They can prohibit whatever they want, but how enforceable is it? Does Nvidia intend to play whack a mole by checking for translation layers?

Who said anything about heroes? Villains sometimes want to stop other villains, too. In fact, probably often.
You took my comment too seriously, it was just a joke.
But you also singled out Intel. Corporations aren’t heroes in general and AMD is also there. And EU is depicted as the villain, although it’s implied it’s the hero in the context of the meme.
Save us, EU. You’re our only hope. Sincerely, USA
This keeps happening—can you lot make some laws for a change?
Edit: oh wait not like that
It’s cool I fixed it now.
America, moments after outlawing IVF
Just as an aside, I’m an American that emigrated to Canada. My province (BC) is currently passing a law to make one attempt at IVF free for everyone (starting midyear in 2025)… laws actually can be used for good.
Actually probably not. Not without major concessions. The pound will have to go which they will never accept unless they have absolutely no other choice
Yeah fuck this.
… What’s a translation layer?
Got a Windows app you want to run on Linux? Wine and Proton are well known translation layers.
I guess Graphics Cards are similar. CUDA is basically the NVIDIA equivalent of .exe I think.
Cuda is an Nvidia specific method for using a graphics card to do computation (not just graphics), like physics simulations.
Translation layers would let you use software designed for other graphics cards to work with Cuda, or to let Cuda software work on other graphics cards
So nvidia designed something and they don’t want other companies to use it?
If translation layer can be banned with EULA how is wine not dead yet? M$ loves Linux or what?
I’m willing to bet that Linux is irrelevant to Microsoft. It doesn’t threaten them, Microsoft has it’s core business elsewhere
“…because it makes us money” could be put at the end of any slogan to make it 100% honest.
