How the fuck does this protect kids? Adjusting graphics settings? Why not bar them from adjusting volume while they're at it.
wow, wow there. no loud music after 8. If the nightstand mic doesn't pick up the nightly potus prayer, your front door is getting bust open
You can download the Nvidia driver directly from their website
People who care about privacy wouldn’t use the Nvidia app. (And wouldn’t be on Windows)
Zoomers can’t be bothered to spell Nvidia correctly. I wouldn’t let ‘em install my drivers either 🥲
gen z is pushing 30 btw
For the curious 1997-2012 28-13
This happens all the time. I still see what I call boomers (likely younger than actual boomers) call gen z millennials constantly. The oldest millennials are like mid 40s but in the popular imagination we are still kids in our 20s. It’s like society is 10-15 years behind almost
NVCleanInstall lets you install NVidia drivers without using their GeForce Experience software
This is why I am AMD fanboy
This is why I wish I was AMD fanboy :((
This is why you Linux, point blank.
On Linux you have no official GUI companion app for your graphics card from NVIDIA AFAIK.
Linux beginners and Nvidia cards aren't really a good mix in all fairness
nvidia drivers in linux can be a monumental mess
That certainly was the case for a long time. I've haven't had any issues for 5+ years. Devs made it a priority.
Nvidia is still closed source, even on Linux...
Use the nouveau drivers of course
Does the Linux build of GeForce experience not do this, because if it does then it's still a problem
We don't have geforce experience on Linux (afaik). Ubuntu has a built in "proprietary drivers" app that just pulls the Nvidia drivers for you on first boot after install. Very low effort (on the happy path at least. If you use unsupported/brand new cards, you're probably going to have a much less fun time)
Boomers will also get locked out of a lot of content because verifying their age is too complicated. I feel no sympathy.
Not adjusting settings, but definitely auto updates which require a login and they've been adding more and more things that require an account so they can track you.
Literally nothing about their software should require a login.
It's asinine
All of these people are future linux enjoyers, they just don't know it yet.
The trend has accelerated this year, corpos are data mining and they want to court proof data against you.
It has been at least 10 years coming but it is now very clear for what they are going for here.
Between Israeli genocide and pedos within the power structure, the anti resime sentiment is growing too strong and it seems for once, fake news can't change the narrative.
We are heading into the future where we won't be able to criticize genocide or pedophiles.
Unfortunately it actually just means less computer literacy. If you can't use a computer you just stay on your phone.
which is also easier to fingerprint!
Zoomers need to learn they don't need to use Nvidia's app for this. Just download the driver directly.
