If you are only ashamed of your actions after you were caught, you are not ashamed of your actions. Grade A trashy behaviour that has no place in the world.

Apparently management positions. The amount of people in such positions that are full of themselves and are hitting terribad descicions at the same time, all the time, never to improve on that. Is terribly high.

Yeah sure, let's not involve the construction department of the company with that big move you are "planning" for half a year now. Also only realize you need tons of work done before you can even start that move a month ahead of the due date. Then do a terrible job of getting that sorted. And only have the most basic of time plans for the actual move ready a couple days before they are supposed to happen. Make that time window awfully short because you also need those machines to produce again because you failed to plan extra production to create a buffer for intermediate products. Then go ahead and slash that awfully short time plan on the first day because surprise, surprise... You don't have a buffer of intermediate products and you really need those machines up and running again so that you can push actual finished products out the door. Also hope for the best which is that the machines just start up and run again... Yes as if that ever worked with complicated machines that are also old now and could just fail completely just from getting moved.

Grade A plan...

Basically... A lot! Just to have what effectively amounts to a painkiller. Now don't get me wrong, those are great but you know what's better? Solving the issue that causes you pain to begin with.

zum Schreien... ES GIBT KEIN VERBRENNER VERBOT! VERDANMT NOCH MAL LEST DOCH EINMAL DEN BESCHISSENEN GESETZESTEXT! DA STEHT DRIN DAS ES MÖGLICHERWEISE GEPLANT IST DAS 35 UMZUSETZEN! UND MAN DESHALB NOCH MEHRFACH DARAUF SCHAUT OB DAS GEHT ODER NICHT! AUSSERDEM GILLT ES NUR FÜR NEU! FAHRZEUGE! UND WENN MAN FESTSTELLT DAS ES DOCH NICHT SO EINE GUTE IDEE IST WIRD ES NICHT! UMGESETZT!

Das müsste jetzt einfach mal sein. Aber zu wissen was in den Gesetzen drin steht ist ja anstrengend und dann kann man sich nicht darüber aufregen.

If it looks like a nazi, thinks like a nazi, smells like a nazi, speaks like a nazi, supports a nazi party. It's probably a nazi.

No way around it. Actions speak louder than words do but in that case or rather cases both point rather clearly to them being... Nazis.

Don't want to be called a nazi? Fine... Don't be a nazi and there is no reason to call you one.

There is no consent in "you have to agree"

Microsoft Corporation is confused. It hurt itself in confusion.

Ich glaube so langsam das es echt ein Problem ist das man nur für verfassungswidrige taten belangt werden kann aber nicht für den Versuch immer und immer wieder verfassungswidrige Gesetze durchzusetzen.

Wenn sowas auch Konsequenzen hätte würde diese Diskussion wohl nicht zum drölfbrillionsten mal im Raum stehen sondern wäre schon lange mit einem Satz aus einem oder weniger Worte beendet. Nein, niemals.

To add to that. Meta has been found to have used a man in the middle attack to gain acces to data from competing services. Intercepting and selling that user data before it got encrypted. They literally are evil. Do not let them in.

Imagine a game that's fun right out of the box... Boring right? Yeah... Let's put 150 hours of filler at the start before it gets fun.

Some business exec somewhere.

Du kannst doch nicht einfach den armen Weltkonzernen ihre Profite wegnehmen! Das geht ja mal gar nicht! WIr brauchen die 168 Stunden Woche ansonsten geht es der Wirtschaft so schlecht! /s

So, Benefits: Being able to play their games. Drawbacks : a lot, and it seems like they are not getting talked about a ton.

Here is the deal: Riot doesn't trust you that you will interact with their entertainment software in a fair way witb other users of the same software. So they demand that you install a kernel level anti Cheat which gives them full control of your system. And then they demand that you trust them not to abuse that power. Because if you try to figure out if you can trust them... They will ban you. It's the equivalent of having someone demand of you to take NSFW Pictures whenever, wherever, however much they like and telling you that they won't share those.

Yes they can decrypt everything from your encrypted drive if they wanted to, so not even an encrypted file system that windows can't even read natively will save you. Remember that they can read and write any file they want to so they can get to your decryption key, figure out your file system and get windows to read if they wanted to. It's the same with kernel level cheat developers that likely charge money for their cheats. Heck if they wanted, they could use your machine to mine crypto if they wanted to. Or ransom it with encryption of their own. Or get you in legal trouble in so many other ways like putting incriminating files on your machine.

In short they don't trust you and want full acces while demanding that you trust them with no way of knowing if you can. Which means you can't have privacy with a kernel lever anti Cheat or rather rootkit because that is what it actually is.

Also consider who owns riot games. And think about how protected or in that case rather how not protected your data is.

And then ask if you want to give a third party that level of control over a machine you own and paid for.
