No.
The schools provide laptops to the kids. And then make them "kid accounts". Then the school process all of those reports and punishes based on them... or sells them to advertising firms.
- kstrauser 11y agoYou know, a couple of years ago I would have written that off as paranoid ranting.
- kefka 11y agoNo, I think it still is paranoid. It's just now provably true as well. I'm not entirely sure how much I believe the "MS sniffs your keyboard every half hour". However, with that kid-sniffer (search this page for imgur); that's built in. That terrifies me. And I'm thinking of LGBT, other religions, TOR, abortions and women's health, medical searches, domestic abuse searches, and more. And the allegations that the torrent sites are levying are also insane too. I'm glad I've been working on Ubuntu and FreeBSD for the last 12 years. Unfortunately, I'm getting a nice writeup to the 2 directors I've passed an Intel Compute Stick to with Win10, alerting them of the situation.
- ultramancool 11y agoWhat's really surprised me here is that I haven't seen Microsoft comment on any of the privacy concerns here at all. They haven't even said they're going to fix the stuff you can't disable ( see http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/08/even-when-told-not-to-windows-10-just-cant-stop-talking-to-microsoft/ http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/08/even-w... ). I'm worried that they're just going to ignore problems like this and in a few years, there will be no choice but to run this if you want to be able to run the latest versions of other software.
