Greetings fellow privacy enjoyers,

Short of blackout curtains or storm shutters what’s a good way to make sure the window is secured?

Thank me in advance

There isn’t one. You make the trade for your personal data. MS has bee siphoning for a long time and they are adding more daily.

You can “disable” telemetry but that’s snake oil. There is no disabling the data MS hoards and wants. And they want it all. Moreover, you can’t ever be sure. Ever.

You can sandbox it with no internet but it’s still collecting and the moment a connection goes live, it’ll transmit all of it. Also an OS without internet is of little value these days.

MS has been ramping up telemetry as they keep pushing into “Windows as a Service.” So good luck with all that. Now and the next year and year after that.

Run Linux. Literally, just make the switch and go back to when computing was just you and your PC.

Run Linux? House was built in 69, don’t know if it’s compatible with that smart house technology.

My man, your joke is somehow in the stratosphere and flying completely over this tread.😄
