Are Windows 10 Privacy issues as bad as people say they are?

yes and no

yes everything about your use is collected

no in that even if you didn't use Windows 10, your ISP and web sites still collect everything they can

>>59916939
Yes.

>>59916939
Yes

But people complaining about privacy issues are also using smartphones so...

If they are that bad should I be concerned and switch to linux?

>>59917008
install gentoo

depends on what the fuck you do on your computer you shady fuck

also many applications collect shit

also your CPU has a hardware backed which allows for remote data collecting

>>59916939
no. nobody cares about you.

>>59917133
Of course not. They just collect everything possible about you for shits and giggles.

The "nothing to hide" argument is bullshit, precisely because of this. All it takes is one leak, and your fucking spybot computer is open to the entire world.

I don't give a damn what the CIA or NSA knows about me, I'm worried about them being retarded and letting script kiddies into my system because they can't keep their shit locked down.

There's zero reason to use an OS that makes it easier for them to screw you over by being idiots.

>>59917152
yeah, to sell you ads i block anyways.

>>59917152
they aren't looking at you as an individual, you're just a figure adding to a huge statistic

>>59917068
This is real or just amdrone shills?

both intel and AMD CPUs have hardware backends, it's not even some conspiracy theory

the conspiracy theory part is that they are collecting data through this hardware backend

because the main CPU has no way of even knowing when this hardware backend hardware is reading your RAM
