A free and open source GPU compiled by hands

[-] geography082@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

The free and open source comes with the fact it was hand made ? I don’t get it

[-] Vipsu@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

Would assume that in this case that the gpu was created and assempled using a open blueprint/schematic thats freely available for anyone to see use and modify. Fairly common thing when it comes to stuff like 3d printing where many people freely share their models for others to use.

The joke is in the eye of the beholder, for me it's funny because you have the buzzwords "free and open source" which means you can implement it however you want and the user here decided "fuck it, I will do it by hand".

I don't get it either

It looks like a wire wrapped prototype board of some kind, impossible to tell the purpose from that photo alone though.

I don't know, maybe it's not even a GPU

[-] Pogogunner@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 months ago

Looks like an ISA card to me - might be RAM, but I'm not confident at all

[-] ogeist@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Serious response I agree with Pogo, it looks like a handmade RAM.

some pci-e device. but the main chips are probably on the other side of the board.

  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
