Exactly. So this just gives them a potential suspect to investigate. Nothing more. Then they investigate them to get what they need for a warrant. This doesn't get the warrant.

Not back peddling you are misunderstanding what kernel access means.

You don't need kernel level access (the thing we are literally discussing) to kill processes. Which was literally your example.

Obviously the OS handles it. How the fuck else would it work?

It is literally installed by choice. It's part of the game installation. It's up to users to know what they are installing. Many games likely install lots of things that aren't immediately obvious.

It doesn't infiltrate the system.

Pretty much all code is making requests to the kernel. That isn't what is happening here.

It's side stepping the kernel. That's the whole point. You don't know what you're talking about.

Would be completely illegal in countries with gdpr. I'm a programmer and can tell you every company takes that super seriously.

You have to agree to be tracked. Most people just do it without thinking.

I'm a programmer I understand what they are. I understand why they suck.

Stopping processes is actually a user space action. You can do it without admin rights btw. Even if it popped the admin screen that's still not a kernel level action.

Asking the kernel to do something is basically all operations and not the same as kernel level access.

Yeah that it's considered malware. I did Google it and there's nothing saying that.

That name doesn't roll off the tongue too well!

Computer usage statistics? Score!

Trained on the source code.

Yeah could also clone the repo and use copilot against it.

Most of them have the same problem though. The more specific you are the worse the results.

Let's be real they're both fascist states. I don't think Russia even claims to be Communist.

You can actually use the dynamic type here for late binding of overloads. You will get a runtime error for unknown types though.

You essentially define the function overloaded for each type. Then call the function with a dynamic and the runtime will figure out what method to call
