>>Operating system will *override the hosts file* to connect to Microshaft
hosts file isn't needed for direct IP connections, only for domain resolution requests.
And it can be bypassed by many things in the OS already, like nslookup.

You have to realize that using the hosts file as a blocking mechanism was never its intended purpose. That's what firewalls are for.

We are talking about the home version.

This is microsoft's strategy:
- make tons of news which only show "positive" aspects of a new feature, also highlight a few times that it's optional/temporary in the beta
Most users buy it and think it's ok or they plan to just disable it
- a few months later, days before the introduction of said feature, make a small announcement where Microsoft states that it's going to be forced after all. No major news site will write an article about it.
- Some users realize that the "feature" does not work as expected, but are shown the small announcement and accept yet another inconvenience. Most users don't care since they are barely able to understand how their computer even works.

Examples where microsoft has already played this strategy:
- Telemetry
- Forced updates

next up:
- "Deprecation" of Win32 software

You do know all your files are hashed either by indexing or the malware scanner and then sent to MS? This is how MS knows you have counterfeit software installed and can remove it.

Even if you disable everything you can windows 10 still indexes all your files and sends that back to Microsoft too. A lot of people don't care about privacy and Windows 10 is a great operating system for them but for anyone who cares it is garbage.

There's a setting that disables sharing of detected malware samples with microsoft.
The indexing thing is simply not true. Do share if you have any proof saying otherwise.

>>59154254
>Thank you for choosing to participate in a pre-release program for our next version of Windows!
That applies to the insider builds only.

There's definitely additional telemetry in those builds but that still doesn't explain how a 6kb file produces two full size png screenshots.
He's also using a program called "RSA Decryptor v.1.9.2". That was one hell of a development cycle if he reached version fucking 1.9.2.
He's passing a "type" argument that says "SS". Probably supposed to mean screenshot. As if that fucking matters to a program that's simply decrypting an rsa stream.
And then it spits out a .bin file even though it was already told that it's supposed a screenshot.

It's so much fucking bullshit that I don't understand how anyone could believe it.

>>59151350

Not to make you worry or anything but I asked on /g/ three times already about that, if somebody would like to check it. One guy had especially funny time when he left his PC running for 12h and didnt spot anything this Russian guy was showing.

GP is just a nice frontend for modifying the registry.

There's no Group policy editor on win10 home

That version sounds amazing. But it looks like a hassle to get into.

>>59154550

Last time I checked, they can still modify the registry.

>>59154547

Actually, it takes priority now. If GP is left as "not configured", the registry changes will take place. If GP is configured, registry values will be ignored. MS points that out.

>>59154583

You have masses of evidence by Microsoft's own Privacy Statements saying they will snoop on this and snoop at that, yet here we have Microsoft apologists arguing everyone else is wrong, or, something Microsoft said doesn't apply to [x].

Depends on what you're doing in the VM. If you give the VM at least two cores, 8-10GB of RAM, and do a GPU passthrough (this means the iGPU runs the host OS and the dedicated one play the games), then you should be ok with most games on medium settings. Again, this really depends on how good or bad your hardware is.

a few years ago the same people would've been saying

windows 10 just attracted more pirates and BRs now who will tolerate this garbage because it's free

>>59156026
>You have masses of evidence by Microsoft's own Privacy Statements saying they will snoop on this and snoop at that
Mostly applies to your microsoft account activity, e.g. e-mail, onedrive, skype etc.
The privacy statement will be pretty much the same for any other similar service.

>yet here we have Microsoft apologists arguing everyone else is wrong, or, something Microsoft said doesn't apply to [x].
Because people keep taking random lines from the privacy statement out of context.
People will see that windows can optionally send back data about how you use the word prediction functionality in the on-screen keyboard and say that windows has a keylogger.
When microsoft mentions that they will share your emails (hotmail) and files (onedrive) with law enforcement, people assume that windows will upload files from their harddrive.

And then there are people who keep spamming some variation of "b-but windows 10 does x too and even though you can disable i-it's not actually disabled!"

>>59151091
>links from microsoft
Well if they say their os is fine it must be true right? :^)
Seriously, OP, it's time to give up. I'm not even against telemetry but a serious OS should have the option to opt-out.
All this commercial telemetry and advertising ID's are just bullshit that belong in a shady freeware app you download from google playstore. Windows 10 is supposed to be a serious OS. People pay a lot of money for it. They are good customers who may expect good service. Not to spend hours disabling ads and memory consuming telemetry to avoid being used. It's like selling a house but refusing to leave and following the buyers around the house trying to sell them a fridge for the rest of their life.

