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.
Weird timing
Yes, especially in light of the Linux thing this morning
Yeah, along with this I am suspecting there's been a "suggested interpretation" from western governments to large orgs.

They should give access to one last update that displays "Fuck Putin" on your screen at all times
Am I going crazy or is that the framework ceo in that stock photo?
Nirav Patel
He used to work at nVidia, so this is very possible it's him. They do look very similar.
That sounds good and all, but the ones aho are really affected are the powerless people.
That's the objective or they learn to overthrow their shit leader of they don't get western tech

Oh nyoo, they'll have to use the open source ones!!
Haven't the common folk been through enough?
/s
(And the open sauce nVidia drivers got actually completely viable, great effort & results)
They could still just download the official drivers straight from the NVIDIA website with a VPN. Or from a mirror without one.
Did NVIDIA stop selling videocards in Russia? The article doesn't mention it.

they gonna stop the mirror operators that reside outside those areas yet serve them?
The smart ones will be unaffected as nouveau, as distributed through package managers, remains unaffected.
And the really smart ones don't even have nvidia hardware to begin with.
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.
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.
