If you truly cared about privacy you would be using Linux.

They actually tell you they're watching you, so you don't get the false sense of security offered by previous versions of windows where they lie about watching you.
>>77217319
If you have no choice but to use it there's a fuckton of stuff you'll need to uninstall and disable. I think there's also a program you can download to stop it from constantly sending information to Microsoft.

The catch is that you can turn almost all of those settings off. Unless you've been using some obscure Linux kernel for the past 10 years people have been "spying" on you anyway, like if you've used Google or Facebook since then. If you really care about privacy it's a larger issue than Windows 10. People acting all flustered and outraged is just a reddit meme.

If you want to fuck them over and stay private then use DWS(Destroy Windows Spying) from the same guys that made KMSpico.
>>77218937
Oh fucking man, you should have been in one of my 3D modeling courses.
Every fucking person except for me and one other guy (who also actively used 7) was a Macfag. Oh the bitching that occurred when they were told most of our programs can't run on Mac was painful.
We ended up going back to the department and begging the faculty to have "Exceptional knowledge of Microsoft Windows or very similar operating systems" or something to that effect as a prerequisite. People seriously dropped out just because they didn't know how to use anything other than a shitty Macbook Air.
>>77219196
Ok, good. Course bullshit happened back when they first started vomiting out 10 and people fell for the upgrade, so things may have been fixed finally.
>>77219415
Why are they pushing this so fucking hard?

7 IS the upgrade over 10.
>>77218780
Same.
Now I have downloaded it but not installed, and I CANT GET WINDOWS UPDATES until I upgrade.
I found the hidden download folder on the C drive but no matter what I try I cannot get myself the permissions to delete it.
What an actual virus.

Sim. Funciona perfeitamente. Há semanas que deixei de ter problemas com as actualizações automáticas do Windows 10.
>>77218780
Happens to me too. My SSD is full though so it cant download it due to lack of space.
>>77218780
This shit just happened to me about 2 weeks ago, I left my computer on for a couple hours and when I came back, motherfucking Windows 10 had installed itself.

>>77215667

Your MICROSOFT password is being saved, on your MICROSOFT account, which you're completely free to skip with signing in with a local account.
Forced updates are annoying, that's it. Other than that, the OS is the most friendly Windows ever to me.
>>77218018
Who uses the app store, or apps on Windows?
>>77215602
They want to sell Windows as a service, with a subscription.
>>77219714
No, I believe you.
I mean why is microsoft pushing everyone so hard to make the windows 10 update. They are giving it away for free, so why bother if anyone doesn't want it? They also said "it will only be free for 2015 then you all have to buy it". It is 6 months into 2016 and they still throw it away for free.
I don't understand them.
>>77219714
There is a specific Windows update that places the large pop-up on your PC that forces you to schedule an upgrade time.
It's been found that pressing X, I shit you not, equates to "I agree" and some versions of it don't even let you close it out.
If you ignored it for too long, it could be what's forcing the automatic install.
>>77219824
>>77219860
Install the GMX control Panel
>>77219535
This.
There are tools out there that are designed to stop the telemetry and data gathering when you use windows 10. Honestly, I would use the enterprise version and lock it down completely by managing which services are allowed to do certain things. You're able to manage updates, as well, but in a limited fashion.
How will Windows put up a telescreen if my internet is shitty?

with DWS you can disable updates as well. I did.

I think the main reasons they are pushing it so hard is they are tired of people running old OS versions and having to do legacy support.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Everybody seems to be extremely confused at this as well.
Their marketing tactics to lure people in have been quite... interesting to say the least. Coming from a strategic communication background before going into graphics and games, I can 100% tell you they aren't hiding much aside from their end-goal.
For whatever reason, they want people on the OS so badly that they even let people install it for free. That drew so many in originally since nobody wants to pay for the OS. The money they get later is just icing on the cake. They even went as far to make certain computer chips simply incompatible with 7 and 8, thus forcing a 10 update after a certain day.

Ok, here. Bit more to it than the single update responsible for the scheduling of the "upgrade" to windows 10.
If you're on Win 7 with Service Pack 1, KB3035583, KB2952664, and KB3021917 are the files you want to remove. If you're on Win 8.1, KB3035583 and KB2976978.

It's fucking disgusting. Only possible thing I can think of them wanting to actually do from a civilian level is sell information to Big Data analytics groups and researchers. The higher-level implications are out of my scope of knowledge, and it starts to get a little tinfoil after a while.
In the long-term, the amount of individual contracts they can set up with people for "muh data crunching" reasons can rake in so much money, we wouldn't believe it.
Half the Big Data shit today with independent researchers is literally "lol y do people buy whatever"-tier stuff while compiling disgustingly private information about people websites just store. Its actual validity is questionable because of people who just like looking at things they aren't interested in (referring to search history and product look-up habits), but then again, most regular people shop based on realistic interest. Generally speaking, people place a lot of value on honesty, so literally building lives around doing things you otherwise wouldn't normally do just to fool data collectors is unrealistic.
Partially why I refused to go into that field because of how invasive the actual numbers you're working with really are. I can see why Microsoft wants to move into that though.

