All Money Probably Went Into Nvidia GPUs

Running Postgres at scale for 800 million users while conveniently forgetting to contribute back to the open-source project that's literally holding your entire infrastructure together? Classic move. PostgreSQL is one of those legendary open-source databases that powers half the internet—from Instagram to Spotify—yet somehow companies rake in billions while the maintainers survive on coffee and GitHub stars. The goose's awkward retreat is basically every tech company when you ask about their open-source contributions. They'll spend $50 million on GPU clusters for their "revolutionary AI chatbot" but can't spare $10k for the database that's been rock-solid since before some of their engineers were born. The PostgreSQL team literally enables trillion-dollar valuations and gets... what, a shoutout in the docs? Fun fact: PostgreSQL doesn't even have a corporate sponsor like MySQL (Oracle) or MongoDB. It's maintained by a volunteer community and the PostgreSQL Global Development Group. So yeah, maybe toss them a few bucks between your next GPU shipment.

This Count As One Of Those Walmart Steals I've Been Seeing

Someone found an RTX 5080 marked down to $524.99 at Walmart. That's a $475 discount on a GPU that literally just launched. Either the pricing system had a stroke, some employee fat-fingered the markdown, or the universe briefly glitched in favor of gamers for once. Your machine learning models could finally train at reasonable speeds. Your ray tracing could actually trace rays without your PC sounding like a jet engine. But mostly, you'd just play the same indie games you always do while this beast idles at 2% usage. The real programming challenge here is figuring out how to justify this purchase to your significant other when your current GPU works "just fine" for running VS Code.

580 Is The Most Important Number For GPUs

You know that friend who always name-drops their "high-end gaming rig"? Yeah, they casually mention having "something 580" and you're immediately picturing them rendering 4K gameplay at 144fps with ray tracing maxed out. Plot twist: they're flexing an Intel ARC B580 (Intel's adorable attempt at discrete GPUs), but you're thinking they've got an AMD RX 580—a respectable mid-range card from 2017 that can still hold its own in 1080p gaming. Reality check? They're actually running a GTX 580 from 2010, a card so ancient it predates the first Avengers movie. That's Fermi architecture, folks. The thing probably doubles as a space heater. The beauty here is how GPU naming schemes have created the perfect storm of confusion. Three different manufacturers, three wildly different performance tiers, same number. It's like saying you drive "a 2024" and leaving everyone guessing whether it's a Ferrari or a golf cart.

Not A 5090 But Thanks Mom

When you ask for the latest gaming GPU but mom comes through with a $10,000 professional workstation card instead. The RTX 6000 is literally more expensive and powerful than the 5090, but gamers gonna game and nothing else matters. It's like asking for a sports car and getting a Lamborghini tractor—technically superior engineering, but where's the street cred? The Blackwell architecture RTX 6000 is an absolute beast for AI training, 3D rendering, and professional workloads, but you can't exactly flex it in your Discord gaming setup channel. Mom basically handed you the keys to a data center and you're upset you can't run Cyberpunk at 500fps.

Old News But Made A Meme

NVIDIA really said "you know what, let's bring back the 3060" ten days after discontinuing the 5070 Ti. The 3060 got resurrected while the 5070 Ti is getting a proper burial. Talk about product lineup chaos. The funeral meme format captures it perfectly—someone's mourning the RTX 5070 Ti that barely had a chance to exist in production, while casually presenting the RTX 3060 like it's the guest of honor at its own wake. Nothing says "strategic product planning" quite like killing off your new card and zombie-walking your old budget king back into the lineup. GPU manufacturers and their discontinuation schedules remain undefeated in creating confusion. At least the 3060 gets another lap around the track.

The GPU arms race has officially jumped the shark. Someone took the absurdity of tech enthusiasts constantly recommending overkill hardware and ran with it—literally creating a graphics card with approximately 25+ fans and a model number that looks like someone fell asleep on the 9 key. The "ROG ASTRAL PROTOS" (because we definitely needed another ROG variant) features the legendary "ASUS 999999999999990 Ti" paired with the "RTX 100010009 Ti Super Ultra Pro Pro Max Mega Hyper"—a naming scheme that perfectly captures how NVIDIA and Apple had a baby and it inherited the worst traits from both parents. The "billion pt vram" spec is *chef's kiss*—because why stop at terabytes when you can measure your VRAM in petabytes? At this point, you could probably run Crysis, host the entire internet, and simulate the universe simultaneously. But hey, according to Reddit, anything less and you're basically coding on a potato. Can't run "Hello World" without ray tracing these days.

