I have office 2013 installed (pirated) with no issues. Windows 10 seems to work well. I blocked as much as I could. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69968336 You have to have Windows 10 for Dx12. So you might as well suck it up and upgrade. I'm gonna continue pirating software/movies and microsoft isn't going to do sh8t. lol dx12 was the only reason I upgraded as well. I'm not sure if its even worth it anymore if I can't pirate games. I will never pay for games again with the nonsense dlc that they give with games |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 67881659 That's a really really really stupid comment. Who decides WHAT is pirated? What if they don't like what you're running, legal or not? What if they make a mistake and think it's illegal, but it's NOT? Why should they have the power to take ANYTHING off your personal property without a warrant from a court? That is called THEFT but I guess when it's Microsoft, that's okay. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 48994189 United States 08/16/2015 05:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | somebody tell me what the heck unauthorized hardware is./ Quoting: Anonymous Coward 40150545 And isnt it a little crazy that your OS can disable the use of certain hardware.. 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. Remember that little mystery device called the TPM they started putting in computers around 2006? For your protection of course. From the NSA led "trusted computing group"? And how it has been upgraded so that now you can't turn it off in the BIOS anymore on newer computers? That is what it is. Microsoft was going to make TPM 2.0 mandatory starting in 2015 to even run windows - they backed off, but shortly if you don't have it you flat out can't install windows. Several foreign governments have identified it as a national security threat and won't even allow it in their countries. Germany for example will not allow it to be used on government computers. So if your computer has TPM that can be pulled - pull it. If it has TPM 1.2 in the mobo/network turn it off, and if it has TPM 2.0 well you are just fucked. And all these tired anti-linux comments above are just absurd: 'it is so hard to learn' 'it is like DOS' 'it has more viruses!" F.U.D. [link to www.techworld.com] |

Tatsuya User ID: 52717146 United States 08/16/2015 06:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Not really needed yet, for M$ to do this, you still have to use a M$ account, anyone with a single brain cell should know not to use a linked account and only use a local account. That said, it is possible to disable all of windows 10's spying, but it's not easy unless you use something like the "destroy windows spying" program, mainly it requires the use of power shell and editing the hosts file (to be fair, it's not a bad idea to edit the hosts file to block spying url's anyway). One who chooses selfish actions has their reward, one who chooses selfless acts, also have their reward. |

I've been using Mac for about 15 years, and I've always been a fanboy. But Yosemite has been an absolute disaster, and Apple makes in damn near impossible to go back to the previous OS (Mavericks). In fact, for many users, there is no "official" way to do so. If your system came with Mavericks and has a recovery partition, you can do so. Otherwise, tough luck. |
Petitroche User ID: 66954576 United States 08/16/2015 07:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Unless you have an understanding of something like WINE....forget about running any Windows software. ....which is 80-90% of the software out there. Linux is not a solution for most users for that alone. Just use windows Xp or 7, they tried this shit with other windows versions... they will see how it will work out. Are assholes still writing viruses for XP, or is it safe to use again? That is why I run Linux. Running windows with anti-virus is sooo fuckinnng slooooow. Linux doesn't need it and is super fast.
