False. Refuse all the optional updates, accept all the critical updates. You can easily configure windows update to do this.
THIS. I have Windows 7 with GWX Control Panel (reviewed here) installed, and under Control Panel --> Windows Update --> Change settings, I am set to "Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them", and (most important) "Recommended updates" is UN-checked.
There is also a tool Never 10 (Peter Thurrott writes about it here). But always make sure you make the changes above to Windows Update.
When updates announce themselves, accept only those updates for Windows listed "critical" and "security", as well as Windows Defender updates. That's it.
So far, no problems on any of my systems. MS is being pretty shitty about all this, but they haven't yet stooped to calling 10 a critical/security update. However, anyone not savvy enough to take the above steps (e.g., parents) might be in for some trouble. So, spread the word, or suffer endless calls from suffering masses.
Agreed, the UI is a needless step down, but having run a Preview version in Virtual Box for over a year (Insider Program remains open), I've seen the interface improve. It's better than 8, better than 8.1, not as good as 7 but so long as you never have to use their ad-laden start button you start to ignore the window decorations. And ClassicShell segregates "metro" apps from regular applications into two sub-menus (sweet). You still have to do a little work to make sure no "metro" apps open by accident (like opening a PDF), hunt around for desktop versions of the calculator, and it's still weird going between the "metro" control center and the old-school Control Panel.
On the other hand, 10 handles 2K and 4K monitors better than 7 ever will, offers a lot of under-the-hood performance and security improvements, and plays nicely with networks with 7 on them. If not for the privacy/phone-home issues, I'd just about bite the UI bullet and upgrade, just to get GWX to STFU. Good excuse to buy a new SSD (check out the new SanDisk X400, reviewed on Anandtech).
* The start menu goes back to the Windows 7 style - that was the start menu perfected!
Install ClassicShell. Available from Ninite or Fosshub. Works beautifully, you'll see.
* Windows XP compatibility mode (the free VM) makes a comeback - because yes, I do play older games on occasion. Yes, Virtualbox, blah blah blah but virtualbox doesn't come with the free XP license.
Yes, I'm gonna miss that. A free, licensed windows-compatible virtual OS (even if it's outdated) to use for whatever. There's Hyper-V, but not a free license to run something in it IIRC.
* When you nix advertising from the OS
again, ClassicShell. AFAIK, all the advertising appears in the LiveTiles of the Start menu or center, which you never have to see, ever once ClassicShell is installed.
I have Windows 10 running on one PC doing light-duty HTPC work while I decide whether I trust the OS for my more critical stuff. I would NOT attempt an upgrade, but a clean install might be ok. Honestly, everything that I throw at it seems to work, and with ClassicShell, Cortana and the worst of the OS is buried out of my sight.
The trouble is all the FUD, which I'm sure is at least partly justified. Does the telemetry get turned off when you tell it to? Can an automated update switch it back on or break something? I understand that Microsoft is sick and tired from years of unpatched, hacked XP installs roped into the botnet collective because users were by-and-large too lazy to run update themselves, but in making updates mandatory in 10 we have to TRUST Microsoft not to break anything or do something overtly evil to sell you out or extort you.
I'm hungry for a plan, a tool, or a method that definitively, confidently, renders Windows 10 as harmless as if I had a copy of Enterprise and maintained everything myself. So far, I haven't seen it.
I suppose the integrated GPU is useful when your discrete GPU burns out (it happens). But on a "K" chip I'd prefer the most barest minimest iGPU just-functional-to-get-a-desktop-running, and use the saved space for a core or more cache.
Retorts with devastating Tweet that Hawking is a no-walking no-talking wheelchair loser who's never made one dime in real-estate. Pulls down trousers and says he's got Hawking's black hole "right here". Polls surge. News at 11.
This. Like the Hitler thing, there will always be someone who flippantly posts "just don't use windows" with a misguided air of superiority. So, in a futile attempt to put this to rest: if it were that easy, that's what people would do.
But it isn't, and Microsoft knows it, and that's why they're doing what they're doing. If you don't rely on software that requires Windows, happy for you. If you got the spare time and the inclination, there's Linux or BSD; otherwise, Macs have become pretty damn bullet-proof turnkey solutions for getting the essentials taken care of and then some. Throw in a Playstation 4, and you've got games covered, too.
