2 main reasons in my view:

  • windows is the de facto standard for desktop ans users management. So each corp has at least one guy used to the interface to dofirst-level debug
  • windows comes with support, not linux. So corps don't want to employe one Linux admin "just in case". That's the main reason I keep hearing from sysadmins I know

It's possible, I've been tricked last year by a similar attack (the sneakiest attack possible to target privacy people, imho).

I praise IT Security for putting so many safeguards, sandboxes and verifications!

It misses the most important information: why.

The CNIL (French privacy regulator) slapped Discord in October last year because they never deleted accounts (hi GDPR).

Since then, all tech companies are hurriedly designing a plan to mass delete inactive accounts.

TL;DR Both are crap and don't respect your choice when opting out. iOs is even (a tiny bit) worse than Android, as info of nearby devices are being also sent.

Tried the quiz. First question: an app request access to data, what do you do?

  • allow all
  • allow nothing and uninstall
  • all strictly what is necessary (e.g. location for Uber)

Boy, first question and you already fuck up.. Never heard about the concept of address?

Commonly refered by the sailors as "one spouse in each port"

I don't expose my dns, because I don't bother. I'm using Android phone, so I accept my phone is not private.

But a VPN could be a solution to get in touch with your dns.

Best advice. Set your own dns resolver, it's easy.
