    I always hate when my own computer says I need permission. “Permission”? I own your damn ass! It should be more like, “Unable to comply due to security settings” - and even better, tell me where the settings are, and add, “Your Majesty”.

      That’s because ‘users’ in the system are considered different people and there is an admin who doesn’t care about the message anyway(since they are supposed to know what they should do) but thats rarely the case in PCs
