THE LAST Windows update you will need.

[hoosierham]

For later.

You know Gates is serving The One’s spying needs on the peasants

[jdege]

I moved to Mint after Ubuntu started down the dark path.

[SandRat]

is the MicrCoSoft Data Burglar also in Win - Ex 11?

[SaveFerris]

Just another reason I’m resisting Windows 10. And I miss the old days of Windows programming.

[Swordmaker]

Pinging an oh my. . .

[dayglored]

Is Microsoft being sneaky again? ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

[mrsmith]

No ‘Connected User Experiences and Telemetry Service’ listed in my w10 services.

If Windows 10 deleted CCleaner, why is CCleaner running on my PC right now with Windows 10 as my OS?

What is the best Quicken alternative on Linux (without running a Windows emulation) that lets you track expenses as well as investments AND connect to a bank?

[60Gunner]

But will I be able to play my MMORPGs on Linux? I’m seriously thinking of loading it onto my PC. I hate Microtheft with a seething, foaming passion.

[School of Rational Thought]

so how does one turn it off

[Mr. K]

Linux would be in a great position to take over a huge segment of the market right now if only there was some central company behind it managing the marketing...

But its free, right? so who is going to make that effort

[publius911]

Microsoft spent millions portraying Google as a greedy and amoral data marauder. Redmond doesn't need to read your email, it told everyone. The Scroogled campaign positioned Microsoft itself as the ethical alternative; the occupier of the moral high ground.

For a while, it was. But Windows 10 is bad for your privacy, and it is damaging Microsoft's reputation as a trusted consumer brand.

First of all, I want to thank the anonymous professionals who work so well for the benefit of the rest of us, who can't do what they do.

Second, thanks all the Windows users who give us clues as to the most useful versions of Linux to try to break free from the ever arrogant Microsoft criminal enterprise.

It is finally time for me to switch to something less unpredictable and honest.

Thanks to all.

THE LAST Windows update you will need.

Now running on two of my laptops.

[Dad x 3]

I’m running Win7 and found DigiTrack on the Services tab. I right-clicked on it and chose ‘Stop Service,’ but got “The operation could not be completed. Access is denied.” How does one shut it off or block it?

[NonValueAdded]

The referenced update indicates it was released by 3080149 (Win 8.1)

[Jack Hydrazine]

You all should watch this video about disabling Win10 spying. He explained by Win10 is free by saying that (paraphrasing here), “Win10 is not the product, YOU are.” You won’t believe just how big of a window Microsoft and the intel agencies have into your life.

For the record, I am no computer whiz. However, I did upgrade to Windows 10.

Has anyone else here used Cortana? I am reluctant because to sign up sounded like I would have to give away all my personal information & browsing history. Not that I have anything to hide, but I still like my privacy. Also, whenever I try to see myself talking to a computer, no matter it “personable” it may appear, I feel stupid.

Am I just ignorant?
