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 π€·ββοΈ

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. π€·ββοΈ

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.

Shit, no more Canon then.
Much like every telehealth experience Iβve had in the past 3 years.

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.

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.

Enshittification at its finest
Looks like someone needs to write an app that doesnβt have these requirements.
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.

bye bye Canon. You were once the light of my photographic life - now you're dead to me for pulling this bullshit.
Had the powder and fuse primed for an Oh Brother Where Art Thou joke. Picture my mild fury when I noticed this is about cameras, not printers.
FYI if you're shooting tethered the live view functionality and performance of Capture One is infinitely better.
