Isnt that going overboard with control over you. Isnt the principle of a personal computer, the idea that you have control over IT. not the other way around. |

The smartphones you use and the tablets can be disabled and completely shut off from a distance. We don't own anything, we may play with the gadgets but in the end if they decide to flip the switch then your gadgets will look like they came out of an EMP blast. |

darkwolf007 User ID: 1509736 United States 08/16/2015 03:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So don't run any pirated software or media, what's so hard about that? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 67881659 Exactly! AC who said that crap, please wake up for your own sake. You don't realize or can't, not sure which, that this is the entire reason why Microsoft FORCES paying, non-pirate, customers to download, install, and run that special checking software anytime Windows updates itself. That special checking software always checking to see if Windows is STILL LEGAL. They've been doing this since Microsoft Office 2000 or 2003, but it's been most famously used since Microsoft Windows XP. This is PROOF that Microsoft KNOWS that damn near anything can happen to Windows to make it not legal, but never tell us, the paying customer, what happened to Windows to make it ILLEGAL. Besides, with Microsoft determining whatever is legal and what isn't as well as what's unauthorized hardware you can very well have an episode of LOST on your hard drive that you've had for years and bought it legally, but Microsoft says it's illegal now because reasons. Your ass is going to prison for the rest of your life, or at least you're receiving a massive fine for doing something perfectly fine and legal years ago all because Microsoft declared something you did years ago that was legal is now illegal. My PSA: DO NOT GET WINDOWS 10. YOU WILL BE SORRY IF YOU INSTALL IT. YOU WILL NOT GET NO SYMPATHY FOR WHEN YOU GO TO PRISON! There we go! lol Conspiracy Theorist is nothing more than a derogatory title used to dismiss a critical thinker. A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, 'You are mad; you are not like us." -- St. Anthony The Great Social Credit Loser here. |

Linux is not a solution for most users for that alone. Yep. I find it hilariously dejecting that the Windows, Linux, and Apple Camps are so intensely polarized in favor of their Camps. They're Reasoning-Free Zones as far as I'm concerned. Conspiracy Theorist is nothing more than a derogatory title used to dismiss a critical thinker.

The Linux and Apple morans seem to have no concept that people just WANT IT TO WORK when they take it out of the box and are not the least bit tech savvy. Also, Apple though has a HUUUUUUUGE opportunity right now to take over Microsofts front and backend office products and server space. Win 10 is an abomination and if Apple were smart it would take advantage of ANOTHER Microsoft O/S coming out and self destructing. Last Edited by Useless Cookie Eater on 08/16/2015 03:21 PM |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70066620 Win 7 is going to be around a long time. Just make sure you REMOVE the Win 10 telemetry (Big Brother) patches that were stealthily pushed by Microsoft into Win7. Thread: Windows 7 and 8 are now being updated to get Telemetry, same tracking as Windows 10 Remove these patches..... Windows 7 and 8 updates you probably don't want in your system: Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1430199 First run Windows update and get available updates, if you see these in the list hide them. Then... kb 3021917 kb 3050265 kb 3035583 KB 2952664 KB 2976978 KB 2990214 KB 3068708 KB 3022345 KB 3075851 wusa /uninstall /KB:xxxxxxx Uninstall from Admin Command Prompt by adding the KB number (only) where the xxxxxxx are in the above line. Example: wusa /uninstall /KB:2952664 Several may not be on your machine but the process will simply tell you they are not installed. Run Windows update again after completing the uninstalls and hide any of the above that are offered again. Last Edited by Useless Cookie Eater on 08/16/2015 03:25 PM |
