Yeah, I do @musllibc, FOSS & infosec stuff. But now is not the time for a mostly-/only-tech Twitter feed.

      How many people use CCleaner because an IT mentor told them to because an IT mentor told them to?

      You're running a thing you have no support agreement or mitigating corporate license for that has intimate system access and is a black box.

      Surely that also applies to device drivers? And even FOSS not a complete answer, if no eyes are looking.

      Device drivers have a clear use tho; Without them your device doesn't work. CCleaner was cargo cult homeopathy on its best days.

      On modern Windows there is no legitimate reason to manually install vendor-provided drivers. OS installs the legit ones automatically.

      Does the W10-installed version of nVidia's driver include GeForce Experience? Without it, lots of missing functionality; with it, node.js.

      This kind of thing (bundled junkware) is exactly why I said you shouldn't be installing hardware-vendor-provided drivers. See also: HP.

      One man's bundled junkware is another's valuable functionality that they paid good money for.

      But, perhaps, we should all be using Lemote Yeeloong MIPS laptops, like rms, running open source BIOS & GNU Linux-libre (with no bin blobs)

      Forgot ideological purity, it's just about cost/benefit. You get huge privacy/security/stability gains from not installing sketchy drivers.

      In old times it was hard to do that on Windows, but modern Windows works out of the box with vanilla MS install, no sketchy add-ons.
