Comment on Nvidia blocks access to video card driver updates for users from Russia and Belarus.

Some of you may rejoice in unison because of this but this creates a dangerous precedence for other countries. At any time Nvidia can just brick computers at whichever country they decide to. This situation shouldn’t be taken lightly.
The average Lemmy user operates with „USA good, Russia bad, Democrats good, Republicans ban, especially Trump TERRIBLE BAD“ so you‘ll be downvoted
But 2020-2024 showed us that United States of North America have no moral compass. And any North American company will do whatever it needs to in order to support the military industrial complex and the interests of North America.
Then North America will claim that they “care about human rights”.
That’s probably why I’m getting downvoted. Users who are downvoting, feel free to elaborate. The way I see it Nvidia can just brick all the computers in [insert some of your favorite countries] and nobody will really stop them.
Some of the downvotes could be because you saying they can brick them is sensationalized when they only disabled updates.

Just buy an AMD card and use linux.

I do lol.
But now you’re forcing an entire country to use AMD and Linux, while ignoring the main issue. Pretty much one of the biggest computer companies who have their fists on a good chunk of our nation’s balls, and can choose to squeeze them at any time.
