Makes me think one should try declining these kinds of agreements to see what happens, before accepting. As someone who also has an "anti-privacy-policy-policy," I wonder how many of these kinds of things I've agreed to when it was unnecessary.
- egypturnash 7y agoAs far as I can tell the only consequence of declining it is that it pops up the “hey please let us have all this info” dialogue whenever you reboot. I’ve been doing this on my own machine for most of a year. Might be different with the latest update, I haven’t bothered with that.
- pbhjpbhj 7y agoIs there an accessible way to prevent an application drawing a specific window to the screen? I can see an app like autohotkey could click the "no" button and automatically remove it, but could you (assuming it's not modal; which it probably is) tell Windows not to show it?
- egypturnash 7y agoThe "Wacom Desktop Center" app mostly just sits there looking for updates and bugging you to enable tracking anyway; the Mac version has a menu setting that theoretically stops it from ever running, and thus bugging you to sign up to share your analytics. I just turned it off (since I just noticed it for the first time) but don't feel like rebooting to check if it actually works. (Though I did just run the little script I keep around to restart the driver, which normally brings up the WDC, and it did not show up this time. Huzzah!) No idea about Windows, I never use that.