Yes, but try explaining that to a Sr. Manager or bean-counter. It may be 2016, but clients still don't like support people walking in and telling them "you're PC's busted... pay money." "Not busted, working fine." "Microsoft has done something stupid. Must spend money, fix PC before breaks." "Nonesense! My equipment is functioning just fine.. leave me alone." "No. PC broken. Watch." **reboots PC, Windows 10 begins to install all by itself, freezes on blue-screen after third restart** "See, PC broken. That'll be $700."
Microsoft may seem like a bunch of idiots to IT savvy people, but to business types it appears much more like an extortion racket.
Poorly made batteries are a problem for everybody. Think outside the box and wonder why more phones, laptops, and other ubiquitous devices that depend on high-energy batteries don't start blazing away, and whether they may start now that this cheap shit is flooding the market. It may be fun to poke at the vaper who cooks his balls, but how about the vaper who checks her vape into the luggage compartment of the airplane you're riding? ISIS will claim responsibility for your plane going down, 'cause, you know, why not - prove they didn't, but all along it was just some mislead nico-addict who thought she was doing the right thing for her health.
Besides, this takes attention away from the real harm in vaping... all that completely unregulated shit they put into that liquid. Tobacco is bad, sure, but who the fuck knows what solvents, preservatives, and fuck-knows-what goes into those little bottles that you breathe all... the... way... in.
Sounds to me like tax-payer dollars well-spent on equipment that keeps on giving.
Maybe your typical gamer has to upgrade every coupla years because the latest Doom doesn't run well on a 4-year old GeForce. Maybe Macy's needs to upgrade their mainframes because they have way more inventory to deal with and want to offer more sales online. And maybe we all need to upgrade off Windows XP (looking at you, banks, with your hackable ATM's) because it was a lousy, full-of-security-holes platform in the first place.
But as Microsoft tries to force me off my perfectly workable Windows 7 for no damn reason, I wonder why a machine bought by a government department, that does the job and does it really well, needs to be upgraded or swapped out for something new that may or may not work because of something non-related to whether the damned thing does the job and does it really well. Replacing such a system is not easy, particularly when there are consultants circling overhead, hungry for a fat government contract so they can build a complete clusterfuck out of overpriced commodity hardware that does nothing approaching what the old system did. And needs to be upgraded all over again in 2-3 years.
Yes, on the one hand, holy shit! those are old floppy drives. On the other hand, holy shit! they still work and do the job after all these years. Why have we grown so accustomed to throwing shit out every coupla years? Seems to me, government (state and federal) is one of those areas where shit oughta stay the same for a while so people can focus on getting the job done, rather than re-learning and re-tooling every few years just because some software vendor wants to sell another release of something.
Easier to disinfect? I wouldn't be so sure about that. A food-service robot had better be very well designed not to have little nooks and crannies where bacteria can hide and grow. Pneumatics blow air around. Hydraulics have lovely oils that could leak. All joints need lubrication fluids that might not mix well with the secret sauce. And because the robots don't change with the shifts, it's the same damn robot, collecting more and more dust, grease, and biscuit flower from the surroundings in the kitchen, 24/7. Unless the robots come packaged with a crane to lift them up and immerse them in a swimming pool of disinfectant every night or so, keeping them all clean and free of E. Coli and other nasties is going to be a bitch for minimum wage workers with face-masks and spray-cans of industrial-grade Lysol getting that smell of hospital all over the food...
One outbreak of food poisoning hits the news linked to an automated McDonald's over a "tainted" burger-flipper... you saw it here first.
The real "issue" here is that upper class people want to hang onto as much of their money as they can.
Does it really add up to that much money? this seems more like just a matter of who gets to win a shouting match between TV pundits. Goes like: Minimum wage bad, capitalism make all people rich. Random figures. Anecdotal evidence. Want speaking fee. Want book deal. Now watch important message for term life insurance.
The only news here is a former McDonald’s CEO got some air-time on FOX Business Network’s "Mornings with Maria", saying something that happens to dove-tail with Fox's anti-everything that keeps its audience agitated and receptive to ads for Cialis (for daily use) and other products directed to the aging demographic that sits at home watching cable news all day.
