NSFW transcript of (the only) twice-impeached US president

This was pretty informative and shocking.
And then Chris Titus made this video
They literally record everything you do, at least if it is a "Copilot plus" PC with a "neural engine".
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
For people who say you should read the contract before agreeing to it. What about the hundreds of thousands? No, millions of people buying new windows laptops every year. Are they presented with any kind of agreement? I don't think so.
Oh they are when they first set up Windows

Maybe I'm missing something, but what is the damage in this screenshot?
High background resource usage.
Ah, the light blue between the 2 lines is background usage? I wouldn't know, I use Arch btw :3
Thanks for asking. I'm using Debian and didn't know either. :p
I too have used arch btw. Currently using pop (deb) tho. I hop around from time to time.
Distro slut! /s

nah i don't care that you're using windows who the fuck still uses eclipse
Eclipse is Free Software and as such it is valuable even if better commercial options exist.
Why not something else free? Geany, etc.?
university students ?
Pretty funny how it says "Unauthorized access" right below screenshots of features clearly being enabled.
But in the end of the day, there is no intended way to turn off Telemetry fully.

To be fair, the access is authorized
Authorized without consent. That is what Louis Rossmann calls a rapist mentality.
I agree with that dudeβs takes but he rubs me the wrong way.

"Authorized" in the sense that even if I set all these options to No, a future Windows update will reset them and not tell me.
Authorized by not denying...
Yes.
This stuff affects the user experience too. Iβve been able to daily drive Linux at work for a few weeks now. Restarting and booting into windows, after being used to Linux on the same hardware, makes windows feel like the slow, cobbled together OS that you can get for free.
I mean, weβre a Microsoft 365 company like many others, but even things like Teams and Outlook feel more responsive in Firefox in Linux than in the native apps on windows. Even video conferencing works great.
This difference isnβt exactly new to me, and Iβve used Unix or Linux sporadically over the past couple decades. However, using it as my main work OS has really highlighted the differences. Hell, even the multi-monitor support is better!
And this is with Mint Cinnamon installed, not some cutting edge or lean & fast distro.
