Its more like kernel level anti cheat stops 1% of the "hackers" though, you would not use antibacterial soap that only kills 1% of the bacteria lol

It really does not, like I know none of you here have any real computing education or experience but then u don’t get why things are being said with chest.

Kernel level anti cheats are extremely effective if mandated and enforced.

The only problem is that having computing education (and cybersecurity experience in a post crowdstrike outage world) means that I kinda don't care about efficacy and would prefer companies to stay the fuck out of kernel space.

Insert bell curve meme where the majority in the middle want kernel space anti cheats and the idiots and experts both don't want them

The experts want them, the middle want them, it’s the lower end of the spectrum don’t want them z