End Of Life For A Few Nvidia Models

Nothing says "planned obsolescence" quite like Nvidia casually yeeting perfectly good GPUs into the abyss. These RTX 50-series cards barely had time to collect dust before Nvidia decided they're done supporting them. Classic tech giant move—drop support faster than you can say "driver update." For developers and ML engineers who just dropped a kidney's worth of cash on these cards, watching Nvidia toss them aside like yesterday's garbage hits different. You're still paying off the credit card, and they're already pretending your hardware doesn't exist. The Toy Story format captures that exact moment when you realize your expensive hardware investment just became a very pricey paperweight. Woody's desperate plea perfectly mirrors every dev's internal screaming when their production server's GPU suddenly becomes unsupported legacy hardware.

In Light Of The Recent Jensen Huang Complaint And His Contributions To The Current State Of Tech

Jensen Huang really out here catching strays for making GPUs so expensive that Microsoft and Nvidia became household names for draining corporate budgets. But you know what? The man deserves credit where credit is due. He didn't just create a tech company—he created "Microslop Nshitia," the beautiful merger of bloated software and overpriced hardware that perfectly encapsulates modern tech. Your AI model needs 8 H100s to run? That'll be the GDP of a small nation, thanks. Want to train anything? Better get that enterprise license from Microsoft Azure while you're at it. It's the perfect ecosystem: Microsoft provides the cloud infrastructure to burn money, and Nvidia provides the GPUs to set that money on fire even faster. The Drake meme format really captures the vibe—rejecting the individual corporate overlords but fully embracing their unholy alliance. Because if you're gonna get fleeced, might as well get fleeced by the dream team.

PC Gamers When They Ask Jensen Why He's Making Less GPUs With RGB

Jensen Huang and Nvidia have quietly pivoted from selling RGB-laden gaming GPUs to becoming an AI datacenter empire worth trillions. That revenue chart tells the whole story—gaming revenue is basically a rounding error now compared to the datacenter money printer. PC gamers are out here begging for affordable GPUs with pretty lights while Jensen's counting his AI billions and couldn't care less about your 240fps dreams. The leather jacket man realized that selling one H100 to OpenAI is worth more than selling a thousand RTX 4090s to gamers who just want to play Cyberpunk with ray tracing. Sorry gamers, but you've been dumped for a more profitable relationship with enterprise clients who actually pay without complaining about MSRP.

Never Even Held A Baby Like This

Look at this man cradling his RTX GPU like it's his firstborn child at the hospital. The gentle support, the tender gaze, the protective stance—this is PURE paternal instinct kicking in. And honestly? Can you blame him? That thing probably cost more than an actual baby's first year of diapers and has better cooling than most nurseries. The way he's holding it with both hands, making sure not to touch the PCB, checking for any shipping damage—this is the kind of care and devotion that brings a tear to your eye. Meanwhile, his actual future children are somewhere in the void wondering why dad never looked at them with such unconditional love and concern. Fun fact: The RTX 4090 weighs about 4.5 pounds, which is roughly the same as a newborn baby. Coincidence? I think not. Nature is healing.

Linus Torvalds Repo

Linux Git Hardware Windows Programming

Someone claiming to be a "computer programmer of 40 years" just stumbled onto GitHub, discovered Linus Torvalds, and wants Windows support with Nvidia drivers for... the Linux kernel. The "NT kernel" search, the "Good things in life are never free" quote, using an Nvidia card for their CPU—this reads like the most elaborate troll post ever written or someone who genuinely thinks GitHub is a Windows software download site. The beautiful irony? They're asking the creator of Linux—a guy who famously said "NVIDIA, f*** you" on stage—for Windows support on his AudioNoise repo. It's like walking into a vegan restaurant and demanding they add more bacon to their menu because you heard the chef was good at cooking. The username "computerexpert88" is just *chef's kiss*. Nothing screams expertise like demanding build instructions for a Windows executable from a Linux kernel maintainer's hobby project. Someone's colleagues are having a good laugh right now.
