Eh, it works okay. Skipping Windows seems like the top choice. I appreciated how he discovered some programs disregard user preferences. This is what occurs with proprietary tools—it makes you wonder what else is overlooking your inputs. You don<|pad|>, you're just not in control; the software dictates it.

He makes a bad video with exaggerated points and misses important details. The software he uses only changes settings to Privacy, disabling everything, which is not reliable and seems buggy. This is the worst of his videos. I respect him, but with Microsoft, he clearly still has issues and shows dislike.

The information contains several inaccuracies. The program doesn't just affect privacy settings; it modifies multiple system components and services. It interacts with various applications like Bing, Office, and OneDrive, and alters registry entries to suppress certain features. Concerns about data access from companies like Microsoft are valid, making this a significant issue.

I haven't seen the video, but it seems blocking MS telemetry requires adding their servers to a router. In Windows 10, blocking them isn't effective because the system ignores those instructions.

That is true. It is all coded well inside the OS. You cannot disable telemetry data collecting, you need to do it via hardware firewall (well your router, for a home/small office setup)

I believe the Microsoft Privacy Statement serves as a key reference for people's worries about privacy at Microsoft. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement/ It lacks clear boundaries, and the assurance of no misuse comes solely from the company's firm stance against using personal<|pad|> their concerns. This approach feels similar to someone claiming innocence about harming a child while babysitting or a thief pretending to protect your funds. Microsoft doesn't appear reliable in this context, and personal accounts aren't usually trustworthy indicators of credibility. The logic here seems confusing, especially since other platforms like Google don't fit the same profile. I think such exceptions shouldn't be allowed, and Microsoft's policy regarding sharing data with authorities aligns with legal requirements in certain sensitive situations.

I express my complaints about every Windows update since it isn't open source. I’m not implying he was a hypocrite, but I think he made this video mainly because it’s a current issue. It’s clear that any Windows release after PRISM isn’t reliable, and you can’t always be certain your settings are working correctly. (For example, Edge sometimes skips redirects to bing.com) Personally, I wouldn’t recommend Firefox because of internal ethical concerns, and the default search bar felt off. I’d suggest trying Pale Moon or GNU IceCat, along with startpage.com, ixquick.com, or searx.me.
