Where is that post about all the things you hate about Windows 10? There's a streamer I watch who is stubborn AF to realize that Windows 10 is the root of her entire comp problems. No joke she literally changed out EVERYTHING except her choice of OS & is still having problems.

I’m not sure if I’ve outline it in a single post... this or this might be closest to what you’re looking for. I personally haven’t had issues with Windows 10 (on older and newer computers, the worst was having to reinstall printer drivers for an old printer), but I’ve heard that it’s been a hit and miss for some people. On the streamer’s end, it might be that companies haven’t updated some drivers/programs to work with Windows 10. If that’s the case then the only two options are a) wait for updates, or b) revert back to whatever version of Windows she had before.

Thoughts on Stuxnex, the slow rise in ransomware, & BIG NAME Websites who aren't aware of the malware they're harboring?

I’m no security expert so I’m not too familiar with the exact details of these things but I’ll give my opinion anyway:

It just goes to show that the more we rely on technology, and the Internet in particular, the worse malware will get. People will use computers and the Internet to make more and more sophisticated attacks, like when airplanes were invented and people began dropping bombs from them. Personally I only expect it to get worse.

That being said, I really think ransomware is a dick move. The people distributing this don’t always know who they’re going to trap, so they could end up attacking something like a hospital where one of their loved ones was staying in. The chances of that are low, I admit, but hospitals have been hit by ransomware before, and to me it seems like they’re sinking really low to go after a hospital.

Also, re: websites: They should really check what they’re advertising. Some of the recent ads on Tumblr look really shady, and I haven’t visited Forbes’s web site in months because they refuse to let me on with an ad blocker. If people keep coming to your website with an adblocker, that’s a pretty good indication that there’s something wrong with whatever’s on your website. And from what I understand, Forbes is a pretty bad mess. Anyway, a lot of website ads just look a bit iffy, and the ones that do end up carrying malware should feel very ashamed of themselves.

Thoughts on Windows 10 (aka the worlds worst disguised spyware)?

I’ve said some stuff earlier so here’s links to posts:

Telemetry

More telemetry

In comparison to El Capitan (no discussion of telemetry, and the comment on the El Capitan computer being more powerful than the Windows 10 computer is inaccurate now.)

A minor thing that I find annoying

Basically I like it better than 8/8.1, but I still dislike having to go through all the steps to disable data collecting. I use Spybot Anti-Beacon to disable more of the tracking that Microsoft won’t let you disable by default.

So what happened to your stream the other night? Did you figure out why you kept going offline?

Yeah! I thought it might’ve been my computer not being able to handle it, but my internet service was actually the problem and kept disconnecting.

I can’t stop looking at your arms, it’s like one of those optical illusion pictures. Well I wish you nothing but happiness.

Hahaha. It took me a second to realize what you meant. But thank you. :)

That reminds me of that one post I haven’t seen in ages. It was this girl wearing a Nirvana shirt & she asked who Kurt Cobain was.

Aaaand those are the kinds of people that steal our oxygen.
