How do I disable the keylogger? It's supposedly disabled in the settings but I know that it's really not. I've also got Spybot Anti-Beacon running blocking everything.
Windows apparently will also communicate with vortex-win.data.microsoft.com and settings-win.data.microsoft.com, which are 64.4.54.254 and 64.4.54.253, respectively. I've blocked those IPs with Windows Firewall, but they may have coded it so that outbound rules to those IP addresses are canceled. Those IP addresses are semi-confirmed with a handful of IP tracker websites that show that they're owned by the Microsoft Corporation in bumfuck nowhere, Wyoming.
Do you know how much tinfoil I would need to cover my entire PC?
I'm not made of money, nor tinfoil.

Why on earth are you using windows 10 for anything that you'd be concerned about key logging for?

if you need to ask this question for the OS you installed, you're probably fucking retarded

Answer the question.
Ethan Butler
Simple, use Spybot Anti-Beacon and immunize/block everything. Then install peerblock and download the Microsoft Lists.
Mason Williams
Can I do this on Anniversary?
Easton Davis
Depends on which branch you have, Home, Pro, Enterprise?
Asher Wood
>Spybot Anti-Beacon
This gets shilled a lot here. I don't know if I can trust it.
Jeremiah Cruz
Pro 64 bit
Should I just wait until this shit gets updated for Anniversary to be safe?
Ethan Morris
i prefer ShutUp.
Jayden Peterson
Works fine on my anniversary edition.
Spybot Search and Destroy has been around since 2000. Their Anti-Beacon program is unique in that it directly targets the operating system, instead of downloaded spyware and malware.
Daniel Davis
>Spybot Search and Destroy has been around since 2000.
So what? Large companies that have been around a long time can't be morally dubious? Why are we having this thread in the first place, do you think?

Kevin Long
I just did Shutup10 and Spybot Anti-Beacon and I'm good.
>Pro it doesn't matter, you can only turn off Telemetry in Enterprise/Server editions. Bing search "microsoft removes windows 10 policies"
Leo Cook
If you block all MS servers though it doesn't matter. Telemetry can't phone home.
Parker Allen
>I'm good. No. You're not.
Nathaniel Morris
That's the thing these programs only block KNOWN servers, with this new update there's no knowing what new implementations and ways to call home has been done. Personally I'm waiting for Blackbird to get updated, check it out some time.
Asher Powell
use a different OS and dual boot windows for your games or whatever

Any server that is contacted by Windows is immediately known. You can't send data to an unknown location.

OK, explain how a packet can be sent without knowing the IP address.

You install Gentoo.
Eli Jenkins
How about: Don't use Windows 10. Have you ever thought of that?
Luis Stewart

Jackson Johnson
Why are you even using an operating system with known keylogging abilities? And why are you even updating Windows at all? It's not like you can see the change logs of so called security updates, so, why even bother? All games still work fine on Windows 7 btw.
Austin Richardson
I was talking about 7
Ayden Russell
This works pretty well for me and it's open source.
The same can be said about Windows 7. After a clean install, turn off auto updates, install some games and boot it when you want to play something.
Austin Nelson
No, no. I meant it's safe to install priority updates on 7. No spyware crap that gets installed doesn't send anything unless join that CEIP-thing. Services and scheduled tasks are there and most of them are off and the ones that do anything state that they do collect info but don't do anything unless you agree to it.
Brody Sanders
>installing 3rd party software and trusting it to block anything, without spying on you >every windows update resets these anyway

Ryder Gutierrez
>do collect info but don't do anything unless you agree to it. Don't SEND anything.
Why even bother installing any updates at all if it is known that they're literal malware?
Wyatt Stewart

Benjamin James
Good riddance. Keep trusting Microsoft.
Carson Cooper
>Any server that is contacted by Windows is immediately known. You can't send data to an unknown location. I'm pretty sure that the problem he's referring to is that the makers of that software doesn't necessarily know the IPs that Windows is phoning home to after the update, which assumes that the list is hardcoded...not that there's no known recipient address to anyone/anything involved.
Christopher Brown
CompTIA Networking I & II are literal shit!

