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’t “disable” telemetry but that’s snake oil. There is no disabling the data MS hoards and wants.

    You can lock it inside an no-internet zone (whoever you want to do that, virtualization, etc.) but it’s still collecting and the moment a connection goes live, it’ll transmit all of it). Also an Os without internet is the real joke.

    Run Linux. All the hoops you jump through trying to make Windows “private” is an exercise in futility.

    And FWIW, MS has been ramping up telemetry as they keep pushing into “Windows as a Service.” So good luck with all that.

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