A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

We agree how sinister and dystopian it is to need to work against your hardware/os vendor for something like this though, right?

Shutup 10 exists, but that doesn't make it OK that Windows users have to continuously be on guard for MS to try snooping on them, either.

Spending time to this is waste of life, it used be you setup the PC and it was good, now it is maintenance. I could not justify it any longer... made that switch.
