Not quite the 3 days after release predicted in the original thread, but impressive and entirely unsurprising nonetheless.



I got my first even downvotes for suggestion that it would be rapidly cracked in that thread, followed by a lot of 'Nvidia is full of smart people' comments.

There always seems to be a persistent optimism for the effectiveness of this kind of thing. For example how long DRM or anti-piracy methods on games will be effective for.


It wasn't cracked. Nvidia released a driver which didn't do the restriction.


Either they're smart enough to "accidentally" release that driver, or they're actually "smart" enough to accidentally release the driver.


Wait till you meet google engineers here, who say "we give a lot of thought, and we know better" Here on HN I frequently notice that people fail to recognise, end of day, to err is human. Agendas change.


> Nvidia is full of smart people

If that were truly the case I wouldn't have to deal with multiple fuck ups caused by Nvidia releasing drivers with improper signing (windows seems fine with it, but virtualbox runs into issues with it due to hardening checks.)
