Windows 10 upgrade will soon be easier to reject

That sentence just lacks "Mr. Anderson" at the end: So allow me to quote Mr. Anderson:

How Windows 10 became malware

One has to guess that real tin-foil hats will be very much in vogue 50 years from now.

I thank the gods for giving me the wisdom to completely disable WU over a year ago by toasting to Bacchus while I check that it remains disabled from time to time (you never know with these bloody malware providers).

Just add &t=XXmYYs to the video url, where XX is the minutes and YY the seconds you want the video to start at. Or add #t=ZZZZ , where ZZZZ is the total amount of seconds to the point where you want the video to start at. In this case, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwlQvjwYFEM would become: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwlQvjwYFEM&t=53m10s or: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwlQvjwYFEM#t=3190

Thanks Formiller. Some epic comments:

No!

Microborg can not be trusted at all anymore, since about a year ago or so anything from them must be treated as malware.

^ Agreed. Last ditch effort sucker bait.

If the antivirus positive worries you, or you don't trust patches as a rule, here's how to do it manually: (Google translation): http://translate.google.de/translate?sl=de&tl=en&u=http://www.unawave.de/windows-7-tipps/4-gb-patch-selber-machen.html (original in German): http://www.unawave.de/windows-7-tipps/4-gb-patch-selber-machen.html (Incidentally the current user interface of this forum is the most useless thing I've ever seen on the internet) /RANT

Unused RAM is wasted RAM. I'd go x64 or non-capped x86.

More sabotage: Microsoft Botches Up UEFI Support for Windows 7 on ASUS Motherboards "Microsoft inadvertently bricked a vast number of PCs running Windows 7, by changing the priority of an erroneous software update. Earlier this month, Microsoft changed the priority of an obscure-sounding security update for Windows 7 from "Optional" to "Recommended," (which by default gets automatically downloaded an installed). This update, KB3133977, bricks machines running ASUS motherboards, in the UEFI mode. Windows 7 inherently does not support Secure Boot, a feature introduced with Windows 8, which takes advantage of UEFI to provide users with a layer of system integrity throughout the boot process. With KB3133977 installed on Windows 7 machines that use UEFI boot, the motherboard senses a Secure Boot violation, and invalidates the boot device (refuses to boot from it). ASUS recommended a BIOS setting with which you can deactivate Secure Boot while making your motherboard continuing to boot in UEFI mode." "Security" updates and "Secure" boot make your system safe! It's for your security! Don't even think about running W7 without them!

At least in the good ole days they aimed at the enemy fleet. Nowadays they are torpedoing their own flagships (the worst possible sin in any navy ).

Heh heh if only today's flies on the walls could speak like yesteryears' ... AARD code

Ain't that a happy coincidence? [/SARCASM]
