  1. Maybe Trump? I mean, he's promised making someone build something and pay for it, too, before...

  2. start Windows PowerShell, run as admin, type

    Get-AppxPackage *windowsstore* | Remove-AppxPackage

    Presto, store gone.

  3. We're not talking about a decent OS, the topic is Windows 10. Jeesh, and people complain about me not RTFS.

  4. Artificial being defined as an input that is not genuine but simulated. Which of course raises the question what "genuine input" would be.

    In the end, the question remains whether you exist. Or from your point of view, whether I exist. And this is impossible to determine since nothing you could use to verify or falsify it is trustworthy.

  5. So by the time they cease support for it it will FINALLY be usable?

  6. And how do you determine that this is "outside"? How would you know?

  7. What do you mean? They can't be removed, and I'd very much like to get rid of them, while you can actually get rid of Alarms and Camera for example via Power Shell, something TFS claims still can't be removed in a more user friendly way.

  8. It's all those apps that everyone who wanted to remove already removed because the guides how to do it with power shell are all over the internet.

    What about:

    Contact Support
    Cortana
    Edge
    Feedback

    ?

  9. Nah, we just laugh for different reasons about you.

  10. Then I'd like to meet the idiot who programmed my AI and tell him to get back to college, he really did a crappy job.

  11. Probably there's some China farmer out there slaving away to generate greenbacks.

  12. No. By definition no. We are talking about looking at a system from the inside and determining the outside of the system. That, by definition, is impossible.

    You cannot even prove to me in any meaningful way that you exist. You can of course prove it to yourself, but nobody else. Likewise, whether I exist is something I can not prove to you. I may be a script in a very advanced simulation, or I may even be created by the simulation itself. There is no way for you to determine that. Even if I was to stand in front of you, this would not change it. You only have your senses as input, and as it has been shown, all of them can be tricked and stimulated artificially.

  13. That explains my hangover. I always get that when they reboot too many times in a row.

  14. Have you ever seen any of these suffering people? Met them?

    From a purely scientific point of view, I can't say that I have.

  15. That's pretty much what I thought. If you win in a computer game, why would you want to end it?

  16. I'm kinda wary getting ISPs involved. It's a small step from "you should check whether your users are running trojans in their IoTs" to "you should check whether your users are torrenting files."

    There is absolutely no need for selective breeding with humans. It's not like we're suffering from a shortage of sustenance, no part of our population (at least where we could create a controlled breeding environment) is in any danger of being deselected for breeding due to a shortage of nourishment or shelter.

    If I write down a metric ton of bullshit, I will be right a handful of times, too. That's by no means different than various conspiracy nuts throwing about the most harebrained ideas, and should once in a blue moon one of those insane ramblings actually have something to do with reality, they act as if they knew everything all along, ignoring those thousands of times they simply spouted bullshit.

    So... in other words, we're trying to become a cancer.

    Most people already reached that goal.
