What am I looking at?
A free and open source GPU compiled by hands
The free and open source comes with the fact it was hand made ? I don’t get it
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
Looks like an ISA card to me - might be RAM, but I'm not confident at all
Did you see the pic of the front?

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.
