This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Adversaries who are being treated to lower tarriffs than allies.
Cooked country.
This is absolutely insane and no one will want to buy those GPUs.
Just like nobody is buying the current generation because it's insane, right?
Yeah if you think most people are going to care or even know about this, you haven't been paying attention to the last 20 years.
Have some faith bud.
Faith in what? The unending march to tech dystopia?
Unless, of course, they're in all the GPUs that people want.
...It's unfortunately more likely that the majority of people won't notice or care, though.
Ah yes let's try to stifle Chinese innovation by ... checks notes ... expanding our surveillance state. Usually we are the ones calling China a surveillance state, but it's fine(it's not) once we do it.
Yeah. All the FUD about Huawei really solidified in my mind how stupid the average internet user is these days.
It's like, everything they were bitching about has already been confirmed to be happening with US companies thanks to PRISM and the Snowden leaks.
There is nothing more American than hipocracy my friend
Bruh... Literally 1984
Oh Senator Know-Nothing....
What are you going to do about firewalls and air-gapped networks? JFK you stupid asshole... GTFO
Next up GPUs require always-on connections and Nvidia requires a monthly subscription to pay for that.
For just $19.99 a month you can have us track your GPU*, or choose the premium ad-free upgrade for just $149.99 a months, so you can enjoy your favorite games without ad breakes.

Between this, the tarrifs and the brain drain, why would any manufacturers consider operating in the US anymore?
They'll still want access to Americans coz there are profits to be had, and they can price gouge under a fascist kleptocracy many orders of magnitude harder than elsewhere.
What they don't understand is that the fascist leadership will backstab many/most of them eventually, especially if they possess any moral fiber whatsoever. Luckily for them, capitalism has already purged corporate leadership of morality and ethics.
i wish you were wrong so fuckin bad :(
But if we don't have as much money due to increased prices on life essentials and assistance cuts, how are we supposed to buy all these things? Bad logic on their part, if this is their approach.
There is no bottom. They'll continue crushing the working class all the way to slavery and feudalism.
Stop expecting logic. MAGA and fascism is a severely psychotic mental illness that is empirically a dead end. A death cult.
There's no real push for that to happen. This is about crashing an economy, stealing wealth and creating a a massive almost slave labor class at the bottom.
Senator Tom Cotton
Ah. Yeah, that tracks.
Care to tell more?
Famously he declared that slavery was justified because it was necessary to create the US:
IMHO there are a few, very few, things that Usa should forbid their own people to say.
Glorifying slavery might be one of them. But sadly they are not ready for that, yet.
...okay, so invest in Chinese GPU companies? Invest in Chinese GPU companies.
I looked into those recently, actually expected the GPUs to be a lot farther behind than they are. The things that are really pushing them back are the drivers and the outdated process node, but there are already GPUs comparable to the lower end current generation cards from the 3 big manufacturers on paper (and even those have 16GB of VRAM, Nvidia 😤).
They’re a loooooong way off being able to match any nvida card from the last like 7 years, at least.
You have been dead wrong with every reply. Why are you still trying?
I have him tagged. I see him everywhere, and continues to be wrong all the time. No idea why she even spends her time doing this.
I can't imagine this would be effective at all. Assuming it uses GPS, big datacenters could simply spoof the GPS signal, and consumers could block the GPU from receiving the signal (a fully metal PC case is almost a Faraday cage already).
Why would they make their own products illegal in Europe?
That's some weird shit
People will just make custom firmware and drivers.
Or desolder the gps module
It would be wonderful if this pushes develpment of noveau drivers. But i don't get my hopes up...
INB4 the US outlaws Free Software drivers and mandates DRM and locked firmware in all new PCs.
How would that even work? But aside from that, I should probably upgrade my GPU before this goes into effect, even if the GPU I want will probably not be affected.
I'd back up as many versions of the drivers as well (different oses, different releases). I feel like this will be implemented drm style with forced network connections baked in the drivers
Yeah, that's the only way I can see this work. I use Linux with the Mesa drivers, that are part of the kernel, anyway, so there's not really a need for me to make driver backups.
I use Linux
Believe it or not, straight to CECOT.
Just did the same. My pc was 7 years old. This may be my final ever upgrade.
Thanks but no thanks!
This will surely complete the final step of the master plan - the world craves those superior American made goods.
