Sorry, Microsoft... it's my fucking machine, you don't get to recklessly upgrade whenever you choose and break my desktop.
Wrong. You relinquished ownership of your machine and the data therein when you started using Windows 10 in it. You should come to terms with this fact, if you are going to carry on using Windows.
And this is different from the battery breakthroughs that get divulged here to the tune of several per year, only to be consigned to oblivion almost immediately - how?
We are complete strangers who call you at their own convenience, to grab hold of your time for their own purposes. They deserve no attention whatsoever.
It is very easy to set up a hotspot with a convincing name, that people will connect to. Do anything unencrypted in such a connection at your own peril.
Well the stock price is only about 75% of what it was about a year ago when all of this started coming out which means Zuck has lost about a quarter of his wealth. So there's that...
Yep. I'm sure it stings when you can only spend six million a day instead of eight.
It probably does. When reaching those figures it does not really matter how much you can spend a day, for you already passed the threshold of what you can reasonably spend per day long ago - sure, you can buy several Lamborghini a day but, what for? No, what matters is that you have lost something in the way of power and influence - and that does sting, especially when others in the same rarefied levels have gained instead.
""Why does our company suck at having a moral compass?"
Because Greed N. Corruption is CEO of US Capitalism, and has been for a long time now.
While true, we should take one step back. Facebook is a publicly traded company. The essential fiduciary duty of a publicly traded company is to maximize profits for its shareholders without regard to any moral considerations. Which implies that companies will push the law to the limit, regardless of ethics and morality. Even more, they will predictably break the law, if they think they can get away with it, or when they make the calculation that breaking the law and getting caught is more profitable than not breaking the law. The fines to Google in Europe are not going to make much of a difference, just as you would carry on doing 120 in a 75 zone if every time they catch you you have to pay $10.
Google Philosophy: "Make 57 different apps to do 57 different things in mediocre fashion, then bring those features that consumers seem to like into one single, bloated app that focuses on "monetization opportunities". Oh, and "do no evil" (ha ha ha)."
Actually, it's more like make many different apps to do 1 thing in a mediocre fashion, every time. Also make sure to name said apps as confusingly as possible, and to discontinue them randomly and without warning. The rest is correct.

Neither Apple nor Microsoft will ever fix any computer problem for any amount of money, ever.
I find this witty. Were trying to be witty?
I mean, it would not be a Windows 10 upgrade if nothing ended up messed up.
At any rate, it is so easy to get around it, if necessary, that it hardly deserves any discussion.
Oops, you jaywalked. 50 quid automatically taken from your bank account. Have a nice day.
If they have their way, it would be more like "Oops, you thought of jaywalking. 50 quid automatically taken from your bank account. Have a nice day."
To each his own. I want to watch videos not obscured by annotations that may, or may not, be interesting.
Which is not a bad thing, in a world of constant change. In addition, if you get Microsoft products, you know what to expect.
The UK staying the course toward fascism and 1984.
It's as simple as that. As long as people keep paying, they will increase their prices.

$710/mo for 100 GB and up to 12 Mbps? You are a bunch of crooks.
In the 80s, I believe. Apparently, nobody in Italy wanted it.

Hilarious. Thanks.
As expected from Samsung, a company that is slated to re-igniting the market.
As expected from Microsoft.
It may be better, but it remains a vehicle for speculators and money laundering, and little (if anything) else.

Next up: Google, Cloudflare, Akamai, Valve/Steam, Akamai, and a few other huge data companies.
You forgot Akamai.
The amount of ignorant trash coming out of Britain these days is nothing short of amazing.

If anything, what they can claim is that they have been unable to find such a link. An altogether different assertion.
