Proprietory software must be consigned to the bin. Mass data gathering, but nobody reads the EULA upon installation. If your happy with that, then good luck with surrending your freedom. Same goes for google / apple devices. Root your phone, stick to open source applications. Better still buy Linux phone based upon Debian Kernel.

@@johnbell1810 software has always been on that fine line between patented technology and copyrighted written word, and has never been identified legally as a service. Thus just like any book (copyright) or vehicle (patent), when I buy software, I own it. True I do not own the right to reproduce, redistribute, or recreate said software just like a book or patented technology, but just like that book or patented technology, once I buy and own it, I am free to do whatever I want with my copy of it, it is mine. If I want to nuke the sector of windows that gathers information, that is fully my right, EULA be damned. I also have the right to install whatever I want to my computer, even if it has Windows on it, or write my own code or script, it's very dangerous to let software companies determine what you can and can't have on YOUR computer. This whole idea that software is a service that we don't own and must pay again and again for is just what the corporations have done a very successful propaganda campaign convincing you of, it's not real.
Another sneaky thing that developers have turned to is removing the 'No' button in many situations. You used to be asked 'would you like to do X' and you would answer yes or no but now your choice is usually Yes, or Not now. Is that really a choice then?
When Windows 10 was first released not only would it do this, but also it eventually reached the point where it just attempted to brute force a download like malware.
The problem is that foreign hackers are now a consortium; and if one has to trust someone; then MS is it; I keep my life separated. MS owns the system, Google runs "most" of my software. Ironically I consider most of this a necessary evil in today's world. Protected Folder access, too; which most people don't use...sadly. It's not your ideal world anymore. Too many players. I understand the concern; yes, there is some; but. sure, just buy a machine that doesn't care; and leave the one's with all the protection alone. But, who doesn't want their cake, and eat only the icing, without the cake. Yes, this will become more prevalent, iff you want secure code that can't be hacked. Otherwise; there are plenty of machines that will do what you need. As a security guy, and a coder; I'm always asking the question: What does the regular guy do to fix this "issue I'm having"; and the answer is... lately nothing. The machine, more and more; fixes itself when it detects an intrusion. Pick sides; for now.. but, beware as he says; who you're getting in bed with. Plenty of disease out there.. be open, or be closed. Now you have a choice. Trust or not to trust. Wouldn't be the first time MS gets slammed by the community; IF they get out of line. Netscape. Gone but not forgotten. - Mozilla lives. Linux is great if you've got security, OS and coding background. But, the regular Joe; just needs to trust "someone". You're only one guy... and a few others like you.. I was one, once; but, now... I'm old. 67 yrs old, and older by the minute. Give me a break. Most of this stuff makes it so one guy *can* do more; without fighting the system. But, I'm retired.

The most reassuring message I have ever received from Windows is that all the recent updates it says, "This system does not meet the minimal requirements for Windows 11"
Which means you need to upgrade your hardware before October 2025 or else Windows 10 will popup an annoying reminder every hour or so telling you that you're using an obsolete operating system. That is if they don't find a way to get permission to make your PC unbootable, which is likely what will happen by the time Windows 11 reaches the end of it's life
It's crazy that Microsoft isn't getting sued for monopolistic behavior. It's also sad that these companies keep pushing the boundaries on what is monopolistic.
Abolish intellectual property wholesale. I don't think government regulation can keep up with technological advancement. It's evolving too quickly for companies to be allowed to have it.
Who is going to sue Microsoft? The US government can't reign in any of the tech giants, and it would be prohibitively expensive to try. They just don't have the legal resources Microsoft could present. They have hundreds of highly paid corporate shills in their legal department and billions to spend if necessary. You've heard of "too big to fail?" Well, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Facebook have become too big to sue or control. Their lobbying machine keeps their Congressional shills well funded. 1984 was 40 years ago. We're way past that now.
People always assume that government regulation is written for a by regular people. It's not. It's normally created by the very people and entities we're supposed to be protected from to include the Sherman Act and the Federal Reserve Act.
I'm a new programmer and after six months of learning Python, I realize that anything I write and try to share (the software I created) is marked as a "Computer Virus" by Microsoft and Google. My friends seem to think that this is their way of holding a monopoly on software. They want me to dish out money to them, to have my software reviewed and "signed" in order for me to give it to anyone. Isn't that extortion?! It sounds like freaking extortion to me! "If you want your business you have to pay for protection."

@harleyme3163 you really are just a Linux fanboy huh? I've seen you post on several other comments. Linux is in no way ready for the general user to try to use. You may like tinkering, and I like tinkering, but the general public expects the computer to just work and Linux is sadly not that yet. Believe me I want Linux to be better and be a viable alternative but it simply isn't at this time.
@@kolbyadams9979there's a reason that "this will be the year of the Linux desktop" has been a meme for decades. I'm going to sound terribly elitist but I'm glad Linux doesn't have much market share as I'm sure someone would find a way to ruin it
This reminds me of how furious I was when I first found out I’m not “allowed” to disable windows security. Specifically the built in anti virus suite Microsoft uses. I wanted to turn it off because I found large amount of MY RAM using it in a process that is locked off from disabling or terminating. I could have put in a 3rd party anti virus program to switch it off but that’s not my point. Why I’m pissed is that this is another way that shows we don’t own our own property. Ownership is becoming an illusion and that’s some dystopian conspiracy theory talk some say but I don’t like it.
I mean.... Switch to Linux, and suddenly you're in control again. Only that when people switch, many realize the didn't want control in the first place.
And the updates were normally not able to turn off. Super annoying shit. To add to that dystopian shit, Game companies also control what you have on your pc. It's literally in their TOS like Amazon games and some chinese games that you can't have x programs on your pc to run their games. Aside from their purposely vague TOS. And the problem with this is that game companies CHANGE their TOS after people are playing their games, trapping you into accepting it again or waste your time and money. There is 0 customer respect. And people are so stupid that they defend these companies. I've been attacked for pointing it out. We are heading for dark times. Of the likes movies were made of.
@@tralphstreet a lot of modern PCs built for Windows can't run Linux correctly because stable drivers don't exist. It's just a matter of fact many Linux users forget when they do the whole "just run Linux"
As someone who repairs computers daily as well, this is what's happening with big tech. Everything is going cloud-based and subscription-based. It's going in the direction of people not owning their devices but rather owning an unrepairable paperweight when it breaks. Each time that big tech makes a step, it's coming closer to a world where we have no control over our own devices that we use daily.
Excellent point. Now consider that electric vehicles have the precise same thing going on in much the same way in terms of their computers, operating systems, and software, and it is easy to extrapolate that the push for society to widely adopt electric vehicles can feasibly result in a situation where private corporations or the government can literally control when, where, and how far you can physically travel.
You could not have sounded the alarm bell more succinctly! I am a Sr. Software Architect, a programmer for over 45 years and I have been fighting the same fight but with Microsoft.

@@JLawL I've tried disabling that numerous times and it basically ignores that I have it disabled and still asks me to login in everytime I reboot my PC. So, that's debatable.
Both home and especially pro have ways around that. Buy Pro, you don't need an ms account. It still has that "i don't have internet" link during install. Of if you get home, google it. you can disable the ms account requirement during install.
"Linux users must ask Microsoft to run Linux"... Even though the computers are not manufactured by Microsoft. That's anti-competitive, anti-trust, and should be brought to your legislator or a federal court.
Actually, that behavior is pro-trust. By making computer manufacturers only load windows keys it prevents that hardware from being used to construct computers that run on other OS'. So, owners are forced to buy Microsoft products. There is even an attempt to make windows not run non windows applications. Meaning most PC games not made by Microsoft will not play on a Windows OS. This also applies to other applications such as those used by businesses. Same applies to Mac computers. That is why if your buying hardware in the intent to build a Mac computer you have to buy parts specifically made for Mac pcs. Normally this would trigger the Federal government to intervene through the antitrust act and force companies to split up. They did this to the phone companies back in the 1980s because they owned most if not all of the landlines in the USA. That is when companies like Verizon and many others were created. That hasn't happened for computer OS platforms. Probably because the US government is dependent on it as well. So, Microsoft has the feds by the balls as well.
@@JodyBruchon Also is used to describe companies attempting to gain a monopoly which Microsoft dictating what keys go onto a piece of hardware it ensures that they have control over what OS is bought and used on that hardware. Microsoft did get in trouble once before for such acts. It involved schools I believe.
Indeed. Horse lovers also filed a complaint against car companies not supporting horses at car shops. Until people realized that there are still stables. Would be like framing Apple for not supporting Windows or Linux. Even Microsoft Cloud supports Linux.

