Microsoft admits Windows 11 has a GDID tracker with no off switch, first documented publicly in an FBI hacker complaint in c/technology@lemmy.world

None of the articles I've read about this explains how the GDID gets mapped onto the user's activity.

"Windows device carrying GDID g:6755467234350028 had visited the ngrok signup page"

So does it mean that Windows monitors your activity outwith just Microsoft services and sends all data to their servers? Is it maybe MS Edge history sync?

Can anyone break even AES-128 without years of supercomputer time?
