Gururu Just got the update last night. Soon as I learn why Copilot is bad I will uninstall it. Reply
abufrejoval Regulation is overdue, when the market can't just shift to another vendor like in DR-DOS days, ReactOS won't catch up very likely. M$' notion to treat Windows like a MetaVerse along Fruity Cult lines needs to be made illegal much more plainly, with a threat of company breakup if they don't renounce their current approach completely. Any AI that isn't loyal to the owner of the device alone and completely, is sabotage or a foreign agent, its creator be made liable for criminal and civil prosecution. Not having one included from the start is fundamental. Of course the same goes for an InternetOS aka browser. Reply
Neilbob For crying out loud. The ability to disable or uninstall it on that level of OS should have been available from the very beginning, without any restrictions at all. Back when I was a network administrator (as we emerged from the ice age), the last OS I worked with was Windows Server 2012 (R2), and there were almost no features that couldn't be disabled in the policy. Especially ones that could pose a potential security risk. Not quite the same versions described here, but still. And people wonder why power user level Windows has been falling well and truly under the shadow of Linux. Reply

psyconz I also am trying to think of which 'system' anyone has full control over 🤪 Technology lest of all. Nobody's PC, dog, wife, or heck, even their own body or mind, is in their full control. And the way things are at the moment, reality isn't as influential or important as whoever has the biggest mouthpiece. But I do know I don't want less control over something as powerful as tech, if I can help it. Reply

Microsoft OS's prior to Windows 11 and all Android phones. I don't use Apple too much so can't speak about IOS. Windows 10 and prior you can do these things if you know how. A third party tool called OOSU10 exists that makes it really easy. https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10 The existence of those tools is precisely why Microsoft went insane with locking in Windows 11 spyware. The data mined and advertisements displayed to a user is worth a lot more to Microsoft then selling the Operating System, and people using those tools to shut down Microsoft's data mining and advertisements caused them to lose revenue per user. Remember OEM's pay only a few dollars per license, and as such MS relies on selling that data to data brokers for it's real revenue stream. Android is a different situation as it's just a vanilla OS that phone manufacturers then use when building their phones. So while google does get data from google apps, it's leaves open the switches and API's for the phone manufacturer, or the user, to change this via something called Android Device Bridge (ADB). https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-2025-how-to-root-a-phone-a-complete-truthful-up-to-date-crap-free-and-no-bs-guide.4710038/ You go into the phone and on the developers settings you enable "Debug mode" or "Diagnostic mode", then plug it into a computer that has the android SDK installed. https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools Then on the connected computer you start up ADB and click accept on the phone and bam you are now on the linux command line as root. You can add / remove packages, change config files, reload boot firmware, you name it. Most users would never do this, but it is possible to those that want to. Reply
