LARP as a 5'3 black woman form brooklyn when you sign up for everything.

VPN, Tor, DuckDuckGo, McDonalds WiFi, ski mask

If you want a pc designed for privacy take the HDD out of a laptop and boot Tails from a CDRom.
If you want a pc with no google or Microsoft get Debian.

Is Debian an OS?

>he thinks google is bad
>doesnt know about Intel Management Engine
>doesnt know about AMDs Platform Security Processor

this but unironicaly

Yes its a linux distribution. Enjoy playing only pic related tough and say bye bye to your vidya.

maybe you should just forget about it

>

smash your phone dude

'building a computer' i.e. paying twice as much for one tenth the reliability and no warranty hahahahahahh

What is DuckDuckgo.com?

You are already in a compromised machine I suppose.
>Compile a bunch of offline desktop app installation .exe files that you've tested to be working and good
>Get a VPN with offline installation option
>Get a new computer or hard drives (wiping them completely isn't easy)
>Install it offline
>Only go on the internet through the VPN
>Only allow desktop apps to go through the VPN
>Obviously never use Google services or sites with Google+ plugins
>Never use any sites that have any kind of plugins of shit you have to be logged in for (Like Facebook). You can run scripts for this. It'll increase loading time every time though.
>Never allow cookies
>Never allow Javascripts and stuff like that automatically
>create new email addresses and passwords for everything
>never have passwords or CC info in digitalised formats, only on paper (making up too crazy passwords is counter productive)
>Have an extra computer running for viewing shit like YouTube. Only view shit on that that you'd have no problem admitting to in court or in front of a BLM lynch mob. If you have a decent phone or a gaming console, do it through that and connect it to a TV.
>Experiment with and do research on less known search engines and browsers. Whichever one is currently the best for what you'll need can change all the time
>Look into Linux OSs
>Try to keep up to date, shit can change pretty fast

But honestly, it's not worth it unless you are doing illegal shit. I just allow Google to rape me because at worst they'll have info on how regular and boring my sexual taste is. Who gives a shit?

Also this. All mainstream hardwares are compromised. You might be able to keep Google's automated botnet out of your life, but groups like the NSA or high level hackers can always fuck your shit up. You'll need unique OSs to bypass that, but if you even need to ask, you shouldn't be fucking around with those.

>implying

>you can run spyware removal to reduce win 10 snooping
use win. for games only
>linux encrypted on another drive

>Linux has no gaymes
Bro, it's not 2005 anymore.

Self built computer's are cheaper and all your parts are guaranteed though...bait? My 5 year old self build beats new Apple computers on sale for €2000.

>how do you keep new machines pristine?

Dust filters on case, microfiber cloth, compressed air (can or proper compressor at your discretion), and a vacuum cleaner for accumulated exterior dust / case filters.

>Hey guys check out my $12,000 E-machine. It's pretty f-f-fast, right?

adnauseam.io/

ad nauseam bros. dl it, it costs google money and prevents tracking.

BlackArch. Take the fight back into their court.

buy early 2000's era components and install Linux

youtube.com/watch?v=8Gv0H-vPoDc

T E M P L E OS

>this pic
Everytiem

DON'T install this, it's literally made by Israelis that are testing some back end keylogger or some shit

use a public computer to do everything private

m thinking about having air intake from outdoors, do you think thats overkill. Im in Canada so the air is cool.

You can get a refurb from Amazon for under $200, add a $75 slimline graphics card and it’ll run budget shit

No such thing with the current internet

if you want a safe machine you'll need to buy some ancient fucking hardware, like I'm talking late 90s/early 2000s and try to find a secure enough linux distro

My grammar is shit? Give me a break, look at my flag!

>no warranty
you can go to those pc builder websites, they offer 2 to 3 years warranty and even 2 year upgrade warranty. so if your pc becomes slow for some reason they will upgrade it for free

how is this safe from inadvertently loading malware via ads?

I hope she has callouses on her fingers, or that isn't plugged in. :p

I'm not broke. I can afford a good desktop. I just see no need to pay double for an apple logo.

>build $300 PC
>it's faster than a $800 cuckphone and has a real CPU that can run good software instead of an ARM manlet CPU that can only run "apps"

Yeah he's a gypsy. Give him a break.

> how do I keep google out of my life?
logout, uninstal chrome, throw away your chromebook, throw away you samrtphone, change your dns away from 8.8.8.8, use browser in private mode etc.

There is no way to avoid government oversight now. There is a legitimate post from many months ago from an user who works (worked?) for Intel. He disclosed that the US government has worked in tandem with both Intel and AMD to subvert the hardware layer (think physical processing cores) by adding a chip below this physical hardware layer that has a backdoor. Any new chips being manufactured have this backdoor already installed. There is little to no way of avoiding government purview of your daily goings on, anyhow.

