Now they can observe what you're doing with Microsoft Recall and Copilot. Control. The next step is to lock you out via policy if they want to shut you down.
This is debanking 2.0. In case you forgot, let me remind you. In the UK, Nigel Farage was debanked for politics. In Canada, truckers were frozen out of their bank accounts.
In China, if you have low social scores, you have no access to WeChat, which is their primary payment method. Now this new sophisticated infrastructure exists in the West.
Not so crazy to use Linux anymore, is it?
Excellent post.
I’m sold on the first sentence. Cant you just say how to turn the effing thing off in one small paragraph? Good grief!
W7 MAX here.
Some VMs with XP.
Otherwise Linux Mint, though I think I like 21 better than 22.

TPMs are perfect for IoT devices, but I don’t see the appeal for one’s personal computer.
Regardless of platform & OS, full disk encryption for commercial reasons when necessary, but not for personal reasons including laptops. Instead for personal bank data etc., use spot/file encryption.
This is good info, thanks for posting. I’ll have to watch the video, bookmarked it. I have avoided windows 11 so far. This will be just in case. It all seems way too above my head and hope the how to turn it off is an easily shown process.
Unless things have changed drastically, the federal government runs Windows on a lot of their computers, particularly those used for administrative purposes, which is most of them.
I doubt they will accept spyware on their computer systems.
More spy crap from Microsoft...............
Thanks for posting.
Microsoft Windows is now just a surveillance tool. Linux is now dirt simple to get into. Modern distributions practically walk you by the hand for a clean install. And that comes from someone whose first install was Slackware on 3.5 in. floppies downloaded over a dialup modem over the course of days.
How about a 5 bullet summary instead of 20 paragraphs?

Chip multiprocessors
Chip multiprocessors (CMPs) are a type of microprocessor that integrates multiple processing cores onto a single chip, allowing for improved performance and scalability. They are essential in modern computing systems, enabling parallel execution of multiple threads and improving throughput. CMPs can be classified into homogeneous (identical cores) and heterogeneous (cores with different architectures), each offering unique advantages for specific workloads. Key components of a CMP include multiple processing cores, a cache hierarchy for efficient data access, and interconnects for communication between cores. CMPs have become a standard in high-performance computing, addressing the limitations of traditional uniprocessors and enabling the development of more efficient and powerful processors.

I read the above, and for good measure watched the video too. I’ve watched other videos by Braxman, also.
My comprehension in these matters runs about 45-50%. That’s where you read, but come away understanding pretty much nothing of any practical use.
The upside of that is, I am able to ask very simple questions.
Here’s one. Say I buy a Win11 (or a Mac) and I have no internet connection, no ISP, nada. The new computer is just for playing with Blender, CAD, and music software that needs no subscription. Do I have anything to worry about?
Yes/no — what say ye?
Microsoft has access to all the data on your Win11 computer. And on your Win10 if you opted into the free extended service for Win10 (Win10 users who extended - you did pay attention to what they said during the process, didn’t you?
I also never used CoPilot.
The ONLY thing I use windoze for is video games and programming my radios. After I figure out how to program radios on my old win7 pc I could abandon windoze. I would quit video games to not use win11.
Only one pc runs windoze. All my others are Linux Cinammon Mint. LOVE Linux.
Son-in-law gave me an old laptop that wouldn’t work on win10. So I installed an SSD and Linux. And the laptop works like new now. F()ck ms and windoze.
If you suspend BitLocker protection for a fixed data drive or removable data drive, the drive remains unlocked and unprotected until you manually resume BitLocker protection for the drive. This is even after you restart the PC or disconnect and reconnect the drive, in the case of a removable data drive. Whereas, if you suspend BitLocker protection for an OS drive, it will remain unlocked and unprotected until you either manually resume BitLocker protection for the drive, or have it resume BitLocker protection automatically the next time you restart the PC.
You must be signed in as an Administrator to be able to suspend or resume protection for drives encrypted by BitLocker in Windows 11/10. BitLocker Drive Encryption is available on all editions of Windows, except the Home edition.
Launch File Explorer, then do the following;https://www.thewindowsclub.com/suspend-or-resume-bitlocker-protection
