it doesn't network
What about the certificate installation on windows?
That’s simply bad software practice, which was fixed once pointed out. Fact is that if they had done this on purpose, they wouldn’t have changed it and instead, would’ve came up with an excuse to keep it the same way.
I never claimed it’s malware
I don’t keep track of who says what on this app. Many people in this thread have the idea that RustDesk is some sort of Chinese spyware that is secretly transmitting their files to the CCP. If that’s not your opinion, then I guess we are not in disagreement.
There’s no way for the user to know that clicking this button will edit their GDM config and disable Wayland
Yes, that’s the wrong way to do it, which is why they changed it. I’m not saying this is perfect software developed by experts, but the idea that RustDesk should be avoided at all cost is insane, specially when they have fixed every issue that was raised.
The only thing they are missing is a security audit done by a third party, which costs money and I doubt they care enough to pay for that just to stop all the finger pointing.
Bad coding practices is not malware, that just means the devs are not experts. Also, these were fixed when pointed out by the users, which is the whole point of being open source. The only reasonable issue is the direct modification of the GDM config, which required the user to click a button.
Sounds like you made up your mind on RustDesk being malware, even though there is no proof. All of your replies are "could/can" without even a hint of factual information on RustDesk being some sort of Chinese backdoor, so I guess we can stop this discussion.
I doubt somebody running from a government is taking their tips from wired.com
They do store it and have provided it to authorities in the past. In their defense, modern laws require you to hand over any data you have or get shut down. But they already knew that, yet choose to ask for it anyways knowing that they have to give it away if asked to.
But I want to know what is AMD working on, specially if it has to do with the RT / HDR / color management areas.
HDR/Color Management is not really AMD’s job. That’s between the Wayland and Mesa guys (I guess you could say AMD belongs in the “Mesa guys” umbrella).
Also, I’m pretty sure AMD already supports ray tracing through Mesa, and is enabled by default since version 23.2 on the radv driver:
radv: Enable ray tracing pipelines by default
You can literally monitor where the data is being transmitted. There is no need to trust anyone. If it was sending data to anything that isn’t your relay server, you’d be able to easily prove it.
I guess the fact that the last release was in April. Some people refuse to compile their apps even though it’s better.
They don’t support new technologies (Wayland), why would they drop support for old ones?
Where does CUDA come into play for screen tearing?
I don’t know what those mean and don’t really care. I simply corrected you when you said Wayland cannot be used remotely.
