One hell of a scary article from an unreliable source, isn't it?
BFG

Not much sense in arguing with you. You actually believe this.

There's no point in trying to 'argue' about something YOU don't
know anything about, no.

Why do you post links that show you how to turn data collection
off, then complain about data collection? If you're not willing
to take the simple steps required, shame on you.

That isn't why I posted the article, and, I doubt you're that
stupid, either. If you are, it's on me for assuming your more
intelligent then I've given you credit for. The issue I have is
that the OS shouldn't require me to turn those 'features' off in
the first place. They SHOULDN'T be there. I don't run Windows 10,
I won't run Windows 10 native on any machine I own, either. I
don't believe in giving up my privacy for new eye candy and
possible locked hardware down the road. It's another reason I'm
converting ALL of these machines to Linux. I've tolerated
Microsofts bull**** for years, but, I don't have to tolerate
Win**** 10 OR it's spyware habits on my own personal machines. My
files stored locally are MY FILES, nobody elses.

I've seen a hundred similar articles. Old news. I don't exactly
love turning all that **** off either, but see it as necessary
maintenance. I don't care what OS you use. But I learn what I
need to know about the OS I'm using.


necessary maintenance? You've got be ****ing kidding me. It is old
news from the viewpoint that the pre-release copies of Windows 10
also did it, but, that's really beside the point. Your OS shouldn't
need to send audio recordings of you anyplace, without you telling it
to do so.

Please cite for us the evidence that Win 10 sends audio recordings
of us unless we choose to use Cortana. Nuff said.



In fact, it shouldn't be retaining copies of that stuff,
long term unless you opted to save the audio recordings yourself. Nor
should it be keeping copies of whatever you type on the keyboard
either. Who the hell wants a built in keylogger?

Does Windows 10 really include a keylogger? (Spoiler: No)
Conspiracy theories sometimes take on a life of their own, independent of the facts. Here's how this one got started.
