RE: Windows 10 is a Keylogger?

in #windows7 years ago

Don't have to be. I'm not a tech pro either, I just spent quite some hours reading up on potential risks, like normal rational people would do, and I assessed the risks and decided to throw away Windows. Even though I had a licensed original Windows 7 DVD, i haven't pirated it. However I've thrown my DVD into the trash can, symbolizing that I'm done with it.

Software nowadays is pretty easy to use. Linux is not command line-only as it was once, you have a beautiful desktop environment, and it's pretty easy to use.

I just can't figure out why would anyone pay 120$ for that crap, when they can just get a decent and more secure OS for literally free.

I guess most people just pirate their Windows, which is even worse, from a security standpoint.

What you can't understand can be covered by just one word "inertia". Sadly I'm sucked into it now.

The problem is that evolution tells us that only the fittest survives, this means that humans constantly have to adapt to the environment and take the necessary precautions if new threats arise.

Hmm, adaptation... to stay stationery means extinction. Good point!

Yes but in this example I was referring to adaptation to security practices. For example not being aware of more secure software or not updating a system is essentially this. It might lead to financial loss usually.
