[QUOTE="SpyNetGirl, post: 1022639, member: 98858"] I have 2 different complete PCs, one equipped with Intel i7 7700k from 6+ years ago (16GB DDR4 RAM with m.2 SSD) and one with Intel i7 12700k (32GB DDR5 RAM with m.2 SSD) I use the script I made on both of them. I do lots of tests on each and what I've seen show absolutely no decrease in performance. imagine in 2023, using 6+ years old hardware, with iGPU (no discrete GPU) and still play games from game pass. I've played Steam games like Resident Evil 3 with mods on it! (screenshots are on my Steam profile), on the same machine, I run latest Windows 11 insider dev builds, Hyper-V VMs, Windows subsystem for Android and whatnot. all of these while everything is XTS-AEX-256 encrypted and all Windows Security (Defender) features and Device Guard features turned on. I really think it's all just a myth that those things decrease performance, just old info that got copy pasted form website to website or blog to blog, even if they do, it's nothing compared to the security benefits they provide. also, I don't think any 3rd party company can ever create a security solution better than people who built the OS themselves and know it inside out. data leak monitor already exists if you use Edge password manager or Microsoft Authenticator on PC or phones. we keep hearing all the time that 3rd party password managers are getting hacked, their data base stolen, user data leaked. there is a post from few hours ago on this forum. I honestly don't see how 3rd party password manager can be safer or better than 1st party solution from a company bigger and better at security. about VPN, I suggest reading the [URL='https://github.com/HotCakeX/Harden-Windows-Security#security-recommendations']security recommendation on GitHub[/URL], you're probably compromising yourself by using one, if it's not a trusted one. and I don't mean having the text "we're a trustworthy VPN" on the website. there is sooo much misinformation spread by VPN providers and advertisers etc. that it's really awful. If your laptop or device gets stolen (which I hope it NEVER happen), it's not just the data you saved on your disks that are in danger. there is also shadow of the data you previously deleted, they can be recovered and your browser data, among other things.
