Never thought about that, but since these tools just work, when you copy them to your PC… how does psexec do that? It’d either need you to be an administrator (and then it’s not really a privilege escalation as you could have registered any program into the task scheduler or as a service to run as SYSTEM) or it’d need a delegate service, that should only be available when you use an installer - which again wasn’t was has been done when just copying the tool.

Grundsätzlich ja, aber eine Bahn mit Betrunkenen zu teilen ist je nach Anzahl und deren Verhalten auch nicht gerade schön…

Pluspunkt ist da tatsächlich, dass diejenigen gerade nicht am Steuer sitzen.

Do you know the term “trust thermocline”?

Basically it described a problem with the boiling the frog technique. There’s a point for every user at which they’re fed up with the bullshit, lose all trust in you(r company) and are hard to impossible to get back as a customer. Every customer leaving has a little unnoticeable effect on you, but with time there will be so many people that you lost that all your tactics to lock your users in will fail.

When I go back to play a modded Fallout, I do 4.

Do so now and be quick, or wait a while. In a few days a huge next-gen update is dropping and everyone expects mods to be broken afterwards unless they are fixed. Since modding is usually done on PC, you may be able to downgrade the version, but it’s more work.

I read it as “no, we won’t use your data for advertising, but collect it anyways. If you ever dare to stop paying, we’ll retroactively process this data, too”
