I use O&O shutup 10 to shut down cortana, telemetry, and other minor annoyances (mostly because I like video games). Maybe that's why it's been so smooth? And rebooting every other week? You mean on a very regular and predicta

Very much disagree. If you pay attention at all to security you'll always hear stories of that one client who hasn't done security updates in 3 months (or 3 days) and gets taken out by the inevitable "exploit Wednesday"

In regards to whether or not a good location is more desirable today than 5, 50, or 3000 years ago it definitely is. Reminds me of a story I found about Greyhound going down in my neck of the woods. https://www.theguardian.com&#x

While I can say I have the experience of not 'growing' at times (now), I would never say that's the weed's fault. Mostly because I've felt the exact same thing before ever smoking weed (I didn't smoke until my

There is no way sort of some magical overclocking that a 1070 runs everything at 60 fps+ at that res. It has trouble at 1440p with many games. Note the minimum fps (which is the key factor): https://www.tomshardware.com/revi

I've always considered chick the exact same as dude. It's just a synonym for girl/lady. If used improperly it can be offensive, but then I'd argue any sentence you can think of where it's used improperly you could r

Apparently with 'chick' it dehumanizes women, and with ms/miss it's something to do with the fact that you're implying they're young and/or a mistress? I honestly have no idea where people come up with thi

In my case I've been publicly shamed once or twice because I'm not up on what the latest generation finds offensive. Maybe that's just what getting old is though. Apparently we're not allowed to say 'that one chick

Most companies I've worked for (including a bank) you'd be gone the next day. Monitoring is so rampant right now. It's disgusting.

If the courts are saying yes there has to be a justifiable reason. A crime has to have happened. It isn't the 'if you don't have anything to hide...' argument at that point, it's 'if you don't have a crime

When people start fighting for farmland is where I see the real threat. Much more afraid of war than water rising.

The update that deleted files wasn't ever an automatic one. You would have had to manually update. Fingers crossed they didn't mess up another. Seems unlikely.

Bots won't often have a viewpoint. Russia isn't pushing 1 side or the other with these things, but creating mass hatred by taking as extreme a view (left or right) as possible. They're built to pit people against each other,

Even if their sole purpose isn't any 1 side or argument, but just to create as much chaos, anger, and confusion among the masses as roboticly possible?

Trump very well may be fascist. He seems to want America to be more like North Korea anyway. And what was the context of your comments? Maybe copy/paste? Genuinely curious.

The alternative is horrifying though. No regular user ever updates their stuff unless they're forced to, and in a world of increasingly horrifying botnets that can cripple the world economy on command, I can see why having the average

Do you know how many updates have deleted some people's data permanently? It was one of the top call drivers almost every update back in windows XP days. There's a good reason that backup ALL important files is a mantra among peop

XP was a very hot mess back in the day. It grew to be a passable OS, but if you were around IT when it was new you know what a nightmare it was. I still have nightmares about taking calls about the blaster worm. The problems people have wit

Have you had this problem on your computer before installing any other software? The problem with most common windows issues is they have absolutely nothing to do with Microsoft. When you have millions of compatible software packages that p

I agree that sometimes Windows can be puzzling. Though I think most of the 'black box' problems I've encountered in windows have been my own damn fault. I notice people try and "fine tune" it too much. I used to be

I know I'm going to sound like a microsoft employee or apologist, but I really have no skin in the game. I want windows to be better, but I think people are just going to far with minor gripes. Windows 10 has been the least disruptive

Depression is a hell of a drug. Add in constant doom and gloom from every corner of society (why live to be 120 if it's all downhill from here?), a bit of apathy, and a dash of hedonism (with unlimited distractions-you can have endless

The argument I have against this is we now have near perfect surveillance and this isn't happening. I can be a part of a far left socialist movement and spread my ideas as easily as I can be part of this crazy new nazi movement. And

Actual question: am I missing something? I get that facebook is big and powerful, and way too many people use it for their own good, but I'm sitting here talking to a bunch of people on another platform right now. A large chunk of whic

Just to play devil's advocate: does democracy require privacy? It's not like the early 20th century where if you're were a part of the communist party you were suspect. We can pretty much say whatever we want (and we do) with

Even more troubling is deep fake technology that's run rampant. Should a serious director never hire Emma Watson again because she's such a prominent porn actress? Of course "we all know" that's fake. But how would

The finality of cash is also why I typically have none on me. Getting robbed, while rare, would suck real bad if I had more than $20 in my wallet.
