As I'm about to go through the trouble of setting up a complex whitelist-based firewall for a Virtual Machine that'll host Windows 10, I'm starting to wonder if Windows 10 are in fact as vicious and eavesdropping as /g/ presents them to be.
Sure, the EULA has some retarded shit build into it, but does microsoft really do this?
Do they really log and sent to their servers all local searches, file hashes, keylogs, history etc etc?
Or is this just a stupid internet joke made up by 14 year olds?
>>57695958
They don't
I'm not retarded enough to believe what some /g/ high school dropouts say so I checked it myself. I installed W10 in VM, changed outbound traffic policy in Windows Firewall to block and made a rule to unblock only the web browser.
I've been using this VM for few days looking at funny memes then I compared total data usage with OpenWrt statistics on the router. Guess what, it was the same
>>57695958
>it was the same
down to the single byte?
>>57696094
I don't believe the windows botnet conspiracies myself, but I'd imagine a vm environment would be a huge red flag for windows 10 not to start botnetting.

I am a beginner to programming who is just currently trying to learn python, does anyone know any good books etc to help me on the way? any other advice would be great also thanks!

Is there any media player that's better than VLC?
No, install gentoo
>>57695699
>pic related
>>57695699
I'd say SMPlayer. It has all the goodness of MPV and a very comfy GUI control panel for everyday users. I even use it in my windows machine and shit just works.
I would admit that VLC has tons of features but not everyone is going to use them.

Seriously why? Am I being ripped off? The phone has two chips inside. There's a LED that lights up when the charger is plugged in, but it doesn't switch between two colors. It has it's own chip. Note that I have a google phone.
>Am I being ripped off?
>Note that I have a google phone.
Then the answer is yes.

It's a obviously a bug

If I delete a file with Freeraser and then encrypt its original directory with VeraCrypt, will it be unaccesible from the rest of the PC? Even by the police?
You do realize police can always just put tazer to your gonads and keep pressing the button until you tell them the password, right?
But if we're talking encrypting over erased file, then yes, it should make the file safely unrecoverable. However, if this particularly shameful folder / file came off the internet it can be traced to you by ISP traffic history.
>>57695563
>encrypt its original directory
This is where you have it ass backwards. If you've erased the file the reference is gone and the offending blocks, which may be anywhere on the disk, won't be encrypted. Sure they've been overwritten but you wanted paranoid level security.
Encrypt the file first, then shred it. No fuss, no muss, no electrodes on your bollocks.
If you die the information will become irretrievable.
Assuming AES-256, that information should be secure for a good 100 years.
I have an idea for VERY SIMPLE but effective educational software. I do PhD at Uni and I could put it there to work tomorrow. It NEEDS to be very specific and very simple – nothing on a market comes close to it.
I want to make business out of it, therefore I don’t want any money from Uni (I would have lost copyright claims and full control over future development).
I can’t code.
I figure I have two options
1 – Let the soft to be made by some third-party company (cost probably too much money)
2 – Learn in less than a year how to create this program (cost course-money and probably too much time)
Anons, but this soft is fucking simple, just txt editor with integrated text mining tools. No big deal.
My soft should be little similar to "Zettelkasten" but much more specific and much more simple.
So, do you have any experience working with soft-development company?
How much time it takes to learn and make something like “Zettelkasten”?
I should maybe ask in /adv but I've found the topic too much tech related.
after quickly having a read of what this Zettelkasten method is my serious recommendation is just be open with your idea and open source it etc. Not only does this method provide any feature that can't already been catered using existing software the entire concept of loose filing makes the amount any such software is worth pretty much nil.
I remember a few years ago everyone was all over highlighting. highlight everything, highlight things in different colors, a few years later it turned out to be bullshit. just my 2 cents

if you're getting paid for your phd, even the stuff you do in your free time is your uni's property. we do most of our research in our free time anyway.
why
Probably the number of actual code lines vs. comments and whitespace.

using windows APIs requires 4x as many lines as using linux APIs

What is the situation with these now?
I remember, back in 2012 I had a few problems running Linux on netbooks with c-50 and e-350 APUs. The big one was a hardware video decoding which simply didn't work. I wonder if something has changed in the past 4 years?
I don't know about the closed source drivers, but Mesa works like a charm on AMD graphics cards. Nowadays it's safe to buy any AMD graphics card and expect it to work out of the box.
>>57695201
mesa works good, even played civ 5 on 4k.
EXCEPT it can't wake up from hibernating. 1 on 3 times it just fucks up
Pretty much everything works, including hardware offload of video streams. (Hardware compatibility with the codecs are a different thing.) Just emerge mpv.
I'd say pre-GCN from HD2000 and on works the best, followed by R300 and older GCN cards. Newer GCN cards using the AMDGPU driver might be a little magical still, and pre-R300 cards may be too old to be loved.
I slapped together a FM2+ system and everything just worked out of the box.
