The telemetry capture is a huge issue for me and also no longer releasing the contents of updates. I've done what I can to limit or minimize how much information is collected, but I shouldn't have to do that.
When Microsoft released their metrics on Windows 10 usage (for example, how many times their Photos app had been used), people should've been absolutely livid. Who knows what else is captured besides the process list?
It's way too black box for me.
1. "You agree that you irrevocably waive any and all ownership, legal and moral rights to your user content."
2. You're also not allowed to oppose "the basic principles determined in the Constitution of the People's Republic of China", harm it's "national honor and interests", or undermine it's "national religious policy, promoting cults and superstitions".
3. Also, you're not allowed to spread rumor, disturb social order, or undermine social stability.
There's other strange rules of conduct that just turned me off from the entire project. Besides, it doesn't see either of my wireless adapters and the desktop blanked out when it attempted to adjust my screen resolution:)
I'm still interested in getting completely off Windows 10, so I'll stick with Linux for now.
I might sound like a sucker, but that's just always been my thought on it. My mother once said something to me like that as a kid and I've applied it donating.
If they were that powerful, they'd just hit the "Turn off Daesh and Al Qaeda" switches at the controls, wouldn't you think?
It isn't as simple as you're making it. The CIA has been successful and very not successful in its history.
Our two Fire Sticks play of our NAS just fine. We even push video downloads in Kodi back to the NAS no problem. It took about an hour from pulling out of the box, to installing Kodi, configuring my streaming services and pointing it to our shared folders on the NAS.
Just wondering about the setup.
Interesting if it works that well. I could see people using this far more than the others coming out.
I have ZERO desire to ever smoke again. It's been about 4 years now and I'm still not (nor ever plan to be) an asshole ex-smoker telling other people to quit. Cigarette smoke still smells delicious though and I tell smokers when I'm near enough to smell it:)
Good luck. I don't think you'll have a problem.
I'm not sure what the solution is with this whole mess though.
After I send them an email explaining why.
No, because I don't normally use that browser. So, I guess the user doesn't get to know why, will just ignore the site and move on to something else.
I do actually know, but I'm pointing out the major problem from the user's perspective. If a everyday non-technical person visits, they're just going to assume the page is broken. You usually only get one (very short) attempt at getting the user interested enough to interact with your site.
They should be displaying the simple explanation why their site won't work on Firefox, IE, Safari, Opera, etc.
Boy, assembly was a bitch at first.
It was difficult to be a child in rural Georgia that wanted to read everything in existence on space, physics, etc. before the internet.
You hear a lot of fans gushing that Uber-type companies are awesome, but there's a ton of reasons why it shouldn't be done this way. If they had to compete with some of the things that a lot of employees (and companies) expect as very basic requirements, it wouldn't be nearly as disruptive (if much at all).
Now, I do agree that it's a massive chunk and it could be better used given up to the rest of the internet, but honestly we should be pushing harder on ipv6 instead.
The whole "They are the greatest force against peace and for suffering the world has ever known" part is a matter of opinion and I disagree with that statement.
