Windows 11- Who owns your data?

[geordiecolin]

You think you own your data? Windows 11 seems to be changing that.

With Windows 11 you are forfeiting the rights to your data and essentially the hardware that Windows 11 runs on.
Its also forcing hardware manufacturers to create computer and electronics components that allow the operating system full power and control over that hardware overriding your total control over the hardware you own. Even as an administrative end user of your computer, you will need to ask Microsoft permission to do various things on your own device.

Oh why did I decide to humour you and listen to most of that first video.

15 minutes of my life wasted lol.

You ever thought of maybe taking up knitting or something to pass your time.

You say that, but who owns the knitting balls? How can YOU tell if your hank's been hacked?

I'm still waiting on someone assuming my identity and taking my debts on, as theirs.

Roll up fraudsters, there's a single digit credit score with your name-a-waiting.

On another, more serious note, tech companies have been trying to infiltrate our personal lives for the longest time. I'd watched some film or other as a kid, and next day in Maths class solved an equation on my calculator. The answer was there in glorious monochrome that had evaded me for minutes: 5318008

Imagine my horror then upon returning from a quick piss break, as I approach my desk and see the calculator knowingly mock me as I see emblazoned 'BOOBIES'

I knew then that tech could never be trusted, and I made a point of boycotting corrupted Casio and terrifying Texas Instruments. Got a D in GCSE Maths for my troubles, as I had to use pencil and post-it notes throughout my exam

Business opportunation for a software developer to write a brand new OS and hardware manufacturer to make hardware without this...they would make a killing

I thought this thread would be about Windows operating systems, with some cheeky Linux gossip thrown in. What the hell is this Great Reset you speak of?

I tried that once, but it didn't go down very well.

I was immediately attacked by a windows fan person who didn't understand a joke.

Operating systems seem to be also something some people get offended by these days.

#TW! Computer software

Jesus.

That sounds like something I'd expect to hear from a MacOS user. We beneath you are we sir?

You should go apple, they're purveyors of privacy

You no like-y the sandbox?

I jest - they should be arrested just for the abomination that is I Tunes

It'll be a cold day in hell before I touch any of Apple's products.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
My god...to think this country was almost equal to our countries not that long ago.
We knew Brexit would set them back, but nobody expected anything like this.

When they get this excited about windows 11, there is no way they would be able to comprehend the fact that
for as long i can remember i have been using windows 2000.

Lets just leave them some modern technology and a way for them to contact us in the future when their tech catches up.

Alright Ternur, lets get int...

'U GO NAU? TAKE STIIL BIRD?'

'Well, im not sure thats the best way to desc,..'

'STEEEEEL BERD'

'Yes, we take steel bird.. Come on Ternur, lets just get in the car and get out of here'

 

[ternur]

@Kroffe
Yes, these not-nordic countries are something else, aren't they? Maybe some day they will also get up to speed with the coolest software.

Btw. Next time, just send me a PM before you "upgrade" your system the Swedish way

Im still trying to help them best i can.
Was trying to teach them about Tea, because i know they like that stuff over there.

Some of them are not ready to learn just yet and become agressive when you approach them.

But there are some that want to learn, this guy learned how to say Tea in just one day.
Sort of.

 

[sufferinsilence]

Good news is I can't upgrade to Win 11 on this PC, something about the CPU not being compatible.

So I'm safe

It'll be a cold day in hell before I touch any of Apple's products.

Agreed - aside from the iPod (barring the stooopid software) every Apple product I've tried had been overpriced crap - trims marking easily, lack of ports for USB's, poor battery life (suddenly falls off after about 900 charges, impossible to replace without a kit and a microscope) and awkward laptops. Kind of like Nike trainers, you pay double what you do for say K-Swiss or Skechers etc. but those brands don't fall apart after a year or two.
Best phone on the market by a margin IMO is Samsung Galaxy s21 Ultra (about same price as Crapple iPhone 13) and it isn't thrown together in China.

Thanks. This was meant as a thread to educate me by those who understand and know what they are talking about when it comes to computers

 

[goatwack]

I have to agree with the above.

No, not Geordie, but about Apple products. Partner's i-phone's died within two years and had (RIP) terrible battery life.

Compare that with Samsung, it's like night and day. Their batteries probably hold, ooh, around ten times more charge, I couldn't believe it. I didn't think I'd take this life path but I can definitely confirm I'm a Samsung convert.

I don't even care if it pilfers my personal data at this point it's that good!

Now try a phone without bloatware like a Motorola. I had a Samsung before I converted to Motorola and it's night and day when comparing battery life.

Back in the days I used to have a 3210, I have never been cool enough to upgrade to the 3310

Why the explosives? I have destroyed computers to bits like that in 5 seconds, with my bare hands. 6 consecutive bonus guarantees on Rhino, 2 consecutive sub-10x Bonanza bonuses...etc...

They have been gunning to remove 'right to repair' last 2 years or so.
Not giving out schematics to independent repair shops, buying up all parts so only their Igenius repair shop has ny stock etc.

I get recommendations from some guy that has been traveling around the country talking to senators about the right to repair, why its important etc. He also uploads alot of videos like the one below, and they do a good job of highlighting the main benefit of right to repair.

You can take the piss all you want - I'll have you know in our house we like to settle down with a toastie, bottle of cheap fizzy pop and a play Pong with a modern COLOUR TV VERSION not the old monochrome one! Then afterwards over to DAVE channel for a couple of Bullseyes before bed. So you can shove your new-fangled portable CD players and Game Boys up your a*se.

Nobody holds a gun to your head to use any of the Windows products. Just uninstall it and run another operating system if you feel that Microsoft is the evil Company you think it is.

75% of people use windows. only 30% understand operating systems. The question was not about me

 

[goatwack]

Really didn't strike me as a debate to be had. Thread be like ' Windows 11 wants to steal your soul' bruh

 

[ternur]

' Windows 11 wants to steal your soul' bruh

But the real question is who is behind all this data gathering?

And is your soul really that special in the end?

But, competion is always good in the big picture, isn't it?

In any case, party while you can!

You can take the piss all you want -

So me saying that i did not want your urine the first two times you made me this offer somehow made you think 'third time's the charm'?
Huh...

This one talks alot, but meaningful communication is not possible.
Rewarding him with pieces of pigs in a blanket showed great promise at first, but i fear this might be as good as its going to get.
