If you use ANY piece of software from FAGMAN companies you're literally being spied on. Deal with it.

yup. Remember the 'compatability' assistant for win7 to help you 'upgrade' to win 10? that scanned every exe and dll on your HD and put it in an xml file which was uploaded to microsoft.

That's something that has always bothered me about limited data plans. Lets say you want to pay for like, 2 GB or something for a month and then MicroGoogle smear their dick all over your data for their bullshit and you don't get what you paid for.

Windows spying on you is not news, we've known about it since Windows 8, and Windows 10 was notorious for its shady ass "telemetry" features that you had to battle with the OS to disable.
Windows 11 is even worse than 10 with how invasive it is on your privacy. In fact it's best to assume W11 is compromised completely.

>>716165341What is up with burgers and having "data plans" for their internet, like, if you browse youtube for too long your internet will run out or something?

>>716163109 (OP)Based Microsoft get fucked goyim
>>716166120What he was talking about sounded more like a mobile data plan, not terrestrial internet. Some ISPs in the US do have data caps though, which is a limit of how much you can download per month before you get charged additional fees for going over your cap. Comcast was the most notorious for doing this, and they are one of the big two ISPs that have regional monopolies on a lot of places.
Data caps are completely bullshit and were implemented by them as rent-seeking behavior and for no other reason, and now that many states are rolling out municipal fiber internet service to compete with them, Comcast mysteriously is getting rid of data caps (since city-run fiber never has any) despite not doing any infrastructure upgrades since they were implemented.
>>716165965>Windows 10 was notorious for its shady ass "telemetry" features that you had to battle with the OS to disableYou can't even really disable those because windows update will periodically enable them again behind your back. It's such fucking cancer.

Use Libreoffice or the browser version of 365, it's not like Word is a killer app. Now Excel...
BTW this is a reason to use SERVER, and specifically older builds like 2019 because most of the telemetry can be gutted with gpedit.
>LTSC
yeah but the 2021 version IF updated gets tons of "services" who belongs to the professional version, unless you leave it stock and disable windows update. LTSC 2019 is kinda fine to update.

>>716167689is microsoft server any different than your standard 10 build? do i need to modify it to make it functional or is it fully functional on a fresh install as an OS?
>>716167731Valve used to use Debian and they had to switch, it's a distro that prides itself with stable (read: old) software and kernels. In Linux world this means you are going to be stuck with old drivers, which is for gaming can be from undesiderable to a dealbreaker. If you use a 15 years old GPU or a Thinkpad from 2008 I guess it makes no difference though.
>>716163109 (OP)>windows is spying on you buy my service and join my discord
>>716167689You can turn off some facultative telemetry, but that's about it.
>>716168027I don't play modern slop games so this isn't an issue.
>>716166936Like trying to build your own car from scratch vs buying one. Unless you're sattisfied with an OS with less shit than win95 it's going to become a nightmare. There's a reason distros full of bloatware exist, you want someone else to go through the nightmare of testing and fixing stuff for you.
>>716167149>not on 1111 LTSC doesn't have any of 11's bloat, adware, or telemetry. It's completely possible.
>>716168027Good thing Debian also has a bleeding edge branch if you want the newest packages.
>>716167918If it's like IoT, it lacks gaming performance fixes and features (like the CPU scheduling fix for both Intel and AMD, DirectStorage support, and so on).
just use a firewall if it bothers you so much, what's the problem?
>>716167918its a little bitchy at first because it uses a separate control panel to enable and add features, but after you set it up server works just like standard Windows.
The AMD chipset has to be installed individually on the device manager and so the GPU driver because pajeets at AMD removed the server from the installer list. You can get the trial version and activated it to full with MAS once

>>716167443Nta but you can run your own DNS server at home which tells your machine to go fish when it requests the IP address of a known collections endpoint.

PostmarketOS seemed very unfinished and even slimmer device support for full features
>>716169197Those require special hardware that just isn't used in phones. Even back then, x86 was never common for phones. They need to figure out how to make it on ARM and then we'll get a mobile version of most distros and can install it on anything.
Phones could be sold by their hardware instead of software, you could buy a phone that's just the specs you want or need and then install whatever, free of cost and end up with a much superior machine.
>>716169569That's exactly its use case
>>716169569 Yeah Bazzite is solid for that. It's basically a gaming-focused distro built on Fedora and comes pre-tweaked with all the good stuff - Steam, Proton GE, gamemode, and drivers out of the box. Works great with both AMD and Nvidia cards surprisingly. Just be ready to tinker a little if you run into odd edge case bugs, but for gaming and browsing /v/ all day, it's comfy.

