FYI: Spotify now allows to disable hardware acceleration

Dear all,
I just have an info for those of you who are experiencing the same issue like me for years now:
On my 2010 MBP Spotify always triggered the Nvidia card.
I had to use gfxCardStatus to force Spotify to use the integrated Intel graphics and not heat up my Mac to 70°C and add some fan noise to the music…

So, as I mentioned before, things have changed now :))

Version 1.0.80 is the version we all waited for!
Have a look in the Spotify menu in the macOS menu bar.
There you will now find the option to deactivate the hardware acceleration...
From now on, discrete GPU will not be triggered by Spotify!

Cheers!
