Chrome is one of the first things I disable on my Android devices, and I hate the idea of signing up for any accounts just to access local files.

But Canon welcomed me with a big surprise, and a fuck you, too!

Like Nvidia forces you to create an account to download your DRIVERS. Why??

[–] ultranaut@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago (2 children)

They dont? I've downloaded Nvidia drivers many times and never had to create an account.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

Sorry, I meant with the Nvidia App (formerly the Nvidia Experience app). I'm not sure if the site lets you download them directly, but the app used to do that freely until an update required users to sign up.

They removed login requirement for Nvidia App

But please don't let that dissuade you from hating Nvidia. That company deserves some hate.

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

No login with website. And your don't need the Nvidia app either. Just driver's

It didn't used to be that way, sure. Until now when governments want all the info on users with hardware that can process AI.

Edit: It may actually depend on what country you're in, for that exact reason.

It may actually depend on what country you’re in

I'm in Mexico, so not sure if it's relevant.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This actually made me curious enough to dig just a little deeper down this rabbit hole, so I did a little ~~Googling~~ Ducking on it. There's quite a few articles regarding this, not sure how much it does or doesn't pertain to AI rules and regulations though 🤷‍♂️

The day has finally come: Nvidia no longer requires a login to access its graphics card software. The new Nvidia App has just been released in beta and effectively replaces the GeForce Experience app, and one of the first things many of you will notice is how you can access ostensibly the entire software suite without logging into an Nvidia account.

"Your identity isn't essential to this experience," an Nvidia spokesperson said of the decision.

Nvidia first introduced a mandatory login for the GeForce Experience app in 2016, and it's been widely criticised as a bad move ever since. There are threads on Reddit and Nvidia's own forums filled with complaints from users, but after nearly eight years it felt like a done deal.

Good to know that it only took them 8 years to reconsider. Although I distinctly remember not being able to download my drivers without an account via the app during the pandemic. I wasn't living here in 2016. 🤷‍♂️

Though it's been forever since I've used anything Nvidia, I have heard something about that.

Since Nvidia has jumped full force into Artificial Intelligence, governments are requiring information on who owns and uses such hardware, and it most likely also comes with spying on what you're using it for.

We truly live in a fucking dystopia now. ☹️

[–] ultranaut@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (2 children)

There is no law forcing Nvidia to require accounts to download drivers. I literally just downloaded Nvidia drivers a few days ago without needing an account.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

It may not be a law, but when NVidia has numerous contracts with the federal government, and the feds ask NVidia to do them a favor...Well, NVidia does it. That assumes they didn't secretly order NVidia to do so via some obscure provision in a national security law.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world -1 points 6 days ago

It most likely depends on the country you're in. Some countries are already adopting such laws. Not much different than the age verification thing some countries are doing, total invasion of privacy, to appease the powers in charge.
