They have a Global Device Identifier (GDID) Tracker that functions as a fingerprint for your PC that can surpass VPNs, proxy servers and countries. Although it can't survive a clean reinstall of Windows (it can survive updates), because Microsoft forces you to go to the internet and log in into a Microsoft account, they will be able to get to you.

Microsoft kept it secret and it was only found out when the FBI tracked a hacker thanks to the information Microsoft gave them.

You should be paying attention to this, and possibly consider moving away from Windows. If a government, especially the US government, doesn't like you for some reason, this could be seriously concerning.

This article specifically notes:

For journalism, activism, or domestic abuse situations, skip Windows and use Linux routed through Tor instead of a commercial VPN. A GDID doesn’t care which VPN you use, only that it’s still the same Windows installation.

Other important quotes:

What has researchers uneasy is everything else the case reveals. Costin Raiu, a well-known malware researcher, asked on the Three Buddy Problem podcast how much of this exists on other platforms, and whether it is linked more permanently to hardware. Matthew Hickey, another security researcher, called Windows “surveillance software”.

Two things back that up:

There’s no consent screen. A GDID gets assigned when you sign into a Microsoft Account. Apple’s advertising identifier needs an App Tracking Transparency prompt and a visible reset; Android’s works the same way. GDID has neither, and a Windows reinstall only gets you a new number Microsoft can still get back to the same account.

Then there’s activation. Massgrave, the group behind Microsoft Activation Scripts, notes that Windows setup sends hardware info to Microsoft and gets identifiers back, the same tokens later used for Store access and licensing: “It’s impossible to prevent Windows from getting a GDID without breaking activation and UWP app[s].” Anyone who lost a license after swapping a motherboard has already met a smaller version of this.

Here's the complaint filed to the court, the primary source for the case mentioned in the article. You can find mentions of GDID on page 30 of the document or 34 of the PDF.

In the Free Roam mode of Mario Kart World, drivers of vehicles on the roads will stop for the player character, and only start moving again when the player character clears the way.

However, there is one exception. The drivers do prioritize their own safety over that of the player character, and will not hesitate to run the player over in order to get out of the way of an incoming train, as seen in the footage.

Before I do, I need to make one thing clear: I am not a "discourse queer". I don't get involved in the labels shit, the oppression Olympics, or any of that BS. I don't see the point in inter-community bickering. So save the "well actually" shit and listen to a queer man just this once. We all have our battles to fight but at the end of the day I'm going to be in exactly the same fucking camp as you, if I haven't already stepped in front of a bullet for you instead.

They want trans men in that bathroom to make them stand out. They want transness to be obvious. If they could make trans people wear a pink triangle, they would. The easiest way to drive trans people to suicide or back into the closet is to make it impossible to live a quiet, private life as a trans person. To expose them to as much pain, ridicule and suffering as possible. If they make transition a gauntlet of agony where you will never fit, never have peace, very few people would survive it.

Trans men are viewed as lost incubators. Their sacred bodies belong to the state and the nation as mothers and wives. Their masculinity is viewed as stolen valour. Transition is a radical act of defiance against that ownership, as it is for trans women in the opposite direction. Forcing both trans men and trans women "back" into their "spaces" where they can be suitably punished for the audacity of putting themselves over society's choices for their bodies is exactly what transphobes want.

It was never about safety. It was never about the dignity of the masses. Only the thickest terfs swallowed that cover. It was always about lumping as much indignity and cruelty onto trans people as possible so no one ever transitioned.
