I just want to talk to Scarlett again. Is that so much to ask?!What, you too good to talk to Cortana? Just close your eyes and pretend she's Siri. And be glad she isn't Jane from "Ok Google"/Google Now.

If you say so, Joaquin.I just want to talk to Scarlett again. Is that so much to ask?!
If you say so, Joaquin.
Yeah I meant the upgrade, sorry if that wasn't clear. Every time I turn on my computer it pops up going HEY CONGRATS YOU GET AN UPGRADE LET'S UPGRADE NOW WHEEE!!That's part of the point of the new system, that you can't. Too many were just never updating. Yes this is a case of the mass of idiots impacting those who were doing it right, but IMO it isn't that hard a pill to swallow.
Edit: or did you mean the upgrade? No idea there. I thought you meant Windows updates.
What are you using instead, then? Just MSE?Punted avast. It was responsible for files taking up to 15 seconds to load. Now pictures and videos fire up immediately again.
I'm using the built in Windows Defender.What are you using instead, then? Just MSE?
I hope you're also running adblock and also regularly scanning with Malwarebytes, in that case. The windows security suites have really slid downhill the last few years.I'm using the built in Windows Defender.
Adblock plus and ghostery are still running on Firefox. Just ABP for Chrome. I'll look into Malwarebytes a bit later. Working tonight, so bed.I hope you're also running adblock and also regularly scanning with Malwarebytes, in that case. The windows security suites have really slid downhill the last few years.
I've used nothing but built in windows defender for the past five years, and I think the last time I had a computer virus was close to 15 years ago.I hope you're also running adblock and also regularly scanning with Malwarebytes, in that case.

New rash of malvertising attacks threatens millions of Web surfersI hope you're also running adblock and also regularly scanning with Malwarebytes, in that case. The windows security suites have really slid downhill the last few years.
Yep. This. This is why adblocking software is mandatory for web browsing. Affiliate advertising is a neverending shitball of passed bucks and irresponsibility. It's even worse than radio.
Well huzzah.
1) yes. The only safe option is to block all ads. Sorry, websites. Affiliate advertising is too dangerous.Well huzzah.
Ok, so I run with ABP "allowing non-intrusive ads" (because some sites to merit some ad dollars as long as they don't annoy me too much) and a few trusted sites (Halforums being one of them).
1. If one of my "trusted sites" gets a crappy ad, I'm fucked?
2. Could this be an issue through "non-intrusive" ads? I don't know how or where they determine the difference.
3. What added benefit would Ghostery give?
This would be the first time I've heard of a PC needing a mod chip. Someone I read, however, said it disabled his third party/modded Xbox controller.I assume they mean things like mod chips (and possibly video output dongles for recording/streaming content without permission). Also there's how it completely and utterly breaks the SecureROM and SafeDisc DRM schemes, so you know, no more games like BioShock, Mass Effect, The Sims...

As far as we know.No, Windows 10 is not spying on you. No, Windows 10 is not sending the contents of your hard drive to the FBI.
What gets me is people who should know better, like Leo Laporte, are spreading this tinfoil hattery FUD.As far as we know.
DUN DUN DUN!!!
I believe it's anything you type that you have Cortana enabled to respond to, because that text goes to Microsoft to process what Cortana will do.IIRC there's also some clause about whatever you type into search boxes being used, but again, that makes sense. You're searching through them, thus they use that information.
It would be creepy if it extended to anything you type which I believe is what some are accusing, but I haven't seen an explicit reference to at this time.
