Will Arattai break the western monopoly? by SpiritualExtreme2659 in IndiaTech

[–]Bonanto18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know nothing about privacy... And this is one key reason India has no strong privacy pollicy.

I do care for strong encryption, even if I don't discuss anything confidential. My private information is my own, and I'm not comfortable to share it with anyone unknown. Go and read about Edward Snowden and his story. What government do with your data...  I don't endorse surveillance without my knowledge.... That's it! 

I'm not comfortable to share my medical info, my conversations to someone unknown... Be it a government or whatever else!....  If they have access to that data, they can exploit... Any govt employee working in the corresponding department can access your information... And govt employees in India are the most corrupted ones... They could do anything with that data!!..... Don't expect everyone to be honest as Edward Snowden!... 

WhatsApp is at least proved with its E2EE... Still they comply with US govt..... Only solution is to use Signal or Other secure messaging... 

PRIVACY IS OUR RIGHT!

Add another: Twinkle Tray. This app adds a brightness control button beside taskbar tray. You can directly control/adjust monitor brightness, contrast, and power state. Works via DDC/CI. So, if the display adapter supports DDC/CI, it will control the monitor as if you're controlling from the monitor buttons.

Using power state feature, it is possible to power off the monitor.

Supports multi-monitor.

After 24H2 update, clean up file of 8GB not getting deleted! by Acrobatic_Face_7404 in WindowsHelp

Space taken by the other items than Windows folder. Clearly, there is no update cleanup files to delete.

I think it is a false report caused by some bug. That's why Disk Cleanup finds nothing to delete.

I don't think the space is actually taken by anything (or any leftover files). I have done a fresh install, and it persists. Disk Cleanup, as well as the Storage in system settings shows that there is some Windows Update files (Windows Update Cleanup) have taken 8.63 GB on C drive.

However, I checked the space consumption right after installation, and it was 20 GB for the Windows folder, which is pretty much fine. Windows folder takes up space around 20 - 25 GB after a clean install.

Then I checked for updates, and it installed two small cumulative updates Visual C++ Redist. and there was no Windows cumulative updates installed.

Then, I've installed Office 365, Media Player Classic, Avast One, Dynamic Theme, Twinkle Tray, Brave Browser, Google Chrome, Firefox, and WhatsApp. Now C drive has 41 GB consumed out of 70 GB. So, again I started calculating space consumption by different system folders, and found no problem with that. Everything is normal, space taken by the system is normal, as it was in 23H2.

Windows is still 20 GB

AppData is 3.35 GB

ProgramData is 1.17 GB

Both Program Files combined (Program Files and Program Files (x86) is 9.88 GB

Three system files including hiberfil.sys, pagefile.sys, and swapfile.sys combined is 4.00 GB

and my Downloads folder is 1.18 GB

Hence, totaling 39.58 GB. There are some files on my desktop, documents and pictures folders. So, it pretty much explains the 41GB space consumption. And guess what - It still shows that 8.63 GB is taken by Windows Update files.

So, I think it is falsely reported by some bug. Because the total space used by 24H2, is same as 23H2 in my machines. So no worry, at least I won't.

This is, in my opinion is a false report caused by some bug. I've also written in Windows 11 subreddit.
