    I bet this will be out into a military plane and it’ll brick while flying over China or close to it. The genius of these people cannot be understated. Imagine, if they’re saying this publicly, I bet you they have this in existing military equipment they are selling to partners. Anybody buying military equipment from the US is asking for trouble.

      Nvidia make shit-tonne from selling to China, so long as they can still sell to China, they will make whatever is allowed to be sent there. New restrictions? New cards get created to fit.

    Yeah, that’s not a potential for abuse… both by the “good guys” 🙄 and everyone else.

      Once every GPU hacker in the world starts dumping their free time on a challenge like this, you can expect that a vulnerability will be discovered and exploited. Imagine, there’s a virus just waiting for the order to brick your GPU? How about you use that virus to attack a specific country, city or even an individual politician whose proposals you don’t agree with. The possibilities are endless!

      Everything is hackable. It’s just a matter of knowing how to do it.

    This is a surveillance state and this man should be run out of town or stoned for suggesting such authoritarian nonsense. Such deranged overreach is disgusting the the duty of everyone to fight against.

    I was just thinking that we should hand over the ability to brick our technology to US politicians. Seeing as how they aren’t all horrible pieces of shit.

    If you think China or the Internet in general can’t crack whatever stupid DRM you have planned, you’ll be really disappointed.