You touched upon something I've been saying for years. Kids today are getting too comfortable with the idea of renting things that historically you owned. most of the under 25's I know have only ever lease the cars they drive rather than owning one themselves. Some lease their computers and TV's. When I question this they say "It's easier than buying one because if it breaks it's replaced". They don't seem to WANT to understand that when times get hard, your company lets you go, and money's tight, something's got to give, and things like a car and a PC make finding another job so much easier than trying to use public transport and hunting/replying to job adverts on a smartphone. Having a car means you can widen your job search to neighbouring towns/cities, and jobs with unsociable hours where public transport wouldn't be an option. Job hunting is far more efficient on a computer (Opposed to a smartphone) because you can easily save info, compile a resume, print out letters, etc. There's also the big brother "Thought police" concept to worry about. If you share ideas online that the ruling powers don't like, they can try to mess with your life as a kind of punishment. In todays world they can get you de-platformed. But that doesn't stop you re-registering everywhere under a different name and carrying on being a thorn in their side regardless. On the other hand, if you rent everything, they could cause ultimate damage to your life just by having a word with your banks and asking them to close your accounts. Without a bank account you can't get paid from work, and you can't pay for ANYTHING. You'll end up kicked out of your rented home, with your leased car/rented PC repossessed, and your moble phone disconnected......... This seems a pretty complete way to silence someone who's saying things the controlling class don't want being talked about.
@@fhucko It's such a short sighted outlook and it's exactly why we are where we are and why the average person gets manipulated by so many systems in place designed to manipulate them most efficiently
This sort of thing has been going on for years. Even Tesla have the ability to stop any individual car from using their fast charging system. They did exactly this to a guy who repaired a Tesla that had suffered minor flood damage. They refused to repair it, refused to supply him parts to repair it (so he bought elsewhere) and then switched off access to the charging system, which he only discovered miles away from home while on holiday.
Car manufacturers are thinking about implementing a subscription service for features. As an example it will be easier for them to put heated seats in all models instead of making multiple trim levels. If you want that feature, you pay a monthly or yearly subscription.
Fellow repair tech, here... 25+ years experience. There were people sounding the alarm about "Trusted Computing" 15-20 years ago.. They warned of the exact shit we're seeing right now. Also..."Windows as a Service". This is a problem. You're not buying product anymore, you're buying a subscription to a service... I don't think i hafta explain why THAT'S a problem.
Trusted Computing IS great, provided that it is OPT-IN and separate isolated enclave and you have option to do other stuff in isolated sandbox. Case is: you don't.
@@piotrd.4850 Ok, you make a fair point, and i suppose i should have mentioned something along these lines, in my post... having the ability to run your stuff totally locked down, is GREAT from a security perspective, and i'm a big fan of system security. But as you say, it's the lack of an option, that is an issue. This has ALWAYS been the problem with Trusted Computing...the end goal of it has ALWAYS been to force users to operate in a locked down state, with corporations telling us what we can and can't do with the hardware we bought... The end goal has always been to strip us of our rights as the owners of the hardware, and hell, even strip us of proper ownership altogether. I think this is the reason there's such a huge push for mobile computing by Microsoft. Mobile computing relies heavily on the cloud for secure storage, among other things. This is really only a degree or two separated from cloud computing...which is what i think they really want. replace all home PC equipment with low-end thin clients, and all the heavy lifting is done off site. Of course, internet infrastructure is nowhere NEAR ready for that yet, so it'll still be a while before they strip us entirely of hardware ownership...but in the meantime, they're going to make it as painful as possible.
Doesn't surprise me at all, I've seen videos where 'unnamed overseers' are attempting to adapt people into using everything "as a service" and providing what they (nominally) own as a service. Example: in their eyes, you don't need to fully own your house, it can be rented by others as a space to do...whatever. You don't go shopping for groceries, you pay for a service to bring them and possibly cook the meals out of them for you. Don't own a 'living space'? Go rent someone else's living space to sleep in for the night. It's a dystopian nightmare concept that is being advertised in broad daylight.
@@Bob.Roberts I mean, i kinda get what you're saying, but i was mostly talking in terms of the "digital space". Like take the game "Destiny" for example... You buy a physical copy of it, install it on your console, you play it.. But guess what... it's a "game as a service", because it requires you to be connected to Bungie's Destiny servers to play.. there's no offline mode, despite the presence of a single-player campaign. What happens when Bungie decides to shut down the servers? Without an offline patch, the game will become unplayable. So ALL of the money you paid for the game, and it's expansion packs, will essentially have been wasted, because you can no longer make use of any of what you spent it on.
Yes, "trusted computing" is not about protecting the user. It's about protecting corporations. It's not just software and hardware vendors that like this. Banks and other financial institutions. Governments are also big proponents.
there are a lot of things i made the decision to forgo instead of my freedom and peace of mind- windows 10, anything with an eula or tos, as well as things harder to go without in modern society. if we don't come together to say a big FU-Q collectively, these power hungry babies are going to claim our souls like the chinese communist scum already has
Many PC pro's saw this coming for years. Bit by bit microshaft showed that they didn't trust PC owners to make decisions about their own PC taking away their own PC management. Getting into your BIOS has been getting harder and harder since Windows 7 and numerous customizations and enhancements were hidden or gotten rid of because it was deemed no longer necessary to allow PC owners control of their own PC and settings. Then came the removal of the choice if we wish to update no matter how big or small and finding out for years microshaft has been forcing secret updates regardless of your settings.

I own a printing business with tens of thousands of print layouts in inDesign files. For many years I bought multiple hard copies of inDesign and photoshop every time new ones were released, but I saw right away that CC was a liability so I stopped at CS6. Not long ago, I needed to install an old copy of inDesign CS3 and found that adobe would no longer activate it, they turned the servers off. I literally have a cupboard full of physical software that I own, that they won't let me use. That night I went and got pirated copies of inDesign CS6 and photoshop. Despite already owning them, pirated versions are the only way I can be sure of accessing what I paid for in the future.
nope you are wrong, you have a cupboard full of software you aquired the license to use, you never owned any of it, a lot of software companys get sued by the EU for that since that is illegal in the EU, if you buy it you own it (at least in the EU per law) but that's usually not the case with software, you simply buy a license to use it, the company that owns the rights to said software can revoke your license at any time (ban you from using it/ shut down the authentification servers)
Remember when I was at MS conference in 2008 where Ballmer said, "Our goal is to change our PC to terminals connected to the Internet. We want all users to boot their workstations from the Internet but at the moment we can't do that since more than 50% of Internet user has a low-speed Internet. This is the problem which we have to solve first". Then he praised the possibilities of this solution like: Secured software allowed to use; secured user data in MS DC; fast restore of whole Workstation; run your workstation on any HW; no security leaks 😁😁

@@RAiNfORAiNbOW No. Competition is dead. In most industries, it doesn't really exist. What you have is an endless array of monopolies, duopolies, and oligopolies. Capitalism failed, and natural monopolies killed it. Without solid antitrust enforcement, megacorporations were able to consume the vast majority of most markets - leaving most segments effectively uncontested/uncompetitive. Desktop computer operating systems is one of the industries where competition is dead, and there's a lot of lock-in. You have Windows, with a majority of the market share; you have Mac OS X, with most of the remaining market share; and you have GNU/Linux [of all flavours], with only a couple percent market share overall. BSD and others don't really even register on the scale. The problem is, since basically all consumer software has been developed for Windows for decades (and to a lesser extent Mac), any competitor OS would take many decades to become a viable alternative - even with unlimited funding. The GNU/Linux ecosystem is a viable alternative now, but only because countless people worked for countless hours for free over the course of decades to get it to that point - it might as well have had an unlimited budget, as far as labour was concerned. However, marketshare is still lagging, because they don't have an advertising budget and you have to overcome a lot of inertia to get people to switch. For a competitor company to be practically able to provide you that freedom, they would have to rely on the GNU/Linux ecosystem - developing a new OS and all the software for it (to make it viable) is simply too expensive, too hard, and too time-consuming for anyone but the most massive of corporations. Problem is, using GNU/Linux limits your audience/market to the sorts of people who are willing to run it. This means any competitor company (eg: System76, Purism, Star Labs, Slimbook, Entroware, etc) will necessarily be small... so small, in fact, that most of them don't even manufacture their own hardware - instead relying on whitelabel vendors like Clevo. Apple or Microsoft could EASILY purchase/takeover all vendors of Linux laptops/desktops and kill off the market segment entirely. If they begin feeling threatened, they WILL do this. Sorry for rambling, but my point is this: we cannot rely on natural market dynamics, or competition, to save us. Now, think about this: This is a symptom of a much larger problem. Around the world, our freedoms are dying - megacorporations are seizing more and more power/control over everything, and no one is stopping them. In some places, for example Mexico, bypassing electronic locks to repair or modify your own stuff (eg: spoofing a serial to replace a phone screen, rooting your phone, or bypassing Secure Boot to install another operating system) has even been made ILLEGAL and can result in a PRISON SENTENCE. Why? Because corporations wanted it that way to maximize their profits, and bribed politicians to pass the legislation; now if an independent repair shop fixes your vendor-locked phone, laptop, PC, or even household appliances for you at a lower price and the manufacturer finds out, said manufacturer can have them thrown in prison instead of having to compete on repair services. Some corporations have become so powerful that they bend governments and regulators to their will on a daily basis. This is very dangerous; do you know how corporations are run? In the case of private corporations, autocratically; in the case of public corporations, oligarchically. This means that, in effect, we are ruled more and more by autocratic and oligarchic structures the people have little to no power over - and not by democratic governments. We are to the point where militaries cannot even repair much of their own equipment... where they are totally dependent on the manufacturer to keep their hardware operational. Manufacturers may even have kill switches in military hardware, allowing them the final say over what happens even in wartime. The people must force our governments to break up ALL the megacorporations, just like was done with Standard Oil. Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet/Google, GE, Samsung, Amazon, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Meta/Facebook, Berkshire Hathaway, JPMorgan Chase, Johnson & Johnson, among countless others - every single one must be broken up. No one should be "too big to fail". That will restore competition and is a step towards saving democracy. We must ensure it is done, and so much more. Otherwise, Orwell's vision of a boot stomping on a human face, forever, is about to become our reality - as corporations replace governments, and the rich bring us closer and closer to being their chattel slaves once again. Wage slavery is already becoming more and more like being owned... your employer can even fire you for things you say outside of work. Our freedoms are dying, freedom of speech included. Microsoft's actions here are but a tiny, tiny piece of a much, _much_ larger picture. A picture of huge corporations seizing total control over society for the sole benefit of the rich - to everyone else's detriment.

Never apologize for speaking slowly unless your intention is to confuse with double-speak. Politicians have perfected that. Thoughtful speech allows listeners to process ideas before asking them to accept your speach as truth
@@LordsofMedia From my experience, it's often a Southern thing. When people type out letters as a phonetic reference to how they speak them, speech becomes speach. Another factor is that people with highly linear minds (such as programmers or people who follow more closely with linear thought patterns and have less education in linguistics, which most linear thinkers don't have a strong interest in) will learn the word 'speak' and naturally insert the spelling as 'speach' instead of the common spelling. As a side note, from a linguist, until the creation of the Oxford Dictionary, both spellings were commonly used.

B) Being logged into my active steam account. This also means: A) If & when I complete Fallout New Vegas I can't sell MY own property 2nd hand to make some money back from MY purchase. B) If for any reason steam wants to pull Fallout New Vegas from their store, close my account or go's bust shuts up shop I will loose access to MY property.

this guy spoke my language for exactly 18 minutes and 56 seconds. why cant more people see things this way? why do the masses not care. we are losing our freedoms in every aspect of our lives.
Now you know how things like the Holocaust happened. The masses are ignorant morons and always have been. They never see what is about to happen to them.
its sad, our population is like far gone brainwashed, literally ppl voting for the democrat party the party that fought and lost the civil war, the party that fought to keep slavery and enslave the masses. Why would anyone associate with that lmao. Id never vote for the slave master party, and now guess what, those that voted in democrat party are the ones that are mentally enslaved and those are the ppl that will defend this subscription bs and they agree with all corruption of their leaders. These ppl are beyond brainwashed, its so sad to see ppl that cant think freely. Not saying the republican party is the best in the world, but they are the party that was created solely to end slavery and defeat the democrats in the civil war. The north is republicans and the south is democrat racist slave owners
The population has been, and is currently being controlled with the digital toys and the content, the social sites and their soul-draining games and adverts.
It is true, but they don't care because they are poorly informed, they are not visionaries, they don't care what the impact is of Microsoft dominance is. Microsoft and NVIDIA are two of the most evil companies in the world and putting them together to build powerful AI is an economic global disaster waiting to happen.
I hated the decision of Adobe to jump onto the renting model, too. Interesting how these things are connected. Still trying to avoid new windows versions.
Adobe and virtual dj both released subscription based software in the same year, and that was when i knew we were screwed. I literally have a cd copy of virtual dj that, when installed, prompts me to upgrade to a newer version which is subscription based VS the non subscription install i get on the cd.... Truly baffling
@@enigmalfidelity You could try setting the adobe server IP to 127.0.0.1 on your system. I don't remember the exact file, but the IP is stored on your windows system. When you have changed it your older, bought version will no longer reach the update server and should work as always.
The only time I see "software rental" as moral and legitimate is when you get a "perpetual fallback license" if you stop paying. Jetbrains software is like this. You pay monthly or annually, and as long as you pay you get the latest updates. If you decide to stop paying then you just stop getting updates. This is legitimate imo because Jetbrains doesn't owe you any new updates or features when you stop paying them, but they still owe you the version of the software you paid for up until that point. But Adobe is trash to begin with, but their business practices are equally trash. All they'd need to do in order to be a legitimate company is let you continue using their software at whatever version you had when you stopped paying. No more updates until you pay again.
Then add if you try cancel early you have to pay out the remainder of the plan you signed up for. Adobe is one of the least consumer friendly I've seen.

