Scumbag company considers scumbag country home...it's a perfect fit.
Fuck you nvidia.
That tracks.
AMD, Intel and Qualcomm all have divisions in Israel too.
Intel has a fab there but aborted their large new Israel fab after the genocide started. AMD has some footprint in Israel too.
What really sets Nvidia apart here is this massive campus and investment during the genocide.
Intel didn’t abort their new facility because of genocide, they could care less. They’re not making money right now so it’s not a good time to expand, and that’s about it.
Politics aside: it's fucking wild that that such a tiny (both geographically and population) nation with water shortages (yes I know about desal) and in prime position to get wrecked by climate change is such a popular spot for so many tech companies.
Also next time Elon or other whines about declining population, we can cite that a nation of ~10M can support so many tech companies.
Bye nvidia forever
well someone has a great eye for reading the room…
wtf - this fool out here actin as if building the sponge for all the worlds electricity wasn’t shitty enuf.
I find it amusing people say they’ll boycott NVIDIA because they set up shop in Israel.
- they set up shop in Israel a long time ago (2016 to the best of my memory)
- all of their competitors also operate in Israel to some degree
If you need discrete graphics you don’t have any choice. They all operate in Israel to some degree.
So a company led by a Taiwanese is supporting the genocide of a people by their bigger, wealthier, stronger neighbour... The irony is palpable.
Yearly reminder the modern Taiwan establishment was birthed by a brutal and repressive authoritarian fascist and their elite are not much different today.
Money talks.
Power corrupts.
oh what a surprise. a corporation doing the thing all capitalists do - exploit.
