I know what people mean when they say it, just wanted people to know that it’s incorrect.
What kind of arrogance is that? I honestly don’t know. Or are you saying that using correct diagnosis doesn’t matter?
I honestly did not expect that kind of reaction, I thought I was just helping others learn. So yeah, my staying ignorant comment is very apt and not ironically arrogant.
And your “barely on the fringe of being technically correct” is ridiculous because I’m not only technically correct, sociopath simply isn’t a diagnosis. If you tell that word to a psychologist, they’ll internally roll their eyes, because that term doesn’t exist in psychology.
Yes, every application has access to everything. The only exception are those weird apps that use the universal framework or whatever that thing is called, those need to ask for permissions. But most of the apps on your PC have full access to everything.
And Windows does collect and upload a lot of personal information and they could easily upload everything on your system. The same of course applies for the apps as well, they have access to everything except privileged folders (those usually don’t contain your personal data, but system files).