All these goddamn nigger Indians shilling for microsoft. When is trump going to ban them from the internet with a big beautiful firewall.

But you can't opt-out, Anon. And some of the things you can opt-out on litterally turn themselfs on again. If you quit talking about how awesome the fridge is after people ask it 24 times but still follow them around the house silently you're still trying to sell your fridge.

How does THIS make you feel, pajeet?

>>59158556
>How does THIS make you feel, pajeet?
Makes me feel glad that someone compiled all the settings into a single image. Infographics generally seem a lot more approachable to the masses.
Personally I find using the group policy editor a lot easier than wading through the settings app but you do you.

>>59158555
>b-but there's this other thing that really can't be turned off i swear!!!!

>>59158614
Yeah, the group policy editor is so intuitively to use when compared to the settings app/control panel
Oh wait

Anyway you seem a bit shaken.

>>59158639
>Yeah, the group policy editor is so intuitively to use when compared to the settings app/control panel
It's organized better.
It's searchable.
The options are very well documented (makes it even easier to search).
It has options that are not available in settings/control panel.

>Oh wait
You were saying?

>>59158614
>out of arguments

I really hope you're just succesfully trolling me cus this is just too pathetic

>>59158704
I am sorry but since your post contained no actual arguments all I could do is rephrase it hoping that you would understand how silly it sounds.
There's really not much I can do if you believe that disabling some settings isn't actually disabling it.

Remember that """bug""" which reset the privacy settings?
People really fell for that

Why does everyone keep saying that you can't disable automatic updates? I just went directly to services and disabled it from there, and it's yet to turn back on.

Does microsoft turn it on, then turn it off again without me knowing?

>>59158860
The point is that the average user has not turned it off
Of course we won't have a large problem even if they really upgrade home users to "cloud" because we actually know how to use our computers. But the average person won't be able to reinstall another windows version

Ah. So it's a normie problem. It sucks, but hopefully they get their crap together. The steam fanbase actively revolted against Valve with their paid mods, I just hope MS's supporters are willing to do the same.

>>59158911
It will affect even us if all the software is only available from the shitty windows store and is only compatible with win10

Wouldn't be surprised if the service re-enabled itself in a few days

shhhh, it that is just a bug :^)

What are my options as a gamer? I'm still on 7 because I like my privacy.

Install Linux and fuck around (possibly forever) to get vt-d working on a virtual machine?

Install Windows 10, VM Linux and use windows for nothing but gaming?

Install Windows 10 and firewall literally everything I don't need?

The fact that all the next gen CPUs wont work on 7 has me perturbed.

>people arguing about being compromised here and disable telemetry while using hardware not supported by libreboot/coreboot

>>59158781
(((bug)))

>>59159093
If this shit really lands, more companies might move gaming to linux
Because they are threatened by microsoft and don't want to pay 30% revenue for every fucking sale through their store

A "gaming" distro like steamOS but for desktops, too would be great

>>59159093
Win7
macOS + Win7 in Parallels
Win10 LTSB
macOS + Win10LTSB in Parallels

>>59159095
All of my hardware is supported by Libreboot or Coreboot and I've used ME Cleaner to disable the Intel Management Engine.

>>59159093
I use linux simply because I like it more, the fact there's already 3000+ games already is just a plus for me. However the fact is that the bigger the linux marketshare is it will be harder for game developers to ignore it, they'll be obligated to both support it and optimize their games for it same as Windows. If you are worried about what Microsoft may do you should give linux a change and support the developers who support your it. At the end Microsoft keeps locked a lot of people in their products using anti competitive tactics rather than making better products and keeping happy their customers. Companies affected by Microsoft tactics are already starting to bet for common open technologies, you can help to accelerate the process and earn a future where no company can push bullshit on you.

I don't like, for example, the Metro style UAC dialog in LTSB 2016. 2015 has one like Win7.
But then, I'm a fag who skins Win10 to make it look like Seven.

>>59156026
You only use Windows virtualized for legacy software. Even as you main OS for work, say with AutoCAD, Adobe, and friends, you should maintain it with the WSUS Offline Update, disconnected from the network, and running virtualized. The penalty for this is small, say, 4GB, one ir two cores and maybe 5% of speed loss.

