Why are modern drivers so bloated?

everything else is bloated too these days, so why not drivers as well

Drivers have become too lazy, they won't walk when they can drive instead.

>>57310726
Yes.

>>57310527
Because nowadays they're made by (((software engineers))), when they used to be made by programmers.

>>57310527
That's because a company like Nvidia panders to iliterate vidya kids.
Get this nV1d1a eXper1enCe g0y!!1!!!XD

>>57310527
Because they ship support for more GPUs in one package rather than packing it for each arch separately.

What is the problem?

>>57310768
What the hell is the difference?
Am I a programmer if I take CS?

Why is nodejs in nvidia drivers?

What the fuck
This meme has gone way too far

>don't be silly goy, NodeJS will make your V1Dya runn 6 golilion percent faster, just don't forget to buy the next generation GPU!!!1!!!xDDD

>>57310848
No, if you take CS you're a glorified mathematician.

>Why are modern [x] so bloated?

This could be applied to everything.

>>57310934
Would give me a better job than a software engineer.

>>57310955
Crazy old world, ain't it?

My printer's driver is 250mb. I don't even know what the fuck HP is doing.

Fucking touchpad drivers are 250mb.
needless to say they sutter and barely work.
Fucking Indians.

"When installing the latest driver (368.25), the process immediately send the current driver version and the PCI ID of your graphic card at gfswl.geforce.com using HTTP without encryption.
After transmitting some miscellaneous information like ID and size of your monitor to Adobe and a Google Analytics' tracker Nvidia will send information regarding your hardware such as CPU and SSD model reference to telemetry.nvidia.com.
Now if you agree to install GeForce Experience, which is the default option, a detailed description of your hardware is sent a few minutes later to gfe.nvidia.com/getsugar. This description includes: brand and model of your motherboard, serial number, BIOS version, information regarding USB drives currently plugged, RAM capacity, GPU frequency, etc.
But wait, there is more! GeForce Experience will communicate the software you use (not only games), when you use it, for how long and, if it is a game, a framerate history, current settings and various statistical data.
It will also record where you click on the various utilities provided and how long you stay on each page. Almost 100Ko of information, along with Google trackers, are sent to Nvidia.
A decrypted log intercepted from our test setup is available here.
This is clearly a breach of your privacy. Nvidia's privacy policy does not mention these activities in the French version, only in the English one.
Regarding AMD (Crimson 16.5.3), some basic information are sent during driver installation, just like Nvidia, but we detected nothing more afterwards even when launching various applications or games."
