You're viewing a single thread.
I mean, MS can literally track you between Windows installs, as long as you're on the same hardware. No surprises here.
your work
There's a big difference between a giant corporation (that wants you to continue using its products) seeing every site you've visited, and your fucking employer, source of not being homeless and starving to death.
Right up until those large corporations start selling the ability as a service.
You know, like Google does with corporate MITM proxies.
It's just a matter of who's willing to pay. Some corporate entities will happily pay up and harvest your data in the name of 'security'.
The only way those large corporations can use that ability, is when your employer pays for it.
Otherwise it wouldn't happen.
Since if it did happen, they would get sued by every company that uses their software.
How? Is there a way to mitigate this?
No not really. I mean you could never connect to the internet I guess. But that's the best mitigation there is as long as your using windows. Or run it in a VM?
So you can understand how this works, each device in your computer has a uid or hid, a unique id, or hardware id. This remains consisten as long as you have the hardware. Things that have this are like hard drives pcie cards, etc.
There's also just the fundamental unique ways your PC is built. Of all windows users how many have an Nvidia card? 90% of those 90% how many have the same drive configuration. 5% of those how many are running Intel CPU. Etc etc...
You are sadly very unique.
Yep, I guessed this was the way. Thanks for clarifying :)
Have you heard of Linux?
Of course I did. My only OS for the past 7 years
So that's how you do it. :) 🤙🐧
The only way :) Once I stopped using all proprietary software, I also quit social media (this account is the first one after such a long time) and I've never felt happier. Linux and privacy for the win!
Couldn't agree more!
Linux is not an option in the real corporate world.
Doesn't have the features necessary to run big businesses.
Nor does Linux have compatible software for the millions of different factory machines.
Install a Linux distro.
I use Gentoo on my main computer. I was just curious.
No thanks
