   NVIDIA's graphics drivers include telemetry and artificially slow the execution of algorithms they don't like. In other words, they're defective by design. https://u.fsf.org/3ij

     @endDRM preventing a graphics card from mining Ethereum in the hope that gamers might be able to afford it seems only marginally evil, tbh. You know, under capitalism and all that.

     @endDRM Don't think slowing down some algorithms belongs to that.
     For me it's like denatured alcohol, making the product worse so you can sell it for some use case.
