Good to see another miner add a voice.
nV needs to know there’s real money at stake.
@wpierce and @nadeemm are we reaching $$ figures that matter yet or is it still OK to keep pissing on your user base?
Miners, ML researchers, and soon more and more gamers (Steamdeck for ex. is Linux based, other “consoles” coming may also be as well as desktop Linux gaming is increasing.)
Are you content to tell all these users to go f themselves? Is your leadership and are your sales teams content with that as well?
Over something so easily fixed that you could probably give it to a Summer of Code intern??
Either you’re not taking all of us seriously or you’re just ineffective at communicating this up the ladder.
Either way you need to get yourself in gear or maybe you should just drop this whole thread on some upper management’s desk (maybe even Jensen himself) so we can get some results.
You’re pissing off a lot of ppl and pissing away a TON of goodwill that may not come back quite so easily. Things are generally good now but stocks don’t ONLY go up,
QE will end, interest rates will rise and the consumer won’t always be so flush with cash. That leaves industry.
And if miners are seeing the problem, it’s only a matter of time before HPC, Dell/EMC and other large scale renderfarm ops start seeing the problem too.
At some point the loss of goodwill WILL be back to bite you all in the ass.
Maybe not in this cycle but it will catch up with you eventually.
Intel thought that they could ride high on the hog forever when they were on top. Karma, in the form of AMD, ARM and Apple put a hurtin’ on that ass and now Intel plays catch up including shake ups in the C-suite.
Keep this myopic and lazy view of your clients and Karma will eventually show up and bitch-slap nVidia as well.
Make no mistakes, the Red koolaid is quite tasty too. Soon we will have also Blue koolaids to choose from as well.
All these punch bowls and Green starts to look more like a fading memory every day (with profits that will fade as well.) I’m curious how that sits in Jensen’s outlook for the company.
Over something so easily and readily fixed.
