I am shocked by this - the quote in below is very concerning:

“However, in 2024, the situation changed: balenaEtcher started sharing the file name of the image and the model of the USB stick with the Balena company and possibly with third parties.”

Can’t see myself using this software anymore…

    You didn’t screw up, you beautifully proved why the CLI is never a simple solution.

      It reminded me when I told a coworker he could force the Windows shutdowns with the command 'shutdown -p -f" from either a Run.exe or a cmd window.

      Then he said it wasn’t working, and that the cmd window would just open and close quickly but no shutdown.

      Imagine my surprise when he was doing shutdown -pf .
