You appear to be mistaking defending Microsoft with calling out bullshit tinfoilhattery Why do you feel the need to reinforce it?

No, sorry Burden of proof is on you for this one, how about how you explain how Microsoft is stealing all your data and the reasoning behind you wanting to create a tinfoil hat? Bonus points of it includes pictures of nazis

Truga posted:See, this is what I'm talking about. Either microsoft can do no wrong, or microsoft is literally nazi Advising someone how to turn off the add tracking etc using the options provided during install and within windows, that's all good. Linking someone to this: https://github.com/10se1ucgo/DisableWinTracking Which does, something? That's you making a tinfoil hat, and encouraging others to do the same

Truga posted:It does "something" in that it's a python script that disables all the scattered things in 1 click. But no need to believe me, the source is right there on the page I linked, you can check it yourself! nah, that's OK I'll have a look once you can show me what all this data that's being sent to microsoft contains, and how it will affect me in a negative way

Because spreading misinformation doesn't do anyone any good Guy comes in asking how to disable 'privacy bullshit', and you link a tool that disables a whole load of random stuff, but you don't really know what it does, or what exactly it is stopping Microsoft sending.

This is the issue people have, and you are making it worse I shall chill now

wookieepelt posted:Is there a reason to use ad blockers from a security standpoint? I know that a lot of sites only function because of ad revenue, and I haven't used an ad blocker because of that. I'm not trying to be contrary or anything, just curious as to why ad blockers seem to be such a big deal that people don't use Edge because of the lack of ad blocking. Security aside most websites are an assault on the eyes with ads The few times I have to go without I'm amazed anyone can deal with all that poo poo. It makes the internet an unpleasant experience

I also had sleep crashing issues with the intel ME, but switching to the ones installed by windows update and ditching the older intel ones actually fixed it for me The intel installer wouldn't let me go above version 9.5 of the MEI drivers, whereas windows update installed version 11

During the first month where there were so many updates requiring restarts coming through, it was annoying to be fair Now its settled down I think i'm down to around 1 restart a week looking at the install history. It also seems to have figured out well when I'm not using the computer, so I've not noticed the restarts at all I can understand the dislike for it, but then if it means less unpatched PCs owned by idiots out there then I'm willing to deal with it The vague patch notes (in relation to security anyway) is getting fairly industry wide these days unfortunately, is it any different on 7/8 now?

No real reason aside from getting a free upgrade If this was some kind of sneaky way around getting a free upgrade of windows that someone had discovered, no one would have a problem jumping through the hoops. Just because it's an official microsoft solution being offered, and they've made it pretty clear what exactly you are being given, it's the worst thing in the world Goons

Splode posted:No matter how many hidden check boxes I untick, my computer turns itself on in the middle of the night by itself. This OS sucks. Are you sure its windows doing it? Spotify would turn on mine in the middle of the night until that version got fixed. Not saying that is your issue particularly, but you may want to look elsewhere for blame and even a fix

The free version of crashplan can do that, and then if they ever want to pay for cloud backup in the future it'd be nice and easy

If it doesn't work in 7 either that would suggest a hardware issue and its just a bad coincidence, nothing to do with 10 Or a bad cable?
