I think I’ve only been to “#theFactory” twice in my life, both when I was in Seattle for PAX West. The first time just to try it out, the second was with some friends who were also at the con who wanted to go.

Canada’s dangerous C-22 surveillance bill is now before the Senate. It will force tech companies to build surveillance into their products, threatening everyone’s security and privacy. There’s still time to speak out.

Looked into this, it's annoying but unsurprising that they turned this on by default but 1). Mainly seems to be an issue if you have agents, which most people don't. 2). If you really care about this shit use nvcleanstall and don't use Nvidia's app
