One of the biggest things that bothers me on Windows is that you cant always update your computer if you use full disk encryption like with Veracrypt.

There's no guarantee of privacy regarding the internet. That said, no, a VPN prevents your ISP from seeing what you're doing, other than connecting to an ISP. Insofar as backdoored hardware, there's not much you can do about that. But backdoored hardware doesn't mean you shouldn't protect your info from non-government entities.

Those things are like having alarms and security cameras on your house. They don't guarantee that you won't get burgled, nothing can. But closing off all the obvious routes makes it much less likely, and probably less severe if it does happen.

You don't need to worry about the management engine stuff unless you're an Iranian nuclear physicist or something. Those do not get used to mass dragnet surveillance, it'd be too loud. It'd get detected and patched, and it'd be on the front page of the newspapers. The NSA hates being in the news.

Like home security, you don't have to make it impossible to break in, you just have to make it not worth the cost to.

To be able to snawer that question, we would first need to understand how differently men and women think, and why is that
Part of it comes from the education each received

Better to have the ruskies hold onto my email data because the russian displomatic relations between my country and them are so horrible if they were ever audited or asked to give out the info they'd probably say "go fuck yourself".

Many people here avoid american company products because according to american law, inteligence agencies like cia can demand any kind of info these companies have, which means your info that ms stores on its servers, where in europe that is not the case

Screen brightness to lowest, use the cpu as little as possible and set it to power saving mode

Don't use trisquel because because battery life 80% depends on firmware and libre firmware doesn't have those hacks.

vim is nice if you're a sysadmin

If you write anything then a good text editor like Vim, Emacs or Sublimetext can be useful. You can add spell-checking and quickly make changes to the whole document.

Here is a lecture from a non-programmer (journalist and writer) who use emacs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtieBc3KptU

Here is a blog post from a non-programmer who uses emacs: http://standardsandfreedom.net/index.php/2016/10/09/an-emacs-update/

Stephen Pinker and Neal Stephenson have both said they use emacs.

Vim is ONLY nice if you are a sysadmin. Otherwise it's just a pain in the ass text editor to learn. Especially for anyone without an American keyboard who are not able to have sensible keybindings (even when you change them because as a sysadmin you mostly work with default keybindings anyway)