Carter Young
chances are you're running windows later than 8 and secure boot is enabled.
Colton Brown
My little user can't possibly be this dumb.
Camden Young
Use peerblock it updates the list every day. I set it up once and I'll never have to do it again on this drive.
Carson Foster
Again >Using an OS you have to fight against if you don't want to be spied on.
Jayden Rogers
So five minutes of effort is worse than the hours I'd spend fighting software/shit driver support?

Charles Wright
You're wrong. It just follows a negative, which is how he used it with "not."
Parker Martinez
You don't have to use Gentoo. Try Antergos or Ubuntu and then form your opinion.
Jack Martin
hello fa/g/gots, I just received a second hand rig for use as a media centre. unfortunately, win10 is pre installed, so my question is, what OS would you choose from here?
Caleb Williams
Where are the vidya games? Where are the SpeedTree/Adobe suites? Where is the music production software? The Nvidia/AMD drivers that don't suck shit?
And don't say wine because I'll reach through my monitor and smack the shit out of you.
Evan Kelly
For a media center? Install Ubuntu server and Plex.
Adam Carter
I have used Ubuntu/Mint and I do too much that can't be done through Linux natively.
Jason Taylor

OK then. Just choose the best of both worlds. Use Linux for everything rather then video editing, audio production and gaming.
Julian Gutierrez
Linux has 25% of windows' library. 41% of the top 1000 steam games support Linux. 25% is already more than both current gen consoles combined. And that's just since 2012. Before that Linux didn't have a steam client, just super tux kart.

Why you do this MS?
Brody Stewart
Thats sone quality thread contribution kiddo
Elijah Anderson
I am not simply disabling Cortana. I am blocking every single connection going out to unrecognized servers.
Why? What benefit do I get out of that? That just leaves web browsing and Edge is currently benchmarking better than every browser on the market. I switched over from Pale Moon and I love it.
None of the games I play. Trust me, I really like Linux and I'll jump ship when things get better but I'm not going to artificially make things more difficult for myself when it fits none of my needs.
Dylan James
It's sad isn't it. Fucking sheep mentality having to use the latest version, they give in their freedom and privacy for it.
Henry Lewis
Install gentoo
Hudson Collins
>not using the objectively best version of Windows It performs better. has more features and aesthetically looks way better than W7/8
It astounds me how people will buy new hardware to get better performance but skimp out on the software driving it all.
Take 10 minutes, remove the telemetry shit, call it a fucking day.
Samuel Nelson
>None of the games I play For me there's only one game I can't play in Linux. I'm okay giving that up and not buying windows games if it boosts Linux. Linux is caught in a catch 22 situation, somebody has to go first. Fortunately it seems like it's working. Linux desktop usage is climbing for the first time I can remember.

You seriously think M$ is gonna get your data, and send the Gestapo to your house for arrest?
If anyone got arrested for info M$ received via its telemetry, that would be the absolute end of M$, since EVERYONE would immediately abandon their OS.
Jordan Anderson
This Fucjing useless idiots those macrsoblows morons are
Ryder Carter
>If anyone got arrested for info M$ received via its telemetry, that would be the absolute end of M$ Unfortunately no, user. It's been revealed that Microsoft has agreed to collect data for the PRISM program. Most of M$ data is sent to government facilities. There, it doesn't matter if it came from Microshit or Applel or Wahoo or whatever...
If they want to get you, they will, no doubt about it.
And they won't get you in the traditional way, but they'll perform an XXI Century Character Assassination and fuck your public image completely. Your friends and family will not want to be near you.
>I've blocked those IPs with Windows Firewall nigger what the fuck are you doing? Do you really think you can disable the botnet using Windows' own tools? Are you really that delusional? I always knew that the Windows 10 folk were some special kind of fucktards but this is just too much.
Nicholas Russell
>Let's see what Microsoft says about that This is merely for the casual users. You won't be able to turn it off using the Windows-given settings panel. That way you cannot turn it off.
Otherwise, there is a way of monitoring the machine using 3rd party tools and block off the addresses on your machine or on a local router. That, along with the Group Policy Options and Registry modifications, one can cut off the telemetry.
If doubtful, stop shitposting and start checking yourself
