The problem is that every user thinks they need constant updates to remain 'secure'. It's bullshit. I've used 2020 version of windows with no defender for years with no issues. Updates are more likely to introduce bugs and security issues than solve them at this point. Even the guy in this video says 'I don't recommend not installing updates' - well, then live with it.

 

I hate to bring the news but do you think you can stop Apple telemetry ? It's all imbedded in the OS. Apple, Windows. Wake up you buy a laptop with the CPU and RAM solder to the MotherBoard. You buy gadgets that are monitoring you 24/7, phones , TV, Fridge even the laundry machine. They got like this because ppl supported them.
Folks you should've stopped supporting those companies way back in 2012. Now they are full blown skynet

 

If you have to use windows they install Ghost Spectre the solution is out there.
Don't be a program become a USER.
My Pc for music is offline. For work/browsing/online surfing etc I'm on Linux (old laptop)
