ping for Windoze users and interested parties...
Thanks. I just shut this off. My data cap doesn’t need updating someone else.
Linux is looking better and better.
later
Mac also, but DH has a Lenovo. Won’t be ‘’upgrading’’. Zerohedge has a pretty disturbing article up today about it. The Surveillance State Goes Mainstream: Windows 10 Is Watching (& Logging) Everything.
Bill Gates is evil.
Unless a racoon, armadillo, skunk, possum, or a fox have a computer, I have nothing to worry about.
I live in the sticks. My internet is via my ATT phone plan and a MiFi hotspot.
No way I won’t disable this when I get windows 10.
Oh, my. . .
this does not increase but would decrease isp data use
Your ISP is you gateway to the Internet..That the WAN
You local network is the PC on the common lan sharing that common ISP WAN connection
so you have 2 or more pc in your house ..old update download would have each pc make it own download from the WAN...so 2 PC x2 downloads .3 PC x3 downloads, ect
new way.. one pc does the download of the update from the Internet.. and then act as the server for the rest...so no matter many.pc yo have at you house..it just the one update download to update all.of them.... so less bandwidth used
For the third time in four days, I will make the same post; “Thanks, I’ll save this post for later. I’ll be glad to get rid of 8.1 but I think I’ll let 10 soak in with the general public for a while first.”
That “soak” period is becoming longer and longer. I do not have the patience now to go through another round of frustration, research, tweaking, third-party add-ons, and learning to run another host program like I did with my 8.1 mess.
Wow. That’s pretty sneaky.
I’ve shut it off.
Thanks for the heads-up.
I am stuck using Windows in my home office, but would never choose that albatross for my personal use. Having said that, it concerns me that if I am forced to upgrade by me employer it would burden me with more Windows BS at personal expense.
When I did a search, the only option from Microsoft I found was "how to uninstall IE 10".
i will never have a computer with windows 10 on it. never. FU Microsoft.
Wow, at least 2 articles tonite about how MS/win 10 is either violating your privacy by default, or turning your PC into a torrent server without your knowledge.
“I use a Mac, but thought this should be shared with those who may use Windoze 10! “
People who continue to use PC’s are the same as people who own British cars. They also have to have at least two so they can hopefully have one that works, and they love to take the time to work on the one that isn’t running. And the kicker is that they have to buy software from a bunch of crooks in Redmond,WA.
“Users can stop sharing updates on capped connections by setting their connection to metered or disabling the delivery optimisation feature entirely.”
Yeah, right. Joe Sixpack sez: “What’s a torrent?”
