Mr_Amine, why use 2PCs for that purpose? Isn't VM or dual-boot better alternative overall?

Evorax, yes, such transmitter needs an antenna - that's be pretty easily discoverable by every power user that accesses his/her computer.
It's not possible to do any sort of mass collection this way - seems to be designed for targeted survelliance only. Rural areas are also ruled out.

Miles? So it's operating in HF-VHF spectrum - any sort of VF detector could detect it. It'd cause lots of interference in nearby areas.

Also it's not going to work with Truecrypted HDDs or EXT file systems I believe

so? what do we have to do? we cannot feel secure even with those services disabled?

 

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate x64. In "Services", there is no "Diagnostics Tracking Service" entry. The closest references are, "Diagnostic Policy Service", "Diagnostic Service Host", and "Diagnostic System Host". Now what?

 

Exactly
There are few options:

1. Migrate to Linux - although there's limited compatibility with audio hardware/software
2. Keep Windows 7 - there's still about 5 years during which it'll receive updates. Disable network services and use virtual machine with bridged adapter to access internet. Do not install updates unless necessary. Cons: limited performance, needs a lot of free RAM for VM
3. Dualboot with Linux OS - uninstall network drivers completely on your Windows and use Linux for internet only. Most secure solution, but rather inconvenient in case you need Windows and internet access at the same time
4. Use spare PC - for internet access. Slightly more convenient than option 3. However needs more electricity and there's money involved in getting extra PC.
   
5. ReactOS - not really an option now, considering it's pre-alpha, but in next few years it might improve on faster pace
6. Mac OSX - might be better option than settling with W10 nonsense, but it's from a freezer to a frying pan - not really solution, as Apple is evil
7. Use highly customized, lite Windows 8.1 with VM and bridged adapter to access inet - this is slightly better solution as Win8 have support till 2023, but due to numerous problems with Win8, I'd stay away until 2020
8. Use Windows 7/8/8.1/10 with IRQ-disabled network adapters and access inet through Virtual Machine through VT-d translated adapter. This way Windows wouldn't have access to your network adapter at all (it'd be non-existent for it). Cons: expensive (need VMWare vSphere, Workstation and lots of RAM), difficult to set up properly, only for experienced users

Look

 

one question: is that (I mean the spying on Win10) so different and greater than the previous OS? Are we less secure than we were on win7 and win8.1? even if it is so, all of us have been downloading cracked material for years, and no one cares. ......boh, I do not know how to react.

 

Andrew Me & My Team we use more than 2 PC because we use 1 PC For Editing videos and other PC for Audio Production only
when we separate each PC for each purpose we work even better

There is chips to fit in HD's, there is even chips inside simple cables like usb extension, simple things with that transmitter inside. In those documents even reports that when you order something online from retailer, they intercept modify and send back along to you. Like hd or mobo.

But no need for all this if you are MS. You just make new Win 10 tablets notebooks desktops xbox phones with this already inside. Also no need for suitecase sized reciever. With all this platforms and units, they create their own network as long as each is close enough to next. Like wild fire or virus network will get bigger.

 

Chrome is made by Google. Google tracks everything you do online. They are more evil than the facist NSA. It is all about profit for them.
I use my Audio PC offline and a refurb $120 pc for internet. Cheaper and easier than building one. I have seen refurbs as low as $70 at newegg and microcenter. For internet YTF not? The government can successfully use Sarbanes-Oxley against anyone now who erases their browser history. Story here. Duck duck go is my search engine. No tracking like google.

 

I use Duck too, but I would not bet on their claim that they don`t track...
