NVIDIA has officially retired the GeForce Control Panel after 20 years, ending one of the longest-running software tools in PC gaming.

The company is moving users to the newer NVIDIA App, which combines driver updates, game optimization, DLSS and RTX settings, performance tools, overlays, and display settings into one application.

The old Control Panel will still work for now but is now considered a legacy app and will no longer receive major updates for GeForce users.

For many gamers it has been a familiar part of the Windows experience since the early 2000s.

A lot of time has passed since the great 2025 avatar nuking of Rusk, Karin, Chocolat, and others in VRChat.

Perhaps it's time we open up the conversation on what exactly happened, as well as discuss a certain license that may have a much larger impact on the VR and VTubing community than we think.

Let's talk about VN3.

VRChat's terms of service have changed, and it's not good for your privacy (if you even had any to begin with on this game...)

🚨 JUST NOW 🚨

Microsoft has new Project called Windows 11 K2: gutting AI bloat from Windows 11 to smash SteamOS gaming performance.

No more Copilot RAM vampire. Snappier Explorer, lighter updates, games-first.
Steam Deck crew staying loyal or jumping ship maybe?

We’ll see how this will be improved for gaming performance on Windows 11 K2.

If this is true everything then would ya’ll upgrade to Windows 11 K2 from Windows 10?

Or stick with Windows 10 forever?

The VRC beta broke avatar scaler addons and unfortunately they've stated they will not be fixing it, hopefully a workaround is found eventually.

Sucks for anyone who makes size content.

VRChat向けアプリ「VRCPersona」を公開しました！無料ありです！
最大の特徴はフレンドグループごとに独自ステータスをつけられること！

[The VR Community Awards @TheVRCAwards]

Due to Photon's cloud servers going down globally, VRChat's API was also knocked offline.

We held out for as long as possible, but due to this outage we have no choice but to postpone The VR Community Awards 2025. We apologise for the inconvenience.

We will update with new times and dates as soon as possible and thank you for your patience.

[JacksonFeyto | Mr. Dirteater @JacksonFeyto]

So we bullied discord when they used persona for age verification. When are we gonna bully the fuck outta VRChat for using them too

[Kita🔥 @Kitasure]

so, instead of addressing fundamental issues, realizing that they shouldn't be using persona, and so much more;
nah, let's do a collab with a failing & also desperate game company.

surely that will drive sales folks..

seriously tho, tf did i just watch?

[Rollthered @RolltheredDev]

I am age verified officially through VRChat, we need to do better than this please..

I made a reasonable compromise and still was forced out.

We shouldn't force people to give private information in public instances to strangers.

Posting for change, please listen.

[Maple @MaplePrism]

Translation:

We got caught.

We lied to you about getting caught.

We got caught again.

We tried to distance ourself from one problematic company for another problematic company.

We got caught doing that too.

We're going to try again in 6 months and hope none of you notice.

Twitch now requires some new Affiliates to verify their identity through Persona before receiving their first payout.

Users report needing to submit a government-issued photo ID along with a selfie, with no alternative verification method offered, according to Twitch support.

[Saruei 💥 @saruei]

The real question is this: when you read it, who are you actually angry at? Most people point to Discord.

But Discord isn’t the endpoint. It’s the conduit. The real issue is who is collecting, storing, and analyzing the data, companies like Persona, OpenAI, Palantir, and U.S. government agencies.

Criticize Discord, but don’t lose sight of who’s actually gathering and analyzing the data.

Hackers recently exposed parts of Discord's age verification system by discovering that the frontend code for their partner Persona was publicly accessible on the open internet.

This revealed details on how facial age estimation and ID verification are integrated.

“Persona's exposed code compares your selfie to watchlist photos using facial recognition, screens you against 14 categories of adverse media (from mentions of terrorism to espionage), and tags reports with codenames from active intelligence programs consisting of public-private partnerships.”

🚨BREAKING: Discord's third party vendor ID Verification system, Persona just got hacked.

Anyone who did verification with Persona, could be extensively compromised.

[sui ☄️ @birdabo]

discord’s age verification vendor Persona just got hacked.

openAI + US government + persona have been running identity surveillance since nov 2023

anyone who verified age on discord is now traceable.

nothing is private anymore.
