Windows 10 IS Unsafe!

[kyonides]

On another board somebody uploaded this piece of a news article concerning Windows 7 that's been phased out since January 14th 2020.

Honestly, I can only tell you that sounds more like manipulation on behalf of MS...

The following is an excerpt taken from this website: Linux Experten.com

I know, they clearly want you to start using Linux, but I wouldn't mind if any of you did. Still, you might consider some of the strange things that do happen on Windows 10...

Why should you stop using Windows10?

• Data syncing is by default enabled.
  

       - Browsing history and open websites.
       - Apps settings.
       - WiFi hotspot names and passwords.

• Your device is by default tagged with a unique advertising ID.
  

       - Used to serve you with personalized advertisements by third-party advertisers and ad networks.

• Cortana can collect any of your data.
  

       - Your keystrokes, searches and mic input.
       - Calendar data.
       - Music you listen to.
       - Credit Card information.
       - Purchases.

• Microsoft can collect any personal data.
  

       - Your identity.
       - Passwords.
       - Demographics.
       - Interests and habits.
       - Usage data.
       - Contacts and relationships.
       - Location data.
       - Content like emails, instant messages, caller list, audio and video recordings.

• Your data can be shared.
  

       - When downloading Windows 10, you are authorizing Microsoft to share any of above-mentioned data with any third-party, with or without your consent.

Obviously it's up to you to choose your next OS, just remember that MS might not be playing fair...
