It also provides Live traffic conditions, road incident reports, and automatic rerouting to find the best route Detailed information on more than million places.
However, Strava is a health and fitness app, but it also good as a GPS app. It lets you easily track your run or ride, and discover new routes — even find your way home with real-time activity mapping. You can also get key stats like distance, speed, pace, elevation gained and calories burned. The GPS and sensor data will show you the position and signal strength of the satellites, speed, pitch, acceleration, and accuracy.
In the case of an emergency, this app allows you to share your current location with friends and family. This GPS Navigation app contains a magnetic compass with true north for wilderness fans taking a journey through the woods.
Even, it lets you download current maps and stay up-to-date on current locations with the fast GPS. It also lets you make the reverse journey in an unfamiliar area without getting lost. Geo Tracker is able to record even when switched off, and very long tracks could be recorded without problems — you are limited by storage memory only.
This app leverages the latest technology to help you stay connected in real time to the people and the devices that matter most. So keep it, when you worry about your Android device. With it, you can get instant access to detailed maps of all countries from anywhere in the world! No web connection is required. It gives you map directions to a specific location, so never get lost again with this GPS navigation app.
And, includes some important features like Offline search, Location-sharing, and Auto-follow mode. Let me know your thought in the comment box about these best GPS apps for Android.
Great collection of cycling apps. But, I like the Cyclemeter app much more. I think you can add these apps also:. But, your information is very important to me and I will write about the best apps for Cycling very soon. So, other cycle lovers can be helped by that. By its existence and popularity, it spreads the message that there is such a thing as privacy, and that it's important. Installed manjaro Linux as a dual boot.
Loving it. Krasnol 46 days ago parent next [—]. Fedora is my preferred solution to this problem. The winning move is not to play. To fiddle with Windows' privacy settings, and expecting them to respect the users privacy, is like asking an abusive partner nicely to not be abusive.
Promises will always be broken, and in new and unexpected situations, the partner will act on their character, not on their promises. And Microsoft has a documented history of this behavior. With Windows Update removed, and no way to patch the system without a full reinstall, I would not use ameliorated. The complete unability to patch zero-days makes it very unattractive.
They recommend to just take admin privs from the default user. If you're this serious about privacy, use Linux. The ONLY update you can apply is simply to just reinstall the operating system. I do appreciate this kind of stripped-down build procedure, but fail to see a good-enough use case. It's a very fine line, but they're mitigated by not running stuff as admin , not just removing admin rights from the main user's account. With Ameliorated, people will still want to set up software as admin and install to Program Files, so if they take the advice from the FAQ, they might think they're fine just having a separate Admin account they use for UAC pop-ups to install the programs, while leaving their main as a standard user, which is indeed not going to solve any zero-days compared to users just being able to click 'yes' at UAC.
Generally, even the idea of using an OS downloaded from a random site big Linux distributions excepted is a security nightmare: you're trusting random, anonymous people not to put malware deep enough into the OS image where it won't easily be found. See XcodeGhost that got caught way after the fact. Same exact reason people should strongly consider staying away from LineageOS builds and other such things, where the dev team of half a dozen non-vetted anonymous forum users is responsible for everything running on your phone.
The "open-source means security because code gets vetted" argument only applies to big projects like Chromium, where hundreds of major corporations with world-class software engineers review, and contribute to the source code. Not to Lineage, where every phone model has its own build and dev team, and each build gets used by maybe a few hundred or thousand people, and reviewed by practically nobody. If there was one single Lineage build for all phones, I'd feel much more comfortable with it.
Though I have zero reason to distrust the Ameliorated folks, you generally never want to mess with software especially OSes downloaded from anyone other than the official vendor.
The risk of using this is much higher than running proprietary ShutUp10, which is already non-zero since it's proprietary. What a bunch corporate-authoritarian fearmongering BS. The community is NOT stupid. All it takes is one person to find out someone is trying to be malicious, and mass ostracisation will take place. For most of civilization we didn't need corporate overlords to tell us who to trust that's a very very recent development. How do you ostracise someone on the Internet if they're hiding behind pseudonyms?
It makes no sense to compare how we live and behave in real life with the Internet. People can get doxxed and ruined in real life. News spreads quickly. If you try to deceive a whole community of intelligent humans you'll get found out sooner rather than later, and unlike the slap-on-the-wrist lawsuit that at best companies get from trying the same, it is much worse for an individual. But of course, that doesn't fit the narrative I had hoped the risk for malicious actors would be a bit more serious than ostracisation.
Like, criminal persecution? That's illegal IIRC. It's not illegal, it's against the ToS of Microsoft that's something else, Microsoft is not a Lawmaker. How does this compare to TronScript? Can someone explain these two decisions for me? If you download the self-extracting. Even if it has to be distributed in a container, why not a simple ZIP?