If something significant were to happen that draws attention to the topic, people might start to care. But I doubt anything will change and will only get worse in the future.
I do care, but I feel powerless when the company I work for relies on Windows and Google products. I'm employed by a $30 billion company that uses Microsoft for everything. At this point, my data is long gone.
I never worked at a company that doesn't use MS, Google, or Apple products, all of which have the same spyware.
>>716177378>If everyone did XThe problem is, everyone won't. That's why "If everyone just..." is never anything more than a fleeting hope.
>>716178173My point is that change comes from a lot of people making small decisions and encouraging the people around them to make the same decision. Despite corporation's attempts, the trend is pointing towards more people taking privacy seriously. If you put effort in now, you can make the shift happen sooner.
>>716175069There are ARM devices with standardized boot, and even within the AMD64 space there is proprietary hardware that is difficult for Linux based OSes to support. It is still the status quo however that a lot of ARM Linux devices get pretty poor support from their vendor for installing anything other than the distribution they pre-install, and don't have upstream drivers.
Probably not likely to change any time soon. Only a tiny percentage of the population care about open standardized open boot loaders to make sure an OS can be replaced, or open source drivers to ensure the OS can run properly.
>>716172593should I just go for LTSC? I know basic computer stuff and I'm pretty sure I'd be able to figure these things out by searching on the internet but fuck, I really don't want to have to tinker settings for every game.
>>716178505I've been putting the effort in since internet privacy became a concern, people won't make changes until something forces them too, there have already been more dangerous data breaches in the last few years than in most of online history combined before that. If learning that 3/4 of Americans fullz are floating around on dredd didn't force the public's hands, nothing will.
>>716173309I really don't want to upgrade to 11. That's just more resources my PC is going to have to need to run on by default. When I made the jump from 7 to 10, I could tell a difference in performance.
>>716178830Might as well buy some thigh high socks and a cat ear headset now anon :^)
>>716178830>When I made the jump from 7 to 10, I could tell a difference in performance.Same, got way better performance on 10. Booted faster, used less RAM, actually took advantage of the 8 threads of my CPU, better FPS in pretty much all games.
Then they inevitably fucked it up with the constant updates. Downgraded to 8.1 which had all the improvements and none of the drawbacks. I still use 8.1 to this day.
>>716178723Even the long-term support version of Windows is really only setup to run disconnected devices or information kiosks. Desktop isn't the intended application, and even if you can force it to function as one in the short term it really only buys a couple more years before software starts to drop support.
>>716179383>it really only buys a couple more years before software starts to drop supportWindows 7 lost support from Microsoft 5 years ago and Firefox still supports it. Steam still runs and all the games that supported 7 still work on it. 10 will likely get support from many apps until at least 2030.

"turn off telemetry" is a vague statement though.... Windows 10 have so many services that does nothing that spying on you, and even if you find a way to disable them (and their surrogate recovery services (the whole fucking OS is acting like a malware lol)) they will just "fix" your change in the next update, that same update you will be forced to install because most developers nowadays are too lazy to check their dependencies cycle, making their software/games not boot if you are 2 years behind in updates.
It's not only micro$hit that fucked up the entire PC industry, it's also the laziness of the users and developers that let this entire shit show grew so big.

>>716186835That's because you must not have disabled things they deem necessary to fix, or, they didn't added yet an update to fix it (depend how long you were using it).
On windows 10, if you disable windows update, task scheduler, medic services etc... you can expect in the next 6 month/1 year to have an update that will "fix" it and prevent you to disable it (unless going another route).

>>716187840Exactly, and the thing is, Android showed to the world that it is actually possible to provide an "alternative/competitive" OS against Apple/Microsoft (yes, it's the mobile industry and it was helped by Google, but still).