Flash: There are already automated order-taking machines in McDonald's restaurants throughout Europe. And automated check-out lines in Supermarkets throughout the U.S. And robots welding cars together throughout the world. Progress marching on, regardless some barely adequate minimum wage.
OTOH, whether people LIKE robot-made-and-served food remains to be seen. The only thing that's certain is robots are far more sexy in the Board Room than people. Nobody gets props anymore for motivating people to be more productive, not when there's a guy with a fancy suit and a toothy grin from Acme Robots showing fancy color pamphlets to a hungry Vice President who wants the Big Promotion.
By the time the dust settles and McDonald's is shelling out support contracts to third, fourth, and fifth-party vendors who show up as reliably as a Comcast repairman, the VP with the great idea will have moved on, maybe to run HP (another nail in that coffin). And who keeps the McDonald's running when the robots break? That same tired assistant manager you always see picking up the slack at the fryer or turning the key when the cashier fucks up. At least he'll be making $15 whole dollars an hour for his trouble.
and then, the new robotics equipment will build a new middle class, of robots, who'll ride in self-driving cars to fully-automated WalMarts to buy all the shit the robot factories are producing. Joy! Self-sustaining economy achieved!
Press freedom is an essential element of any democracy. So pretty obviously the big issue with rich bastards using their wealth anonymously to try to shut down publications that criticise them is that it clearly works against that principle.
Hear hear, well spoken, Bruce. Now only time will tell if they turn off the legal heat on the fans, who are doing for (practically) nothing what the studios can't do with million dollar budgets. I mean, why can't they study the 20 or so good episodes of TOS and and get inspired for a new Trek? Why is the ONLY idea they ever come up with is blow up (or, at best, decommission) the Enterprise, when the Enterprise is really the only reason we go see the show?
"These are the voyages... of bad boy Kirk, his goofy sidekick Spock, and some supporting cast with familiar names; their on-going mission, to beat up aliens, perform outrageous stunts, make awkward wise-cracks, and hop in the sack with every..."
Doesn't sound right, does it?
Been waiting a real long time, decades, for Trek to get its act together, which with Jay Jay has gone from bad to worse. I suppose Trek doesn't inspire as much respect from Mr. Abrams as the Star Wars franchise.
Doesn't GWX Control Panel solve the problem? I installed this little app months ago to prevent unintended upgrades to 10 and just plain naggery, and I haven't seen anything since. But I also avoid "optional" updates from Microsoft, and only install those labeled "critical" or "security". Has anyone run this tool and still gotten nagged by Microsoft to update, like some "optional" update that defeats this tool?
Why on Earth they would be using Yahoo accounts while on the job is a mystery without a responsible answer.
A sensible, and possibly accurate, answer: they're sticking with the e-mail accounts they're familiar with. Before they're elected, they won't have.gov e-mail accounts - they'll be heavily invested in something else, like Yahoo, something they've had and settled with for years. If elected, they can get a House account, but most all their contacts know them by their old accounts, and if they're un-elected in two years, the fancy House account goes away (I assume).
So, a luddite (and let's face it, most politicians are) figures why bother asking all their contacts (who are probably also luddites) to switch to a new unfamiliar address, if that address might go away in two years simply because some heavily bankrolled Tea Party asshole spends more money in attack ads? Let a staff member watch the House.gov account (which is public, and therefore a major spam/hatemail target), and get real work done with the non-public address that will stick around even if they lose an election.
"Although the beetle does definitely float, it will not float indefinitely". God, I love those things. Those indestructible air-cooled boxer engines, supposedly swappable with certain models made for Porsche.
But they are death-traps. That plate on the bottom at the beginning of the video, that forms the floor of the car, gives the car its stiffness and durability... unless an impact causes it to crack. Once it buckles, the cabin collapses and anything or anyone in the car gets squashed. Drive carefully, avoid accidents.

Abundance of cheap energy, Copper production, global glut of same, lack of transmission lines.
Hmm. Opportunity?
A better question is why Never10 or GWX Control panel weren't installed on it.
Wouldn't have mattered since Microsoft has been actively circumventing any tools like those that disable the Win10 update prompts.
Is that a fact? GWX Control Panel has been working for me. No nags, no installs, no update files taking up space on my drive.

Life with Microsoft. PITA.
I'll upgrade to Windows 10 when...
