Even after paying, windows sells our info, every keystroke.

Is it really that bad? I haven't used it in years so I'm not following it. Do they literally have a built-in keylogger?

[-] eugene1970@waveform.social 8 points 1 year ago

Definitely not, that would be an absurd privacy violation

[-] aloso@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago

Microsoft does collect a lot of data. But storing every keystroke is first of all impractical, because it would take a lot of disk space to store every keystroke of every user, and secondly not very useful unless they also knew when, in which application, and in what context each key was pressed.

Ahaha, privacy. Yeah.

[-] eugene1970@waveform.social 4 points 1 year ago

I mean yeah it’s not exactly a private OS but a key logger would be mental

At this point I don't think it will be, to be honest. And at this point they don't need one, their pretend assistant has the ability to record all the activity anyway
