Windows 10 [Did you upgrade?]

[Sapphic]

Upgraded to Windows 10 when I got the change and have seen a noticeable performance improvement. Did have a couple of issues. Print screen locking up my computer and Uplay doing the same. I fixed it with this:

In the "search the web and windows" type msconfig, select boot tab, advanced options, in the top left untick Debug. Then restart as prompted.

But there’s something you should know: Windows 10 is also spying on nearly everything you do.!!! you can google that its true

Microsoft 10 is a spy software and they dont tell that to users, they know when you start your computer! have fun with it but i stay on windows 7 ^^

And you know what? You can deactivate it! :shock:
-Cortana can be disabled
-No need of Microsoft Account
-Very Good Privacy Options to deactivate any spy function

And you know what? You can Google this from good sources and not the ones you used to freak out!
Every website knows as much as possible from you and if you are using iOS or Android on your mobile it is the same as W10 lol.... you are a real MVP

Really? The explanation is one post over this and you decide not to read it but spam?
If you are using a smartphone: Please throw it away today. More spyware in your life is not even possible....

Jeez... when will people learn to inform themself before talking the same shit as other people?
If 100 websites are explaining that the sun is green it is still not true....

FYI its not me, its you who should google how to use custom rom for your smartphone without spyware(google apps, samsung apps, whatever company apps) eg bare android with FOSS apps only, fw and onion network.
You are welcome, there is no need to trow away device. Maybe if you are using iphone or winphone then yes.

Regarding windows, even you turn off features, they are still there. System is not modular with lot of unusefull social media garbage, worst application store ever you dont even want to use, tiles which looks like you using mobile phone instead of desktop, bad flat desing mainly for touch users(so for only few percent of users) .. and in the end, it doesnt affect performance of FFXIV at all... oh and i forgot licensing... worst licensing ever.

Google has been spying on people for ages.
Apple has been spying on people for ages.
Facebook has been spying on people for ages.
etc.

Now Microsoft does a bit of their own spying, and everyone Riots. I find it funny.

Facebook isn't reading my emails and doesn't have a licensing agreement that says they can use anything in them for any purpose they want.

I'm a political activist with conservative leaning views. Suppose that someday, the establishment decides that they want to start arresting anyone protesting say, gun control? Microsoft essentially has the liberty to start scanning my fking email for that shit and sending data to the government.

How in the bloody hell can you defend that kind of bullshit?

And Facebook can scan your chat lines.
And Google can scan your emails (and does that A LOT when you use gmail to offer you personalized advertisement), your SMS if you use Android, even listen to your calls.
Shall I continue?
NOTHING that is on the Internet is safe or private. Nothing at all.

NSA is collecting everything anyways, but that doesn't mean I'm going to go out of my way and greenlight it.

What they do behind my back is an entirely different story.
