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!

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

      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.

      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.

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