>tfw you finally give in to Windows 10
I am become surveillance, destroyer of privacy.
I just blocked all the surveillance.
>>56251580
same. stopped using windows ages ago.
>>56251580
>I just blocked all the surveillance.
that you know of
>>56251587
I blocked the surveillance and I am using Windows.
>>56251599
lol, sure.
>>56251594
>>56251610
Ah, the invisible dragon in the room fallacy.
The same argument can be used for Linux.
>>56251621
Ah, the I just killed a thousand ants surely they're extinct now fallacy.
>>56251621
no, not really. it's a logical possibility to inspect the totality of the code in linux. it's not practical, but it is possible.
that's not the case with windows. do you honestly not even know enough about this shit to grasp that without me having to explain it to you?
>>56251700
The code can be hidden in Linux. You will never know.

Ignorance is bliss. Windows is still spying on you. The botnet runs too deep and no matter how much you cut out the roots will remain.

Feels really good man.
I use GNU/Linux. Feels good to be surveillance free.
>>56252009
But what if you get spied on the moment you get into the internet?!
>>56252009
That also has Spyware in it.
you know the NSA can basically get any info they want on you right? even if you "block" tracking and shit it doesnt matter. they have leet haxor tools.
basically they triangulate who you are through social media, email, phone numbers, ip, etc. and then can get any and all info they want through that.
>>56252139
THIS
NSA tecnically own the internet and can rape your ass anytime if they wanted to
Just don't do anything ilegal not like filesharing but like CP and terrorism and you are fine
>>56252139
>social media, email, phone numbers
Good thing I don't have a social life then.
>>56251455
I hope you don't have to use Powershell for anything, OP. Or a webcam.
Since, you know. Microsoft went and broke those with their shiny new updates.
>Running windows 7 before telemetry update
>No spying
Feels good man
>>56252234
im pretty sure you still have a phone, email, ip, and other things.
>>56251455
>implications of spynet not on the bios level
>>56251621
PAJEET
How do I debloat my shit?
>>56251621
poo
It's not free anymore is it?
Are they going to cripple our W7 now forcing us to upgrade and pay?
>>56252286
>I need memes to post on /g/
>>56252710
You can still upgrade if your windows installation is "genuine" but it needs to be through the disability eligibility upgrade thing. It doesn't verify that you're disabled or anything but the install needs to be legit (DAZ Loader is hit or miss, my desktop failed the update but my laptops worked, all installed from the same Windows 7 & DAZ loader)
how is windows 10 now anyway? i have a feeling soon everything will only work on windows 10 and the inevitable "upgrade" may soon come for me
will my games, software, pirated shit still work? how much surveillance are they actually doing?
>>56251789
are you literally not capable of understanding what i'm saying?
>>56254680
>the inevitable "upgrade" may soon come for me
it came and went, retard. you can't upgrade for free anymore. now you'll have to pay for it.
you windows users are seriously the backwater hicks of the computing world. what's the digital equivalent of having to helicopter you out of a flooded neighborhood after telling you for a solid week that you need to evacuate?
>>56251580
>>56251599
A guy posted a link once where it was documented that in spite of turning off everything and i do mean everything windows still somehow managed to send data to Microsoft, just not as much data. Do what you will with this information.
>>56251455
why? windows 7 still works great!
>>56251455
Enjoy being able to scroll inactive windows without the need for a third party program. It's fucking great.
>>56254767
>he doesnt know how to still get it for free
>>56251789
The thing about linux right, is that while you can't really inspect it all at once, you inspect changes.Or rather, you have a group of people who've inspected every change for decades.
>>56252672
By installing LTSB 2016 instead, pre-debloated.
>>56254680
>will my games, software, pirated shit still work?
yes
>how much surveillance are they actually doing?
a lot
how much you care is up to you
>>56251789
I won't. But the hundreds of people who look at different parts of it will.
And they aren't paid by one corporation. They don't even know each other personally. So getting them all to hide a botnet inside the kernel is impossible, especially since they won't profit from it.
Whou would the Linux kernel even send the date to? Linus Torvalds?
>>56252009
>T400
>No spying
The iAMT2 in the core 2 duo P8400 CPU those thing have says otherwise.
Tfw I filter all my packets manually as they go. Literally none can spy
>>56255010
Libreboot removes AMT: https://libreboot.org/docs/hcl/t400.html
>>56252009
But who cares about YOUR data?
You could do and store whatever, still no one would care about a neckbeard...
>>56252009
>no spying
>connected to the internet
lmao
>>56254680
Apparently the latest big update is a mess. Stick to 1151(Threshold 2) if you really have to get 10
>>56251455
After being on Linux for quite a while and taking a quick detour to Windows for playing a couple of video games I couldn't believe just how bad Windows is.
Seriously, the only reason to is it is if you absolutely have to due to specific software.
I just uninstalled office from a pc running win10, during the process it uploaded 650~ MiB of data, guess it sent it back from where it was downloaded from :^)

Firewalls exist and are cheap.
>>56251700
That argument is very correct (though very infeasible) for the average joe, but if you're a large enough business or government agency, Microshit will send source your way for auditing.