And the subreddit literally has a thread with a table that contains download links and a torrent, why would you not include that in the readme? Smells fishy. The reason is present the software as open-source while in reality it's closed source with unimportant data files being published on GitHub. Lovely how on mobile, the reddit page is blocked: you need the app to access it. Once they don't allow these workarounds I am leaving reddit for good. Seriously though. I have old reddit UI always on by default and forget to keep adding the "old" prefix when posting links, so apologies.
I will leave reddit too if they remove the old version. LeoPanthera 46 days ago parent prev next [—]. TronScript is hugely overkill.
It makes changes that the vast majority of Windows users, even privacy conscious ones, would not want. I dread to think how many well-meaning sons and daughters have run it on their parents and relatives PCs and then left, leaving behind a system that is now a nightmare to use. Also, it takes literally hours to run.
I mean, what the hell? ShutUp10 is done in seconds. The people who normally get spyware can't operate it. It has a GUI. This is great! Thanks for sharing this. It's the easiest to understand and also makes it much easier to make smaller incremental changes.
Due to the "revert" toggles and heavy commenting, it's easy to roll back if anything breaks. The UI is confusing double negatives. Does Red "Disable Inventory Collector" mean that is enabled? Red, to me, usually means off on a toggle switch. It's explained in the help.
If only they would just use normal checkboxes, available on Windows since the 80s, instead of these stupid ambiguous slider-switches, they would be perfectly clear with the additional advantage that you can use them while colourblind. Check to disable, uncheck to enable. It's the result of another idiotic attempt at UI "modernity". Then again, the double negatives in Windows' own Group Policy Editor, where some if not all of this stuff is also configurable, are just as confusing sometimes; but there, at least the UI controls themselves don't add any more ambiguity.
Agreed, UI's may look "sexier" these days but they're less usable. TanakaTarou 45 days ago parent prev next [—]. Yes, this tool is very confusing to use. It is hard to tell if the slider has to be red or green to disable something. I have a mix of green and red and with most of them it say recommended "yes". So is my current setting the recommended setting because it say yes or does the yes mean the recommended setting is to disable it?
Is disable it then the green or the red knop? This app needs a complete UI redesign to be useful. I've been using this and similar tools for several years and the cognitive load for every single setting is infuriating. WithinReason 46 days ago prev next [—]. Gold competency: To attain a competency, partner must: Pass required exams and skill validation. Meet performance requirements. Pay the annual fee. GordonS 46 days ago prev next [—]. Microsoft has faced so much criticism for their approach to telemetry - I don't really understand why they don't at least provide the option to opt out of all telemetry.
So they'd take an insignificant hit to telemetry, but would gain a lot in goodwill. Any reason not to do this? Telemetry isn't just a tool for product managers, but it's also a goldmine for national security agencies more than just the NSA; Bing is unblocked in China for a reason.
Anti-government meme made with GIMP at a specific timestamp? One search through the telemetry logs to find who exported a file at that exact moment. Any data collection is also government surveillance unless proven otherwise. Shank 46 days ago root parent next [—]. With all due respect, the danger to a telemetry pipeline is almost always downstream effects, like court orders to intercept network data or human assets that knowingly exfiltrate data.
With no user accessible kill switch and with all teams operating with good intentions, you still stand to create scenarios like telemtry-for-surveillance, even if the probability of such a scenario is small in the grand scheme of things. Dylan 46 days ago root parent prev next [—]. Imagine believing that Windows telemetry contains such data. Imagine trusting Microsoft. Because they are pivoting to being an ad company like Google.
PaulKeeble 46 days ago parent prev next [—]. GDPR requires the opposite, data collection has to be opt in. I don't really see why the telemetry they capture doesn't count as peoples personal data honestly, it should given how much behavior information is available from it. You've just described how fingerprinting on the web works.
How is this not uniquely identifying information? Free as in beer. I wouldn't trust such an intrusive proprietary application on my machine from a vendor who doesn't need to care about its reputation. I can get behind that mindset, but if you're using Windows you've already given up your ability to introspect your system. Most Windows programs, both freeware and paid, are closed source, that's just the way that ecosystem functions.
These companies can exist the same way Winrar can exist: give people the tool for free, wait for them to want to use it at their business and sell the subscriptions there. Businesses are much more wary if pirated software than consumers so Winrar manages to survive to this day. To me, the amount of telemetry collected from modern crapware indicates a lack of trust in the product from even the developers themselves, which in turn proves to me that the product isn't very good on some level I might not be able to see.
Just because something is free doesn't mean it's not reliable if there are business subscriptions funding the product itself. It is possible to use windows as a mere kernel. Much desktop software on a modern linux distro is portable.
Even your example, winrar, can be replaced by peazip or 7zip. I actually saw some people using mostly FLOSS on windows as a step before full migration away from it. MauranKilom 46 days ago parent prev next [—].
