Easy Anti Cheat - requires manual removal

Wait, so this sketchy, privacy-invading stuff remains even after a game is uninstalled?! I had no idea.

How is this stuff not classed as malware at this point?

Has “laying off staff to focus on AI “ become a common euphemism for “we hired too many people”?

That means cryptographic keys under one government’s control could be used to intercept HTTPS communication

Could someone smarter than me explain how this would be possible? Wouldn’t the browser still be able to enforce privacy between the client and origin? Or is it the case that certificates issued by these CAs could in theory only support weaker cyphers?

Edit: Some really useful explanations. Thank you!

Does this compile with -Wall -Werror? (might not be an option if your dependencies’ headers contain warnings)

Looks like it may be embedded code for a SoC or similar. The only things I can think of is that the tool chain you’re using maybe non-standard… or you’re invoking the dreaded Undefined Behaviour somewhere :(

Clang won’t tell you if you’re missing a return statement.

Is this C++? Have you got some code examples?

I’ve been writing C++ for 20+ years and the last compiler I encountered this with was Borland’s. In the late 90s.
