you're looking at a linux flavor
Most have made a deal with amazon so thats dead.
And even running Linux, your only as secure as your router.
They love anycast, multicast and unicast............... filter filter filter.
I love my old XP machine, with my router as it is the DOD hits it all the time.
And then if you get too close, the big hand of the www (Al Gore?) slaps you like lightening and poof, your pc self resets to oem default everything.
The internet sucks, it was not designed or meant for use like this here but its a goldmine.
STOP POTATO HATE!

Its more about data gathering/personal info/national security.
Why do people think windows 10 was pushed for free.
Windows 7 is better, your old commodore 64 was best for privacy.
If anyone here thinks the usa is less intrusive the china is at monitoring citizens I got 10,000 acres in the snow filled mountains of Florida for ya.
Your worst enemy is siting right next to you, your router. What did wifi start as, what was it based on?
For convince we give up EVERYTHING. Only god might know more about us then our own gov.
We see in the news, Russia this China that...... An attack was tried on this gov. pc ect...... well its the media feeding the sheep to keep people afraid of the dark.
The most intrusive aspects of our PC is our own people, so much traffic running in the background. Get smart and learn to block it, think smarter then they do. They look for the saps to hack.
I pay for the lowest speed internet by my isp, but im faster then my neighbors who pays for the fastest.
Then you got your isp, allowing a certain amount of your bandwidth to be eaten up because they get paid as well.
Ive ran wifi over six mile on a 2 watt router.
None of this is done for us, the individual, we are just turds in the bowl.
Oh yea.... not alot of sniffing on my pc today..... go figure, those pesky Russians, call the FBI...... NOT....they prob everyone.
How do all these municipalities get nailed for ransomware, because they trust there traffic to go through all the universities servers. Why do people get nailed for ransom ware? Because they are stupid.
They all think dark fiber and the internet 2 is safe, but look it was a flippin 17 year old NERD on Florida that hacked all the big twitter accounts because the twit reps were saps and got suckered. One person asking 3-10 questions is a red flag, one nice person asking a friendly questions, gets a courteous reply. The biggest problem in personal PC security is there are people in the loop.
Oh yea... them dam Russians, it never stops day or night, from russia, china , the kid next door.
Most who use encrypted wifi should at least run a secondary router you can program and control.
Your pc and router and internet connection is like the dirty tramp at the bar at 3am and your the last one and she calls you John. You cant protect yourself enough.
Show us your tinfoil suit !!

Why not just build your own computer and load the operating system you want? Because I will want it to work afterwards? I know just about enough to really screw it up big time! A guy has to know his limitations. One of my limitations is "Gene shall not build his own computer or the end result will be a huge pile of smoking dung." I have past experience! Gene

I upgraded to Windows 10 based on a message I saw here about the free way to download it via Microsoft. I noticed a few differences, but for my home PC I quickly got used to them and never found anything intrusive or annoying. The time required to download and install updates depends on connection speed, network settings, and the size of the update the installation remains stuck at the same percentage, what to do?

It seems to me alone that Windows 7 is so outdated that it is almost impossible to use it? In addition, you need to constantly look for activation keys that you will simply need. In addition, after the release of Windows 11, many will forget even about version 10. An excellent adaptive menu, an incredibly beautiful, smart interface and cool management will displace absolutely all of their colleagues and eventually bring them to the absolute top of Windows 11, I am almost completely sure of this. So take a good device and install the latest Windows, you will definitely not regret it!

A friend was using 7 until a week ago with no problems until his computer died. He bought a new one with 10, but it was not because his old computer was slow or clunky.

Barney is a bot, but I was laptop shopping last week and most of them are coming pre-loaded with windows 11 now. You 7 diehards are gonna go from a model A to a model S lol
