Can Windows 10 be modified in such a way as to prevent Microsoft from fucking me in the ass?
The answer to that is
>>54617234
Yes.
Diagtrack service can be purged with linux live distro. It's responsible for collecting and submitting telemetry to ms servers.
Rest can be done through group policy.
>>54617234
Use Entreprise, nigger.
>>54617234
Just block every known microsoft domain and all IP-ranges in your router firewall, then use a Win10-AntiSpy like Destroy Windows10 Spying.
>fucking me in the ass
Well let me take a wild guess here. /g/ must have told you that. Yes? So what the fuck is with you listening to random advice on web? No? Then ask the one that told you.
DWS_lite
OOSU10
>>54617234
install gentoo.
>>54617234
The safest way is to use a router with IP white listing, but you will need to manually add all the trusted IP's you want to connect only. This shouldn't be too bothersome, unless you use big services with many domains like google, It's not wise to add big domains either.
You can't do this with a firewall since the OS could bypass it without your knowledge.
>>54617595
This. But make sure the router is at least 10 years old.
>>54617483
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=windows+10+tracking
>>54617595
It is even easier to run your system with no default route. use an ethernet wire to a cheap $30 openwrt router, install privoxy on it and be cautious when letting your browser of choice in on the proxy informations (so the OS doesn't know).
>>54617613
So? I use windows 10 for my work etc. I watch movies sometimes, browse web, check emails and that's that. I don't care tracking bullshit. They can do whatever the fuck they want. It doesn't affect me.
>>54617673
Yes please feed the corporations with more user data. I wont follow the other lemmings.
>>54617772
There's literally zero issue with feeding corporations data if user consents to it.
>>54617772
>what is EULA?
You accepted their terms anon and so did I.
>>54617234
>muh privacy
>muh data
telemetry isn't spying and is in Windows since XP, you fucking tinfoil hat speglord
>>54617838
>what is EULA
A concept that has fine intent but is being used to spy on consumers for W10, I ain't accepting those terms.
>>54617673
It can affect you, you just haven't thought how could it affect you. Hint: You don't necessary need to do anything illegal or political related.
Anyways it's really not hard to just use W10 for video games and do everything else in a laptop, I connect my laptop to a big TV and watch stuff there. There is literally no reason to use W10 for movies, mail, web, anything else except video games.
Yes.
Install gentoo
>>54617234
Local account
Set telemetry to basic (you cannot disable it)
Disable everything on privacy settings (so they dont get what you search for, etc)
>>54617961
>i ain't accepting
EULA is the big fucking notice you should agree to before installing Microsoft or any other proprietary software. If you don't accept, the installation will not proceed. Now since you already have windows I assume you agreed to eula.
>>54617965
Nice insight anon. But could Microsoft really give a fuck on what my political preferences are? I don't think I have anything illegal maybe few downloaded songs but who cares? Everyone might have downloaded them. Also I did not install windows 10, windows 8 upgraded itself.
>>54618132
>agreed to it
In button only, i'll disable whatever the hell I want on my OS because I don't want that shit.
>>54618187
>my OS
eh...
>>54617234
Put it in a vm running on a linux system.
Enterprise has the ability to turn basic usage statistics off if you are a tinfoil hat faggot
>>54618249
My hardware my rules, I really can't see how anyone in their right mind can actually accept the level of "telemetry" that goes in W10, even if you don't care about privacy it's system resources being taken up by someone making money off you, a bitcoin miner by any other name.
>>54617793
>>54618132
>It's alright to spy on users because we have the legal right for it
Thats the reason everybody hates lawers
>>54617234
No, it's impossible. Even if you disable the keylogging, the telemetry and all of the other spyware and malware which comes bundled with this operating system, it'll still spy on you. Windows also had a registry key called "NSA key" even way back on windows xp and NT. Stay away from Windows as much as possible.
>>54618132
It's not company I care about but the people behind. I don't want a a stranger to have access to everything I or my family does, information can be sell or used outside without the company consent.
>>54618421
>What is a router firewall?
>>54618460
Interesting point.
>>54618504
Why go through the fucking hassle? By the time you installed a router firewall, blocked IPs, installed scripts to remove shit from your OS yadda yadda, you could've just installed a not-shit OS like debian or gentoo.

No. Microsoft loves backdoors, your's included.

Without a proprietary alternative to Microsoft, this data collection is coercive.

You are so fucking stupid. You are assuming the you are always going to be living in a free society. If at some point the United States becomes a totalitarian government you are automatically disqualifying yourself from joining any military resistance to that totalitarian regime because that regime would know every fucking little detail about you. Who your friends are, what text books you used in school.
If you were to ever join the resistance, you'd be a liability to it. By installing windows 10, you're making the prospect of the United States government become totalitarian more probable.

Linux is idiot proof now, much moreso than Windows. There's no reason to be on Windows outside of gaymen or AutoCAD.
>>54620328
This could easily be done inside of an unnetworked Windows VM or in WINE.
It's absurd to complain about Microsoft's abuses and then refuse to switch operating systems because of a single task that you infrequently perform, a task that could be performed on another OS with a bit of tweaking.
>>54620619
WINE sucks. You clearly only know about using WINE to game in theory and have never used it.

