Sucks to suck.

UPD: as of right now, the access isn't blocked in any way.

It is still unclear whether or not the block was intentional, Nvidia gave no comments.

That will show BRICS countries what not to buy.

Cus they can't access SWIFT, ofc they can't buy.

Besides, China is working on their own GPU/NPU/ASIC production line.

Russia (vassal state) x China (dommy mommy state).

This has no sense

They will just come up with a new Runix OS with Ruvidia drivers. It might be like the time the Germans invented modern rocketry, the pulse engine and the turbine engine.

It's relatively bad news maybe. Same in China.

I'm sure they'll try, just like they tried to copy IBM mainframes, the IBM pc, the Apollo program, and nuclear power.

They're too stupid to do it, you see, all the smart soviets who were capable of thinking were from Ukraine, which is why they're designing Hunter killer drones in a cave with a box of scraps.

Russians without Ukrainians can't invent anything, which is why the t14 and su57 aren't in Ukraine, the semhat exploded on the pad (which would be hilarious if it had a payload), and they're just generally pathetic failures at everything else.

I sure hope this is the case. I know for sure that China will try very hard to develop technology as the world sort of closes access to high tech. I assume Russia will try too. Unfortunately that's how innovation happens sometimes. Extreme limitations lead to extreme efficiency if the other option is total failure.

China will succeed, over time.

Russia? Never has, never will.

There aren't many uses where discrete v-cards are needed now and where integrated won't be enough. Machine learning, content editing, engineering and science, mostly. So besides making purchased v-cards less effective or useless, it aims at top consumers, industry, may it be media or production facilities, including MIC. Ah, and gamers, the most opressed minority.

Why bother when these blocks are so easily circumvented with VPN?

Yeah, but so are Russians, so it works out.
