> "Pitch" is not a contract. But false advertising is definitely a thing one can sue over. And bait and switch might be subject to FTC fines.

Binisoft Windows Firewall Control is quite good.

Even with Enterprise edition it is very difficult to disable all telemetry. The lowest official setting for telemetry is "security" which still sends data to Microsoft (see https:/…

Yeah, that's pretty bad blaming one employee when a single security hole on a single server resulted in the loss of personal information for 146 million people.

Here is the list of installed applications: http://imgur.com/a/mdrTv Also note that the only third-party software running at the time was wireshark, DNSQuerySniffer, and Glasswire.…

Public dumps mostly from the last 5 years, but some as old as ten years

Actually three of my own passwords are on there, I left them in

That is a key point--that no system can ever be secure as long as the host has some way of intercepting messages. The fact is that no matter how secure Levison makes the system, th…