@@azazeldeath Adobe is embodiment of behemoth :D They admit that they could not fix any of very annoying bugs in their software since 90s because the core of their apps is stolen, bought or just very old and not possible adapt for new era. But they are not afraid to ask for monthly fee for a buggy software which is basically same as CS6 from 2012 with few new features... And if there is something new and better on market they will buy it or sue the company with stupid patents.
Igor, ugh yah to Adobe and lawsuits or buying up other software. It's so annoying. The catch is that Adobe is REALLY good with integrated software. I have yet to find any other programs you can design a vector graphic in and import into a page layout program that DOESN'T drastically alter the graphics from the vector. Adobe is the only one. I much prefer Inkscape, Gimp and Scribus...sure mostly because they are free. But, also because they are all REALLY GOOD at what they do.. But ugh the graphics thing is the pits. Export from Inkscape changes the graphics.. Then importing it into Scribus changes it even more.
I'm sure this is why some people pirated Adobe's products before. o.o

@@OgdenM As for vector graphics Corel Draw is better choice. They still offer classic license. Corel Draw is really better for vector in any way or i just did not find any functionality which is missing. In Slovakia and Czech it is industry standard for everything. Maybe for some user is GUI less familiar to those from Adobe but for me it is matter of habit. Illustrator has many quirky habits. Just color picker is pure mess. As for other products - Photoshop is beast. There is just one viable alternative - Affinity Photo. For less advanced user it is enough. For others there is plenty choices - Krita, GIMP... For video editing Rush and Premiere is just joke. Not really well optimized and not stable at all. Just piece of crap. Da Vinchi or Final Cut is the way to go. Problem is After Effects. Nuke is really pricey. Da Vinchi Studio is not there. Blender can do few staff but it is not layer based compositor. So we are stucked with slow and not well optimized industry standard.... But hey, you are right, Adobe can offer few good software as package cause they can buy any startup at begining. They had a plenty time to make Adobe Suite more cooperative with their portfolio. But it is not really true that it works all time without any glitch. There is plenty use cases when something just goes wrongly.
It is indeed a question of sovereignty. While Microsoft may own the OS, the buyer of the PC owns the hardware, but it is not just PC's. Some Tablet producers act as if the owner is a mere bystander. They update the system and add apps that are not necessarily wanted in with the operating system and that cannot be removed! This bloats limited space and slows down the system.

Speaking of using limited resources, out where I live I *HAVE* to use a hot-spot type cellular connection to access the internet with my desktop. I get roughly 246 KB/s download/upload speed. Guess what stock program in Windows 10 wants to always communicate with the internet and tie up all my available bandwidth? *Cortana.* I tried going through the whole checklist of ways to disable or shut off Cortana I could find and I saw it was still using bandwidth using my task manager. I eventually said F&%$ it, and told my antivirus to just firewall "Search" and haven't had an issue with it since. I've had to firewall so many basic functions of my PC that I don't use because I cant just get rid of them, just to have a decent enough connection to do anything online. I tried satellite, but only one company serves out this far in the woods, and they only have one satellite in this area that we could sync up to. That connection was intermittent due to the only spot they could put the dish had to look through a gap in the trees. A gap that opened and closed due to wind. Cable was looked into, but nobody will run a line out this far. Last option was to use the cell network, and because this hotspot is last generation, it only gets 4G and 1-2 bars at that. With how much is firewalled, (yes I let critical updates and security updates come through,) I can play online games like Starcraft 2, Space Engineers, Satisfactory, etc. Along with Discord running and in a chat room. All while fluctuating between 34 KB/s to 246 KB/s. 406 KB/s on a blue moon. But hey, silver lining. At least some of the early-access games I play I can give them a heads up on how well their multiplayer networking is optimized.
Just came across this and it begins to resonate. My faithful Acer of 10 years with Windows 7 pro gave up the ghost and was replaced with Windows 11 on May 1st, 2023 (Mayday, mayday!) and that began a month-and-a-half struggle to maintain my preferences from Microsoft's prying updates. Repeatedly, Windows 11 returned the OS to defaulting to their options rather than software _I chose_ to perform tasks. (Example: Snag-It's *Print Screen* activation was re-pointed to the piece of crap snipping app. Reading pdf docs was "re-defaulted" to a de-installed re-installed Edge piece of crap browser!) So that's it! I'm outta the DOS/Windows world I've been part of since I came from my CP/M days in 1980. I'm scrubbing everything, going down to the bare metal and building everything back up in Linux. Microsoft can eat shit and die!
Aye sir, as an XP only owner, I see my future in your comment. If MS ends up dictating what I can and can't do on my personal property and I have no other choice, that's the day I say goodbye to the internet altogether.
I'm right there with you. I've used every flavor of Windows since 1. 10 is my last Windows OS. Just built a new PC and installed Garuda Linux. An Arch flavor. My homelab is going to Linux. (I have a R620 and a R710) one used RHEL the other is getting a hypervisor. Windows sucks.

I can't believe there isn't more outrage about this. Perhaps it's just such a poorly understood concept that people don't care. Where are all the DRM-hating gamers? The pro-privacy Linux elitists? You can't even change your system with this in place. I hope people realize, too, that the days of pulling your hard drive out and accessing the data on it on another computer are over. WHERE is all the outrage?
People are becoming stupider and stupider at a very rapid rate. Our brains simply didn't evolve to stare at screens all day, and fifteen years of widespread smartphone usage has created a world of vapid illiterate apes with heads full of illusions and corporate propaganda. Those of us who still read and think and are "real nerds" are even more a minority than we were in the early 2000s. The most horrifying difference to my mind is that while all this is true, the brainwashed apes all actually think that they are "nerds," and think they are super-intelligent and better-informed than people from earlier eras. Oh, and they have no empathy, imagination, creativity, or basic humanity either. There is no hope for them. Those of us who can think will stop using Microsoft products. The brainwashed apes will not. If there's any hope for all of this, it will come in the next few generations of young people, not from people right now. We are at the worst place human civilization has been in 1,000 years.

I may not understand all the complexities of windows schemes, but I appreciate your efforts in warning us about MicroSoft's plans. I was a hold-out on Win7 and resisted Win10 at every turn. Win7 had every thing I needed. I navigated the prompts very carefully so as not to fall for their blatant tricks but I woke up one morning to “Welcome to Windows 10” anyway.... A good deal of RUclips publishers seek brownie points from MicroSoft but tell us little about what is going into the ass-end of “your computer”. On the part of Linux users, isn't there enough to challenge Microsoft with a class-action sute or when will the Chinese respond with their own OS? now can I go back to my cat videos?
I remember when "My Computer" turned into "This PC" with Windows 8. They were already telling us then that it's not "your computer," it's just this computer, one of many, that they keep tabs on.
@@BRBMrSoul Idk if I buy all the conspiracy stuff but I certainly don't believe a lot of these changes are for the benefit of the user.

They add next to nothing move the shit around a bit and charge you again.
I actually like that change though. I always thought "My Computer" sounded patronising, as if it was a child's toy. Maybe I'm just old (almost a boomer, raised on late 1980s UNIX) but I always thought of words on the screen as being spoken by the machine... so "my computer" made no sense to me, it sounded as if the computer was claiming that it had a computer.
Yes exactly, I recently bought a simple new Windows 11 laptop (not knowing it was gonna me irremovable), and after a month I had enough of it and send it back to the online seller with this complaint. I said; I bought a laptop at your store, but I didn't buy Windows 11 with it and I'm not waiting for a Microsoft account spying on me. Got my money back as a credit for buying another product on the site. But I just won't buy a new laptop or computer anymore like this. It ends with Windows 10 for me and I'm thinking of starting to do everything "old school" again.
I have noticed a disturbing trend. I am seeing a lot of "Improved" products , where the manufacturer's "Improvement" simply makes *their* lives easier, not yours. One of my utilities keeps asking me to pay their bill online, saying that I'll "save the stamp" but then requires that I pay a "Convenience Fee" to pay online. The "Convenience Fee" is 3x's the cost of a stamp. Yes, that's real convenient. Every new OS Microsoft has introduced has traded user control for Microsoft's convenience. What was once my Personal Computer is now their tool to control me and redirect money from my wallet into their bank account. It's no longer a PC it's a TC: Their Computer.

It’s so refreshing to hear someone saying what I’ve been angry about for such a long time. Us older people know what is happening but fighting it is so very difficult. My foil hat is getting worn out, but I have a basement full of foil. Resist!
Same here. You try to pretend that nothing weird is going on, disabling 'features' they add that complicate computer setting up and running, but now they are mandating those 'features', and you can't deny it anymore.
Fighting it is pretty much impossible because so many companies have bought big into Microsoft. The software they rely on runs on Windows (Adobe etc), they use other Microsoft products like Office. So like it or not, you're stuck with machines running Windows, Office, Outlook etc at work and when Microsoft goes and unilaterally alters everything with their new version, the companies roll over like good little puppies and change everything to suit Microsoft - including getting rid of perfectly functional machines that don't fit the new paradigm. The only place we can have a semblance of freedom is on our home machines - provided we don't use any version of Windows. And avoid Apple, as well, since they're on the same path. It's in our best interests to make it clear to manufacturers that there's a market out there for machines that are not locked into one company's OS. Apple build their own gear and Microsoft pressures PC manufacturers to make hardware to suit Microsoft's requirements - UEFI, TPM etc. We need to make sure that manufacturers see there's a market for machines where those Microsoft-mandated hardware changes can be switched off.

This is EXACTLY what we IT professionals have been saying for 2 decades now.