>>716187902There's a massive difference between a potential backdoor in silicon that's never used and a company just logging everything you do. It's not even a privacy thing but also security, recall was already seen capturing passwords by accident and stored in a way that is trivial to recover.
You have to understand it's not a thing anyone would blow on some random uninteresting person. Whatever packets it'd be sending would be visible, instructions inside need to be specific and if you think they would be remote, the system must accept inbound traffic. If you block inbound traffic on an external device, it won't work.
There's also the thing that's ME is used in enterprise and is reasonably well documented. It has legitimate uses beyond being an alleged backdoor.
You have dozens of blackbox firmware blobs in the system and all the hardware you're using that you implicitly trust. There's also been reports of backdoored hardware with malware flashed onto the firmware after they've left the factory by criminals.
ME histeria borders on paranoia while recall is a legitimate issue. Middle of the road you have supply chain attacks but these mainly target enterprise. There were instances of consumer electronics being attacked but they're usually not sophisticated like rootkits because that is expensive and difficult to do but basic shit like malware preinstalled on a Windows partition.
Even if ME is a backdoor, it's very low on the list of things to worry about. I usually only see it mentioned just to spread FUD to discourage people from switching to Loonix etc and by schizos.
>>716189128Everyone calls them Linux distros. Believe it or not but there are other components that are not a part of the GNU project but we don't see people asking to call the system GNU/whatever/Linux. It's just GNUfag autism.
>>716173309>a lot of software blacklists Windows Server for no reasonThey blacklist Windows Server because no normal person should be using it as a non-server OS, and because it lacks a shit load of things from normal Windows it will run into a ton of compatibility problems.

Very good. You just made yourself immune to the corpo advertising plot.
>>716193638>Doesn't that just mean every ad works on you, not none of them?How so?
I go to the store, I buy several different drinks, try them out, and pick which one I like best.

So yea you are full of shit.
>>716192795Your insurance company might want to know any potentially dangerous habits you've picked up.
And as the other Anon has pointed out, you are not free from manipulation. What about reading reviews that were specifically catered to people like you? With Google SEO, it's not impossible for them to specifically curate a set of items they want you to buy with language that might convince you.
Hell, even more practical, is that they might present something that you didn't even realize you wanted until they showed it to you.
Also, privacy is a right. I don't shit in a glass house for good reason
>>716193730Which store did you choose? Why? Why do you drink energy drinks in the first place? What will happen if your gf/crush ask you to come to her place and she propose you 2 drinks that you never tested, and that you need to choose one?
>>716193730>I go to the store, I buy several different drinks, try them out, and pick which one I like best.Do this with dehumidifiers. Anything you might not be 100% knowledgeable on could easily be exploited by an advertiser to sell you some inefficient piece of garbage.
>>716193869>Your insurance company might want to know any potentially dangerous habits you've picked up.Yes and? Stop smoking and being a fat unhealthy retard if you want smaller payments for cover.
All you saying is you want to be able to do insurance fraud here.

(Even though we know that malwares and backdoor pre-installed into stuff aren't some fairy tales, hell, remember the 2024 Lebanon exploding beepers?)
>>716193780What's wrong with that?
Do you go to the restaurant and pick the dish in the biggest rainbow font, or do you consult the menu fully?
I read the menu in full, and decide what sounds nice, and also make a value assessment based on the price of the dish vs its components. I'm not paying $20 for a salad when a double stack burger is $12, for example. If a store has a higher than usual price for a Monster, I'll buy a "lesser" drink that's cheaper, because I know what the price of a Monster should be. And if Monster changed, I would shop for something else. Don't become a slave to brands.
>>716193680Well yes, I don't buy based on what's on the box. If a GPU maker came along tomorrow that raped the shit out of AMD and NVIDIA for less money, I'd probably buy that instead. I don't give a shit about what's on the box, it could be 2 monkeys fucking a football for all I care.
>>716193996>Which store did you choose?Whichever is in the area. I don't shop at one store.
>Why?I tend to shop where it's cheapest, or shop at a store that stocks a product another doesn't, for example, Monster Ripper is not stocked in many stores but my local corner shop does stock it.
>Why do you drink energy drinks in the first place?They taste nicer compared to most standard sodas.
>What will happen if your gf/crush ask you to come to her place and she propose you 2 drinks that you never tested, and that you need to choose one?What flavors are they, what brands are they, what are the ingredients, do they use real fruit juice, is it carbonated or not, how much caffeine is in them, what sweeteners do they use (cause aspartame tastes like ass)?
>>716194229>Again goes down the conspiracy schizo hole to dodge the argument.LMAO please stop posting you are only hurting yourself.

