There should be a setting to turn off validation by default

This is technically not an issue, but it is a feature request. On Balena Etcher, you should be able to go into the settings options and turn off the validation step by default rather than manually skipping it every time. For my needs, instead of validation, a better alternative is to just attempt to boot up from them since I make bootable USB flash drives in bulk, and that is something that would be very helpful for me to have.
