>since Nvidia let you use regular GPUs for research which end up cheaper than cloud GPUs. Funfact, that's illegal in Europe, producers have no right to tell you what to do with their products and your property.

While you own the hardware you don't own the software necessary to make use of it, just a license.

  Yes and? Most US TOS's are illegal in the EU anyway. Cant make money with your Gamer-Card? Well then all let's players on youtube have a problem.

I swear, every thread has at least one European bragging about something ridiculous like "fun fact, murder is illegal in Europe" without spending 10 seconds to check if it's also illegal in the US. Yes, we have property rights in the US. No, it's not obvious whether buying the hardware also gives you a license to use Nvidia's CUDA libraries without any limitations. Nobody has tested this in court. Personally, I've got many consumer GPUs in my data center. If Nvidia doesn't like that, they can sue me. Username is real name.

Is it really though? The biggest country in Europe is Russia, also the biggest population is Russians living inside Russia. Maybe you meant the EU which is far from being all of Europe. It is not even half of Europe. There are 23 countries out of 44 in Europe that aren't in the EU. If you talk law then a small detail like that matters a lot.

    European Russia accounts for about 75% of Russia's total population. It covers an area of over 3,995,200 square kilometres (1,542,600 sq mi), with a population of nearly 110 million—making Russia the largest and most populous country in Europe. European Russia covers the vast majority of Eastern Europe, and spans roughly 40% of Europe's total landmass, with over 15% of its total population, making Russia the largest and most populous country in Europe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Russia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Russia