Tor is compromised as it was DEVELOPED BY THE FUCKING NAVY. (Dumb fucks thinking it isn't are kidding themselves).

Only way to truly keep your daily browsing private is to not use the internet. You'd need a private network of privacy-minded people who all connect to one another via an air-gapped network in order to even have outside communication that has the best security built-in.

Good luck finding such a network. If there is one (and I'm sure there are people around the world that have done such things), they wouldn't publicly advertise it anywhere. You'd definitely not get anything off of it other than what others share so you'd need a device somewhere (hopefully not on the same network as your device with air-gapped connectivity) with internet connection in order to get your information still.

Put it this way, the only people you can prevent from finding out about you forcefully are companies like Apple, Google, Amazon, etc. This is due to your ability to refuse to use their products. However, that is becoming increasingly difficult as those companies are spreading their tendrils in to every facet of your every-day life because they're working with the government to develop personality profiles on every human being.

> tl;dr

Unless you have really old tech, which won't run the newest systems or be secure from vulnerabilities, you are fucked and the government will still see you. Hardware is also compromised.

>A lisping american trying to educate me on proper english.

Better pray Vulkan is a step up over OpenGL, or you'll need to be run Windows for DirectX 12 as most game engines support that and OpenGL (which is absolute trash...I have programmed rendering engines with both DirectX and OpenGL). Metal is slowly being accepted, but that's Apple only so lel.

Fuck you.

>do you think thats overkill

Yes. You won't benefit but will create many problems for yourself.

If you want feds out of your computer you get pre-2009 cpus, you fucking moron

>not playing emulators

Modern games are trash schlomo

>You can get a refurb from Amazon for under $200

really, which type exactly?

Snap your fagster suspender straps elsewhere, Cleetus. No one cares about your chique choice of gaming platform.

thank god i kept my old pentium 2 in the attic !!!

That can only support Windows 98!! Lucky you!

what happened in 2009?

>leaf

build it yourself and install Linux OS, or pre-10 windows

libreboot.org/faq.html#intel

jokes on you, theres a backdoor in every processor

To summarize what that link says, "The US Government has a direct backdoor in to your system whether you want there to be one or not. It even circumvents any OS running on the chip since the backdoor lies below the physical cores in terms of operational layers.

> tl;dr

The government is now inside your CPU's

Just have two machines. One, more expensive, for vidya, work and normie things and another, cheaper with VPN's for lurk and hardcore stuff. Just don't EVER log in on both with same accounts.

i have a strong feeling that if u run win 98 today ur pretty much safe from malware and shit

I have a Mac and I enjoy it quite a bit. I'll take the privacy intrusion as long as they don't do some crazy shit like soviet era shaming sessions because I watch fucked up porn.

Actually, ad nauseam is legally cyber terrorism in the US. I would advise against it.

incognito mode and duckduckgo

Firefox masturace and linux

unsafe "calls" are blocked. try it.

pretty comfy to know that you are scamming the advertisers and therefore google is making an ilicit revenue. so it has to make refunds.

Oh god no. Your system is basically a cum-dumpster whore with the ability to transmit every known STD at once.

Also recently an undocumented feature was discovered that partially disables ME:
theregister.co.uk/2017/08/29/intel_management_engine_can_be_disabled/
Why was it there? Because US gov couldn't use the chips themselves so they asked Intell for a way to disable it on their workstations.
>On Monday, Positive Technologies researchers Dmitry Sklyarov, Mark Ermolov, and Maxim Goryachy said they had found a way to turn off the Intel ME by setting the undocumented HAP bit to 1 in a configuration file.

>HAP stands for high assurance platform. It's an IT security framework developed by the US National Security Agency, an organization that might want a way to disable a feature on Intel chips that presents a security risk.

>The Register asked Intel about this and received the same emailed statement that was provided to Positive Technologies.

>"In response to requests from customers with specialized requirements we sometimes explore the modification or disabling of certain features," Intel's spokesperson said. "In this case, the modifications were made at the request of equipment manufacturers in support of their customer's evaluation of the US government's 'High Assurance Platform' program.

>I'll take the privacy intrusion as long as they don't do some crazy shit like soviet era shaming sessions because I watch fucked up porn.
Literally giving up your right to protect against search and seizure. Classic American

Despite popular belief that Apple is "for the people's privacy" as seen in the FBI iPhone hacking incident, Apple willingly shares your information with the government.

That charade was just a PR stunt to separate it from NSA-Windows.

But any choice is a "pick your own poison" choice, so do as you please. I enjoy my Macbook as well for work.

Basically that's the TL;DR of my post, yes. Though the current vidya consoles offer a ton of services like YouTube, Netflix, Twitch or even some surface level browsing. You might not even need two PCs depending on your taste and just get a console.

Get a macbook pro so that you can at least use apple maps and safari instead of googe maps and chrome. Apple try to protect your privacy, microsoft and google do not.