They did it already with Office 365 however there are legitimate alternitive that work far superiorly IMHO, however if Microsoft locks down the TPM With SAS Windows, they can do the same with Office suites. And not allowing competitors ability to be installed.

Windows 7 was the best operating system for privacy, device compatibility, and smoothly ran programs. No bullshit from Windows 7. But there was bullshit from Windows 8, 8.1, 10, or 11. Only universities, colleges, and official businesses get contracts from Microsoft to prevent problems that normal users experience. Microsoft's monopoly on business software has made being a student or worker become this privacy nightmare with neverending bugs and beta mode. These universities, colleges, and official businesses don't care about online privacy rights. They care about money more. It's why these tyrannical government authorities are being able to spy on people more easily. Stupid consumers don't care about their privacy. Which is why these stupid people will continue to get controlled by exclusively wealthy elites with their Orwellian technologies. The only reason why people are using Windows 10 or 11 is because Microsoft has a monopoly on virtual reality video gaming. Apple and Linux don't hold a candle to Windows 10 regarding video gaming graphics. Also, the only reason people use Microsoft 10 is because they are too lazy to use privacy-friendly operating systems like Linux distributions. It's easier to be a lazy consumer letting government authorities spy on you with Windows 10 or 11 rather than gain power and intelligence to fight back.

@AakeTraak Not encouraging you to upgrade or anything, but have you used the same flash drive when doing so? Sometimes the flash corrupts, and to fix it, you would have to re-flash the iso. In that case, it wouldn't work no matter of what computer you're installing it to.
You're from one of the smartest countries in the world why the hell ain't you running linux? I haven't installed that piece of shit in 20 years and for about 10 years now (maybe longer I forget) linux has been been building liveCD.iso files under about every distro out there.
The problem is, I used windows 7 until I was literally forced to install windows 10 because drivers for my video card stopped coming out for windows 7, and I needed new drivers to run new games. Well, some of them. And now turns out that my i7-4790/GTX1650 Super/16 GB DDR3 RAM computer is too obsolete for windows 11.

I am afraid that ppl were not willing to accept the planned BIIIIIIG Win10 update - that would make it look like Windows 11 ....... and the much safer NEW DRIVER MODEL would be impossible to "enforce" and *completely* implement in windows in the 3 years period from now. ALSO it would lead to a LOT and LOTS of confusion AFTER switching to the NEW driver model: ppl would ask: "Why my GPU suddenly is NOT supported etc... while other GPUs are???" ...... With Windows 11 minimal specifications it is EASY!: THERE You have it: TMP 2.0 , GPU with DirectX 12 , etc..... and *simply* put: a CPU from 2018 or newer - so THAT it is still in active support and the manufacturers have their duty to provide and support the NEW WINDOWS DRIVER MODEL - which (BTW) reduces BSODs by 99.6% !

Something else to consider: Be very cautious when software notifications of new "updates" show up. Can't recall how many times I've "updated" a program and suddenly lost functionalities (that were sometimes the only reason for having the software in the first place) in the last couple years.
Firefox browser allows you take screenshots and play videos on mini screen in any tab- The only reason I use it over chrome. The next two updates wiped those two features out.
You mean like when Firefox 'updated' the whole UI without warninh and removed functionality followed by the 'update' that removed Tab groups - 'but it's OK you can add them back via a plug in' followed by the 'update' to remove all plug ins ! ! That's when I left FireChrome and switched to Pale Moon (real Firefox.) Many examples in Windows too. I'm sticking to XP where I do what I want (I have multiple powerful XP boxes + 1 NT7 box which I admit is a good OS.)
My phone has a solution to this: forced updates. If you don't opt into an update it gives you a timer until it automatically installs. If you delay the timer for too long it just installs it anyway. Of course by installing it (and using it) you agree to waive all legal rights...
It's amazing how many don't realize this and it's been going on for years. It all seems so harmless until one day.... Everything is censored including true knowledge and science. And our phones and computers are just interface devices that let us access what they want us to see.
It will get worse, the hint is in this microsoft account with windows 11. And people who are playing on PC/Consoles will have soon this account needed to play their games in their cloud.
No one is restricting knowledge of anything, including science. It's more about leveraging personal information to sell, which quite honestly is done by most of corporate America, unless they document otherwise.

Glad I found your channel Jody. I started with MicroStation and moved to AutoCAD LT when I left my govt sector job around 1997. This was around the time 1st Gen Pentium were become financially available to Joe Citizen. Windows XP and AutoCAD LT worked like a charm on my SCSI based SuperMicro Pentium II. I paid $1700 for the disk, the key and serial no. Renting AutoCAD LT at US$80 per month for a few hours work is a rip off. You waste an an hour or more backwards and forwards with email or SMS codes just verifying you are who you say you are. If that wasn’t painful enough, they introduced and added, very clunky independent authenticator software. I later bought a Dell XPS i7 all in one touch screen with windows 8, which soon forced me to upgrade to windows 10. Same goes with games. I liked soldier of fortune and a couple of other RPG games run from my SCSI CD-RW. I didn’t need Steam. I OWNED the disk and key and had NO problem downloading the rare game patch.
I've worked as a cloud analyst and don't want to move to "as a service" ANYTHING you end up RENTING rather than owning your physical media software. I've put my wife on notice that we will be switching to a LINUX OS once MS forces it's will on us. "You will own nothing and be happy"
@Grace Jackson Lol, she hates all things tech and married a geek. (I think it was for the free IT support). Any new software is a big deal at out house.
This is a concerning topic for me. I really do want to have MY DOCUMENTS and MY DATA all stored on devices that I am in total control of. I despise iCloud. I despise the strictness that the system tries to confine me with to make sure I'm not "pirating" or downloading "unauthorized software." I want to customize my device however I like.
Yep. Feel exactly the same about all of this. I "bought" an Adobe Photoshop CS6 perpetual licence many years ago. I then foolishly, with no intention of getting it, installed a free trial of CC (just to see if I was missing out - I wasn't) and now cannot use CS6 (which would still meet my needs) and I can't get CC (which I consider malware) off my computer. As for Microsoft and Apple. Never forget they're American companies in good standing with their government. Just imagine they were Chinese companies and how we might feel about giving the keys to all our computers to the CCP. Why should we be less concerned about the US govt having them?
YOu have to clean your registry and get rid off any Adobe shared folders in Application DATA folder (hidden). New software uses more intricate licensing shit, and not letting you have older version. I had a problem installing Max2018, until I uninstalled Max 2012. Assholes!
There will be one single place needed to get power over in order to control the entire fleet of digital devices in everywhere including government offices: Microsoft headquarters.

@@mikeb3172 I've used GIMP for many years. The problem now isn't finding something to edit images with. The problem is how to get Adobe CC off my computer. But GIMP is not great. It sort of does most things but is very clunky - like having to click a file name to generate a preview thumbnail - _really_ . I used Zoner 17 for a while and that was great, quick, easy and with the capacity to do some nice global edits. But they moved to a subscription model and at the same time put more focus on their file management module. Software industry - please just bugger off with the file management modules. That's what operating systems are for - I don't need multiple other layers of software 2nd, 3rd, 4th... guessing how I should organise files.
This is in every aspect of any kind of technology. Computers where you now have to pay subscriptions for all your software, electronics you have to replace because you can't buy the $1 component to make a simple repair, cars where you have to pay a monthly fee for use of the heated seats and where they make things intentionally impossible for the end user (ie, OWNER) to repair all the way to corporate giants buying up all the houses making homes extraordinarily expensive if you can even find one to buy. It's out of control and there should be anti-trust lawsuits inundating the courts because of all of this. It is time for revolution.
Another thing I noticed when starting up a pc from the box is that - unless I missed something - it is IMPOSSIBLE to set up windows at all on the PC without internet access. So the choice to use a PC stand alone without internet, is gone; another choice taken away.
It's a tiny word and takes a few confirmations but you can do it without internet, heck you don't even need to have a Microsoft account but that takes command line from foolery if i remember and you have to be careful to not log into anything
Ill never forget backing up my files to Google Drive and upon retrieving them being told some of my files were suspect and they litetally deleted them from my cloud account. That really pissed me off. Back to backing things up the old fashioned way.
Did Google explain to you WHY those files were "suspect"? In any event, if you ever again back up any files to Google Drive, then do yourself a HUGE favor and encrypt them. That way, Google won't be able to snoop around in your Google Drive storage space.
Old school backup until TPM control oversteps and gate keeps your written media too. The era of thought and choice control. The era of protecting us against ourselves. I guess they want us all in diapers licking lollypops like good little children.
As full-time IT guy, I believe Apple and Microsoft want to reach the point where the entire "experience" will be subscription based. OS and all. You can't pay up this month? Tough luck! All your devices are now locked.
As full-time IT guy, you should know that MS offered their last 2 operating systems as a free upgrade if you owned windows 8 (for regular people). How does it fits your theory? Microsoft is making money by selling products to companies, not to regular folks. They are giving more free products to mass so people are getting familiar with them and when company is considering to purchase OS licenses they will more likely select windows because it means no extra cost for training your staff on how to use new OS. This is also why student licenses are quite often free or way cheaper - so people have contact with the software as early as possible as most likely they will continue to use it as professionals.
I really miss win 7, 10 was a downgrade, and 11 is more of a downgrade! Missing things that used to come standard, no real support of DVD and bluray, stupid and annoying default of having to use OneDrive - come on guys, why can't I store things on my computer. Old programs don't run. Everything is being forced to go to subscription programs, the best thing I can say about win 11, is that at least they did not remove the ability you use a mouse that was not made by Microsoft. I have been a Windows user since Version 2.0. Now I feel like MS has made me an enemy, instead of a customer.
The very best version of Windows was Windows 95. Second best was NT4. XP wasn't too bad but Microsoft was already starting to think in terms of owning the computer by that time. Everything since has been crap.
I made my way from beloved C 64, reluctantly over MS-DOS to WIndows XP, which I really miss for all the downfall that came afterwards. And 7 was the last version I could dive in deep and handle myself. I don't own a mobile phone, boycott facebook and twitter, try to avoid clouds and data kraken google and windows, have just switched on my new laptop from Chrome to Firefox, from Outlook to Thunderbird, from Word to Open Office, still learning... Bad expectations, the future looks black.
Why miss it? I still use Win7. Just use a decent antivirus, a secure browser (FFX) and stay away from dicey websites. Disable a number of useless services and updates. Problem solved.
Subscription software is definitely the biggest PC cancer we have today; companies making money all the time while offering pretty much nothing. We've come to the point where you need to pay monthly to use a freakin word processor, something that does the same job for 50 yesrs now. Industry leaders blackmailing you every month for software you may need to buy once in 5-10 years, that' how bloated and slow their development is. People should seriously boycot these schemes, we already are in deep trouble because of them and handing more control to this mafia will make things much worse.
There are freeware, open source versions of almost everything people need if they only take a moment to look. Unfortunately the people most ensnared by these subscription schemes are often the least capable of finding alternatives themselves.
I had to recover a client's personal system and Intuit killed their software license and forced them to buy a new license for the same PC. NEXT, they then claimed their stuff needed a password to open it, when it never had a password. They wanted 200 bucks for that. Trying to blackmail customers like that, is shameless.

