I fucking told tfmonkey a long time ago that they would eventually do this but he called me crazy, now he is worried bc they might actually do it and I am here to tell you that if they are able to do this to you then that must mean they are spying on you way more than you actually think they are.
You're right @37712 , if you use Windows it's not your computer, you're a renter. It's been possible for Microsoft, & therefore all 3-letter agencies, to remote control in since at least Windows 7.
And it's been phoning home telemetrics for alot longer than that. Also, Intel chips have out of band privileged access to EVERYHING through it's TPM which is why you also need to be choosy with your hardware.
None of this proves you're not crazy though.
@37712 fake news.

You cut off what benefits you so it's free market share for Linux.
