Why should I know such weird tricks to be able to use my laptop to give a damn presentation?
Anyway, it's about two years too late to give me any recommendations about Windows. I couldn't be happier without it.
But when people say that automatic updates are a good thing, I have to intervene and call it bullshit.
- izacus 10y agoI'm pretty sure that windows won't install s if you enable presentation mode.
- majewsky 10y agoAutomatic updates are a good thing for the others that won't get infected or DDOSed by you, and a bad thing for yourself if the update breaks. It's probably net positive from a strictly utilitarian POV, but not from an individual POV.
- tonyplee 10y agoThe correct way to do network security in any OS is to block every programs from connect to internet unless explicitly allow by users. It should also notify user a new/unknown program is attempted to connect to internet and allow user option to allow/block. Not the way it does now where every programs are allowed by default. However, that will be in conflict with the new biz model of win10 which is convert itself into a big Ad machine like Google/Android. BTW, in my win10 configuration, I only allow Firefox, Chrome and Window Defender to connect to internet with Window Firewall. It works well, stable, reasonably fast and long uptime. Best of all : No more force update from Windows.
