I don't get the point. Was the nvidia driver update forced upon you and done behind your back? Or - did you do that intentionally and broke (by accident) stuff

I don't get the point.
Was the nvidia driver update forced upon you and done behind your back? Or - did you do that intentionally and broke (by accident) stuff?
If the latter (and that's what it sounds like to me), isn't that totally unrelated to silent software updates and just anecdotal bad press about the nvidia driver and its stability?
- megablast 15y agoHe is saying something he wants to control the updates on, obviously the important stuff. The video driver is very important, but the browser is also very important, since a lot of people would not be able to get work done without it.
- gcr 15y agoExactly. I chose to update my video driver, so I knew what broke. Imagine that update had happened automatically. Perhaps the day before a big deadline -- a stellar choice for disaster to strike! Now I'd have no clue what just broke and now I'd have to spend hours fixing it. Intrusive updates shouldn't be automatic.
