It’s all trash. Everything normal people use on a daily basis is pure dumpster fire level garbage with massive, HEINOUS, unforgivable amounts of tracking built in.

They know all of this. They just don’t care.

I think that’s more of a blep than a derp

Hey- sorry to revive a very old conversation, but this evening I was updating my pihole server and noticed there weren’t any changes/additions to Quidsup’s notrack block list- so I started looking around and realized I hadn’t seen a video from him in years either.

Do you know what became of him? I used to really enjoy his stuff and it’s like he just left the internet.

Oh no

Anyway

Tell me you wasted 90 dollars without telling me you wasted 90 dollars

In that case, you’ve got some work to do to cripple telemetry on your PC. If you’re on Windows 11 (new 24H2 build) you’d better also disable Recall, because it’s on. https://pureinfotech.com/uninstall-recall-windows-11/

I hate Windows but I don’t hate you- protect yourself

OOSU10 and OFGB should also be run on it.

I DO NOT want to be forced to use a terminal

I challenge you to fresh install any version of Windows and never use CMD Prompt, Powershell, or Regedit for any reason, ever.

On the up side, it’s now very, VERY easy to tell who is an idiot in the main hub cities within 10 seconds of the auction house.

Try it mofo, my laptop has a hardware off switch for mic+webcam

Kick ass, Good job

Very helpful thank you.

Yeah was standard pro I saw it on.

Good, it’s been my experience, at least on fully updated 10.

Hate to be “that guy”, and maybe OP’s no updates since 2019 exempt them from this, but modern 10/11 both immediately auto-restart the Windows update service when it’s manually stopped.

I haven’t had anything beyond a hug from my mother in 10 years.

A boss of mine some time ago would sneak up and pat me on the back, scaring me most of the time. Back then I hated it.

These days something like that would make my whole week.

That switches you to a phone app platform that hides the ads but records everything about you from your telemetry and sells it.
