Windows 11 has a global identifier database, everyone who has ever used Windows 11 has been flagged as Windows 11 user into a database which can contain potentially 8 billion people (the identifier length is long enough to potentially allow 8 billion different identifiers)>FBI arrested an American criminal from Finland when he used his Windows 11 identifier and was thus found outhttps://www.tomshardware.com/software/windows-11-identifier-used-to-track-scattered-spider-perp-after-microsoft-shared-info-with-fbi-19-year-old-us-estonian-hacker-arrested-over-alleged-ties-to-infamous-extortion-group19-year-old Peter Stokes is a dual U.S.-Estonian citizen who was trying to board a flight to Japan from Helsinki, when law enforcement caught up with him. FBI had made a warrant of him and Finlands central crime police agency captured him by request.[T]he main criminal complaint against Stokes stems from a May 2025 attack on a luxury jewelry dealer based in the United States. The attackers apparently called the company's IT helpdesk using Google Voice, posing as employees. Microsoft played a key role in the process by providing GDID [Global Device Identifier] data to the FBI to help them apprehend the alleged criminal... [I]t's a unique identifier assigned to every Windows install that tracks device-specific telemetry. >Stokes' web activity, videogame history, IP addresses, tool usage (including Ngrok), Azure status, and more were logged with timestamps, and were provided to the investigators by Microsoft...Stokes was carrying two hard drives full of incriminating evidence with him when boarding his flight to Japan... His real identity has actually been known since 2024, but since he was a minor living across Estonia and the UAE at the time, he could only be monitored until the time was right.

>>538451636I use 3 computers.This one runs Linux Mint.The other two run Windows 7.Microsoft can suck my dick.

It amazes me how some these retards send me hundreds of spam / fraud requests monthly. Hiding behind Google gmail email accounts, that allegedly hide your real IP address.>Google does it because Google is the largest spammer (marketing company) in the worldBut how retarded you have to be to believe this crap that Google aren't glowniggers??? >they even self open it, calling themselves the Alphabet (Agency).You are sending in thousands of spam emails using gmail and google voice.......While being logged in into a fcking largest glownigger data collection servers.How cute. :)))
>>538452648I'm seriously considering going to Linux. Been looking around and it seems like Distros with SystemD could become compromised. That's like all the easy, beginner friendly ones. I'm thinking of trying something like Artix, Gentoo or most likely Void as my first try. How badly will I regret this decision when I immediately don't know what to do? Windows 10 user btwI also can't decide which DE/WM to go for at all.
Bumping a funny thread .
Bumping a funny thread 2nd time.
>>538453159Nigga, you bump when it's close to being slid out.
>>538453099The simpler Linux distros are basically braindead. I started using Mint a couple years before ChatGPT, and even the one time it completely shat itself it was pretty easy to fix. You now have AI to ask for tech questions which makes it about nine times easier.A lot of programs are Windows only. Linux can run many of them anyway, with WINE or Proton, but some stuff is just going to be a pain. Hence, I still have a couple PCs running 7. One of them ran 10 back in 2016 but I didn't like it and put 7 back in.Privacy? idk, I've never heard of SystemD. But probably even the worst Linux distro will be 39 miles ahead of Windows for privacy so who gives a fuck.
still too lazy to change to linux
>>538453344I wonder how long this can go in before people realize
>>538451636Welcome to 1984.
The sad truth is 98% of humans are low IQ human cattle, yes just like the demonic jews say. They won't lift a finger to help themselves and happily walk into the slaughter house when told. Like this faggot>>538453344
>>538453344You'd be happier with it manFrom what I see, lightweight and secure Distros like Void or Arch (and its forks like Artix) are about 40 times lighter than Windows 10/11, and you can run almost all the shit you want with flatpaksYou can even be the goodest of goys and use ChromeOS and SNAPs