Several things can be done to minimize speed loss. Fast scratch disks for some software are good. Abuse SSDs. Always get 64GiB of RAM. If you can afford it, server boards with more memory and/or as many HyperDrive 5 units as you can buy. Here more cores will shine.

For games, you can use passthrough with a dedicated video card or cards.

A host level firewall will enable you to block all annoyances inside the Windows guest.

If you use a FreeBSD host, you can have the added benefit of ZFS for data storage. Use it on Windows as shared folders.

And keep your personal data out of Windows.

>>59159124
Some OpenGL extensions arw proprietary and they cannot be implemented in free as in freedom drivers, only in free as in beer ones. Just a small problem, but still.

And last time I checked, Linux does not support bandwidth control by process, like Windows. So, Internet access control in a Linux system, if everyone migrates to it, will tend to be worse.

>>59159234
I have enough games for life with a NES emulator.

And then there is the Super Nintendo. WinUAE seems to work properly on Wine. What else would I need?

>>59159093
>Install Linux and fuck around (possibly forever) to get vt-d working on a virtual machine?
Yes. Virtualization will hide the newer chipsets from Windows 7, thus allowing you to keep using it until update support ends.
However, some new games will require capabilities enabled only by the latest DirectX, a problem that will get worse over time. You can't escape Skynet for gaming, so, virtualize it.

>>59162093
The "new chipsets wont get any windows updates" thing was pure FUD anyway.

>>59158556

So you prevented millions of idiots who cant think for themselves from installing certain OS.

As Windows user, I consider it good - less idiots among userbase, less complains about things they dont understand.

>>59161999
It's not like it would only contain open source software
The important thing would be that the system won't be in hands of a shitty corporation

I would suggest trying to cure it tho.

>>59151247
Not entirely true: It only analyses images that you upload to/through their services (onedrive, outlook) which you have to do by your own choice.

Fun fact: MS came up with the photoDNA software and it is also used by all google services, twitter, facebook, etc because it's useful for hunting out pedos/lincucks.

>>59158535

>only available in Enterprise

>>59162385
>paranoia

You can't be this deluded

>>59162511

Yes, paranoia because they state what kind of data they are collecting, why and why you shouldnt worry about it.

Yet, /g/ sperg about that ANY data is being collected or even sent. Worse, I frequently hear about how I shouldnt believe ANYTHING they say because /g/ dogma states that every corporate product is evil, because its not open source.

It IS paranoia. Or Asperger. Or both.

>>59162866
>you shouldnt worry about it.
So you don't worry about it because they told you not to.

>>59162409
That specific setting is also available in Pro.
But some others are Enterprise only, so I would not recommend using Pro.

>>59151424
happens all the time..
does that mean that every update is a mistake?

>>59161925
Debian host here.
You can compile ZFS 0.7 RC3 as a kmod and get the latest checksums/ performance on Linux.

>>59162883

I dont worry because I checked what they collect and how they use it, instead of riding on /g/ memes and believing that everytime something connect with outside word it MUST be for user harm.

People suffering from paranoia, however, wont accept any explanations, instead trying to find "hidden motives" in everything and assuming that everybody around only wants their harm. Nothing to laugh about.

What do they mean by this /g/?

>>59165809
If you can't trust compiled binaries, then compile them yourself.
You cannot do that with windows. This argument make no sense.

>>59165829
I am saying that I do trust the compiled binaries. Microsoft isn't hiding telemetry (from enterprise users at least).
That would be retarded because it's easily detected.

>>59165851
>That would be retarded because it's easily detected.
How so? Have you checked all the compiled windows components by reverse engineering the bytecode?

I don't need to reverse engineer anything to monitor network traffic.

I don't.

>>59165909
Are you telling me that windows doesn't send ANYTHING encrypted when you think that you have turned off telemetry?

>>59165880
You're literally a faggot and a retard.

>>59165923
Here's a complete list of things my installation of Windows does automatically and involves network:
- Checks internet connectivity using http://www.msftconnecttest.com/connecttest.txt when I connect to a network
- Updates the certificate list
- Downloads updates and installs them if they don't require a restart
- Downloads drivers and any related files when I plug in a new device
- Periodically synchronizes the system clock

I could disable all of that if I wanted to.

>>59166011
What if windows update is used to transmit the telemetry?

>>59166018
Depends on what you call telemetry. Telemetry about the update process, failed updates and similar is governed by the global telemetry level setting.
It's still sending data required for the actual update process such as your version of Windows.
