they don’t even need to put shit directly on our devices to get what they want really, they have a wiretap into all the advertising companies and all the internet providers and all the cellphone and land line providers. They have a wiretap into every remotely accessible camera system. They don’t need to come up with more invasive ways to get into all our shit but they keep doing it.
With mullvad, proton or iVPN, just enable lockdown mode or what proton calls the “permanent” kill switch.
That should block all unprotected traffic with no issue
Edit, I used policy plus to delay my quality updates by 30 days and my feature updates by 365 days and a couple of days ago I paused my windows updates because I saw britec09 talking about how some of the more recent updates to windows 11 will cause bluescreens sometimes. So I’m not affected.
why are they always trying to compete with apple in the worst ways possible?
If people want to use apple devices, they’ll just use apple devices.
Seriously if anyone from microsoft is reading this, ask yourself, why did so many people LOVE windows 7 and hate windows 8, 8.1, 10 and 11?

And now to salt the wound, you fuckers are blocking people from using third party apps to make their systems work the way they want them to.
That’s how you’re choosing to compete with apple? to make your OS as shitty as possible? To take as much control away from the customer as possible? Are you sure that’s the hill you want to die on? …Okay. Your funeral.
I don’t understand why microsoft “felt pressure” at all.
People loved windows 7 and hated windows 8. But they kept doing more of what the customers hated over and over, and now they’re blocking people from using the work-arounds that make their systems usable for them.

Microsoft is one of the companies that wants us to all be forced to use digital IDs. Google, Apple, Microsoft and Amazon are all constantly getting hacked and they think they’re trustworthy to have all our identity information when stories like this come out every day.
I once knew a guy that was really stupid. He got angry very quickly and had no patience for anything.
He had a lock on the button for his garage door opener that was a slider switch, he caved it in because he pressed it really hard instead of just looking and seeing that it’s a slider switch
