Imagine paying 2000+ on a GPU only for it to be bricked ☠️
@adith-m7y
At this point Intel should step up game and release sub $400-$500 cards
@ownageDan
the killswitch is already in - it's called 12vhpwr
@Vintagesonic1
Our graphics cards are even spyware now. 😭
@richardratajczyk3561
Some machines have gps built-in so if you sell them out of country they stop working that was 20 plus years ago

This could NEVER be abused EVER by ANYBODY. I have TOTAL confidence in this plan 100%

Nvidia: adds kill switch China: Just unplugs Internet before kill switch activates
@saturnv1970
I cant wait for some hacker to come in and disable my gpu for no reason
@SuperBloopie
Absolutely not. I paid for it; if I want to leave it on and let it infect, it should be my choice to do so. Not someone else’s. They’re just taking away choices.
@jim99hazim76
The kill switch is the 12 pin cable that catch fire
@CrimsonGamer99
accidentally clicks China in my VPN My GPU: "im boutta blow 😩"
@flamityy
A kill switch on GPU’s could be bad for people potentially in North America if it means we all get the same card as China.

The ryzen 4070 is still always available.

What's funny is tech, even gaming consoles, have been subject to export laws for a long time... even the PS2 was a restricted export at one point when it launched. There are even portions of the developer agreements (and purchase sites) that you have to verify the order isn't going to be sent to countries on the list. It gets funnier when you realize some of the tech systems that are on the US export ban list are manufactured (in whole or in part) in China and are simply rerouted via places like Japan, Taiwan, etc...

This is already a feature in some cars, ex a new corvette has a ‘feature’ where the chip disables the car if you attempt to modify the engine Also One star or something also has this feature that shuts it down if it gets stolen or hijacked And the government is terrible at making quick decisions and controlling the public, i mean it takes months to get some returns back on taxes let alone handling healthcare
@levlzr
It used to be the US claiming Chinese products have trackers and weird stuff on it now the US want to do it too 😂
@fluffyx1556
AMD: affordable gaming cards Nvidia: time bombs with a remote detonator I thought it was apparent to everyone that this was a joke but it's now started a war in the comments
@KadaverKaBooma
a kill switch wouldn’t work unless it was built into the silicon itself, because if it wasn’t, people can just use a soldering stuff to get it off
@potato_gun_god
Oh boy, I'm so glad I took up software engineering. I'm gonna have so much fun jailbreaking a bunch or random shit. My skill set will be invaluable
