Luckily I use my phone for most tasks and can avoid my two remaining windows machines unless necessary.

Also I doubt it's just me but every other day when Windows forces an update "restart and update/shutdown and update", upon restarting I am again prompted by Microsofts dark patterns for all the telemetry, defaulted to ON (location, biometrics, etc).

Literally every second update windows wants to re ask me and I have to either select "skip for 3 days" (comical) or walk through each step and toggle each one off...

Unfortunately Microsoft no longer innovates and can only continue to try to data mine but they are fighting a losing battle.

At this point revenge may be best to just use a cracked windows install on a VM using a dummy email. You want telemetry, have at it ;)

Sure your phone doesn't have any google/apple accounts, right?

Apple is pretty awesome at privacy compared to everything else.

The grass isn't greener. With the amount of advertising, tracking, and upselling on iOS and Android, our smartphones are significantly worse than Windows 11.
