Can a EULA ban fair use? Google v Oracle might have something to say about this.

Probably depends on your country’s laws. Here in Estonia most EULAs aren’t valid because pressing accept on those isn’t legally binding.

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.

In America, laws can also be used for good. Just not your 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

… 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?

I think it’s about translating cuda to ROCm instructions or something.

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.

ZLUDA originally only supported on Intel since it was designed by an Intel employee, but AMD hired him to make it work for AMD instead. So in a way Intel is somewhat important here.

“How dare you use software on your hardware,” says another worthless gaggle of bastard morons.

Just have Jensen Huang flop his dick out and say CUDA is an anti-competitive tactic. It wouldn’t be less obvious.
