Run as different user
is an administrator someone who administers something?
I've heard that on Microsoft OS the root user is named Administrator (and on some BSD OS root is called Charlie!), so yes.
Gonna administer this yiffing
I don’t think I get it? 😔
Furries run a lot of core internet IT: https://thespinoff.co.nz/internet/11-01-2022/who-runs-the-internet-furries

- "RunAs" is apparently the Windows equivalence of sudo in Linux.
- Administrator in Windows == root in Linux.

administrator in windows != root, it's more like user account in sudoers file (but without password auth) processes don't start out with admin rights under administrator accounts on windows, they still need to request the user to elevate (unless uac is off)
