Get windows 10 iot ltsc, it won’t do that
Comment on Anon notices what they've taken from us
doctorcrimson@lemmy.world 5 months agoNah, fuck off. The cloud is a place you don’t have any control over. I remember getting angry when Windows 10 LTSC got an update that added an online backup system. I do not pay them to take a copy of my important work and documents, they should pay me for that privileges. Furthermore, it’s an absolute disgrace to see that on an LTSC copy to begin with, it’s meant to be the barebones OS that you purchase at a premium for minimal updates and changes as well as extended service lifespan.
Fuck OneDrive, I store locally and I make local backups. What I own is mine without exception.

Eww, Internet of Things, so Gross, why don’t I just install a real bridge next to the drawbridge over the moat around my house? Welcome all the attackers in!

I didn’t think this would be controversial, but apparently it isn’t widely known. Win10 Iot Enterprise LTSC 2021 is a version that gets security support until 2031 but will not receive feature updates, ads or any other those things. It’s essentially what windows should be.

That’s exactly the same as what Windows 10 LTSC claims to be, except with IoT included. They’re virtually the same product.

additionally I exclusively use local windows accounts. Passwords are to keep your nosy parents, partners, or kids away from your machine, if a hacker has physical access to your computer it’s jover, no amount of microsoft accounts will save you

I was recently refurbishing a laptop for a friend and I got frustrated that I had to make sure it doesn’t connect to internet during the OS setup or I’d have to start the install over again. Online accounts only stop forgetful owners from getting in, does nothing helpful.
