Do you care about your privacy and security? Opinion: I don't think most people do. If they are getting a product or service for free, they don't mind giving away personal information to tech companies that they would NEVER give to strangers in their personal life. CRAZY!!! Thanks for watching 🙂
I did not upgrade to 11. I chose to use a secure application for the Utopia ecosystem.
can you do another amazing websites video
You want privacy? Use Linux. Reclaim control over your hardware too.
Excellent advice.
Format C: load DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.1
Some things were "off" already, most weren't. THANK YOU!
Can you do a video on how to get a local account?? how do i go about doing that?
I really appreciate your vids and watch them every time you release one. I also care about security. On a different topic, as far as Windows 11 is concerned, I'm holding off until there is some compelling reasons to upgrade. I'm an operating system junkie, love and hate all operating systems pretty much equally, but love playing with them. Usually I upgrade quickly to new MS operating systems. But usually there's a compelling reason to do so. It seems that Windows 11 is bent on pulling out features and calling this … new. Want to move the taskbar? Nope. Want to use full screen start (one of my favorite features in Windows 10 and Windows 8), nope. I'm not usually a hold out on operating system versions, but until there's some compelling reasons to upgrade to Windows 11 – I'm sticking with 10.
This goes back to Windows 98. With each new release Micro$oft got bolder.
Love your videos. Do u have a video on how to delete one's online footprint. Thx.
The fact that I even need to do this is sickening. Thank you!
I used 10 for me and fun you'll be nice reading
I refuse to change to Windows 11. When purchasing my lap tops I use a different name and address to keep security up-to-date.
Thanks for the video. I haven't done anything about protecting my privacy on my computer yet. I'm still on Windows 10 so I'll look and see if you have a video for that version. I've used a lot of your videos to learn Windows 10. I only got that version when I got a new computer. I don't care for change so I'm usually one of the last one to get an upgrade. Thanks again for sharing your computer knowledge.
Thanks for the info. Very helpful. Do you have any recommendation Clear browsing data on close?
At work we have no choice but to use Windows. But people's personal computers and laptops should be running Linux. It's become easier to use now. It's more customizable for security, and you're not being tracked for advertisement by the developers.
1:54 It's certainly possible. Using tools like O&O Shutup or editing entries in the Registry, GPs and Microsoft's own tasks inside the Task Scheduler. It's certainly not a "click one button and you're" done but it's possible. Or add something like a PiHole to your network and get a blacklist which contains the MS telemetry addresses.
Privacy and Security are my first priority. Thank for information.
Thanks for the tutorial. I trust Microsoft but not third-parties.
Microsoft is a spying tool for the fatherland.
REMEMBER – Windows 11 is still in BETA mode, its not official openend, this is only until arrond 3e part of 2022.
especially, before one can use Windows 11 for FREE, conditions are set on the hardware that YOU have to purchase for this.
This is completely different with Linux and a totally different consept, no matter how old or new your computer is, there is always a kind of Linux that can be installed, to be able to run Windows APPS from there via a Windows Simulator APP.
If you want to get rid of this whining, install openBSD and SIMULATE EVERYTHING that can be there.
This is UNIX where one installs a graphical shell separately called X-Windows.
Now comes the nice thing, OpenBSD can function both as a Server and as a Workstation at the same time (better is always separate, but not necessary) but you preferably need 64GB of memory to function properly.
An Intel Network Card is further required, for the rest it does not matter at all whether it is Intel, AMD or ARM, and you only have to change your hardware if you feel that it is too outdated.
