M$ is like a boyfriend - you tell him “No, don’t touch me there!”

and an hour later his hands are wandering the same direction again…

That’s M$ intention, to hide some settings from users and lose control of Windows.

As I stated in other reply

This is just some of BS public stunts, they are trying to hide and create misinformation to deceive people. The mastermind of the online gambling issue here, is one of their cronies. A businessman, this guy being protected by top military brass and former general including a new elected president.

My guess? This is just PR from their politicians to say “they are saving the country” or whatever bullshit without actually doing anything useful

Adobe is an evil company that will do whatever it takes to F its users,” one employee wrote, echoing sentiments

Microsoft : first time?

Yes, and you can join R10C telegram group

You’ll find many tutorials and custom roms

I’m not sure this can be done more easily without root access as many Android services and Gapps are intertwined.

You can try this solution via ADB, this is just an example

pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.app

As for SMS app, I use QKSMS

I just saw this, it’s available on f-droid and play store

Deku SMS is an Android SMS app.

Deku SMS is being developed as a proof-of-concept for secure SMS messaging, SMS image transmission and SMS-Cloud communications.

The timing is probably just coincidence. He probably submitted a bug bounty weeks or months earlier and it just now got included in release notes

The fraudulent orders happened a few years ago, which was alleged recently

The indictment states that the pair attempted to fraudulently obtain over $3 million from Apple through more than two dozen fraudulent orders. For orders that did complete, they obtained around $2.5 million in electronic gift cards and more than $100,000 in “products and services.” The scheme started in December 2018 and continued until at least March 2019.

You are not really wrong, TPM was designed by Trusted Computing Group consisting of big tech companies like M$, IBM, AMD, Intel, Cisco and HP.

fTPM has a bug, don’t know if it’s fixed

Veracrypt also doesn’t recommend using encryption that relies on TPMs

Some encryption programs use TPM to prevent attacks. Will VeraCrypt use it too? No. Those programs use TPM to protect against attacks that require the attacker to have administrator privileges, or physical access to the computer, and the attacker needs you to use the computer after such an access. However, if any of these conditions is met, it is actually impossible to secure the computer (see below) and, therefore, you must stop using it (instead of relying on TPM).

If the attacker has administrator privileges, he can, for example, reset the TPM, capture the content of RAM (containing master keys) or content of files stored on mounted VeraCrypt volumes (decrypted on the fly), which can then be sent to the attacker over the Internet or saved to an unencrypted local drive (from which the attacker might be able to read it later, when he gains physical access to the computer).

Let’s assume the attackers were law enforcers

I do agree with you, the obstacle is that there are many applications that are not available on Linux or they’re not as powerful as on Windows. As for me is MS. Excel, many of my office clients use VBA in Excel spreadsheet to do calculations.

And remember that your data and telemetry are sent to Microsoft servers to train Copilot AI. You may also need to subscribe to some advanced AI features

Yes, AI PC like in the movie HER

I’m not trying to blame him, but more than 200 TB of data on cloud storage? Holy cow, I wouldn’t even trust it to store more than 5 GB of data.

I can post any technology related outside of tech biz but mostly it’s not a popular thing here, many of articles are too technical, hardly any discussion, even worse there are articles that you won’t like it. For example, I can post the good thing about EVs today and another day I can post the downside of EVs battery to environment, and I get the heat.

Posting in niche community? Not enough MAU, I’v tried in c/collapse, c/cybersecurity etc, no discussion.

c/technology is just a mirror of r/technology

Even worse, Windows 12 is an AI OS. Think just like in the movie HER.

Are they going to ask or just do whatever they want with my computer?

There is nothing wrong with your computer. Do not attempt to adjust Windows. We are controlling Windows. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the firewall. We will control Windows Update. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur, or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: There is nothing wrong with your computer. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to the outer limits.

Yikes!!

There are rumors circulating, why Israeli intelligence failed to sniff out about Hamas’s attack plan, because Hamas used Huawei phones (without gapps)