Videos and information like this are becoming more and more important as time goes on. Big tech companies are constantly coming up with ways to keep a death grip on all our information and dictating what we can or can not do with our own devices. It's too bad most governments are so behind the times that we don't have more consumer protections in place for electronics and digital products (or in many cases like the US the big tech co's pump so much money into lobbying that politicians just blindly side with them and let them do whatever they want)
“Behind the times?” Who do you think is buying that info? The government technically isn’t allowed to spy on you directly. But after the 70’s it was determined the government could request and buy phone records from phone companies because technically it wasn’t “your data.” This carries over to computer information. The more information they can determines isn’t yours, the less of an expectation of privacy and fourth amendment rights you have.
As a professional software developer for 35 years, I concur with all of your statements and declarations.

Windows 7 was the most user friendly OS I have ever used. Without my permission I was updated to Windows 8 and lost many of my favourite programs. Then one by one "License Agreements" have come into force where I have to purchase the right to use my computer. I was shocked when I bought Office and found out I had paid hundreds of dollars for a program that I then had to licence and would never own. Now even the card games can't be played unless I am online and receiving adverts or I have to pay for the right to play the games without the adverts. I did go to Linux, (Linux Mint 19.1) and ran that for a few years but suddenly it slowed down to a crawl and trying to get peripherals for it was a shambles. We are being treated like cows on a dairy farm, milked at every opportunity. I hate Microsoft and the big tech companies with a vengance, greed and usury on an unprecedented scale.
I had an Win7 laptop, although support ended, they gave one last update which made my pc very slow. How come that they force some people while some don't? I installed Parrot OS GNU/Linux.

Ironically I consider most of this a necessary evil in today's world. Protected Folder access, too; which most people don't use...sadly. It's not your ideal world anymore. Too many players. I understand the concern; yes, there is some; but. sure, just buy a machine that doesn't care; and leave the one's with all the protection alone. But, who doesn't want their cake, and eat only the icing, without the cake. Yes, this will become more prevalent, iff you want secure code that can't be hacked. Otherwise; there are plenty of machines that will do what you need. As a security guy, and a coder; I'm always asking the question: What does the regular guy do to fix this "issue I'm having"; and the answer is... lately nothing. The machine, more and more; fixes itself when it detects an intrusion. Pick sides; for now.. but, beware as he says; who you're getting in bed with. Plenty of disease out there.. be open, or be closed. Now you have a choice. Trust or not to trust. Wouldn't be the first time MS gets slammed by the community; IF they get out of line. Netscape. Gone but not forgotten. - Mozilla lives. Linux is great if you've got security, OS and coding background. But, the regular Joe; just needs to trust "someone".

The most reassuring message I have ever received from Windows is that all the recent updates it says, "This system does not meet the minimal requirements for Windows 11"

Abolish intellectual property wholesale. I don't think government regulation can keep up with technological advancement. It's evolving too quickly for companies to be allowed to have it.
Who is going to sue Microsoft? The US government can't reign in any of the tech giants, and it would be prohibitively expensive to try. They just don't have the legal resources Microsoft could present. They have hundreds of highly paid corporate shills in their legal department and billions to spend if necessary. You've heard of "too big to fail?" Well, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Facebook have become too big to sue or control. Their lobbying machine keeps their Congressional shills well funded. 1984 was 40 years ago. We're way past that now.

This reminds me of how furious I was when I first found out I’m not “allowed” to disable windows security. Specifically the built in anti virus suite Microsoft uses. I wanted to turn it off because I found large amount of MY RAM using it in a process that is locked off from disabling or terminating. I could have put in a 3rd party anti virus program to switch it off but that’s not my point. Why I’m pissed is that this is another way that shows we don’t own our own property. Ownership is becoming an illusion and that’s some dystopian conspiracy theory talk some say but I don’t like it.

As someone who repairs computers daily as well, this is what's happening with big tech. Everything is going cloud-based and subscription-based. It's going in the direction of people not owning their devices but rather owning an unrepairable paperweight when it breaks.

because repairing a computer is so hard...
Excellent point.
Now consider that electric vehicles have the precise same thing going on in much the same way in terms of their computers, operating systems, and software, and it is easy to extrapolate that the push for society to widely adopt electric vehicles can feasibly result in a situation where private corporations or the government can literally control when, where, and how far you can physically travel.

"Linux users must ask Microsoft to run Linux"... Even though the computers are not manufactured by Microsoft. That's anti-competitive, anti-trust, and should be brought to your legislator or a federal court.
microsoft was brought up for violating anti-trust laws in the late 90's but a change in administration meant the case was silently dropped
Actually, that behavior is pro-trust. By making computer manufacturers only load windows keys it prevents that hardware from being used to construct computers that run on other OS'. So, owners are forced to buy Microsoft products. There is even an attempt to make windows not run non windows applications. Meaning most PC games not made by Microsoft will not play on a Windows OS. This also applies to other applications such as those used by businesses. Same applies to Mac computers. That is why if your buying hardware in the intent to build a Mac computer you have to buy parts specifically made for Mac pcs. Normally this would trigger the Federal government to intervene through the antitrust act and force companies to split up. They did this to the phone companies back in the 1980s because they owned most if not all of the landlines in the USA. That is when companies like Verizon and many others were created. That hasn't happened for computer OS platforms. Probably because the US government is dependent on it as well. So, Microsoft has the feds by the balls as well.
A trust in the context of "anti-trust" is a legal formation. It doesn't refer to trust as in trusting someone or something.
@@JodyBruchon Also is used to describe companies attempting to gain a monopoly which Microsoft dictating what keys go onto a piece of hardware it ensures that they have control over what OS is bought and used on that hardware.

Kids today are getting too comfortable with the idea of renting things that historically you owned. most of the under 25's I know have only ever lease the cars they drive rather than owning one themselves. Some lease their computers and TV's. When I question this they say "It's easier than buying one because if it breaks it's replaced". They don't seem to WANT to understand that when times get hard, your company lets you go, and money's tight, something's got to give, and things like a car and a PC make finding another job so much easier than trying to use public transport and hunting/replying to job adverts on a smartphone. Having a car means you can widen your job search to neighbouring towns/cities, and jobs with unsociable hours where public transport wouldn't be an option. Job hunting is far more efficient on a computer (Opposed to a smartphone) because you can easily save info, compile a resume, print out letters, etc.
There's also the big brother "Thought police" concept to worry about. If you share ideas online that the ruling powers don't like, they can try to mess with your life as a kind of punishment. In todays world they can get you de-platformed. But that doesn't stop you re-registering everywhere under a different name and carrying on being a thorn in their side regardless. On the other hand, if you rent everything, they could cause ultimate damage to your life just by having a word with your banks and asking them to close your accounts. Without a bank account you can't get paid from work, and you can't pay for ANYTHING. You'll end up kicked out of your rented home, with your leased car/rented PC repossessed, and your moble phone disconnected......... This seems a pretty complete way to silence someone who's saying things the controlling class don't want being talked about.

This sort of thing has been going on for years. Even Tesla have the ability to stop any individual car from using their fast charging system. They did exactly this to a guy who repaired a Tesla that had suffered minor flood damage. They refused to repair it, refused to supply him parts to repair it (so he bought elsewhere) and then switched off access to the charging system, which he only discovered miles away from home while on holiday.
That’s insane

Fellow repair tech, here... 25+ years experience. There were people sounding the alarm about "Trusted Computing" 15-20 years ago.. They warned of the exact shit we're seeing right now. Also..."Windows as a Service". This is a problem. You're not buying product anymore, you're buying a subscription to a service... I don't think i hafta explain why THAT'S a problem.
Trusted Computing IS great, provided that it is OPT-IN and separate isolated enclave and you have option to do other stuff in isolated sandbox. Case is: you don't.
@@piotrd.4850 Ok, you make a fair point, and i suppose i should have mentioned something along these lines, in my post... having the ability to run your stuff totally locked down, is GREAT from a security perspective, and i'm a big fan of system security.
But as you say, it's the lack of an option, that is an issue. This has ALWAYS been the problem with Trusted Computing...the end goal of it has ALWAYS been to force users to operate in a locked down state, with corporations telling us what we can and can't do with the hardware we bought... The end goal has always been to strip us of our rights as the owners of the hardware, and hell, even strip us of proper ownership altogether.
I think this is the reason there's such a huge push for mobile computing by Microsoft. Mobile computing relies heavily on the cloud for secure storage, among other things. This is really only a degree or two separated from cloud computing...which is what i think they really want. replace all home PC equipment with low-end thin clients, and all the heavy lifting is done off site. Of course, internet infrastructure is nowhere NEAR ready for that yet, so it'll still be a while before they strip us entirely of hardware ownership...but in the meantime, they're going to make it as painful as possible.
Doesn't surprise me at all, I've seen videos where 'unnamed overseers' are attempting to adapt people into using everything "as a service" and providing what they (nominally) own as a service. Example: in their eyes, you don't need to fully own your house, it can be rented by others as a space to do...whatever. You don't go shopping for groceries, you pay for a service to bring them and possibly cook the meals out of them for you. Don't own a 'living space'? Go rent someone else's living space to sleep in for the night. It's a dystopian nightmare concept that is being advertised in broad daylight.
@@Bob.Roberts I mean, i kinda get what you're saying, but i was mostly talking in terms of the "digital space". Like take the game "Destiny" for example... You buy a physical copy of it, install it on your console, you play it.. But guess what... it's a "game as a service", because it requires you to be connected to Bungie's Destiny servers to play.. there's no offline mode, despite the presence of a single-player campaign. What happens when Bungie decides to shut down the servers? Without an offline patch, the game will become unplayable. So ALL of the money you paid for the game, and it's expansion packs, will essentially have been wasted, because you can no longer make use of any of what you spent it on.
@@numberyellow I was merely pointing out a stark, looming parallel.

I own a printing business with tens of thousands of print layouts in inDesign files. For many years I bought multiple hard copies of inDesign and photoshop every time new ones were released, but I saw right away that CC was a liability so I stopped at CS6. Not long ago, I needed to install an old copy of inDesign CS3 and found that adobe would no longer activate it, they turned the servers off.

