This could be fine if it didn't immediately send all of your data to the internet.

But as is, fuck that and fuck you Microsoft.

Windows told me I don't have permission to do something. On my computer. As an administrator. Using the command line.

Fuck Windows, fuck Microsoft and their controlling asses, and fuck co-pilot and Open AI for contributing to artificial intelligence not only being closed source and proprietary, but encouraging the United States government to make it literally illegal to do it on the open source field as well.

You can probably use Bing chat to figure out how to bypass that, ironically

[-] flying_monkies@kbin.social 4 points 9 months ago

Probably the fact that, even if you define the account as Admin in windows, you still need to select "Windows sudo" (run as Administrator) before it actually elevates privilege.

That's just a "hey dumbass, did you try to run command prompt or was it ThreeTittyBabes.jpg.exe?" check. The admin users just don't need to enter an admin password to proceed.

No, it's not.

What you're talking about is UAC flipping out because you double clicked on something and it want's admin privilege (the GUI equivalent of what bioemerl talked about).

I'm talking about exactly what bioemerl was: You open cmd window, try to run a command and it bitches that you need admin rights, as an admin. So, you have to go back, search for cmd, then select the option: Run as administrator.

That's because too many virus infections have started with admins launching things as admin by default

Use one of the elevate as admin scripts

Can't you check the "run as administrator" box in the properties? Then it runs as admin every time.

If you remember to do it after getting pissed off enough at it, sure ๐Ÿ˜€
