Loading ...Thats precisely the reason I run three operating systems win 10 where everybody knows who you are and what your doing because microsoft sells everything you do to them ..its called information mining.It sounds harmless until government wants to exercise greater control over you !Then I use Apple iphone where the same thing applies ..you are for sale ..everything you do is information mining…Then I run a Linux operating system when I want some privacy and greater security from hackers ,russians,chinese ,N.Koreans looking to steal something .It separates the operating system from programs unlike microsoft where security is non existent unless you pay somebody for protection.Apple does what microsoft does and locks you in to thier system so as to extract the most money from you.Everything is extra ..data base, spreadsheets,word processors and everything you do is sold as information mining ,for anybody that wants to target you to sell you something .and now they are sharing some things about you so you cant use one of them against the other .The other system Linux ..Unbuntu in particular was designed to be open source programming was donated and developed by contributors to stop the monopoly by microsoft and Apple and the constant money grabbing.The word processor is free,as is spreadsheet,data base and photo shop program called GIMP that works every bit as good as “photoshop” the $600.0 program for free .updates are maintained ,virus are just about non existent by design.Ever user has a password and each has private info that is not co mingled with operating system or other users.everything is private.To make changes to the operating system requires password and can only be done by an administrator that has authority to do it.
I sign on as a user ,not as administrator when I use it .So if I go to a dodgy site by mistake ..nobody there can change my operating system or enter another users info.each requires a password…if any virus are encountered are confined to that user only.Its like isolation during an epidemic ..it works.In ten years I have encountered none .my financial accounts are done on linux only .unlike Apple I can use streaming stock quotes via java .Unlike Microsoft everything I do is confined to the user only and not part of an operating system.Linuxs works on all Banks and Brokers I have used.When used with GUEST priviledges everything you did or visited is erased when you sign off.Everything you did as a USER is confined to that user only.Nobody mines my movements except the Browser I choose to use and I can stop all advertisers If choose to ..some give me free access to a program if I allow an ad at my discretion like stockcharts ….Ubuntu(linux) works with all printers and older scanners too when Microsolt wont because they require to buy a new scanner because its “outdated”…I even use OOMA telephone system run through internet via one computer ,it gives me a “house phone” with call blocking unlimited calls anywhere . My phone bill $ $10/month ..no taxes, no line fees ,no bullshit fees from the local and state call answering recorded message recording ..its an internet phone with 911 service included.If power goes out I use my cell phone..
I dont get bothered with random callers for political crap because I dont answer it,if someone wants me ..leave a message, Dr.s included and if you are a personal friend you got my cell #.I dont give out my cell #
Political calls NEVER leave a message..If there is a message a RED light blinks ..nobody wakes me up !
Im up at the crack of noon everyday unless I want check the market a 9 am..
