>People say they've "debloated their Windows" all the time, but have any of them actually checked to see if that was true?https://cy-x.net/articles?id=11HERES UR """DEBLOATED"" WINBLOWS 10 BROSENDING CONNECTIONS TO MICROSOFT EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU OPEN A FILE ON YOUR COMPUTERhttps://sizeof.cat/post/windows-telemetry/>Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 (what nu-/g/ shills): 20 connections>Windows Server 2019 (what 2022-nu/g/ shilled): 32 connections>Windows 7 Professional: 1 connection>usecase for respecting privacy?Enjoy sending telemetry to Microsoft only for your OS to get worse every time a new release comes out.10 users are in the same bus as 7 users. Might as well downgrade to 7 once everything magically stops working on 10 despite working in the same environment prior, amirite?10 does not magically become a privacy respecting, optimized OS after support is dropped. It is still a frankenstein combination of old native code and XAML bullshit among whatever other "frameworks" Microsoft plops onto their OSes now.
No DirectX 12 support.
>>106802559This was the only reason I moved to 10 back in the day.
>>106802555Skill issue, my machine does not glow.
>>106802555>https://sizeof.cat/post/windows-telemetry/wait, didn't he delete his website?
>>106802559>No DirectX 12 support.funny thing is, I once installed windows 10 on my gaming pc to play new games. then quickly found out that all the dx12 games I wanted to try are fucking garbage, except for just 1 of them which was alright.so of course I'm back on 7 now. never gonna install wangblows 10 again.
>>106802644I still needa downgrade my setup, win 11 has been awful compared to previous releases
>>106802559use case?
>>106802559the only worthy game was Elden Ring. Once I was done, I returned to Windows 7.
>>106802555simplewall blocks those connections
>>106802559that's the thingMS and nvidia convinced devs that they need that shit and cut off compatibility, when dx11 modes still exist were more performant
>>106802559It's amazing how much slop this feature filters.
At this point you might as well use linux. Either you're mentally stunted or emotionally tied based on some tragic event in your life.
>>106802559Is there a QEMU equivalent in windows that can passthrough a GPU?
>>106803430>At this point you might as well use linux.I rather shoot myself.
>>106803455Then sufferI bet you're on disability and your desktop specs are from that era too baby duck
>>106803430Huh?>turn on firewall>REEE THIS IS TOO COMPLICATED PLEASE LINUX SAVE MEEEEUh, no. Windows was always better, especially 7.
>>106802555Windows 7 doesn't support UEFI booting all that well.I tried.
>>106803703
>>106802555>cyberix networkPseud website, admins deleted my comment on the xlibre blogpost. Do like how he promotes xmpp however.
>>106803758You didn't really explain what's so hard about turning on a firewall on windows 7 and why this trivial effort justifies switching to a different OS like linux. Just wondering what your thought process is.
7chads, what browser should I use?
>>1068026447 has a Vulcan suppors so DXVK dll could make at least some games work.
very suspicious ongoing campaign to stomp out windows 7 usagenever happened with any other os for some reason
>>106803811supermium
i thought the spike in windows 7 use was due to india because of the memes, but i checked the india chart and the increase was barely noticable where the asia & worldwide maps show it to be much more pronounced. japan actually has a much larger spike in usage, which is very surprising.https://gs.statcounter.com/windows-version-market-share/desktop/
OP is a faggot
>>106804567Using the default windows 10 video player after using privatezilla on LTSC
>>106804620Using librewolf duckduckgo it makes 3 connections to haliburton company but thats as much as I could make it do trying to get any type of inbound connection.
>>106804176>DXVKdxvk basically doesn't work for anything and even when it "works" the performance is horrible.Just stick to playing old games. Nothing new interests me, anyway
>>106802555>hourly etc.
>>106803509And yet it still works.
>>106803811firefox
>>106803811Firefox got extended updoot for a few more months lol.
These threads are sponsored by the FSB. They want to get as many idiots as possible to use obsolete versions of Windows because they have a surefire exploit to zombify your toaster, which might be an existing one or new. Be wary of recent projects to get that garbage running on newer computers, they're likely up to the gills with malware.
>>106802555>Windows 7Ex-Microsoft data scientist here.OP and his article author are looking only at the 'number of connection attempts in the hour after install' and that sure is something.We call these people 'helpful retards' for a reason.Basically the data parameter is worthless - this moment immediately after user install is of almost zero value to Microsoft.Discontinuation of security updates for Windows 7 means that China, Russia, etc. can PROBABLY see and access everything you are doing while online - but an important addendum here is that we at Microsoft can absolutely 100% see and access everything.With Windows 11 (or whatever our 'maintained' version happens to be) we have to follow privacy laws.With Windows 7 we don't because we gave you sufficient legal warning - every backdoor and zero-day is ours to use without concern about legal consequence.With every Windows revision an elaborate internal dance/debate occurs over which 'privacy-threatening' feature to include next, because the clients who update Windows are worth more to our business divisions and the clients who stick with older versions for 'privacy reasons' are unironically worth a shitton more to our user data sales division.TLDR the update-averse privacy faggots are just low-hanging fruit - backdoor and zero-day hunting fodder - and their 'offline' data and online activity is among the easiest to access raw.We can often even view the files on older 'never-online' Windows 7 and earlier systems if an exploitable phone or internet-of-things gadget winds up in the proximity.It is what it is lol - enjoy Windows 7!
>>106806887They havent hacked my W7 computer in ten years, so they must be shitty hackers.
>>106807553>ex data scientist jeet or kike trying to tell us that W11 is goodOut to the trash/ gas chamber you go
>>106807577>They havent hacked my W7 computer in ten yearYou haven't hacked your own computer? That's an achievement. But anyway, you wouldn't be aware of it, if you weren't an Ivan fiercely trying to get some botnet fodder.Do the planet a favor, go die in the SVO.
>>106807577Are you expecting to get a letter in the mail?>You've been hacked brother!
>>106807639>you wouldnt be aware of itI'm a system admin for work. I know what the fuck Im doing.>>106807641No, Im waiting for you fags to prove that W7 gets hacked online when I literally been running fine for a decade.Meanwhile, I deal with oldfags who constantly get hacked on W11. Updating doesnt stop morons from getting their computers hacked into.
>>106802555nigger just into gpedit and at most disabling some services. you dont need regedit as gpedit does it all behind the scenes. i have 0 connections to microsoft with only two policies changed.
>>106802624ye used to be tor only. how come is back up?
>>106802555I used to have a wireless card that let me block all that. Many applications such as windows media player would start slow as it couldn't phone home. Windows is basically malware at this point, it causes wear and tear on your machine so it can spy on you and they turn around and feed that to AI
