Mind giving me a clue what you're referring to?

Not at all.

Ever hear of MSNBC? Know what the MS part is?

microsh!t is a known evil, and W10 is a known deep state spy. Wake up to what is around you.

OHHHH, okay. Whew. For a minute there I thought you were one of the folks who give me a hard time for posting articles about all the things that are wrong with Microsoft and Windows. (I get called a "Microsoft Hater" or "Windows Hater" pretty often. Even had a few people on my Windows Ping List drop off for that reason, telling me to go to hell in the process.)

I actually am fully aware of the things you describe (MSNBC, Win10 spyware, etc.). And that Microsoft has demonstrated malicious intent for decades. I've spent my entire working life (I'm 65 at present) engineering and supporting computers and computer-based products. And have made a great deal of my living dealing with Microsoft products. You're welcome to check my FR profile page if you want the gory details. You'll see that I'm anything but a Windows/Microsoft fanboi.

I post articles about Windows and Microsoft because, despite being mainly a Unix/Linux type techie, I run the Windows Ping List here at FR. And the reason I do that is simple: For many years I bemoaned the fact that there wasn't a Windows Ping List to alert Windows users to things of interest, mainly of course security issues and other problems, but also new releases that might be of interest. Since nobody else was picking up the ball and doing the list, I decided to do it myself. You can take a look at the early threads on the list and see that I was very upfront about the fact that I'm not personally a Windows fan, but I do believe I've been overall pretty fair.

The majority of the Windows/Microsoft threads I've posted (many hundreds) are not pro-Windows or pro-Microsoft. I don't hate anybody, and I certainly don't waste my time hating a piece of software. But my fellow FReepers have expressed a desire to be informed about what's going on with Windows, and I'm happy to provide that service.

Does that help explain what's up with "my MS BS"? :-)

Best FRegards,
Dayglored
