  • If I'm not mistaken, many smart TVs tend to take multiple screenshots per second and send it back to base with other methods if wifi or ethernet aren't available, although I gotta research a little more on that.

    So even then, don't connect it to a PC, you're just waiving your privacy rights

  • I agree, that has happened with other windows devices I've used recently (both w10 and 11), although this was completely reset, no data other than a chrome sign-in and a few games, this had also been the first time I opened edge, so I'm pretty confused how an opt in feature just magically stops requiring consent from the user...

  • I went to the widgets pane on my w11 laptop once, clicked an article and to my horror, all of my data had been synced from chrome to edge, including passwords, history, open tabs, extensions, pretty much everything.

    I even went as far as to report it to the ACCC (the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) since I've never seen it from other browsers, and that I found it pervy the fact they did it without consent, although I doubt the ACCC would be enough to change this shitty practice, and others like it.

    They're not even trying to trick the user anymore, they're forcing them.

  • At least 8 is better than 4

    I retired my 4gb/120gb/celeron ThinkPad 11e today, since I've got a more powerful laptop lying around and I've used it for 8 years nonstop. It used to freeze up occasionally when there were more than 4 Firefox tabs open, and not to mention, my obsession with GNOME causing a shortage of system resources.

    Man that ThinkPad felt like family, I'm gonna miss using it.
