And it's pretty easy. I have a few accounts on Thunderbird and I can drag and drop e-mail directly from one account to another, I think they are .eml files. You can also have local accounts just for storage.

The lowest telemetry setting level supported through management policies is Security.
[Security Security data only. 0]
Information that’s required to help keep Windows, Windows Server, and System Center secure, including data about the Connected User Experience and Telemetry component settings, the Malicious Software Removal Tool, and Windows Defender.
The Security level gathers only the telemetry info that is required to keep Windows devices, Windows Server, and guests protected with the latest security updates. This level is only available on Windows Server 2016, Windows 10 Enterprise, Windows 10 Education, Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise, and Windos IoT Core editions.
It works great for me.
Oh, and if you start digging you'll get even more angry. Things you trust without thinking twice (not really but you get the idea) is also compromised or doesn't have a practical alternative: hardware, TPM, certificates, your smartphone hardware and software, ∞
(I'm no expert, I just like to complain about it)
I know Logitech's software also makes network calls but I never bothered looking what it is, I just block everything. At least it doesn't ask for a login, it can save locally or in the on-board memory.

There's Ubuntu Phone, KDE Plasma, Copperhead and others but they don't feel like a good solution. The problem is always the same: no apps. It doesn't matter if I can install 99/100 apps I need but the one I can't is a messenger one of my clients requires me to use. Or if I can't really rely on a compatibility layer like MicroG, since Android is not that open anymore.
I wonder if it's possible to dual boot without root and also keeping encryption on, that way I can have a safe option if anything breaks.
Damn, why is it so hard to have control over your things these days. It wears me down.

Off-topic: You go in one of those Linux boards and they all say it's so easy to do it. I mean, yes, I can follow instructions and make it work but it's so cumbersome for every day usage if you want to use a Windows guest. Death by a thousand paper cuts. I don't have the time or patience to use weird setups in my work desktop anymore. To think about it, I did some pretty crazy stuff a few years ago, I'm surprised I wasn't even fired back then. The Linux equivalent of betting your income on a Hackintosh.
Kinda like anything Linux related. Don't get me wrong, all my servers are using some variation of it, but when it comes to UX (I'm not talking about GUI) and desktop stuff (not only games but anything GPU related) I wish some things were more mature.
Isn't this option enterprise only? And it doesn't disable everything
I don't know what's the situation now but when I checked what a W10 enterprise installation leaked in a VM I was really shocked. Even after using a few tools, and the policy editor, I remember that even explorer.exe (the file manager I mean) was making network calls.
Not trying to spread FUD about MS, I'm tired of ALL telemetry, from apps to Apples. I would love to see some privacy advocating foundation or public service that released constant unbiased reports about what each OS version is collecting from you.
And, like I said before, if MS wants me to consider using Windows (outside of my daily job, that I have no other option), they should offer a PAID option with ZERO data collection. I don't care if you offer Windows for free in exchange for the user data, but I don't want any of it. And you can have my money for that.
The more I learn the worse I feel about my digital privacy and security. The one thing I do right now is to compartmentalize my accounts and services, but I can't help to think it's only stopping smaller fish from getting/triangulating my data.
Tin foil hat apart, I also don't like to give away my data for free.
I hope I can fully remove Google from my life in a few years.
Someone might link to one of my tweets from 2010 where "I want cloning to be legalized" (that's not me, just same username).
To be honest I enjoy when customers/developers are kicked in the face like this, by big companies. It's a good lesson to learn and might even push people towards open solutions and formats.
- Use of mysql_ functions (This extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5.0, and it was removed in PHP 7.0.0. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used)
- Using the user input directly in the query instead of binding, using prepared statements, or at the very least casting to an integer (don't do this)
- (besides mixing multiple layers) Possible whitespace problems in the output validation (if you're using JSON), you want most php code to be "validated" (like using json functions), to have proper headers, to output types correctly (like booleans). This is also why you should never use PHP's closing tag, except for things like pure PHP templating, it's even in the PSR-2:
> The closing ?> tag MUST be omitted from files containing only PHP.
Not really the case here but you get the idea. It's like you're using a "html view" to output JSON API stuff.
- Possible "Undefined index", or worse, at $ar["name"], $ar["location"]
- Having to write some ugly conditionals if you have more than a single result and need to end the sequence without a comma or do any kind of transformation
- Trying to save vertical space by using expressions in the same line, sacrificing readability
- No error handling. What if the DB connection fails?
- Output is not valid JSON
> What I think most people are missing about PHP is the incredible ecosystem that emerged in the recent years (especially with Laravel)
I would replace that last bit with: "especially with Symfony and Laravel". And composer, and all the changes made in 7.x, and lots of libraries that people build on top of it and made all of this it possible.
This is a good talk (Symfony's "creator") about the PHP ecosystem:
