Microsoft Drops 'Safe Removal' of USB Drives As Default In Windows 10 1809 (betanews.com)
Mark Wilson writes: Since the arrival of USB drives, we have been warned that they need to be 'safely removed' using the correct method in Windows, rather than just being yanked out — but now this changes.
With Windows 10 1809, Microsoft is changing the default setting that's applied to USB drives and other removable media. The change means that the default policy applied to removable storage devices is Quick Removal rather than Better Performance — so you can now just pull it out without a second thought.

If your data is valuable, why are you even using Windows?
Because with magic Onedrive integration my entire computer can melt into a puddle on the ground and be locked up by randsomware and yet all my data is still safe and I don't even need to use any of those complicated techie things that the nerds tried to explain to me. ... I think they used a word "backup". Sounds like something people did in the past before the clouds came over.
Now maybe you should back up and take a good look at the absurd and stupid arguments you're making given the critical wealth and knowledge of the human race happily resides on Windows platforms without any issue what so ever.
