The article doesn't mention it, but software devs are gamers. Cryptomining has made video cards expensive and hard to get, so that along with sheer brain deadness of building a system built around wasting electricity... anger seems like an appropriate reaction

- orwin 4y agoI'm not a gamer, my only usage of Gpu is Cuda basically. Still angers me.
- MadeThisToReply 4y agoI don't play videogames and know very little about crypto mining, but isn't the mining being done on specialised hardware these days and not GPUs? Are GPUs still being wasted on crypto nonsense?
- Tcepsa 4y agoGiven the continuing high price of video cards these days, I'm going to say yes, many people are still leveraging GPUs for mining. EDIT: Maybe not as much as previously, but still enough to have a noticeable impact on the market.
