@BrodieOnLinux There it is once again. Linus Tech Tips is officially too big.

@BrodieOnLinux Linus has never worked an IT job in his life, while I bet a lot do, you shouldn't take advice about OS stuff from him, his channel comes from an entertainment POV.

However, not to single him out, you see a lot on privacy forums saying run X script to disable telemetry, which is always a bad idea anywhom.

I like LTT, I've watched him for around 10 years now, but as someone who works in IT, I watch it purely for entertainment, some parts are "correct" but not always.

@BrodieOnLinux The only good use-case for this is a local-only gaming machine, paired with a good firewall like pfsense (with good firewall rules), then a server that handles a steam-cache, and something like a squid proxy. Optimally, you'd be able to get slightly more performance out of your hardware, with all the fun of learning all about networking, ports, and rules.
I used to run AME in vm so I can game. Using Atlas os or windows AME as daily drive that is bad idea.

@BrodieOnLinux The way they went "no biggie" / "haven't researched" about a list of MAJOR security concerns is...yikes.

I'm a bit disappointed in Anthony, whom I respect for really knowing his stuff and usually going beyond just scratching the surface. Not this time, though

@BrodieOnLinux now i'm glad i unsubscribed to everything ltt related

@BrodieOnLinux I woke up, saw Chris Titus had blogged about this as well, and remembered a cool utility. WsusOffline could be used to manually handle updates.

I still can't condone using AtlasOS, but it's a un thought experiment to work around the issues.