Despite already owning them, pirated versions are the only way I can be sure of accessing what I paid for in the future.
nope you are wrong, you have a cupboard full of software you aquired the license to use, you never owned any of it, a lot of software companys get sued by the EU for that since that is illegal in the EU, if you buy it you own it (at least in the EU per law) but that's usually not the case with software, you simply buy a license to use it, the company that owns the rights to said software can revoke your license at any time (ban you from using it/ shut down the authentification servers)

If that is so, then wouldnt at some point a competitor company come out which would give you that freedom
@@RAiNfORAiNbOW Apple and Microsoft will make sure they do not last long. Few will make software for the new OS.
@@RAiNfORAiNbOW No. Competition is dead. In most industries, it doesn't really exist. What you have is an endless array of monopolies, duopolies, and oligopolies.
Capitalism failed, and natural monopolies killed it. Without solid antitrust enforcement, megacorporations were able to consume the vast majority of most markets - leaving most segments effectively uncontested/uncompetitive.
Desktop computer operating systems is one of the industries where competition is dead, and there's a lot of lock-in.
You have Windows, with a majority of the market share; you have Mac OS X, with most of the remaining market share; and you have GNU/Linux [of all flavours], with only a couple percent market share overall.
BSD and others don't really even register on the scale.
The problem is, since basically all consumer software has been developed for Windows for decades (and to a lesser extent Mac), any competitor OS would take many decades to become a viable alternative - even with unlimited funding.
The GNU/Linux ecosystem is a viable alternative now, but only because countless people worked for countless hours for free over the course of decades to get it to that point - it might as well have had an unlimited budget, as far as labour was concerned. However, marketshare is still lagging, because they don't have an advertising budget and you have to overcome a lot of inertia to get people to switch.
For a competitor company to be practically able to provide you that freedom, they would have to rely on the GNU/Linux ecosystem - developing a new OS and all the software for it (to make it viable) is simply too expensive, too hard, and too time-consuming for anyone but the most massive of corporations.
Problem is, using GNU/Linux limits your audience/market to the sorts of people who are willing to run it. This means any competitor company (eg: System76, Purism, Star Labs, Slimbook, Entroware, etc) will necessarily be small... so small, in fact, that most of them don't even manufacture their own hardware - instead relying on whitelabel vendors like Clevo.
Apple or Microsoft could EASILY purchase/takeover all vendors of Linux laptops/desktops and kill off the market segment entirely. If they begin feeling threatened, they WILL do this.
Sorry for rambling, but my point is this: we cannot rely on natural market dynamics, or competition, to save us. Now, think about this:
This is a symptom of a much larger problem. Around the world, our freedoms are dying - megacorporations are seizing more and more power/control over everything, and no one is stopping them. In some places, for example Mexico, bypassing electronic locks to repair or modify your own stuff (eg: spoofing a serial to replace a phone screen, rooting your phone, or bypassing Secure Boot to install another operating system) has even been made ILLEGAL and can result in a PRISON SENTENCE. Why? Because corporations wanted it that way to maximize their profits, and bribed politicians to pass the legislation; now if an independent repair shop fixes your vendor-locked phone, laptop, PC, or even household appliances for you at a lower price and the manufacturer finds out, said manufacturer can have them thrown in prison instead of having to compete on repair services.
Some corporations have become so powerful that they bend governments and regulators to their will on a daily basis. This is very dangerous; do you know how corporations are run? In the case of private corporations, autocratically; in the case of public corporations, oligarchically. This means that, in effect, we are ruled more and more by autocratic and oligarchic structures the people have little to no power over - and not by democratic governments.
We are to the point where militaries cannot even repair much of their own equipment... where they are totally dependent on the manufacturer to keep their hardware operational. Manufacturers may even have kill switches in military hardware, allowing them the final say over what happens even in wartime.
The people must force our governments to break up ALL the megacorporations, just like was done with Standard Oil. Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet/Google, GE, Samsung, Amazon, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Meta/Facebook, Berkshire Hathaway, JPMorgan Chase, Johnson & Johnson, among countless others - every single one must be broken up. No one should be "too big to fail".
That will restore competition and is a step towards saving democracy. We must ensure it is done, and so much more.
Otherwise, Orwell's vision of a boot stomping on a human face, forever, is about to become our reality - as corporations replace governments, and the rich bring us closer and closer to being their chattel slaves once again. Wage slavery is already becoming more and more like being owned... your employer can even fire you for things you say outside of work. Our freedoms are dying, freedom of speech included.

Never apologize for speaking slowly unless your intention is to confuse with double-speak. Politicians have perfected that. Thoughtful speech allows listeners to process ideas before asking them to accept your speach as truth
This is the second time in a day I have seen 'speech' spelled like peach with an s.
@@LordsofMedia
From my experience, it's often a Southern thing. When people type out letters as a phonetic reference to how they speak them, speech becomes speach.
Another factor is that people with highly linear minds (such as programmers or people who follow more closely with linear thought patterns and have less education in linguistics, which most linear thinkers don't have a strong interest in) will learn the word 'speak' and naturally insert the spelling as 'speach' instead of the common spelling.

This 1st got my on my nerves back in 2010 when I went into a games store chain in the UK to buy a physical copy of Fallout New Vegas.
I paid the money & got the retail DVD box, yes a physical box with advert blurb insert card proudly on display on outside of box.
I took it home & opened it but there was no DVD inside, instead there was a card with a Steam code on it...
This means I cannot & never have been able to play my owned & paid for copy of offline stand alone game Fallout New Vegas without:
A) The contract rental of an internet connection from an I.P.
B) Being logged into my active steam account.
This also means:
A) If & when I complete Fallout New Vegas I can't sell MY own property 2nd hand to make some money back from MY purchase.
B) If for any reason steam wants to pull Fallout New Vegas from their store, close my account or go's bust shuts up shop I will loose access to MY property.
Online games are online games & stand alone games are stand alone games & thats final!
Now I do play some MMO games as these can't be played anywhere but online so I understand & accept this but from this experience onwards for stand alone games I have only torrented them from nosteam .ro in protest! I mean if I don't truly owen them why should I pay for them.

The only time I see "software rental" as moral and legitimate is when you get a "perpetual fallback license" if you stop paying.
Jetbrains software is like this. You pay monthly or annually, and as long as you pay you get the latest updates. If you decide to stop paying then you just stop getting updates. This is legitimate imo because Jetbrains doesn't owe you any new updates or features when you stop paying them, but they still owe you the version of the software you paid for up until that point.
But Adobe is trash to begin with, but their business practices are equally trash. All they'd need to do in order to be a legitimate company is let you continue using their software at whatever version you had when you stopped paying. No more updates until you pay again.
Then add if you try cancel early you have to pay out the remainder of the plan you signed up for. Adobe is one of the least consumer friendly I've seen.

Corel Draw is really better for vector in any way or i just did not find any functionality which is missing. In Slovakia and Czech it is industry standard for everything.

As for other products - Photoshop is beast. There is just one viable alternative - Affinity Photo. For less advanced user it is enough. For others there is plenty choices - Krita, GIMP... For video editing Rush and Premiere is just joke. Not really well optimized and not stable at all. Just piece of crap. Da Vinchi or Final Cut is the way to go. Problem is After Effects.

Famous Quote: "You will own Nothing and you will be happy."
It is indeed a question of sovereignty. While Microsoft may own the OS, the buyer of the PC owns the hardware, but it is not just PC's. Some Tablet producers act as if the owner is a mere bystander. They update the system and add apps that are not necessarily wanted in with the operating system and that cannot be removed! This bloats limited space and slows down the system.

Speaking of using limited resources, out where I live I *HAVE* to use a hot-spot type cellular connection to access the internet with my desktop. I get roughly 246 KB/s download/upload speed. Guess what stock program in Windows 10 wants to always communicate with the internet and tie up all my available bandwidth? *Cortana.* I tried going through the whole checklist of ways to disable or shut off Cortana I could find and I saw it was still using bandwidth using my task manager. I eventually said F&%$ it, and told my antivirus to just firewall "Search" and haven't had an issue with it since. I've had to firewall so many basic functions of my PC that I don't use because I cant just get rid of them, just to have a decent enough connection to do anything online. I tried satellite, but only one company serves out this far in the woods, and they only have one satellite in this area that we could sync up to. That connection was intermittent due to the only spot they could put the dish had to look through a gap in the trees. A gap that opened and closed due to wind. Cable was looked into, but nobody will run a line out this far. Last option was to use the cell network, and because this hotspot is last generation, it only gets 4G and 1-2 bars at that. With how much is firewalled, (yes I let critical updates and security updates come through,) I can play online games like Starcraft 2, Space Engineers, Satisfactory, etc. Along with Discord running and in a chat room. All while fluctuating between 34 KB/s to 246 KB/s. 406 KB/s on a blue moon. But hey, silver lining. At least some of the early-access games I play I can give them a heads up on how well their multiplayer networking is optimized.
Just came across this and it begins to resonate. My faithful Acer of 10 years with Windows 7 pro gave up the ghost and was replaced with Windows 11 on May 1st, 2023 (Mayday, mayday!) and that began a month-and-a-half struggle to maintain my preferences from Microsoft's prying updates. Repeatedly, Windows 11 returned the OS to defaulting to their options rather than software _I chose_ to perform tasks. (Example: Snag-It's *Print Screen* activation was re-pointed to the piece of crap snipping app. Reading pdf docs was "re-defaulted" to a de-installed re-installed Edge piece of crap browser!)

WHERE is all the outrage?
People are becoming stupider and stupider at a very rapid rate.

Those of us who still read and think and are "real nerds" are even more a minority than we were in the early 2000s. The most horrifying difference to my mind is that while all this is true, the brainwashed apes all actually think that they are "nerds," and think they are super-intelligent and better-informed than people from earlier eras. Oh, and they have no empathy, imagination, creativity, or basic humanity either. There is no hope for them. Those of us who can think will stop using Microsoft products. The brainwashed apes will not. If there's any hope for all of this, it will come in the next few generations of young people, not from people right now.

Yes exactly, I recently bought a simple new Windows 11 laptop (not knowing it was gonna me irremovable), and after a month I had enough of it and send it back to the online seller with this complaint. I said; I bought a laptop at your store, but I didn't buy Windows 11 with it and I'm not waiting for a Microsoft account spying on me. Got my money back as a credit for buying another product on the site. But I just won't buy a new laptop or computer anymore like this. It ends with Windows 10 for me and I'm thinking of starting to do everything "old school" again.
I have noticed a disturbing trend. I am seeing a lot of "Improved" products , where the manufacturer's "Improvement" simply makes *their* lives easier, not yours. One of my utilities keeps asking me to pay their bill online, saying that I'll "save the stamp" but then requires that I pay a "Convenience Fee" to pay online. The "Convenience Fee" is 3x's the cost of a stamp. Yes, that's real convenient.

