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…
I never really understood why etcher was the choice, it was a crazy bloated program that was like 100 or 150mb? To do the same job as Rufus could do in like a dozen or so, and if you’re on Linux you can just use gnome disks or something, never had any issues there either. Just made no sense to me why they recommended it in the first place.
