Magnetic North posted:If the Win10 surveillance is not worse than what is already unavoidable in using services from Google and Facebook, then I suppose I don't care. If it is somehow worse, i suppose if I had to, I could make the jump to Ubuntu. The problem with this plan is that Canonical has pushed Ubuntu to become eerily similar to Windows 10 in this respect. You must opt-out of some annoying OS data vaccuming on there as well.. https://fixubuntu.com/ Just keep in mind that its always good to do some research and check the privacy settings on your OS from the get go.

P-Value Hack posted:Any good suggestions for online harddrive backup services? $5 a month seems like a cheap way to store and continually update a copy of my harddrive on ~~the cloud~~, and with an additional spare harddrive I'll use intermittently when I'm not lazy to backup, it seems having both physical and external backups to be a good thing. But, something about it in terms of security makes me want to make sure I pick a reputable service. You might consider taking a look at Tarsnap: https://www.tarsnap.com/ Their pricing is pretty good, considering they don't screw around in terms of encryption/key management.

Loving Africa Chaps posted:anything else obvious i'm missing? Just a few more things to consider: - make sure UAC settings are at highest level - consider installing EMET: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2458544 - set Flash browser settings to "click-to-play". Better yet, straight up uninstall Flash
