• Are Windows 10 and 11 both compromised?

    Are Windows 10 and 11 both compromised?

    That when we boot into Windows 10/11,
    we are actually using a remote session
    in a Windows Server somewhere on Earth?

    How can you tell? ;)

    Your Internet connection is too slow to fool anyone.
    The computer would feel "dog slow" if implemented that way.

    My Internet connection is only 15/1 , as an example.
    It takes too long to ship significant amounts of
    data that way (at only 2MB/sec).

    Disable your Internet connection and then see if you can use Word or the Games or whatever.
    What if you enable the internet connection
    again? Would the remote session be resumed
    and data sync-ed auto-magically the moment
    you do it?

    I know this is too paranoid... But is the
    technology doing it feasible now? ;)

    Internet traffic jam can happen from time
    to time and maybe suddenly, even in real
    life. It's not a reliable indicator.

    Depends (I think that is what he wears). What do you consider to be compromised?

    To answer your last question first. Yes the technology is very much
    capable of doing it now. Just ask any HP printer owner.....
    Does every OS or app or program use that technology? no. Does windows?
    Yes.Does Google/tiktok/facebook/microsoft and many many others use it?
    Yes.

    As for your original question we are about half way to that point
    right now. Some setups do not connect to the Microsoft servers at all,
    but that is getting harder and harder to accomplish.... switching to
    Linux helps. Are you running your windows session on a microsoft
    server? depends.... all office 365 sessions are run on their servers,
    but the basic OS is just sending all your data to the servers while
    running on your own system (for now) .

    There is a general push to get the entire computing population to
    move to a server based system. This allows the companies to control
    everything done on their software, and be able to gather/use/sell
    whatever information people put out there. Put it on the Internet and
    they own it, not you. You lose any control of that information/data.

    People in the know have been warning of this for many years now, but
    the general population loves the easy way to do things , and just
    waves their hands at all the intrusive parts as being the cost of
    convenience. To get around it you would need to have absolutely zero connections to the Internet. No Cell Phone, no modern car or TV, no
    alexa, no cable box, or youtube. No thermostat that connects to the
    web.... etc.

    How can you tell? Simple... are you connected to the Internet at any
    time? Yes? then someone/thing is gathering information on you .

    What if I don't wanna share my data
    with any servers and keep those data
    offline? There shuold be a way for
    customers to choose that path. There
    maybe toy data, or maybe unfinished
    academic research stuffs.

    Donate or dispose/destroy all your electronic devices.

    Go to any home supply store and purchase a pack of #2 pencils, an 8.5 by
    11" quadrille pad and box of manila folders.

    Return home, sharpen the pencil and start writing.

    1: you encrypt the data so that no one but you can read it.
    2: you have no connection to the internet.
    3:Firewall/block every single site or IP address that may be stealing
    or listening in to your computer. But that list would be huge, and
    most sites would no longer work . You wouldn't be able to use e-mail
    (Google owns 35% of the email servers, and is able to monitor most of
    the rest through partnerships with other companies). Messaging
    services would be out as well, as google runs android so you would be
    going through them , or apple, or microsoft.
    So the only way is install linux, and don't use any online services
    unless you know they do not sell , store or monitor your data.

    There shuold be a way for
    customers to choose that path. There
    maybe toy data, or maybe unfinished
    academic research stuffs.

    There is no benefit to the companies/governments to allow the customers/citizens to do that . Your data is the product that they are
    selling. Its as simple as that. I agree morally speaking there should
    be a way to keep my things private. But the only way to get those
    other benefits, like internet access, and AI, is to let them take all
    of your information, that is today's currency. And we all know about
    the morality of today's big business/Governments. Anything to make a
    profit Or influence your decision making is acceptable for them.

    My reply was specific with respect to "I don't wanna share my data
    with any servers and keep those data offline?"

    Thus you will have nothing online(only offline).
    If still concerned, reduce your footprint even further...try chalk and blackboard or sticks in the sand.

    Sticks in the sand aren't much good .... as they might get wiped out at
    High Tide .... and, given Climate Change, High Tide is only getting
    HIGHER!! ;-P

    That's makes reducing the footprint even further.
    - chalk can be erased, wind or even blowing hot air wipes the stick
    drawing.
