I want to update my drivers.
NVidia: "You must first download the EXPERIENCE app".
Can't I just get the drivers? "No"
Ok, I have the 1GB app, now can I get the drivers?
"No, you must create an account on the EXPERIENCE".
Fine. What now?
"Now you must setup 2FA".
Ok fine, can I have the drivers now?
"No. Would you like to come to our conference?".
No! I want to update my graphics card driver.
"Ok, here is your download... 700MB".
Fine am I done now? "No, it failed to install. "

@tonybaloney@fosstodon.org for what it’s worth, I never had that problem. Search for “RTX driver”, land on the NVIDIA page, select card, download driver, in the installation flow deselect GeForce Experience and I am good to go. Did that flow change in the past few weeks?

@tonybaloney@fosstodon.org you don't need to update your drivers, you obviously need to go figure out how to register a spacecraft instead. Oh wait
