And how do they plan to do this? even if they add (GPS) tracking hardware the Chinese will just cut the connection to the Antenna and the GPU is gone. If they do it in software (like driver) it will just be patched out.

How would that even work? But aside from that, I should probably upgrade my GPU before this goes into effect, even if the GPU I want will probably not be affected.

Just did the same. My pc was 7 years old. This may be my final ever upgrade.

This will surely complete the final step of the master plan - the world craves those superior American made goods.

Once China takes the semiconductor crown, the US isn't getting it back.

Glad I get to be alive to witness communism beat capitalism. While the US ruling class wastes its money on dumb shit like "space tourism," the Chinese ruling class has been investing vehemently into its own populace.

And of course the miraculous Chinese GPUs won't have any tracking inside, none at all!
