Yesterday we reported that an international group of hackers claim they have breached Apple’s iCloud user database and stolen 300 million usernames and passwords.

I was told Apple had the best security known to mankind.☺

I suspect everything is monitored, REGARDLESS of how you set those settings.

I can’t seem to turn that off.

Time to roll back to W7.

if you are a Windows 10 user then every single keystroke you have ever typed on your computer may have been logged and sent to Microsoft.

Another reason not to be a Windows10 user. Still using Windows 7.

This is why I will cling to Win 7 until my last dying breath.

Also, I quit Win 7 updates back when they tried to force Win 10 on us. Zero problems, McAfee does a good job of keeping me safe.

Mine is grayed out and I can't turn it on even if I wanted to. But then I have all of those turned off anyway.

You can’t turn everything off completely- even when you change a setting, it still in some cases records and sends- and updates were, maybe still do- change it back to ‘allow’ when you aren’t looking-

Windows 10 spyware crap sucks-

If you still use Win7 AND you have updates turned off, Microsoft can still get inside your computer.

A long time back, I turned Win Updates off. Occasionally, I will notice a glitch and have to do a system restore. I notice in the system restore several somewhat recent entries — Critical Update. Note that that update had already been applied — even though my Win 7 Update is turned off.
