Windows 10 is it the worst ever version ?

If you're really convinced that Win10 is trying to send all your data back to MS, then why are you using it? Nobody's forcing you to use Win10. There are various other OSes, both Microsoft and non-Microsoft.

I don't get why you would come on here stoking up paranoia and then merrily continue using the product yourself. If I thought Win10 was sending the contents of my hard drive to Redmond then I definitely wouldn't be running the software.

Well, I was trying to provoke some kind of proper explanation out of you and see if I could understand exactly why your thoughts about 10 were so far out of step with mine. After all, maybe I'm wrong and Windows 10 is something to be feared.

But fair enough, clearly a waste of time and bandwidth. Bye! :cool:
 
Once in a while I've had half decent conversations with him on here. I had hoped this could be one of those times if I could just get him to actually engage and explain rather than post **** like 'nurr I know hardware firewalls better than you even though I have no idea what you do for a living or what your experience level is nurr' or link to yet another clickbait article that's chock-full of misconceptions or flat-out lies about how privacy is DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!!!111oneoneeleven on Windows 10. No law against optimism after all! Sadly, that optimism seems to have been in vain.

Well the US can enjoy seeing me enjoy the likes of Tori Black then :~) I don't understand why people get so defensive about their data, I mean what do you have that is so important? All I care about is them not getting my bank details and that is all really.

It's not really about one man's data though. It's what happens when you have everybody's data and feed it into dark projects like the Minerva Initiative. It's already imperative to the continuation of psychological warfare amongst other things, and it's only going to get much worse as the scope is ever increasing. I mean 98% of people have absolutely no idea what's going on and the people who do have no idea why.

Really, the Minerva Initiative? I mean, that one has been rumbling around since it was first formed in '08 and has yet to do anything more sinister than use up a few million dollars of DoD budget.

You think a few million dollars of DoD budget goes into something that doesn't do anything?

lmao. Psy ops aren't hard to cover up it seems haha.


I'm assuming you feel the same way about the billion dollars they've spent on the Utah data mining facility and their research of quantum computing to crack encryption technologies?

"Oh no it's not really to crack encryption." I assume is what you're going to say?

Well, it doesn't exactly look hugely sinister from here. ;)

re: cracking of encryption.

Actually, I am slightly concerned about the cracking of encryption. Not remotely concerned about them spaffing momey on quantum computing to do it though - either it'll work and finally get quantum computing to a position where it can be mass-produced, or it won't work and will finally stop people and governments pouring money into a black hole. Either way, a win.

I do love how these Initiatives are meant to be so secret that Governments will deny their existence and nobody outside of them knows what they are, yet asim18 somehow seems to know everything about them...

Everything? seriously? At least be specific so I have a chance to explain.

Governmental interest in eradicating/intercepting SSL encryption was brought to public knowledge as part of Snowden's revelations. If people actually read (and understood) some of his stuff, they'd know how and where they used to strip SSL encryption between Google to User datagrams (this was when they actually had physical agents inside Google).

You have to be pretty fast asleep to not understand that this is the reason why they are calling for bans to entire encryption technologies these days....

1) Snowden reveals how inside agents are used to strip SSL encryption and provide a clean feed to their data centres.

2) Upon revelation they couldn't continue using this method.

3) Now they want to ban encryption altogether and are funding ways to crack encryption as a whole.

I mean surely it's pointless having a data tap at every major IXP in the western hemisphere when all the data going through it is encrypted? There was once a point, back when they could get a plain feed through infiltration of organisations and stripping SSL internally. Now that all that has been revealed and is public information the aim is not the organisations any more, but the very technology of SSL and the idea of encryption itself.

Now I'm going to get another person pop their head out of the sand and tell me the government isn't interested in stopping SSL/encryption. lol.

Nope. But I will ask why we're talking about this in a Windows 10 thread, given that it's hardly a Windows 10-specific problem? I mean, if you're worried about governments getting around/breaking/doing away with encryption then you're pretty much stuffed no matter what your choice of OS is and might as well go off the grid and become a spoon-whittler like in that Plusnet advert that's on TV at the moment....