>>716194010>Do this with dehumidifiers. Anything you might not be 100% knowledgeable on could easily be exploited by an advertiser to sell you some inefficient piece of garbage.I normally spend about 2 weeks deciding on large purchases. I research the product, read reviews, spec sheets, check Trustpilot and other consumer feedback platforms, check brand reputation, check the warranty period, what the warranty covers etc, the store's return policy, as many stores you can return even if used, especially if it's a distance sale. Under DSR you can return a product within 14 days if you have not had an opportunity to view or handle the product in person.

That being said anyone who partakes in assisting in that behavior should be killed off by having them hung by a fish-hook through their tongue and left to starve like liars.
>>716194237>I tend to shop where it's cheapestSo already one manipulation, since they decrease the price on some products to increase elsewhere.
>They taste nicer compared to most standard sodas.Sugar.
>What flavors are they, what brands are they, what are the ingredients, do they use real fruit juice, is it carbonated or not, how much caffeine is in them, what sweeteners do they use (cause aspartame tastes like ass)?You already lost before that, she only give you 2 choices, guess what motivated her to buy those 2 drinks specifically?
You can't escape it.
>>716194447>they sell your data And how is this "data" going to hurt me?
I don't do crimes because i am not a nigger.
I am mainstream conservative and not an extremist.
I have adblock installed in Brave.
I don't buy anything without reading reviews or video guides and checking specs.
So if all you can come out with is the big sinister plot to make me see a Honda ad as i go to work. It it not very effective "plot". And these guys who are "behind" it are just scamming other deluded rich assholes.
>>716194375Reviews can be bought, spec sheets can be misleading, trust pilot is not immune, and consumer feedback is not guaranteed.
Also, I don't think you've ever actually filed a warranty claim. I have. I've spent several months waiting for a warranty to actually go through and that was after an extensive troubleshooting process. All the meanwhile I actually need a product to function properly or risk additional inconveniences or even costly damages.
Finally, plant obsolescence is a thing. You can absolutely be sold a product that will work good enough for about a year and then shit the bed, only to find out that there was potentially a better product, but it was buried in reviews for mediocre slop.
>>716194628Stop thinking you are living in a vacuum. You live in a society, if they can't corrupt you (which is great), they will corrupt your surrounding, and sooner or later, you will be impacted by it.

>>716194741Makes a person ponder how many private sector companies have bots and scrape posts.
Its sad to see.
>>716194632>spec sheets can be misleadingSo they engineer this billion dollar plan to trick people in to buying something out of spec that will be just returned as faulty, when it does not work as intended.
You do know even in the US we have very strong consumer return laws. So this plan makes 0 sense to do.
>>716194741>Take a look, you are here, on 4chan, guess why?Because i like shitposting, not because i am LARPing as a rebel thinking you are Che in the jungle Junta faggot. You have unwarranted self importance bro.

How you gather information and make informed decisions are not within your control. Information is a commodity in which they own. If they know how you think and how you buy, they can use it against you.
But sure, continue to hurl inults. I don't care if you buy garbage and act smug, that's your own prerogative.
>>716194628Its just annoying to have your data sold off to algos to try and get time wasting ads on your screen when you don't care for ads, I just don't want to have my data sold unless I'm in control who it gets sold to (nobody) and I'm not getting any profits from my private information being commercialized to every Jim, Timmy and Chang to access without any payments going to me directly. Fuck that espionage shit, I'm not a product and if you think I'm a product you better pay up jew, 50% of whatever profits generated through selling my data going straight back to me or nothing, its for the damages really and any blackmail/extortion shit they try to pull off illegally through that shit is also just straight up illegal on its own they are only getting away because they are jews.

A spec sheet doesn't have to tell you that the parts to this product cannot be purchased anywhere else.

