Is it really spying at us?
Does it record everything to Microsoft?
>>
>>106935761
yes, it knows you need to get fucked up the ass too.
>>
>>106935761
Just install wireshark and see for yourself.
>>
>>106935761
If you care it's better to just go to Linux.
>>
>>106935761
It logs diagnostic data like what type of files you open, what executables you run, constantly pings Microsoft etc. In the grand scheme of things it's a nothingburger unless you enable Copilot. But if you're curious just monitor the traffic yourself.

>>
>>106935761
Yes

>>106935761
I am literally a no one, so I don't care. There is no motivation to go after me as an individual - I'm not a politic, public figure, whatever.
>>
>>106936031
buckbroken mindset, very troubling.
>>
>>106936040
It is what it is.

>>106936031
Doesn't matter. They're after anybody's openion that doesn't fit the cultural marxist false narrative. Germans and bongs would have something to say about it.
>>
It phones home often enough that even if it's nothing malicious it comes with the very clear design to be used to violate privacy and spy on people.
>>
>>106936006
So what happens if you install it then disconnect it from the internet
Does it start wiping out your drive out of programmed butthurt
>>
>>106936087
it tries to call home but no one picks up
but who is going to run a pc without internet nowadays?
>>
>>106936080
Not to mention the ever-tightening noose of what's "acceptable" and what is not. They just sent a guy in Canada to jail for 9 months for denying muh six gorillion. UK and Germany have had naughty word laws on their books for ages already, chucking someone in jail for their words is literally creating political prisoners.

Even if you're not political, all the fags in the government and these (((tech))) companies are.
>>
>>106936087
I'd wager they have it designed in such a way that it will cease to function properly without regular connectivity and "updates" from its masters.

>oh it's been a month since you connected
>gonna have to slow things down a bit here
>no no you can't use all that RAM, not until you connect to WiFi and let me tell Uncle Bill about your fapping habits and what memes you shared
>>
>>106936094
i have several machines that have never once connected to the internet. i guess if all you do with a computer is play games, that wouldnt make sense to you.
>>
>>106936115
How are people supposed to chat, shop, jerk off, watch movies, consoom newslop, and post to social media if they don't have the internet?

Offline machines are literally a niche thing in 2025, computers basically exist as internet gateways.
>>
>>106936115
Do you realize you're among the minority, right? For the average person, a computer without internet is useless.
>>
My dads machine shop was bought by new owners and they "upgraded" their CNC from an old dell running windows XP to a thinkpad running windows 11 and because it's not connected to the internet it keeps fucking up
>>
we had these exact same threads for windows 10, ten years ago
>>
Yep, Fuck windows defender

>Is win 11 really spying at us? Does it record everything to Microsoft?
Yes. Windows 10/11 send a ton of data to M$. Install Wireshark and see for yourself. Microshit also ported Windows 10's spyware features to earlier versions of Windows, like Windows 7, via the ESU updates.

Microsoft also counts the number of your clicks as well. Open regedit.exe and check the keys in
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FeatureUsage
. There are tons of interesting stuff in there.

Yes cause of cloud/server integration. Window used to be offline. Connected to Microsoft cloud/server only when about

window update and security. Often periodic,manual and optional. Last window to do that is window 7. Now from window 8 onward. Cloud integrations is more continuous. You get security and update 27/4. Background noise connected to cloud for ads and stuff. many cloud based stuff like copilot used

Microsoft cloud. Microsoft account automatically cloud based. As login is mandatory now. Many service that used to be offline has to be online connected to cloud. Linux work the same like windows too. It collected data too but cause data is distributed and decentralization over the globe via independent network of server and cloud

nodes and spread thin. It more secure. And nobody can recollected your data data again as Your data become fragmented. That pros of Linux

anyone screeching like a vegan about privacy on 4Chitwood is a hypocritical nigger
if you actually gave a shit about your privacy then you wouldn't be here voluntarily begging the NSA to analyze and track every post you make on the biggest fake anonymity honeypot on earth
if you preach about privacy on 4Chitwood you've already proven you don't give a single fuck about privacy
i bet you preach about privacy while posting all day on facebook too you virtue signaling nigger
if you care about privacy then prove it and fuck off and don't come back
or just keep proving in this thread with every post you make that you don't give a single fuck about privacy and are just a virtue signaling nigger

Yes, Anon.

Windows knows you're looking at tentacle hentai 14 times a week.

I hope the cia/nsa/whatever 3 letter nigger agency of the USA goes through all my history and wastes tax dollars looking at the lebsian piss videos I've fapped to

Take your meds

t. German who uses Win10

Apple products literally brick themselves after extended periods without being able to call home. This was found by people who relied on them out at sea (airplane mode does not actually cut them off).

Just install wireshark and run it for a while. You will see tons of encrypted packets being sent to Microsoft.

can you use recall on non-copilot+ machines?
