I got mine on a reduced privilege User Windows account, Installed Firefox, saved passwords to profile with sync to phones, Installed uBlock Origin extension for FF, hid all extensions so they can’t disable, I also wrote a DOS script to nuke all system caches/history on reboot. Not a peep from them in over a year. If they hit a website with a popup, I’ll just tell them it’s a virus and do something else. It’s never an important site that ever has popups.

I dunno how many vacuum cleaners I’ve scrapped for free from damn near everywhere and 90% of them only have a mega clogged hose. 5 minute fix usually and I made my own skookum twisted wire reamer in 5 minutes with wire and a drill. People throw away good stuff without bothering with it and just buy a new one instead of saving themselves time and money by eliminating the obvious. If a vacuum design gets too complex, I simplify with sheetrock screws. Warranties are made to be broken by making it work yourself. The things you learn that way also helps other areas in life all around.
