as that would undermine their interests.

[alphane_moon@lemmy.world]

Treating him as a saint; because he revealed the NSA stuff, all his subsequent actions are justified and he should not be subject to criticism.

This is an extremely common view in some part of the English speaking internet.

I reject this approach. As far as I am concerned, I hope him and his family get to experience what they the wish upon Ukrainians in the occupied territories (getting sent to to a torture camp for speaking Ukrainian).