>Also, I don't think you've ever actually filed a warranty claim. Just last year I had my earbuds replaced by Bose due to the right ear whistling, 18 months into the 2 year warranty. They upgraded the buds to the Ultra model at no cost, as they didn't manufacture the QuietComforts Buds 1s anymore, and turnaround time for sending it to Belgium (with a UPS label paid for by them) and the new buds arriving was around 10 days.
> I've spent several months waiting for a warranty to actually go through....
Well, over here, you have to sort it in a "reasonable time", which is usually less than 28 days. If they don't, you can then look at legal options.
> plant obsolescence is a thingI don't own any plants, plants tend to die anyway as they're living things.
>You can absolutely be sold a product that will work good enough for about a year and then shit the bed...In the UK, consumers have legal rights to claim for faulty goods for up to six years from the date of purchase. This is not a warranty provided by the manufacturer or retailer, but a statutory right under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. If it's a product that would be reasonably expected to last longer than the warranty period, you can claim.
glow harder Mr "And how is this "data" going to hurt me?"
>>716195179>A spec sheet doesn't have to tell you that they're using subpar O-rings that will fail on you in a moment's notice.So you want them to mystically foresee the future of a manufacturing defect?

The faggot is absolutely shitter shattered i am counting his arguments. With critical thinking.
There is a cream you can apply to your asshurt bro. :)
It is called bengay. I know because the Plaitir advertising conspiracy showed it when i was also making others ass hurt.
>>716194989Oh, so you're actually underage? Well, just so you know, when you have dependence, it's usually a good idea to have life insurance. You're effectively taking on a gamble that could save your family's future if something were to go wrong.
When you do sign up for life insurance, there are these people called actuaries and underwriters. Part of their job is understanding and mitigating risk for the company. They need to look at you and guess when you might die.
If you don't believe me, I think New York Life has a survey you can take online without any commitment. They will ask about your hobbies, and if your hobbies are potentially dangerous, they could ask for an insane premium as a result.
If you think this is unique to just life insurance and want to consider a scam, how about mandatory car insurance? What if all state found out that you played a lot of racing games? And based off of their data, found that most people that play racing games are aggressive drivers, thus justifying in their eyes the rise in their prices?
>>716195179You've made a list of things all covered by consumer protection law, and you think this is a gotcha? I can take the product to an Independent Assessor, they'll determine the nature of the fault and the reason why it happened, faulty O-ring for example, and then the manufacturer has to resolve it and pay for any related costs.
>>716195414Point out the protest insurance bro. You said the retard shit not me.
>>716195390>That place is a shithole and getting worseI agree with you

>>716165630Deleting your browser history is illegal btw even if everyone does it
>>716195445The more they keep talking about this supposed plot. The more it looks like it was thought up by Pinky and the Brain. It has so many moving parts and points of failure.
>>716195315Oh, so you've never actually repaired anything in your life or built anything for that matter.
using undersized fittings or inadequate ball joints or not even properly lubricating moving parts are all things that will obviously lead to wear and failure. Why do you think there is a consumer reports rating on reliability of cars? All of their spec sheets would say that they're perfect and have no defects whatsoever. Yet, Jeep is capable of frying itself entirely because of a shotty wiring harness or risky drainage. And once that computer dies, you practically have to total the car given the labor alone to repair
>>716195461Public liability insurance, exactly the same kind of coverage as if your dog bites someone.
>>716195573>so you've never actually repaired anything in your lifeRepair? Your stupid little scenario said you buy the product and that product is out of spec in an obvious manufacturer over sight or defect. You are getting confused with right to repair arguments.
>>716193473That's not a skeptic, that's just being contrarian. Which most of modern 4chan is to be fair
>>716195242>So it's ineffectual.If you start to like one of the drink she proposed you, in an indirect way, the ad she watched about that drink ended up impacting you...
>But there are things you can do to educate yourself as a consoomer.I'm not saying the opposite, what I try to explain is that, even if you try so hard to not be impacted by all of this manipulation done by the marketing, you will still suffer from it, even the choice of drinks that those company create will be tied from the data they collect from all the other users, and thus, some tastes or "creative" new ideas will be left out because the majority of the data conclude that it would be too risky for the average consumers.
This is why this constant spying is extremely dangerous and is far far far more impactful than just "lol ads go brrr", it just that it's a process so slow and hidden that you don't realize the massive impact that it have on the long run.
More than 17 years ago, some tech "scientists" and researchers where saying that we entered the age of "data", where "data" are the most valuable assets in the world, 17 years ago, wayyyyy before any AI booms etc... And they were right.
>You're reaching really hard for this.I think you mixed another post and forgot to put the ID because I didn't wrote this.
>>716195647>Public liability insuranceLMFAO You really are niggerbrained.
>>716195242NTA but look up Google SEO or sponsors on major youtube channels.
Before that people used to use these platforms to find authentic reviews and information on products. Since marketing teams have figured out that's where people are looking for that information, they flood the space with as much of their material as they can. Perhaps you think history can't repeat itself and you're legitimately convinced you'll never be susceptible to it. It seems most of us, however, have reconciled that this is not a war that can be won, only continually fought. Part of the latest fight is hiding yourself and your tactics.
>>716195180>having to change permission every time I had to open a text fileBy "change permission" do you mean using sudo to edit root-owned configuration files? If you were changing permissions to open them rather than just opening them as root, you were doing it wrong, and you probably should have just installed a better distro if you found yourself needing to edit a bunch of configuration files anyway.
If you actually mean files in your own home directory, and you actually managed to fuck up your system so badly that you didn't have permission to open your own shit, then I don't know how you even manage to use Windows without assistance.

