> Asking someone 10 times to approve full disk access for some random binary name that doesn't ring a bell isn't useful (as it doesn't really resonate with a normal user's intent)

It's also super great when these dialogs randomly appear out of the blue without you doing anything obviously related to whatever is being asked.

Talking about random names. I really hate when binaries named by what seems like smashing some keys randomly are running on computers and it is OK. At least Microsoft, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Realtek are guilty of that.

How can you audit what you do not understand?

200 running copies of svchost.exe say hi! XD

And particularly often while you’re typing, hitting the spacebar or return to confirm whatever pops up, only to make you perplexed and try to recollect those few milliseconds you believe to have managed to see the name to try to find out what you’ve just been made to approve or decline.
