Who is so dumb here to use Windows 10?

[Seller888]

All windows OS are just a bunk when it comes to digital safety. Simply put, windows + bitcoin = guaranteed hackers , so probably not use any windows with bitcoin if you dont wanna get hacked.

But to use Windows 10, is just begging to be hacked. Who would be so dumb to use windows 10 and bitcoin? If you do then dont cry on reddit a few months later that you got hacked, because nobody will feel sympathy for you dumbass.

Lets review Win 10:

✔ Sending Telemetry
✔ Sending Biometrics (They send all info about your behaviour, even the coordinates of your cursor to Big Brother)
✔ Handwriting Data sharing (which may be used to indentify your unique handwriting)
✔ App Telemetry
✔ Step recorder
✔ Classic microphone and webcam spying tools
✔ Cortana = AI that builds profile on you and gather data on you
✔ Web search keylogger
✔ Windows media sends info to Big Brother
✔ Password reveal = Sending Your passwords to Big Brother
✔ Advertising ID = Building a profile on your and using it to identify you on the web
✔ Spying on your GPS coordinates
✔ Language preferences sent to Big Brother
✔ Calendar, Radio,Messages, etc.. all spied upon
✔ Feedback requests,Update sharing etc
✔ Wifi spying
✔ Windows Defender logs all network trafic and sends to Big Brother
✔ No private data anymore, Onedrive integration esentially means anybody can access it
✔ Background analytics and hidden updates (like how Win7 downloaded Win10 unnoticed)
✔ Other backdoors

So basically Win 10 is a giant malware and spyware software. If you use Win 10+ Bitcoin you must be suffering from slavery or low intelligence, because you are just begging to be hacked, because Win 10 is the holy grail for hackers, as Big brother, as other hackers can also spy upon you and your bitcoin private keys.

Solution: Linux, or other open-source operating system.

There are many altcoin "investors" here on this forum. You can go to the altcoin section and see who's
still "investing" in altcoin ico scams. I believe there's a correlation between altcoin "investing"
and using windows 10.

Theres a thread in this offtopic sector that asks people between what OS they use, there are many who tell its WIN10.

So yea you are right!

I am not good at technical stuff much but I can say windows 10 is bad but not that bad to stop using it.
Yes I know there are many applications that let's Microsoft gather data about us but now a days Applications are launched to stop the spying on us.
If you don't link cortana you can disable it. And the application made by developers disable(cover) all major points.

The problem is that windows 7 is also infected with the microsoft malware. I managed to get rid of it by rolling back to a previous restore point, uninstalling security updates, deleting entries in the task scheduler and replacing GWX.exe and other executables with ping.exe or whatever. FUCK MICROSOFT!

My windows 7 works like before now without any telemetry spying shit. I continue to use their shitty operating systems because I like to play games.

I use windows 10 and its pretty fine. Had to add 100+ domains to hosts file to which windows send personal my data, but now every os (not open source) collects such data.
Is there any proof / articles / news that state it is easier to get hacked on wondows 10?

i use use windows 10 on the same pc i use bitcoin
...but its a gentoo box
...w10 is in a vm (with gpu access) ONLY used for gaming (Fallout 4 :-D)

Microsoft almost forces the update from 7 to 10,if you don't know what you are doing.

And the new computers will come with windows 10

It feels better than Windows 8 but I still strongly prefer 7.

Windows 10 isn't quite as bad as the OP is making it out to be.  All of these things can be disabled.  

To start, try using https://www.safer-networking.org/spybot-anti-beacon/

Additionally....try this video for more security tips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1kGMCfb2xw


So yea I use Windows 10, and no, I am not dumb......

Perhaps it would just take a while to get used to it. I mean Windows won't put up without a fight.

But yea, I'm still all into for Windows 7. So it would be greate if these Windows guys just get their act together and add their enhancements whatsoever over Windows 7, instead of messing things up exactly like their Windows 8.

[redsun114]

I think windows 10 is not such bad, yeah I still prefer windows 7 though over 10

There are a lot of Windows 10 anti spying software, which anyone can install. And keep in mind that, not all people have enough computer skills, to use Linux

I plan to use Windows 7 as long as there is support for it, and they say they will be by the year 2020.Although I use Windows 7 I know that they tried to install via windows update some of the bad stuff from Windows 10.I think I've managed to avoid all of them and furthermore I installed this program for block and stop various tracking from Microsoft.

But windows 10 is new stuff and you can upgrade it for free from older versions, who don't want something new and FREE?

[quadriple7]

i agree that windows 10 is really bad, therefore i use windows 7 only

IMHO anyone who is able to install anti-spy-software (and knows about it) is able to run linux... try elementary ;-)

(btw i wouldnt trust any spy software with an automatic updating os. and running an os without recent updates is a bad idea too - so i dont think anti spy software helps you here - or do you expect your "not having any computer skills"-user to check that their anti-spy-software is really working by sniffing network streams?)