The EU whipped Apple. The UK recently ruled in 2020 that the actions of a subsidiary is the responsibility of the parent company, even if the parent company is based overseas, opening liability up to the parent companies for violations they commit at the state level.

The product being repairable was not the point moron. The point was, is if you've ever actually opened all the garbage you bought, you would come to realize that some products are made better than others. And how they're made cannot be easily assessed by just looking at documentation they hand you.
>>716196158>Why would they use this on a small fish 4chan spastic instead of a big fish?To fulfill quotas abd shill for additional funding because of it . Do you think they only give speeding tickets to people going a hundred miles over the limit or something are you that stupid?

Further, you'd have to claim or show negligence without a doubt I would think, no? A poorly built but effectively marketed product is still legal in the UK is my point.
>>716163109 (OP)I watched about half of this video and it's mostly a bunch of hogwash.
First off, wireshark captures the packets from a network interface, what's to say this isn't just your basic bitch telemetry that MS is infamous for?
Second, why doesn't he show the start of the capture, but only the "aftermath"?
Third, you can see in real time the amount of captured packets going up, he never shows them either. Once again supports my claim that it's either just your usual invasive telemetry from MS that's nothing to do with you launching a game, or even worse he's running some shit off-screen to farm retards for content.
tl;dr the video is way too vague to prove OP's claim.

>>716166624The Pixel phones with GOS would be the best phones on the planet if they didn't suffer from their GOD AWFUL modems and craptastic processors. I swear to god, Google must be actively trying to sabotage their own fucking phones with how they are not dealing with the problems.
>>716197187Do hardware specs really matter for a phone? I don't do anything intensive with it. The only downside is that you have to give money to google to get one.
>>716196943>you could still be sold a dehumidifier that falls apart in just a few months and it would be entirely legal in your country.Errrr, no?
CRA 2015, covers for 6 years from date of purchase, goods must last a "reasonable" time, which in law is up to 6 years from purchase (unless the nature of the product is to be consumed sooner, such as food from a supermarket or a product that states it's a 6 month supply of something)
>>716197236>Do hardware specs really matter for a phone?They do up to a point, some Mediatek shitters that you can buy for $250 run like absolute ass.
>>716197236>Does hard-Yes, yes they do and not just because you want a "faster" device but you also want a device that you can use for longer than 6 hours before being forced to charge it again.
You see, the problem with the Pixel phones isn't that they aren't "fast", they are fast enough for almost all but the heaviest workloads, it's that compatibility with most stuff is ASS along with their modems and the processor itself being energy hogs.
Their modems are notoriously finicky and energy hungry to the point where even normies that are even a little connected to the tech world knows about it, it draws 3x as much energy as other similar modems does which means that as soon as you connect to a 5G network, your batterylife almost gets cut BY A THIRD if any data is sent or received.
Their processor is also using the cheapest "mid-end" GPU (Mali) they could get their hands on which lacks a lot of modern API support, like it only "partially" supports Vulkan and full OpenGL along with running hot from their "Prime Core" being overtuned and not having enough thermal mass to cool itself efficiently with.

