A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

... It's legitimately kind of funny that this is a valid mistake to make now, haha.

I'm still kind of upset that they're AMD graphics cards now, instead of just being ATI cards. It's kind of confusing, especially since the CPU and GPU naming schemes are quite similar.

Defnitely, and with Intel changing their naming scheme yet again I don't know how the hell we as a consumer will follow their garbage system. Not to mention NVIDIA having the same name on cards with different power levels like 3050 95w, 75w etc. It's trying to confuse and trick the consumers at this point.
