You can shut the ads off, but next month, they might be back on....
Man, why even **** with this thing? It's a mess, you guys are just complaining more. I'm tired of seeing this thread. I'll just go for it instead.
I hate the start menu because everything is listed alphabetically (unintuitive and backward). The previous start menu had everything categorized by program. The best is linux having been categorized by function. I like things where i can find them quickly two ways, not just be forced to going through the whole alphabet if i sort of didn't remember enough of a program name to search for.
You can shut the ads off.
Metro and user apps mixed was by users' request, IIRC (want all mah programs together!).
Most things about 10 that would cause issues are fixable, and the engine under the hood makes it worth it IMHO. Plus, remember, you have 30 days to roll back in a worst-case scenario.
That engine under the hood isn't worth the butt plug it sports on the front of the car ramming you.
I'm sure there are going to be more apologists to paint lipstick on a pig. The spying win10 does is not overblown. It is pretty damn bad.
Win10 core data collection cannot be stopped.
Privacy statement details. Eula's are always worth a read, including the ones you can't.
I personally thought the portions of how long microsoft holds onto your data to be laughable, and how responsible they claim to be with it. The eula has many fun things. As if them holding onto your data a certain amount of time actually had anything to do with the people they share it with. The people they share it with could hold onto it forever. The eula somehow tries to act as if it's in the best interest of the users.
I am always of the impression that things are just as bad as they seem. This is definitely some serious spying. That i shouldn't worry if i have nothing to hide. All humans have many things to hide. To think not means you're an idiot. I don't enjoy living in a society where i am more and more open everyday to any kind of interpretation of being a scapegoat for government and corporations out of convenience or interest.
Not many get it because they're a tard. Are you a tard? Don't answer that personally, that's how the tard detector works (ironically, as if no explanation for how it works was ever mentioned". Big brother wants to know everything about you in any way. It's all a big play by governments to attempt being omniscient. I just reached real far right there that i'm sure people will think i'm nuts. You know how many things track you daily whether you own them or not. And i'm sure people think i'm nuts now, but think how many devices are spying on you in an increasing number everyday. And then think about the people who let it happen, and then the people in control pushing for more. And how many other countries are in on this.
"But, this is microsoft we're talking about here" right and who are they selling the data too? They collect it for a reason, one of those is displaying ads and sending you promotions, not all are microsofts ads and promotions, and microsoft does run a business even...one sided morons.
I will not apologize for my snippiness. But, running win10 is surely a bad idea if you want to further aid being persecuted and or in jail for something done at home that could easily be misconstrued (man am i glad i don't own a tv that listens to me; how many conversations are said while watching tv?). Very sure footage of a parent spanking their kid after a young age mess up would cause the uproar of child abuse. I am not shying away from the realization of living in a populous of endless scapegoats and excuses for the government and corporations. In fact, a system of automation for spying run by the unjust is evil.
This is all very real, and apologists are having a harder time shoving the ever growing mountain under a couch (for a while now, there's been a sofa on everest).
First they get everyone numb on their phones to spying, then they same on more personal devices? Of course. Personally i don't run android, or the g-apps store. There's plenty i'm an offender of. But, at least being enlightened and being wise with my choices where i do actually have a say, sure says more than others.
No one say you don't have a choice. You could get a mac, or run unix or linux. Personally I wouldn't run macos. Code that has been publicly audited functions the way that the public specifies. Again, one sided morons would like to say that somehow the source code for openvpn being publicly available will take down my vpn. To which i say retarded thinking; just because you have the source code doesn't mean you have the keys to the kingdom. In the area of openvpn you certainly don't. Have fun defeating my diffie hellman made by different software that still wouldn't give you the keys.
In b4 people ask me stupid questions, i think i addressed plenty for people to read and not fully grasp. Seriously, I have been asked why i lock my car, why i lock the front door of where i live, why locks were even invented, what's the point of theories if they aren't 100% accurate in real life, why good things happen to bad people and bad things to good, and even why despite a broken window why i will still lock that door. Most people i encounter are dummies growing on a daily basis, i hope that celebrity gossip and football are that good.
Throw it at me. Windows 10 sucks, you're a deceived idiot if you think you can tame it to play the way you want.
