soon they’ll be selling us fake SSDs, fake GPUs, fake CPUs
with rgb though
I need a placebo DDR to fill the DDR-shaped hole in my heart
ACHTUNG!
ALLES TURISTEN UND NONTEKNISCHEN LOOKENSPEEPERS!
DAS KOMPUTERMASCHINE IST NICHT FÜR DER GEFINGERPOKEN UND MITTENGRABEN! ODERWISE IST EASY TO SCHNAPPEN DER SPRINGENWERK,
BLOWENFUSEN UND POPPENCORKEN MIT SPITZENSPARKEN.
IST NICHT FÜR GEWERKEN BEI DUMMKOPFEN. DER RUBBERNECKEN SIGHTSEEREN KEEPEN DAS COTTONPICKEN HÄNDER IN DAS POCKETS MUSS.
ZO RELAXEN UND WATSCHEN DER BLINKENLIGHTS.
I LOVE FAKE GERMANSeriously I laughed so hard at Gefingerpoken, this is so much better than the Dutch-sounding attempts I get up to.
Børken de bling bling.
most of google’s money comes from ads that everyone already blocks, giving black people away to the gestapo, and blowing up brown people; the upper bound of slacktivism was when stadia failed, i don’t expect gamers to suddenly firebomb AI data centres
define everybody, as evidently the ads are still shown to someone. also gmail and youtube. same goes for meta and instagram/whatsapp.
The android Google ships on pixel phones is also full of ads.
It is? I have a pixel and I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ad pushed by the os.
If swipe on my home screen I get articles that are all just ads.
you can remove that by switching to a FOSS launcher like lawnchair or neolauncherDidn’t say it’s impossible to remove.
ads that everyone already blocks
30% of internet users use adblockers[1]
giving black people away to the gestapo, and blowing up brown people
This is a very small part of alphabet revenue. At the end of the day, Google is still a search company above all else.
I’m old enough to remember RDRAM that -required- a blank stick in single-stick systems to terminate the signal.
the retvrn?
What does this have to do with google?
Buying (fake) ram from V Color doesn’t intrinsically mean you support google.
the big social media companies are buying up ram with all the money they get from ads and defense contracts. one would think it would be in the interest of gamers to avoid such a situation.
How exactly do you avoid a giant tech company buying all the ram capacity?
by not giving that company that much power
I mean they already have the power, buying some ram, real or fake, isn’t going to affect that in any way. It’s not like you’re buying it from Google
gamers are the treatlerite lot, they couldn’t even bear the thought of avoiding steam bullshit, same with discord, same with streaming, now they are milked each day of the week, from hardware, software, online playing, ownership. each successive convenience choice led them to this - monopoly of nvidia who don’t give a shit about gpu revenue anymore, ram and ssd prices being blown up by companies they get their treats from, their kids getting gambling addictions from lootboxes
I really doubt the nvidia monopoly was preventable, the gamer who bought every nvidia bullshit graphic card is like 1%, either you bought a nvidia graphic card or you bought a weaker graphic card that would never work properly or you didn’t bought it and gave up with your hobby.
All the others was a convenience that people didn’t think one second in the future, the nvidia one was practically impossible to escape.
eh, in the rx280-580 the choice was not very obvious, and dlss was shit until 3.0-4.0, i legit dunno what people saw. Now the most powerful hoggers, for them the choice was always obvious, and during 1080ti it was mega obvious what to choose. raytracing is still meh-meh tech, works in like 5 games to make them prettier
cuda conquered sciences over 15 years of non stop grants of : use cuda to do stuff and get 50k for grad students, that was a pure masterclass in captivating audience and developing something useful as well
The hardware shortage isn’t a result of gamers being complicit in enshittification like it sounds like you’re trying to say, it’s just capitalism doing its thing to that sector, like it is in many others.
Gamers not buying RAM doesn’t stop companies from actually buying RAM.
I’m paying extra for cases without glass window.
someone patented this
Gamers know you need to run your ram in dual channel to maximize bandwidth
Look we might not get you the ram because of the shortage, but would you like the casing? It sparkles!
