The smart ones will be unaffected as nouveau, as distributed through package managers, remains unaffected.
And the really smart ones don't even have nvidia hardware to begin with.
Sucks to suck.
they gonna stop the mirror operators that reside outside those areas yet serve them?
Some of you may rejoice in unison because of this but this creates a dangerous precedence for other countries. At any time Nvidia can just brick computers at whichever country they decide to. This situation shouldn't be taken lightly.
Just buy an AMD card and use linux.
I do lol.
But now you're forcing an entire country to use AMD and Linux, while ignoring the main issue. Pretty much one of the biggest computer companies who have their fists on a good chunk of our nation's balls, and can choose to squeeze them at any time.

UPD: as of right now, the access isn't blocked in any way.
It is still unclear whether or not the block was intentional, Nvidia gave no comments.
