Yep, called it. Prepare to logon to BezosNet on your amzthin client with your eye scan and fingerprint and video (on at all times to keep The Children safe of course).
They will just ban your forms of payment for computer hardware so they own all the compute and information. Hold on to your books people.
As much as I dislike Amazon, this looks like 1 user having the issue. Tim Sweeney is on Bezos’ side and wants to rent compute time to us plebs. I doubt his canceled order of 2 GPUs means anything other than an attempt to get us to think he’s on our side. I think our future involves owning nothing and being happy, but that will probably be after Nvidia and Amazon collude to keep the hardware from us, not Amazon refusing to sell Nvidia’s latest tech.
No i don’t think so. Some time ago on one of Zitron podcast episodes the other guy noticed that one of GPU vendors started requiring ID for GPU purchases. Their guess at that time was that it’s about export controls
If they started banning people who buy lots of GPUs as a way of shutting down scalpers, that’s something I might be able to support…
Happened to me, too. Ordered GPU from Amazon some time ago, was supposed to be on the way, then got a mail that “something happened” with it. We were asked if we wanted to cancel the order, but at that time the price was more than 60% over the price I ordered it for, so I did not cancel.
Later on, they got new stock, and the price actually dropped below my order price, so I placed another order, actually got the card, and finally cancelled the old order.
Amazon is a horrifically unethical company. Why is anyone trying to buy anything from them in the first place?
Because I’m very poor and Amazon is cheap? Like, if you don’t want products produced with human suffering you have to pay a pretty sizable premium.
Maybe you’re an exception, but how much of the consumer goods you buy do you actually know how ethically sourced they are?
People buying multi-thousand dollar graphics cards are wealthy enough to not buy from Amazon, though.
Have fun trying to get every competitor to join you on this psychotic tactic. And if you are successful it preventing people from getting computers, you give people no reason to give a shit about these places that produce them. For America that is…
