Microsoft has confirmed that Windows includes a Global Device ID (GDID), a permanent identifier automatically assigned to a PC during installation.
According to Microsoft, the GDID is used for security purposes,The company says it is not used for advertising or tracking users across apps and websites.
Unlike advertising IDs, the GDID cannot be disabled or reset by users, as it is designed to remain tied to the device for its lifetime.
Microsoft publicly acknowledged the identifier only after it appeared in court documents related to an FBI investigation.
What happens when you remove more than a billion barrels of oil from the global energy supply? Both the government and futures markets assure us everything will be fine. That’s probably not true.

🇺🇸 Tucker raises serious concerns about the rapid spread of surveillance cameras like Flock Safety across America.
He points out that even a simple drive to the countryside offers no escape from constant monitoring, cameras watching, listening, and analyzing your every move, face, and behavior 24/7.
Tucker also says this mirrors Orwell’s 1984, where the state doesn’t need brute force when it can simply watch everyone all the time.
That constant surveillance crushes privacy, intimacy, and free thought, turning society into something closer to a “slave state.”
A powerful warning on where this path is leading.

Richard Nixon's brutal truth on happiness that hits harder in 2026:
"The unhappiest people in the world are those in the watering places—south coast of France, Newport, Palm Springs, Palm Beach—parties every night, golf every afternoon, bridge, too much drinking, too much talking, too little thinking. Retired, no purpose."
He saw it decades ago: Endless leisure without struggle isn't paradise—it's a slow death of meaning.
"What makes life mean something is purpose, a goal, the battle, the struggle—even if you don't win it."
In an age of quiet quitting, early retirement dreams, and infinite scrolling... Nixon reminds us: The fight is what keeps the soul alive.
What keeps you in the "battle" right now—even when it's exhausting?
