The 14900k is an absolute oven

Because the small thief in this example is not making money from the theft

Of you didn’t watch the full video, which is fair enough, it’s a point Linus makes which the comment refers to. So Linus is either newborn or braindead? I mean ok maybe. 🗿

I’m downvoted for pointing out what Linus said in the video, why exactly?

Perhaps I’m being pedantic, but even in your quoted definition we don’t know that it’s spyware. Because 1) we don’t know if it takes full control 2) it’s there with our knowledge. I still can’t agree to your conclusion in your first comment that it is. It might be, but I’d phrase that differently.

blablabla more blabbering around the point below: just pure speculation of what it could possibly be worst case scenario.

Spyware by definition is “Any malicious software"

Cool, but since you have no idea whether or not its malicious calling it spyware is false.

So you called it spyware but now you say you dont know what it is doing. So which one is it?
