Re: In Linux, "freedom" means you have no freedom but to bow to Stallman.
The nvidia repository is actually provided by RPM Fusion, so I don't think you need to worry too much about them being sidelined.

Not just China...
I'm a teacher in Beirut, and I've seen this over and over with regular flash drives. Students come in with no-name brand USB flash drives, try to copy a file larger than a few hundred megs, and when they try to access it, it's corrupted.
The drive always reports having the full size available, so there's no way of telling that it's a ripoff until you actually try read the data. I've come to recommend that my students buy name-brand USB flash drives from known retailers.
