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!

Like Nvidia forces you to create an account to download your DRIVERS. Why??

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This actually made me curious enough to dig just a little deeper down this rabbit hole, so I did a little ~~Googling~~ Ducking on it. There's quite a few articles regarding this, not sure how much it does or doesn't pertain to AI rules and regulations though πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

The day has finally come: Nvidia no longer requires a login to access its graphics card software. The new Nvidia App has just been released in beta and effectively replaces the GeForce Experience app, and one of the first things many of you will notice is how you can access ostensibly the entire software suite without logging into an Nvidia account.

"Your identity isn't essential to this experience," an Nvidia spokesperson said of the decision.

Nvidia first introduced a mandatory login for the GeForce Experience app in 2016, and it's been widely criticised as a bad move ever since. There are threads on Reddit and Nvidia's own forums filled with complaints from users, but after nearly eight years it felt like a done deal.

Good to know that it only took them 8 years to reconsider. Although I distinctly remember not being able to download my drivers without an account via the app during the pandemic. I wasn't living here in 2016. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I rolled back the app to an older version before this was required and blocked it from network or updating. The only feature I use is the gps data over bluetooth and remote shutter. Canon can go F*** themselves with this nonsense

Fuji makes some really nice SLRs, and their glass is exceptional. Also, you don't need to install software if you don't want to.

How are you transferring these files? I understand it's less convenient but could you maybe take the sd card out and plug it into a laptop instead?

Much like every telehealth experience I’ve had in the past 3 years.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Telehealth software is some of the lowest quality slop out there... You would think security and privacy would a factor in this segment... It ain't 🀑

I don't have much experience with cameras but isn't it usually sd cards that you can pull out and transfer using a sd reader? Does the camera have internal storage that needs an account and app?

Firefox doesn't support WebUSB, Web Bluetooth and several other integrations, so applications that need to connect to other devices need some kind of Chrome application. Massive dick move by forcing account creation tho.

Shit, no more Canon then.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Well, shit. I was planning on getting a Canon for my first camera because it's hard to beat them for astrophotography, but I'm less sure now.

Oof, that is new, the camera connect app used to work without an account before.

Oh that’s too bad. Guess I’m not buying that shit.

Enshittification at its finest

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Looks like someone needs to write an app that doesn’t have these requirements.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Another user said the older version of the app works without an account... but you need an internet connect, so that could "turn off" at any moment. This level of enshittification should be illegal.

Vendor software is always a pile of shame. Can't you just copypaste images?

Edit: oh, mobile.

FYI if you're shooting tethered the live view functionality and performance of Capture One is infinitely better.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

bye bye Canon. You were once the light of my photographic life - now you're dead to me for pulling this bullshit.
