A day later they announce Power Shell is open source.
I remember a few months ago they blasted HN's frontpage with news after a few discussions about telemetry and EEE (first wave of Windows 10/UWP showing its true colors).
I don't care enough to do a reddit-esque investigation on HN stories. I just find it funny, that's all.
IMO it does not matter what other people are doing. I'm paying for this software so I want control (over my own hardware). Mobile is a lost cause but I literally can't afford to fight my desktop OS. It must work and be reliable.
Maybe I would accept forced security updates if they allowed live updates. Having to restart your computer is awful.
But that's not even the worse problem. It reset settings, install things you removed, services you don't want, remove features you had before for no reason. Not to mention drivers and all the update problems people are reporting. If there's a chance to break, I must be able to choose when I want to upgrade.
I'm willing to pay more for not having to worry about telemetry, MS account and all that bs.
I think requiring the user to boot a Linux live CD and do some voodoo would be enough. Computer would have to self destruct if you failed the steps tho.
No shit. I was just trying to avoid the year of the linux desktop meme, since I gave up on that already, while also doubting that "they" are going to ditch Windows.
I wouldn't mind paying twice the price of Windows 10 Pro if I could select what I want installed and the OS respected that. No telemetry, no Cortana, no Windows Stores apps if I need to have a MS account. No missclick-based features (you click yes and suddenly your local account is now an online account).
Since I'm stuck with this crap forever (Adobe, Office, games, etc) at least let me pay you not spy on me and install your crapware. And let ME control MY PC.
Thank you but I'm looking for builds from an official and secure source. At the moment I just don't know how to grab the latest stable Windows 64 binaries.
The tool you linked points to "http://chromium.woolyss.com/" who is also showing the build I mentioned (386251 51.0.2704.84) but it's not available on Google's official storage.
About full disk encryption for Windows: what is the safest bet here? I mean, what if a single sector of my disk gets corrupted, will I lose my entire data because of that? What kind of encryption is less prone to data corruption?
I'm worried about this. And how about .tar.gpg backups, if I lose a single byte I lose the entire file?
I did, they said I have a slightly deviated septum, but that's common for most people and there's no need for surgery. And that I shouldn't even feel anything.
I also checked my lungs and everything was fine.
It might be related to a mental disorder or something. I have anxiety and maybe other stuff that I never bothered to fix.
Unrelated but I also gave up on fixing my problem: For the past ~8 years I have a constant feeling that one of my nostrils is almost closed and hard to breath. I went to several doctors, did all kinds of exams and they found nothing.
I feel like I need to blow my nose all the time and it drives me crazy sometimes. It gets worse when I have a flu. Sometimes it even bleeds a little, like it's irritated.
My family thinks I'm crazy so I stopped mentioning a long time ago, and one of the doctors even laughed at me.
