You're willingly giving up your information when you go online. You're trackable whether you're on a VPN or not. Privacy doesn't exist while connected to the internet. That's just how it was made overtime. I'm not saying it's not bad or stupid. I'm just saying it's not like it's ever been different.

My 550Ti card can't do any of that anyways. Just update drivers manually.

There's also a handful of new processes that access the internet embedded in the drivers. I had immediately uninstalled GeForce Experience after seeing the login screen, but the new drivers have:

C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\Update Core\NvTmRep.exe
C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Update Core\NvProfileUpdater64.exe

That is in addition to all the usual stuff they already had for updates and other things. I think it was also sending data from powershell.exe and syswow64\rundll32.exe during install if I remember correctly.

That sucks. I liked shadow play.

Nvidia has been shitting on customers a lot more than usual lately. Why spend more money on something that's going to fuck you over like this? They GTX 970 lawsuit is getting underway too. Not to mention all those lies about DX12 and Vulkan performance. Nvidia doesn't care about lawsuits or pissing people off, as long as you keep giving them money, they're going to get worse and worse.

So... don't update something I don't even use. No prob. Done and done.

e - Hold up, I'm not trying to be snarky and shitty, but that sounded way snarky and shitty. I absolutely appreciate you bringing this to light, because I'm one of those idiots that often times just clicks next next next. That being said, I never did dig how nVidia wants to "optimize" my games for me, I'm fully capable (for most things changeable) of doing that on my own to my own preferences. But like I said, thank you for bringing it to my attention! I'll do well to keep an eye on it.

I was thinking just making fake accounts. Your idea sounds much more thorough. I like it! I would pay money for something like that.
