Seems more privacy focused than Microsoft and Apple? So sad to even think that. Also, remember that China wouldn’t use Windows 10 due to how invasive the telemetry is unless Microsoft gave them a special version just for China.
I’m not saying that NK or China are privacy focused. It seems like even the spies don’t like to be spied on.
- sh0 5y agoAs far as I remember the Red Star kernel has a module which modifies all opened images and documents by appending a device fingerprint to the file. In fact it is a chain of fingerprints to trace where the file has been. So not exactly 'privacy focused'.
- trasz 5y ago[citation needed]. That would break a whole lot of things, and the kernel would be a silly place to implement it.
- throwaway4good 5y agoChina also insisted on and got its own version of the trusted platform module, a chip that is present on all pcs that can run windows. Rather than ridiculing what countries such as China or North Korea do in the name of national security, we tech people should pay strict attention as here are hints on how our own daily technology is being surveilled and controlled.
- Iolaum 5y agoWoW I didn't know about this, Here's a quick results about TPM's not being available in China for people interested in this: https://www.makeuseof.com/why-chinese-users-cant-upgrade-windows-11/ https://www.makeuseof.com/why-chinese-users-cant-upgrade-win...
