Bet you wouldn't be downvoted if it was any other country :-).

I don't like the Russian government, but they have a point - Windows 10 borders on 'insane' when it comes to the user data it shares "anonymously". Plus it helps the open source communities...

Then again, I don't trust Android and Google Docs apps that want access to my files, information, contacts, microphone, and more...



I use an Android Note 4, but I don't install many apps. I use a web browser instead for Facebook, Twitter, and many other sites instead of installing apps. I do this because of the permissions many apps require, even though they don't need some permissions to support their functionality.


I'm also surprised at how many apps need to run in the background. Notepads, music players, file explorers, an expense manager - why would they need to run all the time if I don't even use them and haven't set up any syncing.

Not to mention that Google Play Services is draining my battery like crazy by using GPS and keeping the CPU awake for way too long...

1Password? LastPass? Nah we don't know anything about the state of the art.
