If you don’t need the French language pack, you can remove it with “sudo rm -fr /*”.

Sadly, Firefox mobile got rid of about:config, and I can’t find any relevant options in the regular settings.

You can disable this “feature”:

1. Visit about:config

2. Set “dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled” to false

Full disk encryption doesn’t help with this threat model at all. A rogue program running on the same machine can still access all the files.

The event I’m referring to wasn’t OP’s photo. Mine was back in 2004 or 2005, long before Win10 was released.

Maybe? If I recall correctly, this was Windows XP. Also the computer was owned by the school, so the students didn’t have admin access.

I saw that happen once in a big presentation.

There was a team of students presenting their work to ~200 people. Right in the middle, a pop-up says updates are finished and the computer needs to restart. It has a helpful 60-second countdown, but “cancel” is grayed out, so all they can do is watch.

I was only in the audience and I still have nightmares.
