There is no way. And even if there was, Microsoft could just get around that too.

Why would you? Could it be that you're a terrorist?

Install Gentoo

As far as i know, these are suppose to do it

Those don't disable all the telemetry, Win 10 still phones home after those are used. Installing Linux is literally your only option for an up to date os.

stop memeing
nobody wants your practically useless os

Install GNU/Linux.

Wew lad, maybe you should >>>/v/ since you obviously only use your computer for gaymes and you don't have the capability of appreciating an os that actually gives you control.

Also being a meme doesn't mean it's wrong. Win 10 is literally spyware

winfags will never understand

Programming, web surfing, reading, listening to music, you know a computer is more than gayming right?

Literally all you mentioned Win does better, faster and with ease. Now don't get me wrong, Win OS is utter shit but hit me up when Linux will get 10% of the amazing utilities and software that Win offers.

Get a Mac. Both Windows and Ganoo/loonix are jokes at this point.

>>55636307
ahh so it's only good for servers then? i guess you should only use it on servers
>extremely customizable
>installing an os for ricing
absolutely pathetic. if anyone really liked ricing that much, they could just run linux in vb
>>55636331
>Programming, web surfing, reading, listening to music
so you got linux to do exactly the same thing you can do windows except with worse software, shoddy drivers, and with no vidya on the side? sounds great :)
>>
>>55636377
Most of the software I use is free as in freedom and available for Windows already.
>>
>>55635923
install gentoo (seriously)
>>
>>55636406
Yeah, and with no botnet. Which is kind of the whole point.
>>
>>55636543
Then use Win7 and delete the botnet updates.

There's a piece of software, I forgot what it's called but you should be able to find it rather easily, that essentially removes every potentially privacy-risking feature from Windows 10 including telemetry and a shitload of other stuff.

Now, it's good to remember that this is potentially useless and Microsoft may have methods to get around it anyway, but the only way to live with full privacy nowadays anyway is to literally go off the grid in an underground bunker restricting yourself to burner phones in some South American jungle. At this point most anyone who matters has all your data anyway so it's up to you whether you want the comfort of maybe just being able to cut off their surveillance before they find more or just saying fuck it and not worrying about it any longer.
>>
Why would you want to turn it off?
Here's why you don't want to do that: if you turn it off telemetry then Microsoft won't get your usage data. If all neckbeards disable it, Microsoft will only be left with the data of normies. They use this telemetry data to decide what direction to take Windows.

If they only see what normies do, they'll do things only normies will like. Just look what's happened to Firefox since they started using telemetry.
>>
>>55638989
Doesn't matter, neckbeards have the skill to fix it themselves so it balances out. Firefox goes to shit, a dude makes Waterfox and everyone remotely tech savvy uses that instead.

Also, Tron script and Spybot Anti-Beacon.
