Your intros are the best when it comes to Cyber security and Online safety

Thanks 🙏 😊

Thanks for the kind words and the content suggestion!

@@AllThingsSecured Microsoft used to have, what many thought, were built in backdoors. Something the government wanted. Microsoft probably removed it, as they lost a $10 Billion military government contract, and Amazon picked up a $10 Billion NSA government contract.

Thank you, Aslam.

👍

Very, very true. And sad!

I’m glad to hear it, Marco!

😂 😆

Thanks for the suggestion!

Thank you! Does Amazon have any kind of presence in Saudi Arabia?

Won’t do what?

@@AllThingsSecured they won't let you close your Amazon account without documentation

Glad to hear it. Thanks.

This is a perfect response, Laika, thank you! The point here isn’t “Amazon is evil”, it’s simply to understand what is happening so you can make an informed decision about how you use the internet, shop for things, and protect your data.

My pleasure.

That’s so true.

I can see multiple directions you could be going with this. What are you saying?

@@AllThingsSecured you/we are being tracked on either device from my comment above before we click to go to Amazon or Facebook, etc, etc.

Re: Style Snap…I know, right? 😂 😆

Ive never heard of that one. What makes it so good?

​@@AllThingsSecured When used properly, Qubes will compartmentalize your all of your computer activities, with security being its top priority. It allows you to run your computer, as if it is any number if independent computers, keeping "this" activity from knowing anything about "that" activity (assuming you want those two activities to not see each other). You are limited only by the amount of CPU and memory in your computer, as to how many independent activities you can launch. The OS color-codes the windows, to help you keep track of what is what. It uses virtualization, and locks down the host's OS to keep iron-clad control over all virtual machines. It is not a VirtualBox type environment, although both use virtualization. My description is not giving the OS justice. It is an amazing feat of technical engineering. This video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qch-aKWrmNyRpXU.html ...will give you a very good view into how amazing Qubes is. Be forewarned: I suspect that after watching the above video, you will want to run Qubes. To speed things along, I recommend that you watch the video at 1.5x normal speed (even 1.75 works well), via youtube's "Playback speed" under the "Settings" icon in the lower right-hand side of the video's playback. Enjoy!

Edward Snowden publicly endorsed Qubes back in 2016, so that certainly says something about it. I don't use it personally, but do use the Multi Account Containers extension in Firefox, which sandboxes my browser data based on how I configure it - e.g., separate containers for work, personal, shopping, social media, banking, etc. I find it a nice compromise, and honestly pretty seamless once configured.

Thanks so much, Angel!

A lot of these options only appear on desktop, at least in my experience.

Ain’t that the truth.

Thanks, Sam!

They say so, and I choose to believe them unless they give me a reason to think otherwise.

@@AllThingsSecured Ok put it this way. You know that facebook let you recover your account after you "delate it", plus why would a company that focus so much on gathering your data want to delate it in the first place. They can still use that data on other things they own, or will own in the future.

I’m liking the new Edge, and although there are some concerns with Chromium, it provides a better user experience.

If you use a Kindle, there's no way to opt out of tracking what books you read, how much you read it and all the metadata associated with your reading habits.

You're not opening your network to outsiders to use.

@@AllThingsSecured Ok. But what information about ME does sidewalk allow someone to learn? If I turn it off, what aspects about me will be more private than if I turn it on?

Sorry yours got deactivated!

Interesting. Thanks.

Good question that I answered in a comment above and will answer more in a later video.

It’s certainly difficult to be anonymous, Anonymous. 😆

Ha! He’s made his billions. He’ll be ok.

How so?

@@AllThingsSecured well it’s pretty much the same like Apple Music would recommend the same stuff u listen to as prime music would recommend or like their Apple TV shows but really there’s nothing to hide unless your search history looks a little weird to them lol

@@AllThingsSecured oh btw always watching your stuff! It’s great I’ve recommended a lot of videos on your channel to my buddys

Thanks for the feedback, Mark.
