Dude in 2015 you bought a device that only works on an unsupported 15 year old obsolete and now dangerous OS for internet streaming??! Seriously
If the camera was from the XP era I could understand. If you want to keep it then get an ancient XP box and DMZ the LAN behind a firewall to prevent internet access. But if you purchased this to use over the internet then the manufacturer gave you a shoddy and liable product that is negligent.
Wasn't this the company who gave us forged compromised certificates last year that installed malware on some pcs and phones?
They use a Lenovo style spearfish SSL MITM and replace legitimate certificates with their own. Gee no security problem with that. Kaspersky does the same too until you tell it not to scan HTTPS connections.
I just turned off windows updates on my win8.1 netbook. Sure, it might get rooted by random internet script-kiddies, but that's still better than a 100% chance of immediately getting rooted by Microsoft's own script-kiddies.
Windows Update is simply no longer trustworthy.
Dude. GWX control panel. Go google it or just put in security updates only? That way you won't get 0wned.
Server is not a good client platform. The reason is the threading and quantums are optimized for background services and loads. Not lower latency and applications.
Also you will be prompted why you are shutting down each time and sleep won't be enabled by default etc. Server 2016 has per core (not cpu licensing!). So if you want to pay $2400 for your quad core be my guess:-)
Oh and if you try to crack the bootloader it will be much harder as MS records a copy of your fingerprinted hardware serial IDs to generate a public key. I know you mentioned dreamspark but still.
I would stick with Windows 10. You gain apps too which are coming more useful. The spyware scare is just cortana entering keyword searches. Totally overblown and rediculous. Of course MS needs to let hte user knows when he or she types in an internet search it will go to the internet duh.
Mine is a haswell I built just over a year ago. I spent about $3500 for an i7, 32 gigs of ram, and 3 Samsung pro 840 SSD and a case and platnium grade power supply and an nvidia gtx 770.
This is not even a high end gaming system but is decent. Mostly for VM lab work for my certs and the fact I wanted a nice system:-). But if you only spend $1200 for such a system you wouldn't use a low end dual core i5 with just 8 gigs of ram and a cheap case with integrated or low end graphics?
Raid 0 NVMe users typically would get dual Titans or 980's and 16 gigs of ram and a high end i7 to go with it.
Apple didn't break compatibility with their old systems, in fact developed special tools to ease the transition between two completely different architectures!
Wow go google MacOSX Lion issues?:-) Adobe suite earlier than 4 no longer functions. Windows 10 is alot more compatible with older software than Apple by a longshot.
Windows Revenue is down 50% because of the mobile revolution. Then there are technologies like Citrix that are challenging Microsoft's dominance in corporate America.
The new business model is obvious; monetize non-business customers by trapping them in a windows through a walled garden while selling their personal information to the highest bidder while protecting the corporate deployment base.
Microsoft thinks all their customers are mom and dad surfing e-mail on their home pc's when in reality they just killed tens of thousands of small businesses, small pc shops, SOHO offices and so forth running windows PC's with legacy code. This is the knucklehead moment where they behead themselves and the market realizes just how dangerous Microsoft really is. They are going to tick off a lot of people and impress nobody if they pull this off successfully; given the state of the market and computers in general I doubt they are going to get out of this unscathed.
Not to join in on the anti MS parade here but do you have any evidence of this?
The spying folks is for Cortana and bing web searches. RELAX and put the tin foil hats away? Yes MS needs input to do a search. Outside of Cortana is there any evidence MS is going through your documents and selling your information to 3rd parties?
That is some serious liability and legal issues.
I am not a MS fanboy at all. But I find it ironic that Chrome is cool here which do EXACTLY THAT TO 3rd parties. THe incentive to upgrade to Windows 10 is because MS does not want to support XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 and have developers target and do QA for EACH ONE. QA folks LOVE Windows 10 being the only OS. It cuts costs and enables them to use the latest features.
Ubuntu 9.10 (age of Windows 7) does not run modern Linux apps, skylake cpus, nor Kraby lake, but everyone here nails MS as the anti christ for doing the same. Also try installing 2009 era MacOSX Snow Leopard on a 2016 iMac and see how far that gets you?
I do not like WIndows 10 ATM and am not drinking the koolaid. I jsut honestly want to know if MS is selling information or is this a knee jerk reaction for those fearing change? The last users when we left XP was ridiculous as they tried to find any reason why 7 was the anti-christ.
