No shit I did, because it was a good point. It was your failure to pick up on it.
And no, no it isn't. The world is not so black and white. There's a fuck ton of gray. Do you even go outside?
2. Don't use social media

Don't use social media -You're frequenting a forum (social media) that you can't remove your time-stamped posts other than by editing them to be blank, and lacks https security encryption. So yeah you can use a vpn and all that, but it's easier for big brother to monitor your online activity here, and I'm pretty sure they can calculate based off of your online activities at least pin point your timezone. You can't always elude data mining, or so it seems.1. This forum is not social media2. This account is not in any way connected to any of my personal info

1. VPN at all times2. Oklahoma is a big fucking state with a lot of 19 year olds
Quote from: SoporificSlash on August 28, 2015, 09:22:11 PM2. This account is not in any way connected to any of my personal infoYour IP address is available to the staff, and you have your state of living on display. As well as your age. Unless you're lying/constantly using McDonald's Wi-Fi.
If he's using a VPN that's what IP address would be on file, because the VPN conceals his actual IP address.

The world is not so black and white. There's a fuck ton of gray. Do you even go outside?That had a lot to do with what I said. Thanks."MUH GRAY"Concrete examples. Now.
The source code really has nothing to do with it. 10 is just a variation of the NT kernel, and I have no doubt it's capable of stealing all of that. But there's no evidence it's being done.
You're telling me my operating system can detect software on the hard disk it's running off of?
No shit, man. And it absolutely should disable pirated software, that poses a security risk to the user and is also illegal.
Concrete examples? Look for yourself, the world is full of 'em. It's not my job to do your research.
I just wanted to run this little survey because I feel like the biggest downfall in the battle of this malicious practice done by corporations like Microsoft and Google is that people are totally okay with them doing it. Also for discussion value just general thoughts on data mining and privacy invasion practices done by software corporations.
