Editor's Corner: Nvidia’s Ion Revisited, 7.1 Ch. LPCM Fixed

If Steam downloads an update to your PC and nobody was there to see

I think the issue (and difool's got issues!) is more along the lines
of:
"If steam downloads a mind-control update to my head and i don't
notice - am i still a poor deluded evil mindless zombie slave of the
evil steam empire bent on world domination and the downfall of western
civilzation STEAM MUST DIE DIE STEAMDIEDIEDIE!!!!"

Or somesuch. I'm pretty sure I got the general gist right.
