I'm reminded of IBM's dealings with the Nazis.
Everyone’s reminder that the number tattoos were the victim’s immutable IBM database IDs!
Horrible ethics. Excellent database query optimization.
Well, I did have a drink, but now it's everywhere.
It's a stretch to blame NVIDIA for someone buying their hardware off of a shelf and using it for something shitty. It'd be like blaming Sony if it was found that child abuse rings prefer to use their cameras.
That was pretty much IBM's excuse, if I recall correctly. Then it turned out IBM execs were well aware of who was buying their equipment and for what purpose…
Yeah this really is an on Nvidia, it's like someone buying a TV and then watching torture or something on it.
You have got to be kidding me. The company’s name is Hick Vision??
Yes, It is typically pronounced "hike-vision" though.
Because some marketing person realized it was a really bad idea to call a company Hick Vision, but it was too late to stop the founders from doing so?
It's a Chinese name for a Chinese company.
Just an English transliteration of part of their Chinese name "hǎi kāng wēi shì"
I'm surprised you hadn't heard of them before. They're the largest security camera manufacturer in the world, rebranded under a bunch of different brand names. It's likely you walk past many of their security cameras every day. The majority of security cameras are either Hikvision or Dahua.
A reason why you should never give Internet access to those shitty cameras.
Now if HikVision was only to show all the proud racists where their ancestors are really from.....
