  • Really not sure what they actually launched the antitrust probe for; this is just pure political drama lol Edit: Okay, it is possibly because of Android dominance, but again, still a political drama

    It’s not political drama, they were happy to look the other way when there was a quid pro quo. There isn’t one anymore so they enforce their own laws. It’s 2025 not 1825, we’re not right just because we speak English. Although I’m sure a non insignificant portion of the US executive would be more than happy to blockade Beijing and make it rain artillery fire.

    The US was also happy to look the other way when Uyghur slaves were manufacturing components for Apple. It’s just normal geopolitics.











  • 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)
