So, I’ve noticed this more as I’ve gotten deeper into piracy, but why do all the various programs installed through a fitgirl repack require administrator, even if they’re installed for the user?
I may be dumb but it just always makes me a bit worried.
Edit: I do not mean the installation process, I’m talking about running the process once installed.
What’s the performance hit for sandboxie?
I know it’s not ideal, but I mainly use an old airgapped/no internet pc to running older/less demanding games. Obviously there’s a risk that the system becomes corrupted and infects the usb stick I use for file transfer, but that’s the gamble I’m taking right now.
If anyone reading this thinks it’s super risky, don’t hesitate to let me know. I’m kinda assuming that most malware/harvesters/miners/viruses will want to connect to the internet, and not go the usb route. Seems like it’d be too much of a hassle, unless you want to take down a nuclear program.
I used to use steam for some stuff, but everything’s so expensive and I’m tired of all the forced updates and always on requirements, so I honestly can’t be bothered and torrent as much as possible. Only buying from GOG now, so I can at least share games with the household. Fuck 1 person licenses.