Having a family member who went balls-deep into the Silicon Valley Kool-Aid, it's true that a lot of company """"""""transformation"""""""" people gained ground due to outsourcing programming jobs. It's just cheaper and theoretically easier. It's based off claims that they're helping other nations and making the company look better hurr durr muh heal the world plan.
A lot of programmers I at least know of personally look towards building their own stuff rather than getting hired out unless there's a company they're dying to work for.
Considering the political climate now, they're all also shitting bricks.

Thanks, I checked it and I still have those files in my computer. But since I installed GMX the automatic updates have stopped and the pop up never appeared again. So maybe that's the last step?

>>77221416
>if it installs automatically then it most likely means you install other updates automatically too.
Most people don't look into what every last update they install is. They probably disable automatic updates and then when they're done with their computer for the day/week/month/whenever the fuck they finally turn it off for a few hours, they'll let it update and shut itself down when finished. If KB3035583 is installed, even if automatic updates are off, it won't matter. The point of that particular update is to schedule, download, and install Windows 10 to your system no matter if you want that particular piece of shit or not.
>>77221815
You're welcome. If you have those files, go ahead and get rid of them. GWX will be entirely unnecessary at that point, especially if you hide those particular updates from your available update list. That is, of course, unless GWX watches for other things beyond an attempt to force a shit OS on you. Can't really say for sure since I'm unfamiliar with the program, just saw at a glance and it looked like an anti-Win10 deal.
>>77221944
no

What do you even mean by that? If you want to know what w10 looks like then Google it. I'm on my phone.

Nobody is being paid to shill for Microsoft. It is an Apple funded lie and a pathetic attempt to smear their campaign.
Feels good to be using Linux for years now and never have to worry about dealing with Microsoft Windows bullshit.
>>77219593
They make more money off having people update so they can:
1) Mine people's data
2) Get people locked into their walled-garden app store
3) Not have to spend money supporting older versions of Windows as much
>>77219579
Mac OS X is a Unix operating system largely comprised of free open-source software. It's far less locked-down, better, and doesn't spy on you as much as Windows.

>The thing is, if they follow my posts and the things I like in kikebook, they'll pretty much find an inoffensive adult kid who likes memes and hates jews. Doesn't that seem like a waste of resources? I'll never harm anyone
They will blackmail you if you ever become an important person who doesn't do what they want. If you remain Jao Fereirafuckface no one will care. That's the point, every future politician/leader/anyone with influence will have some dirt on them that they can be blackmailed with.
>>77222672
>That was only in the old versions, before the public release.
And what in the fuck makes you think anybody's going to believe you?
>>77222902
I really don't get why you so many of you guys think any company is going to waste time/money shilling anything here. This has to be the worst possible place on the internet to try and shill something. You'd be lucky to end the day having people here not hate your product even more.
>>77223123
Because Microsoft specifically said that?
>>77223192
Just because they say it doesn't mean they still aren't doing it or won't covertly do it in the past.
Even if you are trolling, don't tell us you actually think that companies like them will actually tell the truth forever?

>>77223178
No it's confirmed that Microsoft shills on /g/
They actually had a mod sticky a surface ad when it was being released and there were multiple threads trying to hype it
>>77223323
It's to a point where this is a meme.

That's probably because when a new product is released /g/ tends to have way too many threads about it. For example when Windows 10 was released, there was 42 threads on /g/ about Windows 10.
>>77223264
How is my position any less reasonable than yours? They claim they stopped it. You say they didn't. Why?
>>77223582
If you're called a shill, might as well roll with it.

Use a media player that doesn't suck then? Who uses VLC?
>>77220615
The fuck are you people doing with your computers? Everyone I know uses Windows 10, and I've never heard of this problem. Even my 10 year old laptop managed to run it without breaking (not WELL, but it's an old laptop)
If it's so broken, why not switch to Linux now?
I installed 10 on my and my dads computer but (luckily) had to revert to 8 on mine. My dad keeps asking me for help because some Cortana app gets bugged and he can't learn to just restart his pc to fix this shit. Sorry, dad.

