Why now? Does it actually do something?

Some tech scantions from when the war started went into effect. Allowing access to Russians is now a complicated legal risk. Even Linux was forced to block devs.

Must prevent them from training drone operators on PC's with Nvidia. Of course there's no other way they can get those drivers. The program is operated by 10yo sim players. They won't be able to use Tor or VPNs or proxies. This is a very smart plan to optimize manpower, but Nvidia is smarter. Smarrrrt!

If, I have learned anything from YouTube it’s that if a multi trillion dollar international mega conglomerate doesn’t want you to have it, no matter how impossible it may seem they can stop you from getting it they just need enough market incentives.

This could just be one small step in a much larger plan or it could be placating the United States government whose to say.
