Magres posted:Actual question: How much of the poo poo I see online about Win10 being awful and invasive is actually true? Only reason I haven't upgraded is because I keep seeing poo poo about invasive "features" of Win10 You can turn things off like the peer-to-peer updates and I've never seen a single ad. Like most things online or on SA or in Nilgoow's posts, it's way overblown and poorly informed.

Uh huh. This January I went to my dad's place for new years. He had a laptop upgraded to windows 10, and he wanted me to turn off some of the invasive stuff. Not only did that require a ridiculous amount of effort (including registry editing as some options in the settings actually didn't work), the OS was really buggy and annoying. Hey, maybe he hasn't updated it to the latest pack or whatever. All I know is that what I had to use was a piece of poo poo, and I'm not upgrading until I see a marked improvement.km_ posted:Haswell architecture doesn't support DDR2. poo poo you're right sorry. I was building another computer at that time that did use ddr2. John Lightning posted:So you don't want a modern OS that will receive constant updates including security updates for the foreseeable future? Suit yourself but I'm pretty sure most of SH/SC will agree with me. I don't want poo poo forced installed on me no. But yeah windows 7 is loosing support and soon windows 8 will follow suit. By then I'll have switched. With windows 10 as it is now, not a chance in hell

It's not so much that Windows 10 is particularly evil or invasive, just that it's slightly more evil and invasive in ways that indicate that they're probably going to slowly increase the invasiveness levels via background updates until Microsoft can basically do whatever it wants to with your computer. They probably won't do this often, but eventually something heinous is going to happen. Plus of course the NSA is going to want in on whatever they're able to do. Also it uninstalled my scanner utility program without telling me it was doing that. What's even up with that?

Windows Vista, 7, 8 , 10 is "Demonware" I run windows XP, (the last OS Bill Gates personally worked on before he was replaced) with hacked drivers so I can play modern games. It's a shame windows 9 was axed by the government cause it had no phone home root kits in it.

I was gonna type up a response but then I decided I don't care enough. So just think about this: If you're worried that Microsoft is gonna know how much porn you watch well I got some news for you, Google, Facebook and every other AD agency out there already knows what time you take your shits and what you eat for breakfast.

I've seen occasional ads for the latest version of Office (because I have an outdated version) at 50% off. But they really aren't a big deal (they act just like any other notification) and Windows 10 loving owns.

Until then, my last look into windows 10 was simply unfavorable.  Thanks for beta testing it though. I'll enjoy it later when it isn't a turd.And yeah, we fixed the processing issues in guild chat. I had gw2 set to have unlimited framerate. I cut that back to 30fps and it's not hogging everything anymore. It was a pain, and I'm glad I can watch youtube and play gw2 at the same time again.

I honestly think you're just trolling really poorly at this point because Windows 10 is objectively fantastic, and I can't remember the last time I encountered a bug but knowing your technical expertise you probably think OS bugs are literally ants inside your dust encrusted computer case so I dunno anymore.

Thanks for coming out and helping make things a success  For anyone who couldn't make it tonight, or who we did not have room for, I will be running another learning raid next week! I'm planning to do them every week for like the next month, and every now and then after that as there's demand for them. Raiding is actually fun and not scary if you're with people who aren't jerks! E: knowonecanknow posted:For everyone who came out tonight I'll try to organize us to continue in a day or so. Cool! You'll also likely find some folk in BURD who will be interested, cause we have like ~13 people who raid regularly and often have 1-2 beyond what a single raid can handle.

I got my new Windows 10 Pro computer about a week ago. I had to change the Group Policy just to be able to stop auto updates, which apparently isn't even an option if you got Windows 10 Home. NVidia and Windows 10 have not been agreeing with each other the past week. Lots of sudden freeze-ups in GW2. Win 10 also just deleted every System Restore point I had, then disabled System Restore after I installed their latest update. Which I enabled earlier because somehow Windows 10 has it disabled by default. And tonight the NVidia driver started crashing repeatedly. Dreggon posted:it objectively rendered my computer unusable after a restart This almost happened to me too, but I had manually made a Restore point on a whim, and after 3 reboots I finally got to use it. I'm still  that it was turned off by default, then turned off again after an update.

I cannot comprehend why you'd want to disable updates  They're forced automatically because they contain critical security fixes that people would just put off. I have an Nvidia card, a 970, on Windows 10 and haven't had a single problem. Anecdotes can come from both sides, but I'm curious how you had so many issues, there's always a reason. I haven't had a GW2 crash since switching to the 64-bit client.e: also Windows 10 being stable and good is pretty big and real because enterprises are finally moving to it, after being on 7 for so long CLAM DOWN fucked around with this message at 08:22 on Mar 14, 2016 |

The only real reason to avoid upgrading versions of Windows is because they make it harder each time to customize their terrible ~contemporary design~ UI with your own meme fonts and tasteless color schemes. I'll have you back, one day...

This, but also for the time of day. Is there any chance of anyone ever doing one that's a little more euro friendly? I'd probably manage around reset but any later than that and it's 3 in the morning. Timezones are the worst.