Same here.
You try to pretend that nothing weird is going on, disabling 'features' they add that complicate computer setting up and running, but now they are mandating those 'features', and you can't deny it anymore.
I'm still young and I hate all this "modern" sh1t, too
Fighting it is pretty much impossible because so many companies have bought big into Microsoft. The software they rely on runs on Windows (Adobe etc), they use other Microsoft products like Office. So like it or not, you're stuck with machines running Windows, Office, Outlook etc at work and when Microsoft goes and unilaterally alters everything with their new version, the companies roll over like good little puppies and change everything to suit Microsoft - including getting rid of perfectly functional machines that don't fit the new paradigm.
The only place we can have a semblance of freedom is on our home machines - provided we don't use any version of Windows. And avoid Apple, as well, since they're on the same path.
It's in our best interests to make it clear to manufacturers that there's a market out there for machines that are not locked into one company's OS. Apple build their own gear and Microsoft pressures PC manufacturers to make hardware to suit Microsoft's requirements - UEFI, TPM etc. We need to make sure that manufacturers see there's a market for machines where those Microsoft-mandated hardware changes can be switched off.
@@wolf1066 We need this. We need that. All we can do is enjoy good times because they too shall pass and prepare for reveal of our new world order masters.
I went to the inauguration meeting of the TPA - the beginning of the TPM. The manufacturers got mad at me when I told them that they are requiring their customers to buy hardware to enforce security for themselves but not deliver any use/value for the customer.
It's been a long time coming - I had an Anti-TPA/TPM banner on my webpage back in 1998 or 1999 - this was already being discussed then.

Amen to that. This is why i switched to Linux 16 years ago. Didn't know crap about software, but learned. Now there are out of the box versions that don't really need to be tweaked. Not to mention free install software, no virus to worry about, it has real security and the price is right. The down side? Still can't play the newest 'windows games'. Not a loss to me. I also use it to recover data, as Linux reads and manipulates windows.

Format flash drive using the instructions.
Go to bios and set boot priority so that the flash drive is checked before the hard drive.
Next just install Linux to hard drive and you are done
This is EXACTLY what we IT professionals have been saying for 2 decades now. This has been a long road that Microsoft has said they were building toward SASOS Software as a Service Windows platform that you rent (subscribe) the OS and ONLY Windows that THEY authorize to be out at that time to use your computer. If you dare try to change that or decide NOT pay their extortion Fees to keep the OS active, they will turn it into a brick and all data becomes inaccessable. They did it already with Office 365 however there are legitimate alternitive that work far superiorly IMHO, however if Microsoft locks down the TPM With SAS Windows, they can do the same with Office suites. And not allowing competitors ability to be installed. Software as a service is nothing but extortion to force users to pay and continue to pay for the right to access their materials made with that service in perpituity.

Data never becomes inaccessible under windows because there is NO FILE PROTECTION whatsoever! Why do YOU think hackers absolutely LOVE that platform? You can grab ALL of your data via a linux liveCD boot stick. You don't even have to install it! Why is this? Because with a liveCD stick you are GOD BY DEFAULT! Just have some patience because you'll probably be moving your data from somewhere on C:\ to a linux /fat32 designation. Remember to plug in your storage stick AFTER the liveCD is loaded. Linux will automatically mount it as a partition, see? but remember to UNMOUNT it by right clicking the icon from inside whatever default file manager is being used by the linux OS (nautilus, nemo, Dolphin, whatever). One final tidbit.. file names and programs ARE CASE SENSITIVE under all flavors of linux (default is lower case.. thus your /home directory, partition will always have your UN under it (generally something like this: /home/yourFirstName)).

Windows 7 was the best operating system for privacy, device compatibility, and smoothly ran programs. No bullshit from Windows 7. But there was bullshit from Windows 8, 8.1, 10, or 11. Only universities, colleges, and official businesses get contracts from Microsoft to prevent problems that normal users experience. Microsoft's monopoly on business software has made being a student or worker become this privacy nightmare with neverending bugs and beta mode. These universities, colleges, and official businesses don't care about online privacy rights. They care about money more. It's why these tyrannical government authorities are being able to spy on people more easily. Stupid consumers don't care about their privacy. Which is why these stupid people will continue to get controlled by exclusively wealthy elites with their Orwellian technologies. The only reason why people are using Windows 10 or 11 is because Microsoft has a monopoly on virtual reality video gaming. Apple and Linux don't hold a candle to Windows 10 regarding video gaming graphics. Also, the only reason people use Microsoft 10 is because they are too lazy to use privacy-friendly operating systems like Linux distributions.

I am afraid that ppl were not willing to accept the planned BIIIIIIG Win10 update - that would make it look like Windows 11 ....... and the much safer NEW DRIVER MODEL would be impossible to "enforce" and *completely* implement in windows in the 3 years period from now. ALSO it would lead to a LOT and LOTS of confusion AFTER switching to the NEW driver model: ppl would ask: "Why my GPU suddenly is NOT supported etc... while other GPUs are???" ...... With Windows 11 minimal specifications it is EASY!: THERE You have it: TMP 2.0 , GPU with DirectX 12 , etc..... and *simply* put: a CPU from 2018 or newer - so THAT it is still in active support and the manufacturers have their duty to provide and support the NEW WINDOWS DRIVER MODEL - which (BTW) reduces BSODs by 99.6% !

