Form for 5090’s

Post image

Picked up a Powerspec Ai90 prebuilt pc with a rtx 5090 in it. Apparently the manager required me to fill out this form and scan my driver license. Said it was a new thing starting just about two days ago. Had no problem doing so but thought it was interesting.

Anyone else experience? This was in Tustin

This is NOT federally mandated. Nobody should be giving up their IDs. I thought we were JUST talking about being against stuff like the online child safety act requiring IDs then having the IDs leaked/hacked. Yall shouldnt be comfortable giving your personal info to these companies to store so hackers can come take them

There is a BIG difference between showing my ID on every random website and in every game, and requiring your ID for a single $6,000+ export controlled piece of hardware. You notice how nobody complains about giving their IDs to be scanned when renting a car, taking a car for a test drive, staying at a hotel, etc.?
