  • I have been out of the loop for a while so please excuse my question: Is it really necessary nowadays to let NVIDIA software connect to the internet to enter/change the graphic card settings? Years ago they only had this bullshit tool for looking up pre-made settings and an update agent, but all you had to do was to not install both when running the driver setup. I can’t even remember the name of them, deselecting this crap became like muscle memory. Did NVIDIA really change that in the meantime?










  • So instead of three simple mouse clicks I’m supposed to say “Open mixer channel 34, then open the second insert plugin, select the unlabeled potentiometer that is located in the second row and kind-of third column, then turn it to 30 %, wait, no, not the amp potentiometer, the unlabeled one in the second row and kind-of third column, no, the one to the left of the current one, no, not this one, not this one, not this one…”

    A little bit like early graphic programs where you had to type in coordinates and color values but way slower, unprecise and totally unreliable. Sounds fun, I bet this new Windows will be loved by all musicians and audio engineers and graphic designers and video editors - if they even manage to log into their Microsoft account while suffering from a common cold (“Log me [cough] in with Boat[cough]y[cough]McBoat[cough]face[cough]42!”). Looks like the guys at Microsoft had their final dose of sodium bromide.