They want information. Give me one good reason for them to scrap information mining operations AFTER the free release of an OS this early.
Yes, anyone can logically argue that 8 happened because they tried to break into the tablet world, failed horrendously with the Surface among actual tablet users, and pissed everybody off because 8 looked and ran like shit. However, instead of backtracking, they just released 10 and started inhaling information.
>>77223905
windows 10 is a piece of shit.
and it will remain so no matter how much you shill for it.
>>77223957

>>77223957
Just turn off Cortana
she collects the most data anyways
>>77215602
Windows 10 suddenly installed itself on my laptop yesteday.
When it finished I declined the user agreement thing and then it went back to 8.
I have to wonder if people that didn't want it still just went ahead and accepted the agreement out of habit.

Why is VLC such an excellent media playback program?
And free for the sakes of jew rage.
I even installed it on android because the default one just isnt as compatible.
VLC should be the standard.
>>77223983
I'm not gonna argue about the ethics or mindset at Microsoft, because I'm not gonna pretend like I know. Tbh senpai I'm not really that big on privacy. I mean back in 2013 when Snowden happened I was - I used tails os, praised Stallman, then i stopped browsing /g/ and I just care about usability.
I also pirate shit all the time. Shows, anime (though I kind of fell out of anime in 2015), Flash for /f/, and some games. It's not like ive ever gotten in trouble for it.
From purely a usability standpoint, it's just superior, as well as aesthetics.

>Why is VLC such an excellent media playback program?
It is free open-source software, has a standard design that is easy for normies to use, and it's based off ffmpeg so it plays almost any media format.
If someone wants to play a video file and they don't know much about computers, I agree they should just install VLC.
My biggest issues with VLC is that it:
- Doesn't have high-quality upscaling/rendering compared to something like mpv when properly configured
- Doesn't have as good of support for streaming videos from websites like mpv does through youtube-dl
- Seeks through video very slowly compared to mpv.
- Requires the use of a graphical toolkit driven user interface and other bloat I don't want
- Lacks ability to be used from the command line or in a shell script compared to mpv
- Lacking miscellaneous features like being able to frame-step backwards, or an equivalent to mpv's mkv-subtitle-preroll

Only need to hang on another month or two then the 1 year free upgrade period is up and I can't see why they would still upgrade you.

For Windows I agree. On Linux however, AMD GPUs currently have the best drivers available.
The proprietary Nvidia drivers have the best 3D performance, but they're a piece of shit that doesn't integrate with a typical Linux system otherwise.
The FOSS nvidia drivers are getting better, but still don't support many (newer) cards, they don't even have automatic re-clocking support, pretty terrible performance no matter what, and there's still many bugs to be worked out.
I'm never buying an Nvidia GPU again for these reasons.
>>77226123
tfw I only play pre 2013 games and weebshit
Feels good 2bh, modern games are garbage imo, all I care about is the CPU for my autism simulators.
>>77226123
>For Windows I agree. On Linux however, AMD GPUs currently have the best drivers available.
Wrong. The official nvidia driver has better performance than the official amd driver. However the open source amd driver is far superior to the really shitty open source nvidia one. Both open source ones are worse than their closed source official alternatives though.

It's like you didn't even read my post.
Also I'm not talking about the terrible piece of shit that is the fglrx proprietary AMD drivers, I'm talking about xf86-video-ati or the new xf86-video-amdgpu, mesa, libdrm, and the Linux kernel itself.
>>77226542
I understand that modern games are shit... still playing quakeworld since i have no actual interest in this cancerous entertainment software.
Also, what's with the absurd RAM useage? I use a program called Advanced System Care, and it has this button to clean RAM. In Windows 7, when I clicked it, it cleared like 30 or 40 Mb. Now when I do it it goes from 140 to 500 Mb... And I haven't even installed that much stuff

Running Arch and enjoying every second of it.
Enjoy your botnet.
If you want a poo-in-the-loo designed OS
that will advertise on your homescreen
and you appreciate the fact that it was cobbled together by poo-in-loo programmers who mashed windows 7 and 8 together, fucked up so bad they skipped 9, and made it 10 to compete with os "x"
Any os that you can open a control panel, then open the same yet different "control panel app" at the same fucking time, it's fucking wasteful and nuts. Phone OS mashed onto win NT. Fucking tragedy to even think of adding items to the control panel applet
If you want a decent transition distro from Win7, try Zorin OS (Ubuntu)

Windows just keeps getting shittier and shitter. Remember when computers were COMPUTERS?
Windows 98 had more fucking features than Windows 10 - GOD DAMN
>>77228684
Everyone should run Arch
It teaches you the core principles of maintaining an OS so you don't have to call up "that tech guy" or a repair shop to fix the computer you fucked up yourself. If you learn how to run it it will never crash or do anything weird.
Everyone in our country should be running Linux or OS X. I have nothing against co-operating with USA, the problem is that Windows has been redesigned to harvest and sell your personal data and waste your time with adverts and other distractions.
