Still blows my mind how many people remain on windows despite everything

>if you don't care 100% about something and dedicate all your actions to it, you don't care about it all
What kind of bizarre black and white thinking is this?

>>26516
Because the alternatives are just worse.
>iOS
Everything costs money and is designed for women or old people
>linux
Even tech nerds that love digital erector sets outline how they regularly have to spend hours fixing simple shit that shouldn't be a problem like bluetooth, printers, wifi, or using an incredibly common piece of software.

>>26416
Ok this is it.
Of course most shit was obvious and I haven't used windows for years.
But I always had a bad feeling and thought i might have to give in when it comes to cagie, but fuck no. I will not take a job that forces me to use windows. Fuck them. Not doing it.
Yes, this will reduce the available jobs from non-existant to non-existant, but i dont give a shit at this point.

He got busted because he posted his crimes on social fucking media retard, not because he used le doubleplusungood operating system.

Just use multiple computers. Keep the nVidia for your Windows box, then use Linux on a different PC where discretion is required.

this is wrong you dunning-kruger retard
machine-id predates systemd by a decade, and it's literally just a txt file you can delete

>>26416
You use a stock Android phone all your life with a phone number with your name attached to it while the device has an IMEI. This information is passed to your carrier and Google and thus the government and is profiling you 24/7. You don't actually care, you just pretend to be outraged while you continue to be spied on like the future prisoner or mass grave occupant you are.

>>26486
>Windows with a local account isn't a problem
Yet you used HWID activation and the machine contacts Microsoft servers with encrypted traffic. What do you think that means?

All of these guys look identical, wtf.

Are there any boomers who don't live with their parents house? Americans are weird.

How does that make any sense? Phone posting on cellular? Static IP while someone reports the post for violating US law? Feds running the site and screening posts with AI? What happened here?

>>26529
You can't dismiss this hypocrisy. If you actually cared you wouldn't carry an Android or IOS device with you.

>>26482
Is this way Windows and Linux fags cry so much about Win7 and why there is so much fake fearmongering about muh security.

>>26434
he was also loging into facebook using very that machine

>>26485
and this is why Linux will never take off even when windows is literally face fucking its users.

MICROSLOP TODDLERS BTFO

Can someone explain why as a kid, a I could extract multiple-part zip files by simply clicking extract on the first one and it would do them all, but now I have to extract each zip file manually and then manually merger the folders together?? The only thing I can think of, is that Microsoft want to make piracy harder because some people pirate stuff via zip files, but why the fuck does 7zip not let me do it?

>mfw freetards on /g/ have stooped so low they are regurgitating Linus Sebastian regurgitating "GDID" headlines and going onto an emotional shitflinging fest without thinking for themselves for one second
Picrel is 19 y/o Peter Stokes, the guy who initiated this whole shitfest of journoshittery. This absolute retard was committing extortion cybercrimes while openly bragging about them online. He was essentially giving himself to the feds. Only after they clapped down on his shit did they get their hands on their hardware.

As it turns out, this titan of intellect, the fighter for software freedoms that not a single freetard regurgitating these headlines (you can forget about them reading the fucking articles lol), had absolutely ZERO opsec. Doing cybercrimes from Windows is one thing.

He:
-used his Microsoft account
-didn't bother with any memescripts
-zero hardening whatsoever
-he did his personal browsing on the same machine he used to extort businesses
-using Microsoft Edge with all of it's default telemetry
After the feds hit up MS, the only role GDID has was to cross-reference the anonymized telemetry data with Stokes. Here's the kicker: if he did as little as installed Firefox instead of using Edge, the GDID cross-referencing wouldn't help the feds out, and even then they already had him cooked cuz dude was this retarded.

Of course all the freetards will just call me a paid pajeet Microsoft shill or whatever their canned response to being proven wrong is nowadays, but remember that whenever they bring up GDID, they are exposing themselves as ignorant Dunning-Kruger retards that blindly believe in journoscum headlines if it benefits their worldview. Lowest form of cattle imaginable.

Nothing to hide, nothing to fear.

>>26543
That's the kicker, best practice privacy policy is don't take 1 word for law. You have to actually DYOR and seek. It has a lot of friction which is why plebs get sold VPN half measures that do nothing.

>>26416
The feds rarely disclose how they actually catch people on the net. They usually use some BS excuse to cover and use other evidence they find after they seize hardware to convict. There was probably more to the story on how they caught the guy too.

Just like those secret National Security Letter's the FBI sends to service providers demanding info, they were probably trying their best to keep the use of GD-IN on the DL as long as possible. I bet they even used one of those NSL's to get Microsoft to hand over the GD-IN to circumnavigate the warrant process.

>>26545
Classic Feds making it sound like they caught a big fish.

>>26545
Why would scripts or hardening matter when you're using an OS that is fundamentally a botnet?

>>26418
Some micoper will give you a dozen powershell commands and registry edits that he thinks will disable it (for real this time!)

3. 7Zip can, your files aren't named properly

Just get a cozy suburbs distro instead of an autistic cabin-in-the-middle-of-the-fucking-woods distro. Those nerds are spending hours fixing things because they want to

>>26416
>>26418
Is this somehow surprising? The entire OS is literal spyware. Windowsbabbies cope by saying they can turn it off, but there's too much of it to actually turn off.

>>26482
this enrages and confuses the freetard NPC

>>26431
Wait until you discover remote attestation

Why the fuck does the colonel of Linux care about what Windows does. If anything he should be happy this might make some people switch to his operating system.

People have been complaining about Windows being glownigger mass surveillance technology for 25 years. In all of that time, all of the big brained 1337 nerds have failed to produce a viable alternative. The best the global community of anti-Microsoft bitchtit programmers have been able to produce is Ubuntu which doesn't work with anything people actually want to use or do, and Linux in general despite having thousands of forks is only used by a few dozen mentally ill trannies who work for the big tech conpanies they hate so much anyway. Don't even try to argue with me because you know I am right.

>>26561
>>26560
sorry bro, but this ominous linux machine-id, you want to scare us about to defend literal spyware on your Windows machine, is never getting sent to anything over any network.
And it's specifically stated that you shall not do that in its documentation, together with a way to generate a new one or delete it.