LibreCAD, Altium runs through WiNE (I use it), OpenShot or KDEnLive. You're welcome.
If you have to change your tools to accommodate the OS and not the other way around then it is not ready nor appropriate. I still run WIndows 8.1 just fine and it will stay 8.1. Everyone is totally overeacting.
Both Apple and Linux update all the time. Why is it bad when Microsoft does this? Every try to support 5 different versions of the same OS and have users use 13 year old operating systems>?
You would notice a difference as some of the files are gigs in size. This is bandwidth. But besides gamers professionals like developers, sql guys, Sys admins, and those setting a home virtual lab. These are mostly IOP based and wouldn't benefit. Gamers would for bandwidth but are a nich as many young folks who play do not have that nice job to pay for a $3500 system with raid 0 NVE drives.
On VM's in a home lab I see no difference between raid 0 and not with SATA on Samsung pros outside of benchmarks.
However, my VM's do boot quicker with the Samsung than the sansdisk that replaced them. The IOPS were better and that made them boot quicker and shutdown. I imagine at work it is the same with database or production VM's too
Dude we live in a different world than most Americans.
I read somewhere that 40% of americans have no savings. Those that do only have $4,000 saved!
1 out of 3 car loans according to David Ramsey are sub prime. Meaning 18% - 25% interest??! $250 when living pay check to paycheck means eviction or starvation. When rent is $1,000 a month for a 1 bedroom in the big cities where are people with families who only pull $15/hr or even $40,000 a year supposed to live and pay off that fine?
True everyone is too ashamed to drive a car more than 5 years old and that same statistic I quoted listening to David Ramsey also quoted a MSNBC news article about a kid making $26,000 ayear saying it is his right for a new $26,000 civic and he can't figure out why he is so broke etc.
Go to control panel and services and disable the service. Or on Linux go into System... oh boy I won't go there:-)
Chrome updates every 6 weeks since well 2009! Only a few times has it ever caused problems. Twice I am aware of with certificates and the other with some unused feature people enabled by default.
Unlike Windows and Firefox, Chrome is designed to be updated frequently architectural wise. It is why the add-ons are more limited than Firefox too.
If everyone in China gets basic income then who would work the factories?
In fact that is the falsey. Who would do lowxrage work and prepare for skyhigh rents and inflation. In the end it hurts those who are productive as the limits of supply and demand would increase rents and mortgages . Not just higher taxes
I had to do this and stress myself to death. I wish you the best of luck and not to sound like a smart ass but I am considering Uber for a weekend job after my certs so I can buy a house and pay off my student loans.:-)
This is perfect for someone who wants to work when he wants too if you are busy and poor in health. I live near an airport so I assume am a gold mine. But I realize not everyone is so luck.y
We are all disposable, yet have value too. Yes, no one owes you a job for 30 years at a company and a fat pension with 100% job security which was only true for a short short time in American history.
But if you believe you can or cannot the answer is yes. You won't try to get better.
You are probably smart if you are on slashdot stastistically wise. You have a tool you can learn new skills on and now run Vm's if you have a computer made in the past 6 years with extensions to run any OS or appliance to do whatever you want imaginable. Even learn Cisco without a router thanks to GSN3 in a VM. Hyper-v has virtual switches and so on etc.Turnkeylinux.com has appliances for coding where you turn it on and you have a development server instantly.
Learn that and if your employer has no needs for those skills go elsewhere. Get certified. Do something. Start a project to gain your own experience.

Or developers are tired of workarounds from IE specific bugs and CSS.
Most sites are still html4 and CSS 2. Just do not want rendering bugs

These are mostly IOP based and wouldn't benefit. Gamers would for bandwidth but are a nich as many young folks who play do not have that nice job to pay for a $3500 system with raid 0 NVE drives.
But does raid 0 support sharing? It is the secret ingredient in the async sauce?
On VM's in a home lab I see no difference between raid 0 and not with SATA on Samsung pros outside of benchmarks.
However, my VM's do boot quicker with the Samsung than the sansdisk that replaced them. The IOPS were better and that made them boot quicker and shutdown. I imagine at work it is the same with database or production VM's too
It isn't a surprise.
But in MS's credit Google and Apple both do the same thing too and store data and send everything in. They just don't show the browsing history
... Who turn off Windows update. All I can say is told you so.
