Oh man, they left a typo in there. Did anybody catch it? They use the word 'permission' when this is actually selected by default for all users who install their drivers. Hey, that's not how you ask for permission! I would love to see the look on their faces when they realize this mistake.
- ryandrake 3y agoIn general, Silicon Valley has a huge problem with / misunderstanding of things like "permission" and "consent." If computing was like dating, Silicon Valley would be a creepy guy in the nightclub constantly telling women: "We are now dating. Do you want to dance? [Yes] [Ask Again Later]"