Had the same thought, but upon investigation I don't see the incentive for the vendor to do something shady with it. They have a clear business model: Develop software for Windows that companies need.
They are not in the business of brokering user data or mining bitcoin covertly. This tool isn't even installed, it's "run once". To me, that's about as trustworthy as it could be. It is not a matter of having incentives. It is a matter that they can abuse and you simply have no way to check or control it. You have no way to check if this app is sending network requests back 'home'? That doesn't seem correct at all. For such an intrusive application there are many ways to hide it.
Not saying they do it, but I see no way to check it unless looking at the source code. MauranKilom 46 days ago root parent next [—]. Well, two possibilities that come to my mind: - Run it in a Windows VM. The program could detect this and not phone home in this case, of course.
This is virtually impossible for the program to circumvent. Is it possible to circumvent Wireshark, Procmon and the likes? Looking at the source code is pretty useless unless you compile it yourself Windows will most likely consider this malware, since it is effectively piracy removes activation checks and it does mess with Windows Defender by disabling a bunch of phone-home stuff like malware sample submission.
They technically don't have an incentive now, but if they ever get one, it'll be super easy to abuse this position to embed malware. It is not considered malware by Smart Screen from what I can tell. This is portable by the way, so I don't really see the point in worrying about rogue company takeovers. OrvalWintermute 46 days ago root parent prev next [—]. Windows won't treat this like malware, because, all the other similar products out there are not treated as malware either.
LinuxBender 46 days ago parent prev next [—]. I've not done any in-depth analysis of this app, but have used it on a machine that required windows 10 at the time. My family and friends have also used it. From a network perspective it does stop the "chattyness" of Windows I prefer the script[0] instead of the hacked ISO since you can install the script in later versions of W10 using your own preferred ISO.
Only caveat: There's no way of telling what versions of W10 it's compatible with I imagine it breaks some versions. You could also alter the. BAT script to enable updates, but you have to know what to remove. This project is cute, but I only ever used it for an offline sandbox for running low resource games and cracked versions of Photoshop. I am scared as shit to connect this thing to the Internet.
I only connect to receive updates. I have pointed out the good and the bad points for each of them. Spyic is the crown prince of Android spy software, and it is rightly so. This is why it deserves the 1 place on my list. To start with, it has over 35 features that can give you access to every bit of data on the target phone.
And when I say every bit, I mean it. There are very few apps who can offer these many features without requiring any root. Spyic achieves this with world-class developers using high-end technology. Pretty amazing, right?
I know. Here are just a few of the features that Spyic is equipped with. To know about the rest of them, you can check its demo here. Some of these features include:. There is a dedicated module for each social media app there is. You can see all of their messages here.
Call monitor shows you each and every call details made by our partner. This includes call duration, call times, and more. You can even record the phone calls through this. You can also view their recent locations with the date and time for every location in the past. Message monitor shows you all the incoming and outgoing messages of their device. In case there is anything fishy, you can flag it for later. Browser history monitor shows you each and every website that they have visited from their device.
If they have been shopping gifts for someone or booking hotels, you can find out through this. With the keylogger feature, you can find out the username and password of every social media platform they use. You can even view their deleted chats and messages as well.
Pretty cool features, right? Make sure you check it in action here for free! No app installation required.
You might be wondering that there are so many other apps in the list, so why is Spyic on the top slot. Well, Spyic has a lot of unique offerings and special features that make it the best app in the market. It can work no matter the target phone is rooted or non-rooted. I really like this as I know rooting compromises the app security. Further, if the phone is rooted, the target user is bound to find out.
When you are using Spyic, your spouse will never know that they are being monitored unless you tell them yourself. This is because of the stealth design of Spyic. To monitor an Android device, Spyic does require a one time access to the spouse phone so you can install the Spyic app in it. However, this app is less than 2 MB in size and installs within seconds.
Once this app is installed, it will vanish from the app menu. Only you can launch this app with a secret code. Further, the app runs in the background and does not consume any battery at all. Therefore, your spouse will never be suspicious. And when you wish to uninstall the app, you can do it remotely through the Spyic dashboard with a single click, no questions asked!
This saves you from much of the unnecessary hassle of software downloads. To see what Spyic dashboard looks like, you can see this free live demo. It will even show you how Spyic works. All you have to do is a few clicks here and there. Further, as you might have checked in the Spyic demo , the dashboard is the easiest thing you could use. All the features have separate tabs on the left side. Pretty elegant, eh? Of course, there are a lot of other benefits.
However, if I keep talking about Spyic I would be missing out on the other entries in the list. And I want to keep my promise. So you can yourself check out Spyic and get it from here if you want.
I know I said that nothing can be good as Spyic, and I will still emphasize on that.
