Rob Braxman Tech How to Get Rid of the Microsoft Account in Windows 11

Make sure to backup first! - I've found that windows system restore does not really work when you need it to! - Macrium Reflect and AOMEI Backupper are pretty good for backups/cloning your complete drives - I usually create a full system image plus a usb with the recovery tools before doing these kind of tweaks (need usb to boot if anything goes wrong) Windows 7-8-10 - Privacy Tools - Disable Telemetry,Bloat,etc... Blackbird Don't want Windows spying on your every move? Don't feel like spending hours messing with privacy settings that ultimately still result in data collection? Think your private information belongs to you and no one else? Or maybe you just want a faster PC and don't like all the new "features" Windows has to offer. https://www.getblackbird.net/ Windows Update Blocker v1.7 https://www.sordum.org/9470/windows-update-blocker-v1-7/ Windows Spy Blocker https://github.com/crazy-max/WindowsSpyBlocker Hardentools https://github.com/securitywithoutborders/hardentools --- Debloat Windows Script Chris Titus Setting up the perfect windows installation - Youtube Win Toolkit - Strip down the OFFICIAL and build your own ISO With this tool you can integrate Addons, Drivers, Gadgets, Language packs, Modified Files, Theme Packs, Tweaks, Silent Installers, Updates.

Great song with some vocals by Michael Jackson. But what was it supposed to be about? Paranoia, or Targeted Individuals and Gangstalking?

I've just been told this: - A bunch of guys who are Computing Science graduates got together and tried to poke their heads into the Windows Operating System - They wanted to know what it is doing - is it spying, is it listening, is it sending documents or files your create to the U.S.? Is it always watching? - They tried and tried and found that it is PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to analyze how ANY ASPECT of Windows actually works Windows appears to be written in a VERY STRANGE, HEAVILY ENCRYPTED AND STRONGLY OBFUSCATED PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE WHICH OFFICIALLY DOESN'T EVEN EXIST AND WHICH MAKES UNDERSTANDING HOW WINDOWS DOES ANYTHING PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE IT APPEARS THAT MS WERE SO OBSESSED WITH NOBODY EVER SEEING INTO WINDOWS THAT THEY WROTE IT IN A STRANGE LANGUAGE NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT AND NOBODY CAN EASILY DECIPHER THERE IS NO WAY TO SEE WHAT WINDOWS IS DOING AT ANY GIVEN TIME

A very, very severe security flaw/backdoor in the F5 network security technology used by 48 of the Fortune 50 companies and hundreds of other large organizations worldwide has left their entire computer networks wide open to intrusion by snooping hackers. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.techtarget.com/searchsecurity/news/252518097/Critical-F5-vulnerability-under-exploitation-in-the-wild%3famp=1 Hackers who use the exploit can penetrate deep into secured corporate/organization networks, take full control of the machines and software on those networks, jump over onto adjacent networks normally impossible to access over the Internet, and steal or wipe massive amounts of private data and also the system itself.

Websites would push an authentication request to your phone(number). This sounds like a sneaky way of killing anonymity by tying ALL LOGINS to your phone number. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/05/apple-google-and-microsoft-want-bluetooth-proximity-to-replace-the-password/ The standard is being called either a "multi-device FIDO credential" or just a "passkey." Instead of a long string of characters, this new scheme would have the app or website you're logging in to push a request to your phone for authentication. From there, you'd need to unlock the phone, authenticate with some kind of pin or biometric, and then you're on your way. This sounds like a familiar system for anyone with phone-based two-factor authentication set up, but this is a replacement for the password rather than an additional factor.
