It's over bro. If they managed to catch a hacker over a VPN and 3 proxies, I'm done, nigga. It feels so fucking nasty that every keystroke is logged, this fucking GDID is tied to my IP, my WinKey and my ms email. Even if you use a VPN windows will always see your real IP. This is so fucking disgusting. And when this whole AI bullshit evolves even more they can actively see the shit on your screen (like recall) and then have your local NPU summarize it and send it back to the MS servers and report it to palantir and your local authorities.
I hate technology. We all need a thinkpad with Linux and a PlayStation 2.

What do you want? I don't get your question, try asking polite next time.
It's over bro and all those LTSC copers will burn in hell. I remember /g/ laughing at me, because I installed win11 pro and debloated it, instead of LTSC. Heh who is laughing now? They just read your HWID and tie it to your new GDID and exactly know that it's you. I wonder how many idiots actually use qbittorrent or watch porn on their windows computers

I remember when intel put that unique ID instruction in the CPUs. Slashdot were losing their shit. Dire predictions of what would happen if all the closed source browsers of the day just started handing it to anyone who requested it with no option to disable it. In the end the fuss that was kicked up WORKED. Intel had to address the controversy, browsers had to not provide any mechanism to get at it and in the end it became a fancy asset tracking tag for corpos.
GDID is that but with stealth. It's already in place and Microsoft already have your machine IDs logged because it just phones home with your unique machine ID every time it has telemetry to send back to the mothership. And if you ever signed in to a microsoft account in edge, you bet it sent that ID with it even if you think your local account protects you. And even if you haven't, you think Microsoft aren't smart enough to say "we saw a GDID from 10.11.12.14, and then shortly afterwards a signin from the same IP, we'll just add that GDID to that account with a certainty of 90%."

Holy fuck we actually need schizos like you. I didn't think about that. This is fucking scary and I never heard about the Intel shit. Your browser example sounds horrifying. A VPN is pointless, if Microsoft will just hand out "your I'D" to anyone who requests it. Or imagine Apps will require that for "anti bot" or "security". Am App like discord could request that ID and check if you were ever banned. This is literally 1945 and everyone is brand marked

Even fucking MAC would have been a better choice, at least Apple have some history of resisting feds to a reasonable degree (at least in public). Microslop just open their cheeks whenever the feds even look in their direction.
Its like wearing a mask with your real name and pictures of your face printed all over it. Genuine madness, windows has this for a long time hasn't it?
If you use Windows after MS tried to push Recall you deseve to be farmed like cattle. It doesn't matter that it wouldn't work on x86, the idea that a company if comfortable with pushing that idea at all is so beyond dystopian anyone with a shred of integrity should have left by now.

Or till they realize that glowies control root CAs, so https isn't protected against MitM attacks at all!
Or till they realize that session cookies can be grabbed and that you shouldn't check the "keep me logged in" box!

No it doesn't.
Getting your session cookie stolen bypasses all authentication methods. You could use a Yubikey to log into Google, and still get your account stolen by an infostealer grabbing the cookie.
And it's actually most common cause of accounts being stolen. LTT got their youtube account stolen in that way.
(((They))) just don't tell you, because they do not want you to log out. Of course Google wants you to have the cookie at all times. Google isn't going to tell you to delete it, lol, nor are they going to make it easy. Many platforms don't even give you the choice anymore, they are logged-in always per default.
Back then, during the time of Internet Cafes, everybody knew this.

Oh they upload all your documents to onedrive? Nothing to see. Recall screenshots your desktop every few minutes? Yea that’s just to help you, well, recall things! Pushing mandatory online activation? Yep makes sense.
But a fucking device id? No way fag THIS is hard proof!

If you give the VM access to the internet and sign in to any microsoft services (even not on the VM) you are just going down the same path. You have to keep the VM locked down otherwise it'll just functionally be identical to a native install of windows. I'm guessing the windows programs you have to use are cloud enabled shit so you can't just disable the VM's network?

Obviously there's layers and layers of trackers and multiple sources of information. The big deal is that this is a globally unique identifier that follows you that microsoft has already given up to the feds, so it's not theoretical. We were fine with the idea that SOME of what we do is tracked, and the feds knowing that you played MCC on Thursday and Minecraft on Friday is not a scary prospect. But connecting to a VPN to access secure shit and then later finding out Microsoft goes "oh shit, a VPN, better log it against your unique identifier" that's a serious fucking problem. "Just don't sign in on the VPN bro" is no protection anymore.

Braces in adult age, for an extended period of time, fuck over your gum, you get periodontal disease, eventually the jaw bone regresses and you lose teeth. That's why it's usually done with teens, where the gum can take a beating and still recover.
You think you will be getting straight teeth and in the end end up losing them.

>They have to if you use their services and the feds ask for it
this is an inherent flaw of the "product-as-a-service" business model: if everything was on a user's local device and the company providing software had no access, or at least anonymized access (for updates), then they couldn't be forced at gunpoint by glowies to give backdoor access without having the legal defense of saying "a backdoor for one is a backdoor for all" which actually did hold up for apple back when they had their customer's best interest in mind.
your only other option would be to have a service based in a non 14-eyes country, non-russia, and non-china which is very hard
