Could Windows and installed apps upload all my personal files?


Could Windows and installed apps upload all my personal files?

Dear all

I have deleted Onedrive and disabled File system access in Privacy.

  1. I would like to know, which other ways that my personal files could be uploaded in a non-malicious non-hacker way?
  2. Just by using Windows, Microsoft could upload all my personal files to themselves if they would?
  3. Does every installed App / software have full access to my whole drive? How can I found out, how much access it has?

Thank you for your interest and reply

Best regards

Yes, every application has access to everything. The only exception are those weird apps that use the universal framework or whatever that thing is called, those need to ask for permissions. But most of the apps on your PC have full access to everything.

And Windows does collect and upload a lot of personal information and they could easily upload everything on your system. The same of course applies for the apps as well, they have access to everything except privileged folders (those usually don’t contain your personal data, but system files).

“Too Late” Jerome Powell, of the Fed, will be in Congress today in order to explain, among other things, why he is refusing to lower the Rate. Europe has had 10 cuts, we have had ZERO. No inflation, great economy - We should be at least two to three points lower. Would save the USA 800 Billion Dollars Per Year, plus. What a difference this would make. If things later change to the negative, increase the Rate. I hope Congress really works this very dumb, hardheaded person, over. We will be paying for his incompetence for many years to come. THE BOARD SHOULD ACTIVATE. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Stop stuffing your head with concepts of spirituality.

Lety Does Eating Jollof Rice With Fish From Royal Cuisine


Ended up on this very long and silly errand run that led me to Inglewood, somewhere I basically never go unless I'm dropping someone off at the airport. And so, I decided to make the most of my day by getting lunch from my favorite West African restaurant!

So...#Iran had some known enrichment labs, which were inspected more frequently than any other country, had known stocks of enriched uranium at a known level of enrichment, and was a loyal member of the IAEA.

#US bombed Iran's nuke program as they demanded it be stopped completely.

Now Iran has an unknown amount of enriched uranium at an unknown level of enrichment, in unknown locations, and is kicking #IAEA out of the country and cancel its membership.

UNDOUBTEDLY US WIN.
Right?

White House is pushing for the ceasefire agreement between #Zionists and #Iran.
"Zionists agreed to a ceasefire if Iran does not resume its missile attacks" claims #US official

"#Zionists started the war against Iran, not the other way around," says Iranian foreign minister.

Meanwhile, Zionists can continue their #genocide and #ethniccleansing in #Gaza unmolested while the world "celebrates" the "end of hostilities"

How much more hypocritical can we get?

A friend is building an app to help immigrants detained by ICE.

It's a web app currently, but is intended to be a mobile app.

Anyone have experience building and deploying mobile apps and interested in volunteering time to help a new app with a good cause?

Some notes from a third #velotrain2025 trip (continuing to insist that this is possible...), this time only to the South of France, connecting engagements in Marseille, Port-Vendres and Toulouse. Main challenge this time: the heat, indeed an early heat wave hitting all of France.

I started, this time, by cycling, from my doorstep, across the Col de Carabes, towards the Durance valley, passing Claps, in the fresh air of the morning hours.

in reply to Wolfgang Cramer

This col, reaching 1261m is not "hard", rarely more than 4-5%, and on the Drôme side mostly in the shade of trees, but temperature was going up, and my body wasn't quite ready for it. But I reached it, meeting only a number of fellow cyclists and some very few cars and motorbikes (this col is really not for them).

A heartfelt thanks to the motorcyclist who saw me sleep in the grass, turned around and asked whether I was ok!

I hear a lot of "ACAB", why don't I hear "APAB"? (P as in Politician)


Politicians make the laws, if people are being oppressed, its more of the politicians being the root cause of evil.

So... ACAB + APAB?

EDIT:

I'm using these definitions for the word politician: dictionary.cambridge.org/dicti…

noun. [UK] - a member of a government or law-making organization

noun. [US] - a person who is active in politics, esp. as a job

Well today I learned, that school board members are elected. I assume you're referring to the US?..

I'm 42 years old and just learned this today. I attempted to run a petition at age 15 for our school of ~1200 students to keep the pizza lunch line, and I got approximately 420 unique signatures.

I still actually have the signatures somewhere in a file drawer in storage. Back when I did this, I asked people where to turn in my petition. Everyone told me to go to the superintendent's office.

But nobody would actually tell me where the fuck that was, nor would anyone take me there ☹️.

I got more than a third of the students to sign my petition, but nobody would tell me where to take it, like what the actual fuck?

In 1953, the US helped overthrow Iran’s democratically elected prime minister Mohammad Mossadegh. He had pledged to nationalize the country’s oil fields – a move the US and Great Britain saw as threat to their control on oil from the Middle East. #Israel #Netanyahu #JewishHitler #warcriminal #Zionazis #Jewishterrorists #psychopaths #hasbara #OccupiedWestBank #Gaza #Palestine #genocide #Iran #Iraq #CrimesAgainstHumanity #USA

Israel-Iran war live: Trump declares ceasefire in ‘12-day war’; Israel reports three dead in Iranian missile attack
theguardian.com/world/live/202…

"The Israeli military says it has identified more missile launches from Iran – that would make it the fifth wave of missiles to target Israel this morning."

#Iran #Israel

Iran has launched 6th wav of missiles towards Israel, 15 minutes pass the "agreed" ceasefire.

The missiles are mostly hypersonic with large payloads (Fattah/Fateh, Kheybar, Khorramshahr and Omid).

Israeli censorship does not allow any report to come out from Tel Aviv or Haifa, but multiple heavy explosions were heard in both cities.

@benda
The cell they caught in Rey-Shahr said that they have been working on this for 10 years and the teams were sent to Iran last year to setup factories to put together FPVs and suicide drones.

I just hope IRI does not turn into the same barbarian reaction to this attacks as they did to Marsad offensive by MKO in 1988.

I lost family, friends and relatives to the mass execution of political prisoners that followed in August/September 1988.

SCOTUS greenlit DHS deportations to third countries—with no notice, no hearing, no protection
Sotomayor: “a gross abuse of… discretion.”
DHS flew migrants to Guantanamo, then El Salvador
Others were dumped in Libya and South Sudan—ignoring direct court orders

The law required notice and a chance to seek protection from torture.

DHS defied it

Now the Court did too.

"SCOTUS allows Trump admin to deport people to random countries with no notice"

Honestly still can't believe that I wrote this headline today, let alone that the U.S. Supreme Court's majority did so.
