We literally have a cloudstrike report giving direct examples of how bad it is potentially as a vector for malware. Additionally it doesn't solve the problem it aims to solve, as reported by several outlets because it doesn't stop hardware level cheating, just potentially stops scripts. So you could absolutely enable cheats through a device like a keyboard and mouse or controller and the Anti-cheat does nothing.

Additionally though, I am not buying products with kernel level Anti-cheat and that is intentional, so I am not agreeing to the TOS or EULA of those games. If you add to this the fact that some games retroactively added kernel level anti-cheat, it's bogus to assume that people are in the know or that they agreed to such things in the original TOS or EULA. Steam only recently made developers list kernel level anti-cheat on store pages for their game.

Also, kernel level anti-cheat in single player games is just ridiculous and invasive.

You did not read what I wrote in my response and it shows. I have taken responsibility for my machine. I don't buy games with kernal level anti-cheat. I specifically view them as an attack vector for malware. They started the cake vs fork argument and my response was directly related to them using such a poor expression for the context of the conversation we were having and therefore it took that to its logical conclusion based on the argument they made.

Since you didn't read and decided to downvote I am choosing to not discuss this with you further, having vetted the ingredients of your cake. Have a good day.

That doesn't really track here. My reasoning is simple. They are requiring access to something they didn't initially make public or allow an informed decision on, and they did that on purpose. While I don't currently own or buy games that have kernel level anti-cheat, that doesn't make the obfuscation any better.

I actually have not pressed the install button, nor have I pressed the purchase button. However, I also want you to look up the phrase "eat cake and have it to" and figure out what you mean. I'm buying the cake. I'm buying the fork to eat the cake. Neither the cake company nor the fork company should be able to tell me what to do with the product from the other company. You don't have to agree with my stance, but understand that this is the argument that I am making.

They were worried that nobody would buy an $18 burger from them when they could get an $18 burger of much better size and quality from a better chain restaurant.

Nah. Not in the Palworld thing. They applied for those patents after Palworld was already being produced and sold as an excuse to sue the company and the fact that the law allows this is bogus. That being said, boycott if you want, or don't. That's your business.

I don't live in the EU, and am not sure it's a good idea to sign the petition for that reason even though I agree with them 100%.

They literally just urgently requested that everyone update windows 10 and 11 the other day because they found a zero day. Cloudstrike is only unknown if you don't pay attention to anything privacy related.

It's been time. Game companies have no right to access that level of any system I paid for. If they want to use kernal level anti-cheat on their consoles, that's on them. But my computer? Absolutely not. They don't have a right to that, when I bought the computer I didn't agree to that in a EULA or TOS, and they do not make it apparent that their games carry this level of anti-cheat at sale.

It absolutely is a chemical generator. Because it's actually pure oxygen, and carrying that onboard a plane in any other form (oxygen bottles etc) at an amount that would keep 300 or so people alive would make the plane even more of an explosion hazard than it already is.

YouTube TV and YouTube Premium are two different services. One of those is for YouTube watching. The other is for TV. Premium is certainly not $83.

Agreed for interface it was better but the windows 10 variant still works really well and I don't know what the fuck they're doing with windows 11.

I use gnome for my desktop experience and only when using the terminal or web browser do I have to use a keyboard and mouse. It's not Android levels of perfect for touch screens, but it's miles ahead of windows 11.
