The day when the CEO of some major company involved gets blocked based on being behind a proxy it will start to rot down to nothing - or if too many random people gets blocked because Netflix has detected a proxy on their IP - then it will be an outrage.
It's likely that it's the content providers that thinks that they will profit more from the content if it's made scarce in some areas - at the cost of annoying the consumers.
But the other side of the coin is that it may be seen as discrimination depending on your current location.
Just because this is crappy I have given up TV, it's just depressing.
There's a number of updates that you shall worry about, not only the Win10 nagger.
My list so far: wusa/uninstall/kb:xxxxxxx/norestart
replace/kb:xxxxxxx with the following one at a time:/kb:3083325 /kb:3083324 /kb:2976978 /kb:3075853 /kb:3065987 /kb:3050265 /kb:3050267 /kb:3075851 /kb:2902907 /kb:3068708 /kb:3022345 /kb:2952664 /kb:2990214 /kb:3035583 /kb:3021917 /kb:3044374 /kb:3046480 /kb:3075249 /kb:3080149
optionally also the following, but it's a hit&miss if it's a good idea to uninstall: /kb:971033
Don't run the/quiet option because then you don't know if it's successful or not.
Even more important - don't sign anything that's secret to the public. This means that there can't be any public scrutiny of the implications that such an agreement results in.
And with a pre-arranged language like the Navaho Codetalkers it doesn't matter if someone listens in, it's futile to decode for someone not knowing the language and context.
Just make it clear to anyone not willing to reveal the content of their device that they will face 25 years in prison if they don't cooperate and give the password. I think that would be a lot more effective.
It was not unusual in the early age of copy protection (Primarily under DOS) that the software stored key data for the copy protection in a hidden sector on the disk or past end of file in one of the data files for an application using an unused sector in an cluster but some defrag software only looked at used sectors and ignored the rest.
And in some cases the copy protection was in sector or track metadata outside the physical sector. Sometimes found in copy-protected floppies.
And today it wouldn't be a problem to drop the printed money and only run coins. At least it would be more cumbersome for robbers and drug traffickers.
In some cases you don't have a choice - you may have a software that was developed a long time ago that do exactly what you want and is horribly expensive to replace - and it's tied to a specific OS version. Not unusual at all in some industrial solutions.
There are also software with copy protection schemes that will no longer work if you upgrade, some even gets messed up if you do a defragmentation of your hard disk.
See above for which KBs to uninstall, you need to run it in an Administrator Powershell window, and don't use the "/quiet" option since I have discovered that it may cause the uninstall to silently fail.
Also create an empty file named "$WINDOWS.~BT" in the root of your drives. It will prevent download of Windows 10 if the update still decides to go through.
You haven't used many systems then, in most Linux systems it's up to you to decide when you do the updates and you can also exclude updates if you want in configuration files.

I agree, self-driving cars seems to be pretty useless and a waste of money overall.
Governments shall stick to maintaining the infrastructure itself, not the users of it.

I think that running processes prevents the uninstall so you need to kill them first.

Another possibility is that NSA uses spammers to obfuscate their actions so that the illicit transfer of IP addresses is actually sanctioned by NSA.
From some perspectives it's worse now.

Seems to be normal in some areas of Detroit and Chicago.
Someone must have seen this quote:

Drop the printed notes and run coins only. Few people need larger banknotes these days.
Seems like a good idea to get rid of everything less than a dollar, then make coins only and get rid of the paper notes.
It would make it a lot harder for robbers and drug traffickers. Most people can use a card when shopping and keep the coins for small transactions.

The excuse "Medical privacy" when it comes to a wild animal is really causing the person using it to look like a fool.
The EULA writing allowing them to do whatever they like may not be worth the weight of an A4 paper outside the United States.
That EULA writing may actually not be legal outside the US.
And no version of a Microsoft OS has stopped malware.
I don't trust that joining a computer to a domain will prevent it from getting updated in the future because M$ has decided that "it's safe".