Just wipe Windows once and for all, and install Linux Mint. I use it on all my personal PCs and laptops now. Windows user since 1992, and a deeply technical one at that. Had enough of them in Redmond.
My laptop won't even upgrade to Windows11, according to the Microsoft upgrade evaluation program. I'm OK with that, it's been running Linux just fine for three or four years.
Something else to consider: Be very cautious when software notifications of new "updates" show up. Can't recall how many times I've "updated" a program and suddenly lost functionalities (that were sometimes the only reason for having the software in the first place) in the last couple years.
That one has been biting me a lot recently. I need to check myself every time I am tempted to hit yes.
yeah was preventing me using a downloader very recently ...the sc****um have went too far ,...
Firefox browser allows you take screenshots and play videos on mini screen in any tab- The only reason I use it over chrome. The next two updates wiped those two features out.
You mean like when Firefox 'updated' the whole UI without warninh and removed functionality followed by the 'update' that removed Tab groups - 'but it's OK you can add them back via a plug in' followed by the 'update' to remove all plug ins ! !
That's when I left FireChrome and switched to Pale Moon (real Firefox.)
Many examples in Windows too. I'm sticking to XP where I do what I want (I have multiple powerful XP boxes + 1 NT7 box which I admit is a good OS.)
My phone has a solution to this: forced updates. If you don't opt into an update it gives you a timer until it automatically installs. If you delay the timer for too long it just installs it anyway. Of course by installing it (and using it) you agree to waive all legal rights...
It's amazing how many don't realize this and it's been going on for years.
It all seems so harmless until one day.... Everything is censored including true knowledge and science. And our phones and computers are just interface devices that let us access what they want us to see.
It will get worse, the hint is in this microsoft account with windows 11. And people who are playing on PC/Consoles will have soon this account needed to play their games in their cloud.
No one is restricting knowledge of anything, including science. It's more about leveraging personal information to sell, which quite honestly is done by most of corporate America, unless they document otherwise.
@@rainmanrays Technically, it is not considered a crime. It is things like emails, preferences while online, items viewed etc. to compile a demographics which is gold as a target audience. It sounds trivial, but it is big money when scaled. More of an ethics question than a criminal.
@@scottt7400 wow, you must be in coma or something to believe that. That is indeed what they do. Restrict you from knowlegde that is not on their agenda. That is also a reason why some people getting attacked, specially when you tell the truth or facts. People do not like that, because they can not debunk that at all. Censorship is big on big tech.
@@machoalright I never depend on Social Media for knowledge, and I am sure that is the "Big Tech" in particular you are referring to. You have the freedom to branch out and seek truths that aren't biased, or tainted. I also suggest that no one watches tell you what you want to hear tv, or radio as political views are very skewed today regardless of affiliation. All one has to do is think for one's self, and ask yourself, "Why do all the egregrious accusations from both sides fail to quench the peoples desire for proof? Because it is prescribed hyperbole projected out of contempt for the other side. So machoalright, I am not in a coma, I just don't let myself be confined by the restraints politics tries to put us in. I suggest you do the same. Liberate your mind, and block the fringe noise. Your mind belongs to you, don't let the static change that.
Glad I found your channel Jody. I started with MicroStation and moved to AutoCAD LT when I left my govt sector job around 1997.
This was around the time 1st Gen Pentium were become financially available to Joe Citizen.
Windows XP and AutoCAD LT worked like a charm on my SCSI based SuperMicro Pentium II.
I paid $1700 for the disk, the key and serial no.
Renting AutoCAD LT at US$80 per month for a few hours work is a rip off. You waste an an hour or more backwards and forwards with email or SMS codes just verifying you are who you say you are.
If that wasn’t painful enough, they introduced and added, very clunky independent authenticator software.
I later bought a Dell XPS i7 all in one touch screen with windows 8, which soon forced me to upgrade to windows 10.
Same goes with games. I liked soldier of fortune and a couple of other RPG games run from my SCSI CD-RW. I didn’t need Steam. I OWNED the disk and key and had NO problem downloading the rare game patch.
I've worked as a cloud analyst and don't want to move to "as a service" ANYTHING you end up RENTING rather than owning your physical media software. I've put my wife on notice that we will be switching to a LINUX OS once MS forces it's will on us. "You will own nothing and be happy"
@Grace Jackson Lol, she hates all things tech and married a geek. (I think it was for the free IT support). Any new software is a big deal at out house.
@Grace Jackson Better for who? I'm fine.
@@gpalmerify -thumbs up-
What are you waiting for? Why do you still use M$?
@@einarabelc5 For my wife, I use LINUX and work with MacOS. I'll probably end up easing her in using Mint or another LINUX OS with a Cinnamon WM.
This is a concerning topic for me. I really do want to have MY DOCUMENTS and MY DATA all stored on devices that I am in total control of. I despise iCloud. I despise the strictness that the system tries to confine me with to make sure I'm not "pirating" or downloading "unauthorized software." I want to customize my device however I like.
Yep. Feel exactly the same about all of this. I "bought" an Adobe Photoshop CS6 perpetual licence many years ago. I then foolishly, with no intention of getting it, installed a free trial of CC (just to see if I was missing out - I wasn't) and now cannot use CS6 (which would still meet my needs) and I can't get CC (which I consider malware) off my computer.
As for Microsoft and Apple. Never forget they're American companies in good standing with their government. Just imagine they were Chinese companies and how we might feel about giving the keys to all our computers to the CCP. Why should we be less concerned about the US govt having them?
YOu have to clean your registry and get rid off any Adobe shared folders in Application DATA folder (hidden). New software uses more intricate licensing shit, and not letting you have older version. I had a problem installing Max2018, until I uninstalled Max 2012. Assholes!
Look up the YEK_ASN (spelled backwards) """conspiracy"""
There will be one single place needed to get power over in order to control the entire fleet of digital devices in everywhere including government offices: Microsoft headquarters. The owners will be in control of basically all of life... if they want to... how is this even remotely acceptable for anyone?! Especially governments!! I think we need to educate our politicians about the turn-key-ready corporate dictatorship being built here...
Use GIMP instead of photoshop. There's moral versions of every software now.
@@mikeb3172 I've used GIMP for many years. The problem now isn't finding something to edit images with. The problem is how to get Adobe CC off my computer. But GIMP is not great. It sort of does most things but is very clunky - like having to click a file name to generate a preview thumbnail - _really_ . I used Zoner 17 for a while and that was great, quick, easy and with the capacity to do some nice global edits. But they moved to a subscription model and at the same time put more focus on their file management module. Software industry - please just bugger off with the file management modules. That's what operating systems are for - I don't need multiple other layers of software 2nd, 3rd, 4th... guessing how I should organise files.
This is in every aspect of any kind of technology. Computers where you now have to pay subscriptions for all your software, electronics you have to replace because you can't buy the $1 component to make a simple repair, cars where you have to pay a monthly fee for use of the heated seats and where they make things intentionally impossible for the end user (ie, OWNER) to repair all the way to corporate giants buying up all the houses making homes extraordinarily expensive if you can even find one to buy. It's out of control and there should be anti-trust lawsuits inundating the courts because of all of this. It is time for revolution.
Another thing I noticed when starting up a pc from the box is that - unless I missed something - it is IMPOSSIBLE to set up windows at all on the PC without internet access. So the choice to use a PC stand alone without internet, is gone; another choice taken away.
At least for Windows 10 you could not have Internet plugged in and get around that but your probably right about 11
It's a tiny word and takes a few confirmations but you can do it without internet, heck you don't even need to have a Microsoft account but that takes command line from foolery if i remember and you have to be careful to not log into anything
You still can, but you have to use the console.
To bypass internet - SHIFT + F10 then type OOBE/BYPASSNRO then restart. The option I DON't HAVE INTERNET will appear.
Was going to say the same as the last guy. I also use an install thumb drive with it in the auto unattend with it off and the bloatware removed.
Ill never forget backing up my files to Google Drive and upon retrieving them being told some of my files were suspect and they litetally deleted them from my cloud account. That really pissed me off. Back to backing things up the old fashioned way.
Did Google explain to you WHY those files were "suspect"? In any event, if you ever again back up any files to Google Drive, then do yourself a HUGE favor and encrypt them. That way, Google won't be able to snoop around in your Google Drive storage space.
Old school backup until TPM control oversteps and gate keeps your written media too. The era of thought and choice control. The era of protecting us against ourselves. I guess they want us all in diapers licking lollypops like good little children.
Have your own repository!
Same thing happened to me.
The Cloud is just the third backup. Always keep one or two locals.
As full-time IT guy, I believe Apple and Microsoft want to reach the point where the entire "experience" will be subscription based. OS and all.
You can't pay up this month? Tough luck! All your devices are now locked.
The constant stream of new "versions" of each OS, with support being withdrawn on older ones, was 99% on its way to being a subscription anyway.
As full-time IT guy, you should know that MS offered their last 2 operating systems as a free upgrade if you owned windows 8 (for regular people). How does it fits your theory? Microsoft is making money by selling products to companies, not to regular folks. They are giving more free products to mass so people are getting familiar with them and when company is considering to purchase OS licenses they will more likely select windows because it means no extra cost for training your staff on how to use new OS. This is also why student licenses are quite often free or way cheaper - so people have contact with the software as early as possible as most likely they will continue to use it as professionals.
@@curiousape001 Also there is a monopolies authority and anti-trust laws to prevent the kind of behaviour Microsoft is being accused of. If proven!
@@frankshailes3205 what kind of behaviour you are thinking about?
@@curiousape001 Google is also 'free'. The 'free' is a means to an end for these companies. You are free to give up some of your freedom.
Win 11 is the reason I jumped to Ubuntu... I know it's much harder to use but nah, I'm out, can't do this with Windows anymore...
I really miss win 7, 10 was a downgrade, and 11 is more of a downgrade! Missing things that used to come standard, no real support of DVD and bluray, stupid and annoying default of having to use OneDrive - come on guys, why can't I store things on my computer. Old programs don't run. Everything is being forced to go to subscription programs, the best thing I can say about win 11, is that at least they did not remove the ability you use a mouse that was not made by Microsoft. I have been a Windows user since Version 2.0. Now I feel like MS has made me an enemy, instead of a customer.
The very best version of Windows was Windows 95. Second best was NT4. XP wasn't too bad but Microsoft was already starting to think in terms of owning the computer by that time. Everything since has been crap.
I made my way from beloved C 64, reluctantly over MS-DOS to WIndows XP, which I really miss for all the downfall that came afterwards. And 7 was the last version I could dive in deep and handle myself.
I don't own a mobile phone, boycott facebook and twitter, try to avoid clouds and data kraken google and windows, have just switched on my new laptop from Chrome to Firefox, from Outlook to Thunderbird, from Word to Open Office, still learning...
Bad expectations, the future looks black.
The first time a new OS actually felt like an upgrade in a long time is when I went from Win10 to Linux.
Why miss it? I still use Win7. Just use a decent antivirus, a secure browser (FFX) and stay away from dicey websites. Disable a number of useless services and updates. Problem solved.
I miss the Windows 7 too and Window XP
Subscription software is definitely the biggest PC cancer we have today; companies making money all the time while offering pretty much nothing. We've come to the point where you need to pay monthly to use a freakin word processor, something that does the same job for 50 yesrs now. Industry leaders blackmailing you every month for software you may need to buy once in 5-10 years, that' how bloated and slow their development is. People should seriously boycot these schemes, we already are in deep trouble because of them and handing more control to this mafia will make things much worse.
Such is the """freedom""" of capitalism.
Open source software exists, just convert to pdf if you need to mail things to ppl.
This is the free market. You're not forced to use their Spyware.
There are freeware, open source versions of almost everything people need if they only take a moment to look. Unfortunately the people most ensnared by these subscription schemes are often the least capable of finding alternatives themselves.
I had to recover a client's personal system and Intuit killed their software license and forced them to buy a new license for the same PC. NEXT, they then claimed their stuff needed a password to open it, when it never had a password. They wanted 200 bucks for that. Trying to blackmail customers like that, is shameless.
O(1) to O(n)
Good luck trying to cancel an adobe subscription without paying an early termination fee. Its disgusting how these corporations can scam everyone because they’re too big to fight against as a consumer. What are the options that don’t include spending your own financial resources to dispute their greedy policies.
Politically motivated violence has always been an option, and will soon become a necessity.
I thought they removed that? I was able to unsub for free recently
Don't pay it in the first place lol, nothing to cancel.
I've been using Linux for years as a secondary system to learn and play with. Screw windows, now using Linux full time.
Videos and information like this are becoming more and more important as time goes on. Big tech companies are constantly coming up with ways to keep a death grip on all our information and dictating what we can or can not do with our own devices. It's too bad most governments are so behind the times that we don't have more consumer protections in place for electronics and digital products (or in many cases like the US the big tech co's pump so much money into lobbying that politicians just blindly side with them and let them do whatever they want)
not even big tech companies, its an industry problem.
At the end we might envy North Korea the freedom.
“Behind the times?” Who do you think is buying that info?
The government technically isn’t allowed to spy on you directly. But after the 70’s it was determined the government could request and buy phone records from phone companies because technically it wasn’t “your data.” This carries over to computer information. The more information they can determines isn’t yours, the less of an expectation of privacy and fourth amendment rights you have.
don't buy it
@@reececaldwell722 homie was referring to the laws protecting these shenanigans.
As a professional software developer for 35 years, I concur with all of your statements and declarations. It is too bad that we cannot form an alliance to stop the madness but we are only a tiny minority of the population. I do not see a winning scenario going forward. What I do see is big corporate interests running monopolies shaking down the population and a completely apathetic government on the take. This is basically fascism in the fast lane and there is not a damned thing that we can do about it.
You sure? every political side is on the same page. And that never happens just need a leader if anything

Maybe if you can't do it legally, you could from an alliance to decrypt the way windows 11 works and uh...get creative, a sort of bypassing software.
Make it easier for individuals to build their own PCs, laptops, and smartphones.
It does Microsoft, google, and apple no good to control all of their machines if people just build their own from the start.

I would love to be able to build my own degoogled smartphone if it was easy to do and if I could make a phone that didn't suck.
Windows 7 was the most user friendly OS I have ever used. Without my permission I was updated to Windows 8 and lost many of my favourite programs. Then one by one "License Agreements" have come into force where I have to purchase the right to use my computer. I was shocked when I bought Office and found out I had paid hundreds of dollars for a program that I then had to licence and would never own. Now even the card games can't be played unless I am online and receiving adverts or I have to pay for the right to play the games without the adverts. I did go to Linux, (Linux Mint 19.1) and ran that for a few years but suddenly it slowed down to a crawl and trying to get peripherals for it was a shambles. We are being treated like cows on a dairy farm, milked at every opportunity. I hate Microsoft and the big tech companies with a vengance, greed and usury on an unprecedented scale.

That's obviously all illegal
I had an Win7 laptop, although support ended, they gave one last update which made my pc very slow. How come that they force some people while some don't?

Your breakdown is phenomenal! And your prediction for this dystopian future we are heading towards is SPOT on!
We're not heading there. We have already arrived.
@@blessedheavyelements8544 The dystopian society already existed even before windows. But don’t worry, There will ALWAYS be people who manage to find ways to modify. Also there are competition so there would be companies or alternatives that would do the opposite of Microsoft’s bad decisions.

That's part of the issue... some of it's already happening now. It's already dystopian already and we will hopefully avoid... hopefully S: ... a complete dystopian nightmare heading forward.
Sad to say many people do not realize this and will run windows 11 and contribute to this atrocity...
As a consumer, we should be able to decide to keep our devices in a default mode or a developer mode at our own risk, to do as we please with the devices we paid for as long as the activities are not illegal or hurting anyone.
Great video, thank YOU for the information. Stay safe out there. JB
I agree, but after mid-October of 2025, most older PCs won't support Windows 🔟 anymore
but that earns the big corps less money
This is one more reason I have always hated subscription-based "purchases"
