But they are also using the local AI to spy on you.

Meta said it does not, but what about 3rd parties…

I do not own any Orange Camels.

It was a thrift store auction website, when they first started there was almost no one bidding, so I won TONS of awesome things for cheap. Eventually more and more people joined and the auctions are not as easy to find deals.

I gave them laptops, Linux mint pre-installed. I used to buy auction lots of broken laptops, so I got them for like $10 each. Threw in an SSD. It works as fast as a new machine for browsing the web and watching YouTube. I also pre-installed some common programs to get them started.

Is called “Windows” because they are always looking in at you. I have been on Linux since they announced recall, and their fucking one drive kept secretly uploading my desktop files! (Kept seeing sync icons, even with all that disabled). Since then I now have my wife, uncle, dad, friends, etc all running Linux now.

A few stream decks, cam link pro, 4k60 pro and maybe a few other items. I know the stream deck has 3rd party programs but they require typing in commands and stuff to setup.

I agree. I switched to Linux full time a few months ago and there are several things just easier than windows.

Installing the OS was super simple, I didn’t have to turn off 10 settings that it wanted to sell my info, no keys to type in, no registration or spying, no candy crush and 20 other unwanted programs. I have to customize windows so much to my liking and then an update takes it away.

I just wish Elgato products had Linux support. I have emailed them a few times to suggest it. Maybe when 10% Linux share or 15%… I’m waiting.

During the past few months I now have myself, my wife, my uncle, and my dad on Linux!!!

Thanks for the kind words. <3

When I was in college almost 20 years ago, my first car was stolen by a pro chop shop.

My first car was a magical feeling of freedom. I was able to go anywhere and have friends with me, it was like a home away from home. One day I parked it and a few hours later I went to leave and the car was gone. I filled a police report and insurance.

About 3 days later the police found the car on the street with no engine, no wheels, just dumped there.

I went to see the car at the impound lot and wow everything was missing or destroyed. The entire car was covered in oil to hide fingerprints. I was destroyed.

There have also been times where people steal from my house, people I thought were friends. But the car really damaged me. I’m not the same person I was before the car was stolen.

I did not know you can disable the map, I will need to do that.

I only used the map once to see which photos may have accidentally had GPS Embedded, but turns out it was only the photos that other people took and sent me. lol

Can I just block the 3rd party company URL on my router?

Why does the “advanced” button do? Might switch it to the mode your used to.

My Chinese made BliKVM had a back door. One day I went into my bios and it was in Chinese! I immediately removed all the kvm, reflashed my bios, and kept that computer unplugged now.

lol too late, I’m on Linux, my server runs Linux, my dads on Linux, and later today my wife will be on Linux.

Too late Microsoft, I jumped into the Linux pool and the water is fine.

I think it died when they started paying people For answers. People asked the most stupid questions just so they can be the top answers

If I don’t own it, I am not paying for it.
