You could do a kickstarter or just start preparing an open firewall rules list, that could be used by one of the open source routers or possibly by Windows itself?
We could ask Microsoft to be transparent about what the OS phones home for and what else is shared beyond the network.
Why not just add a gb or two for cache on the router? That'll speed up streaming for us, and google could store advertisements on it that would otherwise take more bandwidth.
nope, more buffering slows things down

"When a router device is configured to use excessively large buffers, even very high-speed networks can become practically unusable for many interactive applications like voice calls, chat, and even web surfing."
I live in Bellevue, WA, home to much of Microsoft and not far from their headquarters in Redmond, and I have never seen a non-Microsoft employee with an XBox.
you've probably never seen a non-microsoft employee, probably every resident of bellevue has worked at microsoft at one time or another

I've noticed an immediate performance improvement, especially with boot ups.
This is great, I have to boot up my laptop about once a month, what an awesome time saver.
this is great, how does my wife get all of her garage band files to play on linux?
stuff that the operating system unknowingly sends behind my back
you installed the operating system, you take responsibility for what it does.
The best things in life are free.
But when they aren't, there's always Ashley Madison
burn to DVD
What's a DVD? Is that one of those ancient 20th century artifacts?
All datamining should happen only with my consent in the first place.
you give your consent when you send your packets out onto the internet, they cease to be your data and are free for others to accumulate
Nothing is free,
existing is free, which is the opposite of nothing, so you could not be more wrong

you can ask
microsoft will say no and laugh
because at one point or another I'll be forced to upgrade to this pile of shit. :/
wow I thought slavery was illegal in the EU
Raspberry Pi TWO.
USB and Ethernet no longer associated.
wrong, the ethernet IO is exactly the same as the first one, just two more USB ports
SPI does not have a handshake from slave (uC) to master (RasPi) to tell the master to hang on when sending data.
who said that it does? nobody but you!
SPI works great in raspbian, no problems.
Google's end user products quality is generally apalling.
my nexus 7 tablet's quality is better than your spelling
I A home router is more secure if configurable only from a local, physical jack, whether ethernet or USB.
because there's no possible way there could be a backdoor into your ethernet controller...
unless there is magic out of band data transfer, more cache is not going to speed anything up
The more information they can track, package and re-sell about your identity the better.
the chinese are already in your router, but this doesn't seem to bother you

they want to spy on us. This is why they are doing this to us.
you prefer the current setup where china is already doing it?
True. I can hardly think of a company I'd trust less
chinese router companies laugh at your ignorance
You got it backwards, your Router will be sucking your data and sending it off to who-knows-where.
because only google routers would do that, nobody else would ever do such a thing

If you fail, dozens to thousands of employees wont be able to do their job until the problem gets resolved.
if your company is stupid enough to create situations like this, get out, fast
If file systems allowed arbitrary attributes per folder/file
mac os was doing this back in 1984
I'm tempted to blame the Virtual Boy for strangling the first wave of VR development in its cradle.
Really, you don't want to blame the fact that computers at the time were utterly unable to generate anything remotely resembling realistic 3-D?
You don't want to blame the fact that every other display technology sucked even worse?
wow
