Will we soon be forced to pay to use OUR computers?

 IS BIG TECH MOVING TO REQUIRE MONTHLY FEES TO USE OUR DEVICES?

THE CLOUD IS ACTUALLY JUST THEIR SERVER



At the beginning of this year it seems Microsoft has rolled out their new scheme to milk computer owners of new fees and also to capture every bit of information on your computer. It seems that if you now have Microsoft on your computer you need to open a Microsoft account before you can open your computer. While it is advertised as a free service, I suspect they will in the near future, once everyone has agreed to store all their information, require a monthly fee for this service. The cloud is in effect their servers. I expect we will soon see new computers with less memory, that will require storing information on their servers. They want access to this information.

At present it seems that there is a workaround to avoid this account, but I suspect most just go along and agree to give Microsoft access to  their information. One must wonder if they are already accessing your information when they seem to be regularly upgrading things that seem to effect your computer. I have noticed that after an upgrade sometimes their is a new problem with some features then a solicitation to buy some new software or download some new driver. I for one am in the process of exploring other options than Microsoft on my next computer.

It is already well know that they sell billions of dollars of information to governments in this country and who knows who else. The problem may be that all computer operating systems will attempt to cooperate in this direction.

We no longer can buy software on a disk. In fact we no longer own what we buy, it is downloaded and cannot loaded on our other devices. I understand the video game market, much of it controlled by Microsoft is only an account that allows you to access these games and to operate online requires a monthly fee. None of your information can be stored by you, so in effect, they own it. 

It appears that is where this is going, unless people realize what is happening and push back to demand that when we buy a computer or software it is now ours to use as we please without someone else demanding access and additional fees.

  1. Just as our new cars track us, so do our phones and our computers. This "cloud" crap is just another way of knowing everything about us and boobus Americans will flock to it like a moth to a flame because "it's so convenient"...BULLSHIT, people, wake up and smell the coffee. Another plan is to track us via our cell phones and charge us by the mile. 1984 is and has been here... wake up, people!!!
    Of course, if you read, listen and pay attention, you will know that "geofencing" is just fine for that purpose and tracking down J6 folks, but it's just not quite accurate enough or good enough to track ballot droppers and the Fani Willis/Nathan Wade fiasco... People, we're being played!!!... by our own government....
