What it does

Worried about Windows 11 privacy? Download Privacy Protector for Windows 11 and 10 to limit telemetry, block tracking and reduce data sent to Microsoft.

Privacy Protector for Windows 11 / 10 helps you gain full control over what Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8 and Windows 7 are allowed to know about you, restricting the amount of collected information, blocking the system from tracking your activities and sending tracking and keylogger data to Microsoft. Rolling back from Windows 11 to Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 does not solve the problem, because Microsoft is pushing the same tracking components to those systems through Windows Update.

(I.E, I think OpenAI will beat Anthropic in the short term, etc...) However, I'm bad at converting these guesses into actual market plays I can profit from. As such, I wanted to make a tool that connects to the right APIs and launches a swarm of agent experts to generate related plays based on your prediction. The very first super shitty V0 MPV just has Polymarket/Kalshi bets, but I will be adding a more complex…
