I guess I would rather know than not know. Why does it matter if it is the police that inform you or social media? Why is one worse than another? The tragedy still happened and the loved one is still injured or dead...
I have been told by people who work in social services that the government ALWAYS denies the first request for government services like disability. Doesn't matter if it was endorsed by a medical professional or whatever, the first request is always denied. That ends up weeding out a huge percentage of the people applying since many of them shrug and give up.
Does the Department of Agriculture perform many human autopsies?
No idea.
But it is easy enough for me to see the scenario:
A request comes across my desk for a medical record. I consult my little cheat sheet of requests which are automatically denied. Lo-and-behold, medical records is on the list. I ink up my deny stamp and give it a good whack on the request. Next issue.
You know... you could simply not assign a gateway IP on the embedded (critical) systems or block them from reaching the Internet... like a sane person would do.
I know of many CNC machines that still run on Windows 3.0/DOS... but you don't connect those to the Internet.
The number of people who will upgrade, in response to the nagging, is greater than the number of people who will abandon Microsoft in response to the nagging.
Either way it is a win/win for MS. They either get the user upgraded to a system that they want people to be on, or the user moves to a different OS.
MS doesn't want to be on a desktop where it is not wanted.
I will never forget the first time I heard Ziggy Stardust (to be played at maximum volume).
It was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor and I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there. Your face, your race, the way that you talk. I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk.

Anyway, the advice I always give my friends and family is to never accept anything offered to you. If you get a call and it seems legit, get a phone number and tell them you will call them back, then try to look up that number.
If a pop-up comes up asking you to download anything, hit Alt+F4

Exactly.
If anything social media could cut out a lot of worry time by notifying you faster. Why does it matter where the information comes from?

This used to be the case.
Symantec has surprised me by making a pretty fast centrally managed product. All of the big companies I have worked for are running SEP.
For years, Symantec was synonymous with slow/fat/bloated but now that is AVG.
Trend has always been a pretty good performer as well.
The best AV solution I ever came across both in performance and effectiveness was Sunbelt's Viper... then it was bought by GFI and got bad.
Did you use an out-of-order pay phone booth as an elevator down to the office floor?
LOL, I was actually thinking the same thing.
I am excited for the new X-Files...
I think this also is a good theory.

Dolphins who live primarily in salt water can live just as well in fresh water provided there is enough food for them to eat.
As a matter of fact, some species of dolphin do live in fresh water.
Or locked them in gestation crates...
Or it could be that this is the rubber stamp that is always applied to medical records when they are requested.
It is above the pay grade of the low level bureaucrat to make the distinction between animal and human (if there is one).
My guess is that it will use BITS to download in the background.
You can find this out using the BITSAdmin tool

Actually, if they kept the numbering, wouldn't Windows 10 actually be Windows 6.4?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
So, then Windows 10 would be rubbish.
Of course, the last good version of Windows, by your definition, would have been Windows 2000 - XP. And before that, Windows 3.0 - 3.51

Join the computer to a domain and you won't get Windows 10 rammed down your throat.
I would be willing to bet that you could even join your Win10 to a Samba domain and achieve the same result.
Even as it is right now, you can decline the installation part.
I agree that if you are on a metered connection, it is a problem to download 6GB worth of stuff without notifying the user.
I moved off of gmail a while ago and went to outlook.com. I have to say that the interface is much cleaner than gmail and it loads faster.
From what I have heard, the protocol tops out at 100Kbps.
So, no streaming video.

I have never been in a Mormon church that didn't have a Gymnasium either.
Perhaps I am misreading this graph but it looks to me like this is only showing temperature variance due to El Nino not global temperature averages.

P'yongyang is desperate for attention during the US presidential election cycle
When are we NOT in an election cycle? Is there any time ever that someone is not campaigning for public office?
Even if they aren't actively campaigning, they are positioning and posturing for future "election cycles"
Oh, and I believe I saw some aluminum tubes in a satellite photo of N. Korea... so....
From what I have heard, women have a way to "shut that whole thing down" anyway...
