Windows 11 Sends Tremendous Amount of User Data to Third Parties, YouTuber Claims

• I am not sure anyone is gullible enough to assume that W11, which will validate activation on almost any prior OS key and “free” to upgrade from W10 really thought that free was really free. This is completely unsurprising. Anyone using a PC or a modern mobile phone has to be aware that everything they do is being stored and sent all over.

  People used to complain about anything that might infringe on their privacy, right up to the point that they made the spy devices something that all had to have…even from your robot vacuum.

• Obviously, a lot has changed in 20 years and we now use more online services than back in the early 2000s. As a result, various telemetry data has to be sent online to keep certain features running.

  What is this whitewashing?! Gold almighty. If Toms’ Hardware is that afraid to speak their mind US is a dictatorship.
  “Free Speech” my somewhere dying Western Empire (of lies).

• Is there a service/program/blocker/firewall that will sit there and record the outgoing sites for a while and then let me decide which ones to allow/block? I’d like just a nice list in a GUI with checkboxes to allow/deny anything going to each site. If so, how would I even tell which sites I want to allow other than by name? Maybe there’s a “stop your data being stolen and sold all around the web” program? Windows firewall isn’t the easiest thing to use. There has got to be better…

  Heh.

  In all seriousness, there’s a big reason to support SteamOS: it’s not Microsoft (yet).
