  1. Are they sharing over lan? on Microsoft Is Downloading Windows 10 Without Asking · · Score: 1

    I have not confirmed this myself but a long-known IT support specialist told me a few days ago that Windows 10 is sharing it's installation files with other computers on your LAN. That could be yet another reason why they download the files regardless of your settings. It's now become a proper malware I guess?

  2. Re:Windows update forcing me to 10 on Microsoft Is Downloading Windows 10 Without Asking · · Score: 1

    I only had to remove one update - the original KB3035583. But there is more that needs to be done by the user. The major goal is to remove it from the Task Scheduler and to delete all that already sits on your hard drive. Unfortunately all those WSX-related tasks are owned by the system and require a good deal of work in PowerShell to get removed.

  3. Life expectancy on Mice Brainpower Boosted With Alteration of a Single Gene · · Score: 1

    What about the life span? Is it affected by this gene alteration?

  4. Warning! Basic math! on Coca-Cola To Fund Research That Shifts Blame For Obesity Away From Bad Diets · · Score: 1

    Obesity = What_you_eat - What_you_burn. Simple. No need for a team of (bribed) PhDs to prove that.

  5. My machine - my rules. on Study: Ad Blocker Use Jumps 41 Percent · · Score: 1

    They somehow believe that our screens are yet another billboard on the e-road. Just like those big blinking street banners in America. Flashing right into your windows days and night. Equally unrelated content that someone thinks is better for us. I really do not need enlarging any parts of my body. They are already big enough :3 But beware! A new sales person has recently joined the hood. His name is Windows 10.

  6. We're doomed on In Windows 10, Ad-Free Solitaire Will Cost You $10 -- Every Year · · Score: 2

    Personally I think that it is just the beginning. Firstly they deprived us of ways to fighting back (automatic updates) and they are going to start stuffing ads wherever they want using unique advertising ID generated for every user.
