if you refer to the hardware as “PC” then you are wrong, the OS utilizes the hardware and uses it. it cannot destroy it, and even if it could by using a lot of resources, “controlling” is the wrong word here. Microsoft owns the OS, not your computer and/or its hardware
I used to use it but then I just downloaded aria2 (what motrix is using) and it’s as fast as motrix with a little bit of configuration. aria2 supports both direct downloads and magnet links, it’s a command line tool though
cx file explorer
If the user was using Windows, fast startup could have been enabled so they were able to extract the password from the RAM maybe? Other than that I don’t know
fair but the original post is about microsoft controlling something in the OS
