Can the fucking spying/telemetry bullshit be permanently disabled yet on Windows 10?

No. There's no such thing as a free OS.

Every fucking day this thread.

No. It can't be fully disabled.

Yep there's a program called Gentoo that will do that.

Install Gentoo

Not even in Enterprise versions?

No

You see user, when you are building OS, you have to keep some vision in your mind. Since the MS got new bosses in the toppest kek management, there were a lot of changes.

One of them was to change:
>Buy product, use OS for whatever you want on whatever hardware in whatever way you want.
To:
>rent OS. YOU are the product now. We will sell whatever data we will collect on you. No you don't disable candy crush, updates, this isn't your PC anymore. Read the fucking eula, we basically own all your files right now and pray we don't install pokemon go on your PC too.

Don't mistake me user, W10 are faster (because compilers are getting better each day and dev team possibly too) and MS will take any means neccesary to force us all on to it. Also it is almost fully cured from W8 metro schizophrenic. Few examples I know:
>kaby lake won't run on it (i wonder how will they implement this in reality)
>DirectX 12 for gamers
>secureboot which will prevent us even run Linux comfy.
>will drop W7 support as soon as possible for corporate (no XP SP1,2,3 will be happening ever again)

DUDE HOLY FUCK look how many threads they make. they just don't stop.

this board is 100% pure market research / corporate brainwashing effort. fuck this place forever i'm out.

Shut the fuck up you brain dead moron. If encrypted virtual machines can hypothetically be hacked, then no shit it's possible to turn off the data collecting. What do you do for a living, work some shitty IT job where you spend all day trying to fix some pedophile's laptop cause he ejaculated to much on his keyboard?

No, it actually got worse with the anniversary update.

You have to pay a subscription to get that. Even then they'll likely change it. 7/MO isn't enough to satisfy Microsoft.

I just fucking need a non-gimped non-spyware version of Windows... chill the fuck out man.

I would use GNU/Linux if I didn't depend on proprietary applications... but that's not the case for me.

Basically, I'm just trying to figure out the least shit way to get a functional up-to-date non-spyware version of Windows running.

please kill yourself, i mean really actually do it please

I'm good, thanks.

Short answer: No
Long answer N O N O N O

Your only option is windows 7 or 8.1.
You can try running your proprietary software using playonlinux, application support is pretty good now. If it depends on dx11 or 12 you're fucked.

speaking of 7, does anyone have the list of windows 7 telemetry updates to remove

What seems to be the problem, officer?

what about gnu/linux?

So many brain dead morons think that Microsoft/The government has the time or resources to spy on everyone.

Either ways they should give you the option to disable telemetry or modify any major system settings... not force you to use the OS they way they want you too.

they want to be like apple

No. You can set the telemetry to Security, but that doesn't even disable it entirely.

GNU is not free

try Linux

>I would use GNU/Linux if I didn't depend on proprietary applications... but that's not the case for me.
A lot of Windows programs run fine under Wine, and some of the latest commercial software does come in a Linux version. Failing that, you could run a Windows VM.

>GNU is not free
Yes it is.

>try Linux
There's very few Linux distros that don't use or depend on GNU.

they might use GNU but the distributions that call themselves GNU explicitly (and often call other distributions that too) tend to be pretty restrictive

though in a different way that windows is restrictive

debian, parabola, and gnewsense are pretty big offenders here

Yes. It's called Windows Server 2016.

> be disabled
> implying they will ever let that happen.

It is - install Linux.

>Can the fucking spying/telemetry bullshit be permanently disabled yet on Windows 10?
Yes. Just set up your computer without an Internet connection and Microsoft will not be able to spy on you.

What is Van Eck Phreaking?

Shit that isn't used in Windows 10, or anything else for that matter.
>muh top secret exploits stealing my information
Just have a fucking Linux machine that runs your web browser and have an offline Windows machine for games or whatever the fuck. There's no way your Linux device is going to siphon out information from the Windows box.

Yeah, you can disable it by formatting your hard drive and installing a better OS

Yes.
It's called stay offline.

from google, so take this with a grain of salt:

Do you know how many fucking PCs I'd have to redo?

Yeah, disconnect your machine from the interbutts, problem solved.

>secureboot
My motherboard has this. It hasnt given me any issues.
>drop windows 7 support
why do you people fall for this meme? Just because they dont "support" it doesnt mean it wont work.

Is Windows Server actually viable as a desktop OS or are you just meming?

Anyone actually try this?

It can be disabled via group policy.

Open up the Group Policy Editor by launching gpedit.msc as an administrator. Go through Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Data Collection and Preview Builds. Double click Telemetry, hit Disabled, then apply

Just pirate W10 enterprise and disable telemetry.

Like 90% of the FUD surrounds telemetry even though it's entirely optional and serves to cut down on the fuckton of redundant logging solutions that developers used.

/Thread

surveillance is not a bad thing

...

...

wtf is that?

Every fucking thread.
No.
In fact, why not assume every single piece of software is malicious? If you can't see the code, then you can't know for sure. Even then, can you trust those running repositories? What's stopping them from adding in a few lines? Your pursuit is an even shittier one, since Windows is inherently a closed platform. Not even the developers themselves know how it works.

its a prison

>how do I disable spying?

>I got you familia
>just download this installer
>click on a few bars and done, no botnet
Hilarious.

Really surprised at the amount of people that still are putting up with Microsoft's bullshit after the shitfest that is Windows 10. Being public about mining data should have been an instant red flag to switch to another operating system. Seeing people panic over their updates, downloading placebo anti telemetry software, and just giving up embracing the botnet is pretty bad. I don't play much vidya anymore aside from emulation, so I went ahead and tried ganoo slash leenoox. It was frustrating at first since I've been desensitized to M$, but I ended up loving it. Windows is fucking garbage, holy shit everything is better here. If anything you can go even further beyond and make a Windows KVM so that it can live on the corner of your drive. You would keep the nice OS that is ganoo slash leenoox and have your gaymes and other software on M$ as well.

muh Panopticon

Irrelevant.
>Slap ferrites onto DVI cable
>????????

Why couldn't you just root delete telementry and disable uptades (delete everyhing related to updates also)

I booted to ubuntu and did this

>ITT: People who forgot what a firewall is for.

Windows 7 if it's Windows exclusive, OSX otherwise.

If it can be run in wine, Linux.

This is not hard, faggot.

>hurr durr privacy doesn't matter as long as they're only spying on a large minority of people, my gay porn searches won't trigger any NSA keywords

?

>If it can be run in wine, Linux.
WINE for OSX.
There are other options.
