Time have changed. I'm not saying that this is easy. Microsoft has altered their operating system to report real-time data back to a central data repository. They managed to do this because the operating system was just so easy to use, users had the natural inclination to touch the propriety OS instead of free and open source software. Next, next, next, and you've accepted browser history disclosure through the setup along with your voice fragments, for which a BestBuy associate, or perhaps an automated process has accepted the terms of the license agreement, at a physical store before you even bought the machine. I just wanted to tell you the truth. You are one of the only remaining options for users who wish to be free. (FreeBSD) Of course, we can optimize our settings to disable the tracking, diagtrack, set that to 4 with regedit 'disabled'. Firewall, set it to blocking from the inside, remove the default configuration from MS. Add almost 100 entries to the host file, but the OS will ignore some entries anyways. The system administrator thought that NAT meant to block from the inside too, but that wasn't a true firewall, it was network address translation.. Windows Update, set a policy to prevent automated rebooting of the machine while you're working. NAT, it's just a program that took the source address, and updated each frame to correspond to the outside layer 3 address and network. I took the time send you this because you this because I know you have the opportunity to create the next free OS. The one that respects people's rights. It's not going to be easy, but you have the opportunity to create an alternative. Monitor mode to see each machine on the network, instead of the Android mentality of not allowing low-level network access all together. Android users don't even have access to the ARP table in Android 10 'permission denied'. Which devices are on your WiFi network anyways? From Google, Fing, we destroyed you're whole business. Trying to protect your home with Haven? We will disallow camera access from a background thread, and we'll say that this is in the name of fighting APT malware. You are free and open source developers up against something that is truly evil. Regardless of what it said here, the community is looking to you to give the choices back. Look at Android. Most devices have locked the bootloader down to the point where free and open software (FOSS) could not even run without a signatory key from the device's manufacture who would never escrow such a key without monetary involvement. Create the software, the platform, that mobile devices can run on. Let each user have access to software and we will do the rest, to ensure that no one is denied access to this software, even at risk of our own lives. Create something that is truly intuitive. Make a whole new desktop OS that define Microsoft's and Apple's logic.
