Gamer finds a latex thimble tucked away in his GeForce RTX 3090 Founders Edition
Recently we reported that a user discovered the thermal PADs covered still present of his graphics card, this time NVIDIA, founder card shows something weird. In the category weird stuff, you can find in a graphics cards inside.
A latex thimble, which is meant to shield the graphics card from fingerprint marks while it is being constructed, has been left behind by one of the factory's employees. Ordinarily, this wouldn't be an issue, if it weren't for the fact that it was discovered between two memory modules and the heat sink, resulting in temperature spikes of up to 110 °C.
The latex thimble was discovered by Reddit user "antonyjeweet" as he decided to replace the thermal PADs. Thermal PADs have been replaced on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Founders Edition cards since they run hot. While the temperature of the memory is within specifications, heat that is not efficiently transported through the system has an effect on the temperature of the GPU, which is considerably closer to memory with the RTX 30 Ampere series than with the RTX 20 Ampere series.

I would say a joke about what you stated, but I'll let the inuendo at bay.
No, it's not, it's a finger "glove" all those people on the assembly line have to wear those.
Smartphone repair techs also wear those. I wore those on my fingers when I repaired smartphones.
First and foremost, those prevent human skin contact on chips, screens or whatever sensitive electronic parts.
Second, when repairing, one doesn't want to touch a foreign smartphone directly on one's skin, a smartphone or a keyboard are infinitely dirtier that your average toilet seat.

every time I hear Dutch language it sounds to me like how a Finnish native who heard a few sentences of English would try to imitate it.
