A complete and systematic take down of #nvidia 's persistent failures, lies and strong-arming of reviewers: blog.sebin-nyshkim.net/posts/n F*ck nvidia, I hope when this #AI bubble pops, the remaining rubble gets bought by, I don't know, the f*cking ghost of 3Dfx.

Games have only got slower and more expensive to play in the last 10 years, every major release beyond 2015 has been basically inaccessible to me and there's going to be a massive geological gap in games that are unplayable due to online-only BS, the AI collapse and fascist America's sabotage of the economy ending "faster and cheaper" for good.

Crysis was made for single-core systems under the assumption that single-core performance would increase forever. It didn't and the game is still tough to run even now. Games written assuming 5090 performance will be as difficult to run in 10 years as they are now, but for very different reasons.

Sebin's BlogNVIDIA is full of shitSince the disastrous launch of the RTX 50 series, NVIDIA has been unable to escape negative headlines: scalper bots are snatching GPUs away from consumers before official sales even begin, power connectors continue to melt, with no fix in sight, marketing is becoming increasingly deceptive, GPUs are missing processing units when they leave the factory, and the drivers, for which NVIDIA has always been praised, are currently falling apart. And to top it all off, NVIDIA is becoming increasingly insistent that media push a certain narrative when reporting on their hardware.

#NewYork Invests $40M to Launch #EmpireAI Beta with #NVIDIA Blackwell #Supercomputer
#EmpireAIBeta will be 11x more powerful than current capacity, allowing hundreds of researchers from 10 institutions to continue to advance #AI research. Empire AI is now backed by over $500M in public and private funding, including up to $340M in state funds.

Rekordjagd an der Börse: Nvidia kurzzeitig wertvollster Konzern aller Zeiten

Nur drei Monate nach dem Kursrutsch wegen Trumps Zöllen läuft wieder eine Rekordjagd. Davon profitiert vor allem Nvidia, mit gleich zwei Rekorden in Reichweite.

#Wayland on #Debian Testing on my PC with #NVIDIA GTX 970 has never worked. I just used #Xorg instead, but there now seem to be solid rumors that Xorg support is going away soon, so I figured I should probably file a bug.
I did `reportbug mutter-common` (my best guess for where to put Wayland bugs) and it said there were newer packages in experimental did I want to try them before reporting the bug?
So I did `apt -t experimental dist-upgrade`, and lo and behold, Wayland works now.
Nice.
