Always download your Windows ISOs from MS directly: https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10ISO?msockid=1f1e1899fbc26e530dcb0cebfa3f6f8b

The moment you get them from somewhere else, no, it cannot be deemed 100% safe.

Mass grave uses the exact same method as a real Windows validation would. To MS it’s undetectable and if you register your hardware, permanent (unless you swap your motherboard). I have my old NAS registered at the hardware level so no matter how many times I’ve reinstalled Windows, it sticks.

Mass grave is bullet proof and 100% safe. The only way MS can kill it is if they completely retool their Windows registration system and the odds of that are about the same as them making Windows respect your privacy.

*Me looking at all my zoomer friends who have wallets

Nope. And it's less than the cost of actually doing what they are supposed to be doing. This is like driving into a crowd and being given a speeding ticket. Absolutely fucking shameful. But I bet the government officials overseeing the case probably got a nice vacation out of it.

According to Microsoft whistleblower Andrew Harris, Microsoft spent years ignoring a vulnerability while he proposed fixes to the "security nightmare." Instead, Microsoft feared it might lose its government contract by warning about the bug and allegedly downplayed the problem

This says everything about this shitty company. Worst of the worst. Because that’s how they make 90% of their cash. By exploiting licensing deals and siphoning data to sell to whomever because they do not care who it is so long as they bid the highest.

It’s amazing no one has tried to break up their control over PCs. Make this world make sense.

I don’t think that word means what you think it means

Look at all these kids having a good time! Not on my watch!!! 🙃

No, I don’t mind you asking at all!

Jellyfin. V1.9 is a huge leap forward.

You can’t. That’s how activation lock works. You need to bring the owner to the Apple Store some random letter won’t suffice. It’s bricked.

Lmao. Fold it to so it looks really legit. Make sure there’s a crease. What nonesense.

Why does this sub exist? To shit on Apple? Literally all the comments are neckbeards complaining about this or that. Wtf?

I’ve just started hiding penises in my work. Your move AI.

I like krypton.sh

Go watch their WWDC 2024 keynote on how their cloud computing is set up to handle privacy and the sharing of information from device to cloud. And how they setup their proprietary servers.

As for generally collecting details (like contact info, location info, payment details, and even government issues IDs) how do you propose they offer services like Apple Card, Apple Pay, Digital Driver's Licenses, etc. without knowing that info???

I swear half of Lemmy doomsday preppers! We are talking about secure transmission from device to cloud while respecting your privacy; not using Apple services as a ghost. They are not aiming to replace Mullvad; they want to build AI on top of a secure platform that doesn't shine a flood light on your private life.

Scour their UELA all you want, really has nothing to do with the conversation; we all know they have info on you as we all know smoking causes cancer.

Yesssss! This is big and hoping other countries follow suite. Write to your elected officials all over the world and press these changes! We need to take our rights back from big tech and rein them in! They’ve been controlling us for far too long!!

Yeah thank the heavens the deal was squashed. It was a bold move even for Adobe.

Building a NAS in this day and age is trivial. Hard drive space is cheaper and far more economical than paying $20 a month for a service. The way prices are going it's going to soon hit parity with car payments.

I had an old PC from 2012 with an i3 dual core in it. Ran a headless Linux server. Raided the 2 3TB drives. Done. It was replaced by a 4 TB SSD and since those have nowhere near the failure rates of HDDs, one and one. It servers files off my main computer which is a beefy Mac.

Enabled file sharing. Opened the port on my firewall. Done. It's one of the easiest services to offload to a homebuilt rig.

Not feasible in a work environment. Photopea works just fine if you simply need CS6 level Ps. Just need a browser.
