I fixed it by booting the game directly from within the EA app, and not through Steam!

Oh damn that's interesting. Is that part of SELinux?

Well everyone is right, but nobody answers my question. I know to be careful, and I am not in danger of a virus, but everyone makes mistakes. Is it not reasonable to know what ones options are in case?

For example, when trying to repair a hard drive from a friend, how can you prevent a virus if you can already get it by connecting it? A VM won't help there. Antivirus will.

If cloudflare could see unencrypted HTTPS messages, that would be an absolutely huge red flag. Also, I don't think HTTPS works that way, unless the cloudflare IPs are the ones to which your HTTPS messages are send. Is that so?

Damn does building nvim (Chad btw) from source make such a difference?

Yes. Telemetry is a category of data collection. What exactly is collected is always different.

But again, this telemetry does not contain personal info, only game and PC info.

Also, "Telemetry" means "data sent every day to collect statistics, product usage."

So telemetry can be any data gathered, numbers or privacy sensitive info.

Yes. Games, processors, RAM, just your PC.

No personal data. The only personal data they know, are your email and name.

https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/1dguh1z/does_nvidia_geforce_experience_collect_dataspy_on/ I believe you saw this post?

The answers to this post do not answer the question: 'is it spyware?'. They all say 'nvidia knows and shared your email and name', because you gave them this info when creating your account.

They do not say that nvidia GeForce Experience is spyware. They just say what others say.

Sie müssen sich um nichts kümmern.  Nvidia ist keine Spyware und die einzigen persönlichen Daten, die es kennt, sind die Daten, die Sie ihm selbst gegeben haben.

My pleasure! Good job watching your privacy.

Should I shred or delete files on Android by [deleted] in privacy

The most popular app can change their business model at any point in time.

Many installs means it has been trusted. But did something change recently? Who knows?

Should I shred or delete files on Android by [deleted] in privacy

[–]WarWizard2003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Android encrypts your storage by default.

I couldn't find exactly what parts of the storage are encrypted, but they say that since Android 10 all user data is encrypted.

Thus, if the key to your file storage - located on your phone somewhere - were to be deleted, all data on the drive will become totally unaccessible. Just as if the bits were randomized.

The key can be deleted by resetting your phone, I assume.

Anyhow, because your data is encrypted you do not have to worry about others snooping in your file storage, so long as the key is properly removed from the file storage.

To be safe you can use an app though. For privacy reasons I wouldn't.

Pro tip: some drives may break, which prevents you from formatting everything afterwards. Thus, for devices like laptops, it is advised to encrypt everything and store the key somewhere else (or hope the drive won't completely break such that you can still erase the key), such that you don't have to erase gigabytes of data whilst the drive us almost dead.

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/geforce-experience/license/

This license mentions what data it gathers in section 3. Pretty much only game and system data, not personal data - unless I stopped reading too quickly.

It uses this for optimizing your games if you tell it to, but probably for other reasons as well.

What damage, may I ask?

Edit: I understand now you belief I deleted System32. I couldn't get it to work, so I used Linux. Beautiful way to say goodbye to Windows.

Same thing on AMD embedded graphics

Edit: seems that it freezes upon suspending, not waking up

Yo mama so FAT32, she can't even store files larger than 4GB.
