NOMBEDES Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Your TV knows more about you than the IRS. Sad but true. I have Amazon music and they send me a playlist of recommended tunes every week. The upside is that I get some good recommendations. Downside is they know I like ABBA! Damn!

KeenObserver Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I would think that if the tv automatically reported back to the station, that would put Nielsen out of business. Boycott Warner Link to post Share on other sites

You can subscribe to a service that tracks and reports sites that are malware, and automatically shut them out. And the logging tells you a lot about what your computer is doing behind your back and who is trying to access. I use Suricata with my pFsense box.

KeenObserver Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Microsoft has upped the recommended memory for Windows 10. As CPU's become more powerful operating systems become more bloated. One has to wonder how much of the increased memory usage and bloat in the operating system is due to the operating system recording metrics of the user and sending them back to the mother ship. Large data bases and commercial users cannot afford to waste computing power on this spyware. They must be able to remove it or it isn't there in the commercial versions.
