I really need to system wipe my computer but I am too stubborn I might forget to save something important, passwords, programs, pictures, etc.
does anyone have any suggestions on things that you wouldn't think to save first?

p.s linux gaye

Linux is the optimal anime watching operating system.

wo WOOOOOOOW WOOOOOOOOW qwow look at this fucking dumb shit fucking am*RIUcAN dog thread WOOOw woew WHEWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWh HHHHEEEEEEUHGH HHHHHHHHHEHUG HHHHHHEUW WHEWWWWWWWW lweaogtlaoe WEUGPFPFPFPFPPDPTF wow reddit

I genuenly still see no reason to install any linux/open source OS. I don't understand "what is so wrong" about Windows

you're funny

HALT, AM*RICUNT!

windows is a literal botnet. it logs absolutely everything you do. that's why people don't like windows

why do you care?

you're kidding right? your personal information is being stored and in some cases sold. if police really wanted to, they could turn up to your house with a folder full of literally every single thing you've ever done on the internet.
you're spied on every single second that you have a connection. you have no privacy.

like the Police or ANYONE give a single shit
give a single case where this "private information" has been used in a case that wasn't evidence for crime

Even if Windows weren't a proprietary botnet, GNU/Linux would still be far superior.

It used to be less than user-friendly, but in its current state, it offers a better desktop experience than Windows, even for the tech illiterate (though that's partially because so much is done from the web browser now, rather than "apps").

you must be retarded. the cyber criminal underworld steal this information literally every single day because companies like microsoft are retarded and sell your information. your credit card, license, or other info could end up on some darkweb website for sale.

and have you literally never heard of fucking snowden? lmao

>when you know this but don't care anymore so you use windows anyway because lol games and battlenet and you're sick of making wine work

you are a fucking pansy.
Wahh wahhh muh privacyyyy!!!
the entire quo of "internet privacy" was made up so companies can sell you useless software to stupid people like you.

you are an actual retard though holy shit lmao

ask me how i know you're underage

>/>8463638
sounds like (Y*u)

fuck my thread went off topic shit shit SHET

you're a naive little boy. you'll understand when you graduate from highschool, don't worry.

ask me how I know you browse reddit.

but really though what foreseeable consequences do you see to information retention on windows (the fact that it shouldn't happen notwithstanding)

you sure showed me. i do red team for a cybersecurity research platform. i literally build the security software for the computers that you use and know what i'm talking about.
it's okay, you'll have an inkling of understanding of what goes on behind the scenes after your balls drop.

your self boasting makes me take you less seriously

>useless software
linux is free, user

Linux users are actually fucking vegans, seriously.

I'm talking about VPNs and Proxies.

lol, you called me a redditor to try and make what i said look not factual; so i said that i'm a software engineer to counter that. it's not self boasting. you are slow.

being in the career you have will obviously make you more "concerned" with topics in your field whether they matter or not.

you are a bit boastful
it seems like this website attracts your type

Unironically this. I'm an avid user of the "deepweb" and I can assure you that nobody gives a shit about your pocket change or what porn or anime you watch or what racist things you say online. The letter agencies are busy with other things to worry about some nobody online with literally nothing.
The whole internet privacy and muh botnet meme needs to die. You sold your sold the minute you clicked accept and didn't read anything.
People who use ANY device are no better than the dumb people I give loans to. You didn't read the terms and conditions, you blindly hit accept to get past it and now you're whining about when your information gets sold.
Shut the fuck up about this internet privacy shit and stop looking at kiddy diddling.

how does that make any sense? being in my field only allows me to understand these concerns better, not make me more concerned about them. it's only a matter of high concern in this case because the threat is constant and can happen at literally any moment to anybody, including myself, or you.

>I'm an avid user of the "deepweb"
why
there's nothing interesting on there

>you are a bit boastful
no i'm not, you are just interpreting what i said this way. cybersecurity is hardly something to boast about lol.

and there it is, the fold. come back when you can make an argument, sweaty.

your entire mindset on the situation is to deny any reason and rely on "facts" done from "research" created by influential people and not actually thinking "wow this actually DOES NOT MATTER"
I am done with the arguement, you will never change, none of you retards.

what's it take to get a (you) in this fuckin thread jesus

we aren't talking about those things in particular ending up on the deepweb lmao, i was just making the point that literally everything you do can be saved. credit cards and other sensitive data is abundant on the deepweb, as i said in my argument. perhaps try following the conversation.

you aren't changing minds because you're not even making coherent arguments. calling me a redditor and saying "neva happens!" doesn't prove my points wrong. you are a genuine retard.

you aren't doing any much different.
end this

here you go

here you go

hahahaha, i'm only acting the way i am in response to your "reddit lord" cop out. no point arguing against a brickwall, as they say.
bye idiot

It's fun to wander around old dead sites. Like if you were spelunking or exploring an abandoned city. So much weird stuff.
I really like SIN (Strategic Intelligence Network) when it was still up. Got a lot of prime reading material out of that.
Pretty sure I'm on a list somewhere but I have plants to make a small nuclear device if I was smart enough to know nuclear physics. Unfortunately I am not so it's just neat to have.
And? I can packet sniff your CC from your wifi with Cali-Linux and Airsnort but you'll still use wifi on your phone or the mobile data. You won't turn off your wifi but you completely lack the awareness that your phone can be hacked from your pocket.
Literally everything you do yes is saved and sold for one purpose. TO SELL YOU SHIT. It's all for ads and marketing purposes. You know what I get to peruse at work? A spreadsheet that tells me where ad revenues would be maximized at what time for what customers. That way I can go in and make sure to buy ad time on their favorite sites.

>twitter
>instagram
>4 fucking chan (yes it's on my list I know this because I've given at least 4 anons with Jow Forums passes loans)
There's really nothing malicious. If they wanted to bust you then they would. They'd be busting me right now for being a (((terrorist))) with the information I have stored on my computer alone and I have glow niggers IN MY OFFICE watching what we do (because we fuck up A LOT) who know what I'm into.
They don't give a fuck about you unless you're a hardcore islamic radical or involved in pedo shit. Straight from a glow nigger themself
"We don't really scan every bit of information down to the last detail that would cost too much time and money. Instead we have a system that looks for keywords that are backed by different algorithms to determine terrorist behavior and flag persons of interest. If we're interested in you we'll knock on your door."-Glow nigger

whats going on here? the last four days i visited Jow Forums, a minor character from the yuruyuri episode i just watched shows up here
how are you guys doing this?

we aren't talking about hackers in the wild, we're talking about the companies themselves not caring for your information and sensitive data being put up for sale due to this. obviously people can hack your phone, these points are pretty irrelevant - or maybe i'm just not getting your point?
i don't know why you brought up glowniggers as well, because once again that point was just to give you an idea of how much information is stored lol.

and yes, literally every bit of information is saved to clouds; that glownigger is obviously full of shit hahahaha. i've worked on exploit variants for the government before when i was doing freelance work; they stockpile the fuck out of these vulnerabilities and don't warn companies about them for the sole purpose of taking information OTF. one of these exploits has been leaked before as well - Eternalblue. Google it.

see this OP? this is what you should've been doing lmao

ur lack of information security has led u down a dark path

delete anime
copypaste everything else, 32gb flash should be enough

Here's a simple question.
Can you really stop it? The answer is no. No matter how much you hide they can still get at you. They will TAKE your information because you GIVE it willingly every time you use the internet.
You gonna go off grid? Fine. Do it. That's the only way out.

its literally the easiest way and you can download all the weebshit back anytime if you want
