You don't need a criminal act for a court to be used, courts are also used for civil actions like disagreements about money. In the UK fines can be contested in civil courts.
SMART monitoring is where modern OSes utterly fail, it should be a core part of OS functionality, the OS should warn you when a SMART stat goes bad but MS et al would rather put some stupid shopping experience into the OS instead.
I cycle a lot and in the last coupe of years, bicycle rear lights have been getting way too bright and they f**kin flash on and off that nasty brightness just to piss you off that extra bit. I don't need to see your fkkin bike light from 2 miles away you tw@ts. Please class these in the same league as nuclear weapons.
I don't f**king believe it, you have to have an email address for every account, WHAT THE FUCK, what if the children/grand parents/friends etc don't have email addresses? What if you just want to create another account for trouble shooting purposes because sometimes individual accounts get borked.
This is some nasty control-freakery and another good reason not to get windows 10, what an awful pile of shit
On android, voice control has an easy off switch in settings. Whether or not voice control on Android requires internet I don't know, I would guess it does.
You don't get it, reprocessing nuclear waste is horribly expensive, that's why here in Britain, even though we were charging high rates to reprocess waste we still decided to shut it down anyway.
Nuclear using reprocessed fuel costs 30c+ per kWh as compared to 2c to 10c per kWh for coal, gas, solar, wind, hydro, geothermal etc.
Even off-shore wind costs half of what electricity made with reprocessed fuel costs.
My processor is better by the looks of the page you linked, especially when it comes to power usage. And it's 3-4 years old now and newer intel chips aren't much better either.
If you browse the web or download software then you are also at risk of getting a Trojan which could steal your banking details, regardless of MS updates. If you allow some combination of javascript/webgl/pdfs/java/flash/video etc from dozens of sites to run in your browser for every website you visit then you've increased you chance of getting hit by a driveby vuln's tenfold.
Most MS security updates relate to parts of the OS which I don't use, some are privilege escalation vuln's, which let's face it, if bad code is running n your machine then you're likely screwed anyway.
I don't like Win10 because of the big brother issues with it, not because it's unstable.
180% of the performance used to take 1 to 2 years, not ten. The latest increments in performance are now only 5-10%. Also there were CPUs with much lower TDPs prior to the 920. Silicon has reached the end of the line, I look forwards to 10ghz to 100ghz chips with some other technology.
If AMD come up with a chip that is 50% to 100% faster than my I7-3770k then I'll strongly consider going back to AMD, but the current tech has totally stagnated (amd and intel) over the last decade.
I wouldn't touch win10 with a barge pole, win7 updates turned off now.
Literally every tool ever invented has cut out menial jobs and increased worker productivity. And we are better for it.
You don't get it, the worker in the statement above will be an AI* robot. It will be the worker using better tools, not a human, the human is fired, the AI robot gets the humans job.
The decider for what percentage of the workforce is replaced by robots depends on how intelligent the robots are, if robots are intelligent as 75% of the workforce then 75% of the workforce gets replace by robots, if robots are as intelligent as 95% of the workforce then 95% of the workforce gets replaced by robots.
Get it now? If not then you're next up to be replaced by an AI robot.
* I don't believe we're about to create robots anywhere near as intelligent as people and if we did, angry jobless humans will smash them to bits.
As a gamer who always buys graphics cards, I don't want my CPU to cost more and have die space wasted with GPU that I will never use. If Intel, AMD and Nvidia got their act together my GFX card could be turned off whilst I'm not playing games and that onboard GPU would have a use, but sadly they haven't and gigawatts of electricity is wasted. Even getting AMD chips to use power saving has been a total pain to get working in the past - and the amount of power saved could buy a new processor over a few years.
Yeah, BT have been milking it for call-blocking revenue. I only have a landline because it's mandatory for internet, it's been unplugged for months because I got sick of cold calls. The govt need to break up the landline cartel, Virgin, BT etc have raised their prices from £10 to £17 per month over the last few years whilst inflation has been near to zero and the costs have fallen not increased.
"The site has closed down more than 125,000 accounts associated with terrorism"
^ This, folks is what's known as propaganda and it's utter BS.
It doesn't take more than a couple of seconds of logical thought to realise that either the 125,000 number is wrong or the accounts are not associated with terrorism, unless you include talking about terrorism to mean 'associated with terrorism'
Wouldn't a better idea be on how to get rid of win10 if your computer came with it. Why would anyone want to log in to such an atrocity./Sticking with 7, Linux next?
All webmasters should do time+motion study to get it into their heads that people want to do things quickly and 1 click is better than 5 clicks.
Google seem to delight in adding extra clicks in order to deter you from logging in or out, Logging in to google breaks my password managers 1-click functionality and requires 2 extra clicks. Fully logging out involves several page loads and no less than 7 clicks.
"Applying your exact same logic, should the speed limit be zero (The only truly 'safe' speed)?"
Indeed and that is why I support closing down through roads to rat-running, allowing only bikes and pedestrians through to encourage cycling and walking and to reduce injuries and deaths from unnecessary traffic around where people live.
The simple fact is there are far too many serious injuries and deaths here in the UK and the US is twice as bad, so 30mph isn't suitable in residential area here, note - higher speeds on some main roads is ok depending on circumstances. Some London Boroughs have changed to 20mph and life goes on.
Judging by the tens of thousands of life-changing aka serious injuries, the chance of being hit is far too high. And BTW you fail to even understand what logical thinking is.
Silly fecker doesn't get it, these people make up the laws as they go along, yes they are written down but the point is - they have a tendency to interpret the law however they want to, whether or not you win depends on how authoritarian the judge is.
^ This applies to unique cases, in cases where the same ground has been trodden a thousand times before, you can know what to expect.

Funny because you're view corresponds to that of the people who are quite happy to completely fuck up nature.

The only time my PC should be connecting to MS servers is when I'm doing an update, all of the rest should have an off switch.

8 years after this chip is released and the current chip isn't even twice as fast!! Silicon CPU progress has almost ground to a halt :-(

So go by bicycle it'd be a lot quicker.