This is all you need to know: Microsoft pioneered the PRISM program and they give their source code to American and Israeli intelligence agencies. Any notion that their spying is used in a limited manner is an assault on common sense.

Microsoft openly cooperates with a federal agencies whose institutional goal is "Collect it all."

There is no backdoor, because they don't need one, Microsoft walks through the front door.

Not what I asked. You're using Tor and you're worried about the party van. Why are you worried about the party van? Are you visiting sites that would get you arrested? You accessing content you shouldn't be accessing?
>>54621318
Illegal is such a strong word. I prefer morally compromising. So lets just assume, hypothetically, that there is some "minor" concern.
>>54621459
What are you doing on Tor?
let's start with that.
>>54621459
oh no, assuming all this mass surveillance and data gathering was true in the first place, microsoft would know some random autist in the middle of nowhere jerks it off to futa, we're doomed
>>54617234
Yes
Just use Disable Windows tracking, uninstall Cortana, and then install classic shell to restore the search menu and make it not gay.
Then, throw in the ability to not update automatically, and you're golden.

Perfectly legal and socially acceptable porn.
Or, conversely, you can just assume the worst.
>>54621528
Yeah, I always hide my traffic to mlp and d. No one must ever know my crimes.
>>54621553
Ok then why would someone who looks at legal and socially acceptable porn be worried about the "party van"? If someone is on tor and they're constantly afraid of a federal raid, then they're probably doing something shady. The FBI isn't going to start an investigation then an operation on someone who looks at regular ol porn

They admitted to cooperating with the NSA to implement Prism.
You're only making yourself look like a shill defending them.
>>54621604
It wasn't just that they cooperated, they were the first company to sign on and they routinely give the government access to bugs months before they're patched, as well as the entire source code for the OS.
>>54621589
Phew! Golly gee willickers mister, thanks for the 411 on that! I thought for sure the FBI was on the way to haul me away for looking at those online lingerie catalogues.
As thanks, can you give me all your personal information in this thread so that I might better pray for you? Leave nothing out. We don't want the lord and Santa to get confused.
Depends on what you understand by " prevent Microsoft from fucking me in the ass".
According to MS own articles, the lowest possible level of telemetry is so called "security level", officially only for Enterprise/Edu editions. It this setting, data being send to MS is limited to your device ID, device class (desktop, laptop, etc), OS version, MSRT report (not present if you disabled MSRT in general), Defender report (not present if you have any 3rd party AV installed and running - Defender will stay active if you dont, even disabled, it will turn back on anyway).
As you can see, the data is being send anyway, as the "Connected User Experience and Telemetry component settings" is always on - the content of the packages is controlled by settings. "If data has been gathered and is queued to be sent, the Connected User Experience and Telemetry component downloads its settings file from Microsoft’s servers.".
MSRT report can contain some private information, so it is suggested to turn it off as well.
There is also solution of killing the diagtrack service and adjusting some files to make it stay that way instead of restarting, so I cant say for sure if this really work, as I dont have running Win10 myself (I stay on 7).

Rajeesh in full damage control mode. Thankfully, you get paid by the post.
>>54622007
I have no idea, they were arguing about whether or not MS had a monopoly on proprietary operating systems, and whether or not it was actionable if they did. Someone said yes, under the guise that Windows was the only choice in proprietary systems. Some other fucktarded moron then disagreed by linking a wiki article listing all sorts of proprietary systems, absolutely none of which are viable for home consumers. This was the post I replied to.
>>54621975
It's tested at the end of the instructions. It isn't using that method to bypass hosts.

Oh, so it's using some *other* method to bypass hosts and still farm data. Nice.

You just said it was using another method to bypass hosts. I was actually hoping you could elaborate more on that.
>>54622153
I wasn't clear enough: the method in that pastebin works because hosts are not being bypassed.
>>54622178
Okay, but that other faggot says that they are being bypassed. Now which is it?

They are not. The other faggot provided no solid info that they were, just conjecture.
>>54619937
Does this really work?
>>54622269
No goy. Don't disable anything. It's pointless to try. Trust me.
>>54622269
yes, but only if it's done during installation on a new system. if you've already installed windows 10 on a computer, it's fucked.
>>54621354
Well obviously a lot of guys monitored all traffic via router firewalls like pfsense and collected domain names. How do you think did we end up with so many spyware domains to block? You think M$ did release a list or something?
>>54622883
That list has to be constantly monitored and updated. All they have to do is create a new domain POOF, there goes your privacy. They'll learn everything you tried to hid from them in less than a second.

You cant disable telemetry completely. Even if you follow various pastebin guides Win10 will fuck you up with next update.
>>54625674
you can disable updates and manually update after each one has been vetted by the community.
>>54625236
How do you even get those suggestions. I don't ever see that on my computer and I have 10.
Also, how would one go about setting up a small Linux server (or laptop) that can be used to connect to the Internet for files, browsing, whatever, while keeping a Windows machine completely unplugged from the net?
