    Intel driver updates, once the very pinnacle of sobriety and professionalism, have degenerated into the wild west of driver dissemination reminiscent of the very early days of Windows adoption, where, sometime the shit works, and sometimes it doesn’t.

    There’s been a good 20 years of knowing if you downloaded an intel driver, that shit is going to fix your fucking problem. Not any longer.

    Over the last year, especially with the Intel Driver scan tool, the Video drivers have repeatedly caused my screen to blackout and I’ve had to restore the previous non intel provided driver for my Arc capable video chip. Bluetooth drivers have also been shit.