Hence why you must use LTSC (or Tails, Graphene, Qubes, etc if you want tangible opsec) corpos are enshrined with higher protections than what is promised to and denied the citizenry. You need to exercise the demon, rebuke it, banish it. You may think you're done; but you still must pray. The tools are there for you to not be farmed for tokens like a plant v zombie, you just are required to flush the flouride from your brain enough to feel free of apathy enough to feel the drive and need to just do something about it. If you are concerned about specifically the NSA and Israel, you can't use a computer. Even if you bought it with perfect opsec, the second you connect to the internet they can narrow it down based on the lengths of your scrolls, the microscopic stutters in your movements, the curvature your fingers naturally move in when moving in what you think is a straight line, and attribute it to you. Nothing we can do to prevent this, I'm not sure if even mechahitler could do it.

However, we all know for every good idea, there is a sinister motive behind it to justify spying on you.

>>716200528yes, but generally speaking the effect of ads is rarely immediate.
ads are there to remind you that the product exist and to build up brand recognition.
>>716200528you are asking this on 4chan, of course the users here are not the main target audience for this kind of practice, the npc and the average joe on the other hand, fully swallow those ads like no tomorrow.

>>716200846You don't buy these ads. Your friends don't buy these ads. Your family doesn't buy these ads. For the NPCs that do, this kind of data collection is horrible overkill because they'll buy anything.
>>716200913I didn't say this at all, I said, 4chan users aren't the main target, and the average joe is more inclined to drink the cool aid than us.
>>716200949It's not only about buying this and that, it's also decision making, they collect the data and take decision for the next product from this data.
So even if nobody buys it (even the NPC) that data can prevent certain type of products or feature to exist, something we see in full force nowadays in video games.

Outside of some online only 100% integrated with anti-cheat (which for the most part, are dog shit games), a lot of games with anticheat still works online, either with anticheat disabled (private server) or with some workaround/cheat/patch.
>>716208974No, you are safe, unless you plan to run for presidency later on, then, I have bad news for you
>>716210323the problem about anti cheats is that if you're not on the designated list of supported software, you can and will get banned. it's not just about the game working, it's about not getting your account fucked down the line.
>>716210427True, but there is only a small list of games that really go hard on this type of behavior.
I can play Rust (EAC) right now online, of course, on non EAC servers (that also allow linux player to play on), but I can still play it without getting banned.
>>716210553at this point you're jumping through more hoops than a linux user installing arch.

>>716210651I don't want to convert anyone, the beginning of that discussion was about someone lying about the compatibility stats of W7.
A lot of online game only are still playable on W7, yes, some doesn't work, some require some patch/fix etc..., but a lot of games still work, and yes, W7 can still be installed and running perfectly on some modern hardware too.
So it's not about converting people, it's about rectifying false allegation.

Recall/Copilot holds onto everything.
Microsoft wants to push everything through their Ai slop and make it part of your everyday life no matter if its just searching for something on your PC, searching for something on the internet, video and music and the likes.
Which of course also means that this whole thing is an extreme security risk. You suddenly have one central point which - if compromised - allows the attacker to gain access to pretty much your entire system.

>>716210916i guess trying to make windows 7 work in this modern age is interesting as a hobby project.
but make no mistake, it's not something you could reasonably use to daily drive.
and honestly, if you like fiddling with shit until it works, use linux, that's what the entire community is about.
>>716211101>it's not something you could reasonably use to daily drive.Well, it is still my main OS right now (I do have a secondary build and a dual boot partition to W10 for some very specific tools), and combined with geforce now, I don't have much issue to play the game I want.
But I do plan to switch to Linux soon, I absolutely hate W10 and even more W11, it's not only about privacy and security, it's also about the entire philosophy of those OS which try to so hard to take the control of your computer away from you, which is unacceptable.
Linux is already at like 6% marketshare in the EN speaking world aka. the only relevant one and modern SteamOS ain't even officially out yet. Can see the population doubling again with Windows 10 support ending and everyone absolutely hating on 11 if Valve can react on time.
The two big reason that stopped people from using Linux were the lack of pre-installed machines and easy updates. Both of which get solved by Valve now that they are working with third parties to ship various SteamOS powered devices - potentially PC-prebuilds as well. And the Steamdeck updates as easy as people would expect from a professional OS so once we got that available on every platform with games and everything just working out of the box there is no reason not to switch.