>how do I keep google out of my life?
You dont.

>prevents tracking
>opens every ad it can
Pick one

Lol

I'm pretty sure that the entire Apple privacy scandal thing was a big lie. There's no way a mainstream platform like Apple could fuck with (((them))) on such a level and get away with it.

should i give euthanasia to my old puppy ?
cause i just got excited to get it out and see if it still works and play some fallout 1 !

This is my plan:
>have a normie computer where I play games and do normie shit
>have a bad goy laptop with non-proprietary hardware and software, VPN, Tails, and so on

This way I don't disappear from the internet (which looks suspicious), but my profile will only be of me playing vidya, visiting msn, and watching Frozen on Netflix. Are there any drawbacks to my plan?

> Apple tries to protect your privacy

No...no they do not. That FBI iPhone incident was a PR stunt played off by Apple to set themselves apart from Windows. They share with the US government just the same, just quietly.

Interesting. We'll see if some hacking group releases something to flash the configuration files to set that bit without the requirement of Intel doing it or having some special software made by Intel/US government.

They implement end-to-end encryption in some applications and have an on-chip security enclave. That isn't a PR student. They share the with government because they have to. On the other hand, google's entire reason for existence is to extract your data and sell it to other people.

This.

>watching Frozen on Netflix
>deliberately acting like a faggot to create a false profile
>probably on mute on a device that isn't even facing him
That's geni-
>looks at flag
Oh.

can concur

run mame as its the simplest avenue to (games as pure heroine) and get into actual old hardware if you have the compulsion bigly.

or better yet just cut that cancerous branch of your life out.

If your VPN host ever reveals your real IP, you're fucked, but that is a suitable solution.

A better one would be not connecting them to the same physical network period. But that would prevent you from connecting to a VPN unless you steal internet from a neighbor.

>libreboot.org/faq.html#intel
jesus fuck what a mess

I am aware of what Apple employs in their software. I an software developer who has been specializing in mobile technologies since its inception. I can assure you, wherever they could potentially be requested by any government to share information (even without a warrant), they will do so. They just won't tell you about it as they have an image to uphold so you can believe they truly have your best interests at heart.

do NOT use tails it's compromised and so is every major linux distro

this
THIS
get a pentium 4 or all your pathetic privacy measures are futile

a shitty search engine, please don't use it

you are such a gay retard if you think using win 10 for any purpose is fine even with """"""""reduced"""""" snooping

haha no fuck that shit son

enjoy your botnet retard

it's only a good idea if you have a portable (possibly pirated) VPN and a firefox based browser with all the privacy enhancing addons on a flash drive, just put flash in, use em then leave, extra security, can't be too careful.

>use browser in safe mode
ahahaha you think this shit will protect you from google's LSOs? tard

You are right on all points except there are ways to circumvent it, for example getting old hardware should do it.

also this

>Linux has gaymes
wrong timeline pal.

Oi, acting like faggots are out speciality, give us some credit.

You don't any new hardware you buy is already compromised

what happened in 2009? INTEL AMT happened.

why do i keep forgetting to turn off these shitty
flags

try not to bother with libreboot too much, it requires you to use a particular model of thinkpads and i think that's pretty much an unnecessary hassle
but it's a very good security measure.

Anybody not running Temple OS is a CIA nigger

If you want vidya just dual boot win7, you underages

Nigga just go live in a cabin like Kaczynski.

No.

You can't build a modern computer and achieve such a thing. All the modern hardware and software has built in backdoors.

>they're working with the government to develop personality profiles on every human being.
My own existence is the least interesting thing in my life, so it's a bit flattering that there are people out there expending resources on programming algorithms to figure me out.

Learn how to use virtual machines. Keep things separated. Keep as much as possible away from the main machine.
Sure, nothing is 100 percent safe, but you can make it as hard as it gets for any attacker.
I go so far to have lots of RAM, setup a RAM disk, and surf from a virtual machine copied into RAM. Switch the physical machine off, bam, everything's gone - cookies, history, malware. Granted, I had to repeat some downloads also, but security is always about trade-offs.

agreed

>> -- >> >>

Oh i already do son, my third world country gives 0 fucks about internet laws and of course there's no tracking/surveillance.

hmm i smell someone with a cybersec degree here :)

Just run your VM from a USB drive, it's a bit slower but if you get v& you just microwave the thumb drive

Most of them are indy shit but some established titles have a linux port: xcom, dota, civ, cs, stelaris, half-lifes, rocket league etc. You will not be getting any of the console-first titles that get ported to windows, but you can probably still find something to enjoy.

get libreboot/coreboot compatible hardware and run openbsd with full disk encryption

The firmware of a lot of USB drives is easily infectable and can be used for attacks like simulating a USB keyboard. Better use SD cards.
