Just do these 9000 things to turn them off" nty, ill just install linux which will probably take less time. (Trisquel takes <15 minutes to install off a USB btw) Microsoft is an entity of the US Gov. Enough said. |

Quoting: NODOOM Personally I have not used MS for many years. They need exposing publicly for this, not just on a forum, Time people in the general populous got to know just what is really going on. Like who , voters for Hilary ? WTF has my comment got to do with Hillary? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69176582 Worse than that this all shows M$ to literally have DAnconia Coppered themselves This hardcoding IP shit is sub 80 IQ type work.

It takes 60 seconds. Honestly unless you are downloading child porn or planning terrorist attacks nothing will happen. They are just catching up to what android and apple have been doing for a few years now... tracking you so they can make money off you for ad purposes. You think your phone doesn't know what you're doing? It took me longer to disable all the bloatware on my S4 by disabling it all one by one.

I've long enjoyed Linux and am only using windows now because I'm tired of trying to be a fucking programmer every time I want to play a non-linux video game. Yeah, I usually figure it out after a few hours but damn! That said I am in love with conky and really miss having it give me data in real time on anything I want on a transparent window. |

Interestingly, if Cortana is enabled, the voice is first transcribed to text, then the transcription is sent to: pre.footprintpredict.com reports.wes.df.telemetry.microsoft.com df.telemetry.microsoft.com While the inital reflex may be to block all of the above servers via HOSTS, it turns out this won't work: Microsoft has taken the care to hardcode certain IPs, meaning that there is no DNS lookup and no HOSTS consultation. However, if the above servers are blocked via HOSTS, Windows will pretend to be crippled by continuously throwing errors, while still maintaining data collection in the background. Other than an increase in errors, HOSTS blocking did not affect the volume, frequency, or rate of data being transmitted.
